Piano song playing on bbc advert for Philomena and others

There is an advert on bbc for a documentary about Philomena and some other documentaries.

There is a piano playing a classical song, being played on the background - anyone know what song it is?

BBC use a lot of Ludovico Einaudi tracks for their background stuff if that helps?

Thanks! It was Einaudi - I Giorni

I've actually listened to it before and forgotten its name - I think it was changed slightly and used in the Twilight films - I saw a video of someone playing that the other day and it reminded me.

Are you thinking of A River Flows In You by Yiruma? Beautiful song, now ruined by the connection to those films.

Ah yes it is that song. They are very similar. I prefer the Einaudi one though.

It's not a bad thing that classical music is used in popular films even if the films are poor - gets people playing them and hearing them. It's not a film I like but I'm not really a big follower of classical music either - but in a roundabout way I've ended up liking these two pieces of music because of that connection.
