In a Time Lapse is a studio album by Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi released on January 21, 2013. Two days before the release, on January 19, Einaudi played live from his home in Milan solo arrangements of some of the music from In a Time Lapse through his official YouTube channel. "In a Time Lapse" has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from music critics. According to a Classic FM review, "The Italian composer strikes gold once more with a haunting combination of dreamlike piano tunes and busy orchestral soundscapes." The CD Critic put forth that In a Time Lapse is "gorgeously ambient." The Independent was mesmerized by the "trancelike wave motion of tracks like 'Corale' and 'Run'", while also commenting on Einaudi's talent, saying that "there's a deeply satisfying emotional logic to his piano-based progressions that makes him as much the inheritor of Chopin and Satie as minimalists such as Glass and Reich."
