After thousands gathered at Edinburgh Castle<\/a> to watch composer Ludovico Einaudi, one audience member has hit out at the ‘disrespectful’ crowd <\/a>around them.<\/p>\n

The Italian pianist <\/a>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’.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“In the VIP section people were coming and going, leaving rubbish on the floor, speaking, having their phones up in the air.<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n
