Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi has announced his first ever collection of solo piano works, spanning his illustrious 30-year career. Entitled simply ‘Solo Piano,’ the new collection arrives February 27 on Decca. Along with Einaudi’s best-loved solo piano compositions comes the brand new piece “Memory One,” revealed today. Einaudi 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 compositions, all telling his story. The collection coincides with Einaudi’s forthcoming Solo Piano 2026 tour, 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 July 10, 2026, to which, due to exceptional demand, a second night was quickly added on Saturday July 11, 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.
