Ludovico Einaudi announces the release of his first discographic collection entirely dedicated to solo piano. The album, simply titled Solo Piano, will be released by Decca on 27 February 2026 and coincides with his upcoming European tour, which opens on 28 February in Austria and will reach Italy with two performances at the Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino on 20 and 21 May 2026. Further major tour dates include Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, England, Switzerland and Ireland, offering audiences across Europe the opportunity to experience the purest essence of Einaudi’s music on some of the continent’s most prestigious stages.

Solo Piano and its accompanying live performances retrace thirty years of Ludovico Einaudi’s remarkable career. Alongside the solo piano compositions most beloved by audiences, the collection features the previously unreleased piece Memory One, which Einaudi describes as follows: “Memory One has the substance of an essence, a short story born in a moment I did not wish to forget.” The album leads listeners and concertgoers on a journey guided solely by the piano keys, from “Elegy for the Arctic”, performed by Einaudi on a floating platform in the Arctic Ocean for Greenpeace in 2016, to a special solo piano version of "Experience" (2013), his most widely streamed work to date. The programme also includes iconic pieces such as “Nuvole Bianche” and “Una Mattina”. More recent successes, including “Adieux” (2024), which set a streaming record with 2.5 million plays on its release day, and “Jay”, from the album “The Summer Portraits”, which topped the charts in 2025, are joined by other emblematic works from Einaudi’s artistic journey, all of which will also feature in the concert programme.

Over the past thirty years, Ludovico Einaudi has progressively established himself as the leading contemporary classical composer, reaching millions of listeners through cinema, television and major international stages. From performances in the Arctic Ocean to record-breaking residencies at the Royal Albert Hall, the Barbican and the Sydney Opera House, Einaudi continues to share his music with audiences worldwide, both at the head of his ensemble and in its most essential form—where it all began: the solo piano.
