Description

Ludovico Einaudi's Underwater was released on Decca Records in January 2022 and is the Italian pianist and composer's first solo piano album for many years. Written during the 2020 lockdown and recorded at his studio Melo Fiorito in Dogliani, Piedmont in May 2021, the record returns to the stripped-back intimacy of his earliest work and strips away the string ensembles and electronic textures of his more recent output.

The set opens with Luminous and moves through twelve pieces including Flora, Natural Light, Wind Song and the closing title track Underwater. The piano itself was prepared by technician Fabio Angeletti, lending a softened, felted character to many of the pieces that reinforces the album's contemplative tone.

This 2×LP edition is presented in a gatefold sleeve, mastered by Zino Mikorey in Berlin, and pressed by GZ Media in the EU.
