Fresh from this year's triumph of the Nomadland and The Father soundtracks, illustrious composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi announces Underwater, his first new solo piano album in 20 years. Underwater was born in lockdown, utilising the rare opportunity for songwriting in its purest and most intimate form: just Einaudi and his piano. It features 12 newlycomposed solo piano tracks, beautifully showcasing his unmistakable musical style which is renowned around the world.

On the making of Underwater during the pandemic, Einaudi explains: "It came naturally, more than ever before. I felt a sense of freedom to abandon myself and let the music flow differently. I didn’t have a filter between me and what came out of the piano; it felt very pure. The title Underwater is a metaphor – it is an expression of a very fluid dimension, without interference from outside."
