"Einaudi vs Einaudi" is a captivating new chapter in Ludovico Einaudi's celebrated "The Summer Portraits" series, offering a fresh perspective on eight of the original album's most beloved tracks. This time, the reins are handed over to Ludovico's son, Leo Einaudi, an accomplished producer in his own right. The result is a mesmerizing blend of classical elegance and contemporary innovation, where the past meets the present in a harmonious dance of sound.
Released on August 29, 2025, via Decca (UMO) (Classics), this neoclassical gem clocks in at a concise 34 minutes, making it an ideal choice for both focused listening and background ambiance. The vinyl version will follow on October 17, 2025, offering an opportunity to experience the reworked tracks in their full analog glory.
Each track, from the hauntingly beautiful "In Limine" to the uplifting "To Be Sun," has been skillfully reimagined by Leo, adding new layers and dimensions to Ludovico's original compositions. The album serves as a testament to the Einaudi family's shared musical genius and their ability to push the boundaries of classical music.
As Ludovico prepares to take the stage at London's Royal Albert Hall in the summer of 2025 and embarks on a series of performances in Milan later in the year, "Einaudi vs Einaudi" offers a tantalizing glimpse into the evolving sound of one of the world's most beloved composers and his talented progeny. Whether you're a longtime fan of Ludovico's work or a newcomer to his music, this album is sure to captivate and inspire.
