The most streamed classical artist of all time, Ludovico Einaudi returns to the Kennedy Center fresh from his recent triumphs composing the scores to acclaimed films The Father and six-time Oscar-winner Nomadland . Witness the famed pianist LIVE performing works from Underwater , his first new solo album in 20 years. Born in lockdown, Underwater displays the virtuoso’s unmistakable sound in its purest and most intimate form: just Einaudi and his piano.

Underwater features 12 transcendent solo piano tracks, beautifully showcasing Einaudi’s luminous, emotive, effortlessly lyrical, and supremely refined sound. This new album embraces the simple purity of songwriting, each note touched with an innocent, delicate beauty.

On the making of Underwater during the pandemic, Einaudi explains: “The music came naturally, more than ever before. I felt a sense of freedom to abandon myself and let the music flow differently. I didn’t have a filter between me and what came out of the piano; it felt very pure. The title Underwater is a metaphor—it is an expression of a very fluid dimension, without interference from outside.”

Underwater follows an exciting year for Einaudi, which saw the release of the soundtracks to Oscar, BAFTA, and Golden Globe-winning films Nomadland and The Father (which include tracks from his immensely popular 2019 release Seven Days Walking ), compilation album Cinema , showcasing Einaudi’s composition achievements in film and TV, and new podcast mini-series Experience: The Ludovico Einaudi Story , which features celebrated filmmakers including multiple award-winning actor and director Russel Crowe ( Gladiator ), Oscar-winning director Chloe Zhao ( Nomadland ), Academy Award winner Florian Zeller ( The Father ), Shane Meadows ( This is England ) and Eric Toledano ( The Intouchables ).

Einaudi is one of the most ubiquitous contemporary composers of the century, repeatedly topping the classical charts globally, and becoming the biggest streamed classical artist of all time. Einaudi transcends generations and, in addition to his chart and streaming accolades, enjoys more than 1 million YouTube subscribers, 10 million views, and 150 thousand pieces of content on TikTok.

Groundbreaking composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi has announced his first new solo piano album in 20 years, ‘Underwater’, and a UK tour in 2022.

Published on

Ludovico Einaudi, the most-streamed classical artist of all time, has announced he will release Underwater , his first new solo piano album in 20 years, on 21 January 2022 and a UK tour in March 2022. Einaudi has wanted to write a solo piano album for several years but needed the right environment to be able to fully commit to the project. Lockdown gave him this rare opportunity. He embraced the isolation from his normal busy schedule and wrote 12 new solo piano tracks showcasing his distinctive musical style, which is recognised throughout the world, for his new album Underwater .

“It came naturally, more than ever before”

Ludovico Einaudi’s new album Underwater is a manifesto for life and a statement for the time when the world around him was quiet and still during the pandemic. He explained, “It came naturally, more than ever before. I felt a sense of freedom to abandon myself and let the music flow differently. I didn’t have a filter between me and what came out of the piano; it felt very pure. The title Underwater is a metaphor – it is an expression of a very fluid dimension, without interference from outside.”

Underwater follows a remarkable year for Ludovico Einaudi with the release of soundtracks to Oscar, BAFTA, and Golden Globe-winning films Nomadland and The Father (which include tracks from his chart-topping 2019 release Seven Days Walking ), and the compilation album Cinema , featuring his greatest works for film and television.

Experience: The Ludovico Einaudi Story , a new podcast mini-series, was also launched in 2021 starring celebrated filmmakers including multiple award-winning actor and director Russell Crowe (Gladiator), Oscar-winning director Chloe Zhao ( Nomadland ), BAFTA-winning director and screenwriter Shane Meadows ( This is England ), Academy Award winner Florian Zeller ( The Father ), and multiple award-winning director Eric Toledano ( The Intouchables ). The series explores what it is that makes Einaudi’s soothing minimalist compositions so perfect for these challenging times.

UK tour dates March 2022

Ludovico Einaudi will return to the UK for the following live tour dates in March 2022:

London – Eventim Hammersmith Apollo (Band Performance) – 21, 22 & 23 March Manchester – 02 Apollo (Band Performance) – 24 March London – Alexandra Palace Theatre (Solo Performance) -26 & 27 March

Fans can pre-order Ludovico Einaudi’s new album Underwater from the Einaudi Universal Music store before 3pm on Monday 18 October to gain access to the pre-sale ticketing window.

Ludovico Einaudi – Underwater

Release date

21 st January 2022

Luminous, Almost June, Wind Song

World-famous and highly popular pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi has been consistently at the top of classical music charts worldwide. The maestro has authored the scores of many Academy Award, Golden Globe and BAFTA-winning films – recently The Father and Nomadland .

The exquisite Underwater is Einaudi’s first solo album in 20 years and was written during lockdown. The artist describes the work as a place he could “swim” in freedom, without the intrusion of thinking or the stress of on-the road-performing: “I didn’t have a filter between me and what came out of the piano; it felt very pure.” The record’s title is a metaphor, “an expression of a very fluid dimension, without interference from outside,” and the inspired cover art is his own. For his Underwater tour in March, Einaudi will be performing live in London – his first concert in the UK in three years.  

Peaceful first track Luminous invokes an early morning walk through the countryside. It is followed by Rolling Like a Ball , with a gliding, rhythmic melody that might elicit an image of children playing by a river. With its intriguing distinctly alternating sections, it seems to be telling a story.

Indian Yellow ’s gentle piano licks are moody and soulful, while the initial solemnity of Flora transitions to a captivating, flowing refrain, followed by an increase in tempo, becoming more dynamic, creating anticipation, then softening.

Like a summer breeze, Natural Light is wistful, philosophical – then with undulating chords wakes up, becoming alive. Like a harmonious fusion of folk melody and a child’s nursery rhyme, the lovely Almost June surprises with a scintillating stanza, evoking sparkling stars.

Swordfish is introspective, bringing to mind an inner monologue. Combining a touch of Baroque and a hint of Mozart, it recalls a muted version of the theme from the classic film The Go-Between . The slightly surreal Wind Song ’s powerful deep keys are in counterpoint with high chords, followed by echoing notes and gorgeous transitions to cascading tones. Richly dramatic, the piece is vaguely ghostly and might be a score for a romantic thriller.

Opening with a bucolic serenity, then brooding base tones, Atoms deftly incorporates low chords and rippling mid-notes in a form of duet. Temple White ’s strong hybrid tones undulate and flow, evoking a river or tranquil ocean waves with sunlight reflecting on the water, and culminating in a rising tempo like the crest of a wave.

Nostalgic, expressing quiet happiness, the tender keyboard intonations of Nobody Knows project the carefree innocence of a child’s perspective. And finally the title track’s simple, grave and unusual notes convey calm and deep contemplation.  

Characterising music as “pure emotion” the virtuoso likens writing Underwater to “inner poetry” and compares composing on the keyboard to reading a poem to a friend. The result is superb – eloquent, graceful, serene and thought-provoking, this exquisitely conceived and composed work is unadulterated joy.  

Catherine Sedgwick

Underwater is released on 21 st January 2022. For further information or to order the album visit Ludovico Einaudi’s website here .
