After thousands gathered at Edinburgh Castle to watch composer Ludovico Einaudi, one audience member has hit out at the ‘disrespectful’ crowd around them.
The Italian pianist performed twice at the castle, on July 10 and 11, with some branding it ‘absolutely unreal’ and ‘ethereal’. One fan, however, claimed the audience left them ‘so disappointed’.
They said people were ‘coming and going, leaving rubbish on the floor and speaking’ while Einaudi performed some of his most popular songs including Nuvole Bianche and Experience.

In a clip posted to TikTok, the audience member shows multiple people moving around and chatting while the pianist is on stage. The concert go-er said: “Before you come at me, I recorded my favourite piece for 30 seconds.
“In the VIP section people were coming and going, leaving rubbish on the floor, speaking, having their phones up in the air.

However, many other audience members seemed to enjoy their night at the castle. Another post reads: “Watching Ludovico Einaudi perform outside Edinburgh Castle will be permanently etched in my brain.”
