Seven Day Walking Day One

Seven Days Walking is the new album by Ludovico Einaudi. It is divided into seven episodes and seven albums (Day One, Day Two, etc. until Day Seven), which will be released at monthly intervals. This music folio includes the music in Day One. Every episode is fixated on some principal themes, which are repeated in various forms: seven variations following the same made-up journey, reviewed in seven different moments, with the episodes modelled on the days of the week.

The inspiration for this was from a winter hike in the Italian Alps to produce an wide-ranging project around the theme of Seven Days Walking. The music is as stunning, graceful and reminiscent as anything Einaudi has written previously. Extoled as his masterpiece, Seven Days Walking is the newest in the respected composer and pianist's brilliant work to date.
