With percussion, strings and piano from the opening, 'Nightbook' is immediately more rhythmic, driving and perhaps even slightly on edge. Amongst the blend there's a beautiful melodic interplay between the piano and a wonderful rich cello tone which remains prominent throughout over the chugging accompaniment; the same vibrato-laden, rich cello line reappears later during 'Fairytale'.

There's a higher pitched interjection in the middle of the piece that contrasts the almost rock sounding edge and pushes forward the delicate soothing nature glimpsed in other pieces. The peace is soon re-interrupted by the return of the full and powerful original blend and drive which launches into a triumphant sounding coda and resolution to close.

During 'Diveniere', piano and smooth strings ooze gentle slow-moving beauty tinged with a hint of melancholy; throughout the piece all parts become more fluid and active and build timely crescendos only to fade back to tranquillity.

The only criticism of this best of selection is that Einaudi's work remains centred around similar tonality, key signature, pace and feeling throughout; some may find the collection monotonous and lacking variety rather than letting themselves become immersed in its' beauty. Like many of his compositions, Einaudi constructs 'Dietro Casa' from a repeated simple four-chord progression akin to the construction of a simple pop song.

The expression that Einaudi performs with is much like that of Christopher O'Riley's recordings of Radiohead tracks; Einaudi's music is far more concerned with expression and feeling than virtuosy and impressive finger work. Later, 'Passagio' is an entrancing solo piano piece fuelled with the expression and tranquil beauty of many of Einaudi's compositions and contains more of a distinctive and logical structure than steadily developing contents of many preceding tracks.

While, as its' title suggests, 'Berlin Song' is more song-like than many other more film score type compositions, the concluding track of the Essential Einaudi collection, 'Melodia Africana III' sounds great familiarity to the preceding contents of the album but nonetheless continues to capture the distinctive beauty, delicacy and serenity of Einaudi's compositions.
