Fresh from this year's triumph of the Nomadland and The Father soundtracks, illustrious composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi announces Underwater, his first new solo piano album in 20 years. Underwater was born in lockdown, utilising the rare opportunity for song-writing in its purest and most intimate form: just Einaudi and his piano. It features 12 newly-composed solo piano tracks, beautifully showcasing his unmistakable musical style which is renowned around the world.
On the making of Underwater during the pandemic, Einaudi explains: "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."
The beauty and genuine art in this music is through its simplicity, many other people can feel emotions. I see the time i was wandering in forest like it was yesterday. Thank you so much Sir. From Greenland.
Listened to this for over a decade now and it is still genius. Live or on an album it is true art. Not only in composition but also in executing its production again and again.
I wish there was this version with the added sound effects on Spotify, it makes the song feel more complete, and although the base song is already beautiful I would love to be able to listen to this version as well
