(ANSA) - ROME, 19 JAN - The poignant notes of the piano, Ludovico Einaudi's lamaestry who for the first time in the last twenty years is confronted with a solo piano album.

In fact, on January 21st, "Underwater" (Decca Records) comes out, 12 intimate, instinctive tracks and daughters of what we have lived in the last few months.


    "When the outside world was still and silent, I immersed myself in a free and boundless space - told the artist, in an online presentation, about the genesis of the album -. I was isolated and I enjoyed the peace around me.


   I perceived the sad silence of the world, which however turned into a sort of oxygen for me. I felt free to experiment, a freedom that I believe is reflected in the work. The music thus becomes a sort of manifesto of the way in which we have to reconsider our future life, also in respect of nature which during the lockdown reacted with strength. The beauty of slowness is substantial. ”


    Underwater's music came to life, naturally.


   "When everything stopped at the beginning of 2020 I was a bit annoyed: I had concerts in America, in Europe, then I started writing music every day, a sort of diary. Not an artistic obligation, but for the pleasure of doing it - says the composer. pianist - After a couple of months of this freedom of writing, I began to play it: they didn't even seem like pieces written by me, I felt something new and I started to appreciate this conversation between me and the piano, which restored my soft, warm and deep tone, connected with the touch of your fingers, as if it were the sound of a guitar.


   I wanted a piano that spoke and sang. "


    Underwater comes out after a very significant year for Ludovico Einaudi - the most listened to artist of all time in classic streaming -, who saw the release of the Cinemac album with his most famous soundtracks including those of the two most awarded films of the film season, winners of Oscars, Bafta and Golden Globe, Nomadland and The Father, as well as the series podcast Experience: The Ludovico Einaudi Story.
