Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi today announces his first ever collection of solo piano works, spanning his illustrious 30 year career. Entitled, simply, ‘Solo Piano’, the new collection will be released on 27th February on Decca.
Along with Einaudi’s best-loved solo piano compositions is the brand new piece, ‘Memory One’, which is revealed today. Ludovico himself explains, “Memory One is a special piece. It’s the song of who we were, transformed by who we’ve become.”
The collection takes the listener on a journey, using just the keys of a piano. From ‘Elegy for the Arctic’, which Einaudi famously performed on a floating platform in the Arctic Ocean for Greenpeace ten years ago (in 2016), to a special solo piano version of his highest-streamed track of all time, ‘Experience’ from 2013. Also featured are recognisable favourites such as ‘Nuvole Bianche’ and ‘Una Mattina’.
More recent hits such as ‘Adieux’, from 2024, which became the fastest-streamed classical track of all time after reaching 2.5 million streams on release day alone, and ‘Jay’, from 2025’s chart-topping album ‘The Summer Portraits’ can be heard alongside other breathtaking Ludovico Einaudi compositions, all telling his story.
This collection coincides with Einaudi’s forthcoming Solo Piano 2026 tour (details below), which sold out across the UK and Ireland within days of going on sale. The solo tour sees Einaudi return to London’s Royal Albert Hall where he completed a record-breaking run of six nights in 2025 with his full band.
Einaudi recently announced his biggest ever UK performance, at The O2 on Friday 10th July 2026, to which, due to exceptional demand, a second night was quickly added, on Saturday 11th July 2026. In contrast to the Solo Piano record and tour, the O2 concerts will feature Einaudi performing with his full band.
Over the past three decades, Einaudi has quietly become the world’s most successful contemporary classical artist, with music that has reached millions through film, television and live performances worldwide. From Arctic Ocean stages to record-breaking residencies at the Royal Albert Hall, Barbican and Sydney Opera House, Einaudi continues to bring his evocative, cinematic music to audiences around the globe, both with his ensemble and where it all started, on piano alone.
