Prolific classical musician Ludovico Einaudi is almost ready to share his next project. The most-streamed classical artist on the planet announced that his next album The Summer Portraits will be officially released on January 31, 2025. The lead single “Rose Bay” is out now.

Described as a song cycle, The Summer Portraits will have 13 tracks, including “Maria Callas,” a track inspired by the opera singer. Other tracks “Pathos,” “To Be Sun,” and “Sequence” feature Theótime Langlois de Swarte, the French violinist.

Listen to Ludovico Einaudi’s “Rose Bay” now.

Einaudi is also playing a number of dates across Europe this autumn, many of which are already sold out. These include a show in Torino, Italy, as well as five sold-out nights at the Royal Albert Hall in London, a record-setting run at the venue for a pianist.

The new project is inspired partially by the musician’s childhood in Torino. “I always considered Torino a place I would never go back to live. It was very grey, very industrial – I felt like I was in a cage,” Einaudi says in a press statement. “It’s a strange place, very poetic in a way. The soul of the people is more hidden. They don’t show things off – you have to find the dynamism inside yourself…”

More recently, the album was also influenced by a trip the composer took to a trip he took to Elba with his family, in addition to childhood trips to Bocca di Magra he would take with his father. “In Italy, we finish school at the beginning of June so that was when I moved to the seaside, right till the beginning of September,” the artist explains. “It was a long time without shoes! I was completely free to do as I liked, with nobody asking after me. It was amazing to be seven or eight, out walking by yourself – going out in the morning, coming back in the evening. I experienced all the best moments of life, from love to music to food. It was a full physical, emotional experience, year after year.”
