Eminent pianist and melodist Ludovico Einaudi expresses his eagerness for a potential collaboration with hit-maker Eminem.
Ludovico Einaudi, the most streamed classical artist of all time, is set to release a new album titled The Summer Portraits. Known for his calming and introspective solo piano music, Einaudi creates an album within a concept or idea, which varies for each album.
For The Summer Portraits, Einaudi found inspiration in a house he stayed in during a summer holiday. The paintings depicted the pine trees and distant sea view that surrounded the house, causing him to reflect on his own childhood summers in Italy.
Einaudi's music-writing process involves not involving his brain too much and capturing sonic moments on his phone. This approach resulted in a collection of pieces that evoke the feeling of long, free, and carefree summer days filled with exploration and camaraderie.
While there is currently no confirmed collaboration between Einaudi and Eminem, the idea has sparked the imagination of fans. Some have created mashups or edits combining Eminem's songs with Einaudi’s piano pieces, showing interest in such a potential collaboration.
Einaudi's mother, Renata, was an amateur pianist, and his father had been a professional conductor. Renata's childhood saw Mussolini's rise to power in Italy, and her father fled the country rather than conduct the Fascist hymn at each concert. Music was a constant source of comfort and connection for Renata, serving as a way to bridge the distance caused by her father's absence.
Einaudi's music has been used for various life events such as weddings, family additions, study sessions, and concentration aid. One of his sources of inspiration is the book The Waves by Virginia Woolf.
The Summer Portraits is now available on Decca Records, offering listeners a chance to immerse themselves in Einaudi's evocative and poignant music. Whether you're reminiscing about your own summer memories or seeking a calming soundtrack for your day, this album is sure to deliver.
