Composer and Pianist Ludovico Einaudi's New Album, "The Summer Portraits"

Released on Decca, the album is a song cycle in 13 tracks dedicated to his childhood summer memories

 

Composer and Pianist Ludovico Einaudi has released his 17th studio album, The Summer Portraits, on Decca Records. Inspired by the reminiscence of childhood summers filled with freedom and discovery after traveling to a villa on a Mediterranean Island, the album includes 13 self-composed tracks.

"I thought that everyone has their own version of the summer portraits," Einaudi shared. “A beautiful season connected with the best moments of our lives. So I started to make my own paintings with music. This album is dedicated to all our endless summer memories, all our beautiful moments."

Part of the album was recorded at Abbey Road in London with baroque violin contributions from Théotime Langlois de Swarte and orchestral parts performed by the strings of The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Robert Ames. Other portions of the album were recorded in the intimacy of Einaudi's home studio in the countryside, where the whole experience was more personal, capturing the essence of The Summer Portraits.

Composer Ludovico Einaudi released his previous album, Adieux, in January 2024 garnering 2.5 million streams in a single day.
