此刻，音樂凝結成冰川、雨露、潮汐與濕氣——

義大利國寶級鋼琴家魯多維柯．艾奧迪，在心靈沉澱後，藉音樂深潛，探尋你記憶中的日常光景。

北極冰川上，他以琴鍵點綴冰原崩落、極地融解的末世之聲，奏出超越千萬點閱的〈北極輓歌〉；山林步道中，他以音符勾勒沿途風景，思緒隨薄霧與冷風紛飛，化為電影《父親》和《遊牧人生》中澄澈心靈的自由樂章。

他，正是義大利當代古典主義作曲家魯多維柯．艾奧迪。

他的《散策七日》紀錄每日散步路徑，觀察路途與心境的細微變化；而《水世界》則探索水面下的無垠空間，展現純淨極簡之美。本次，艾奧迪融合兩張專輯精神，以及新專輯《夏日印象》，在日常光影中，為你探尋一個洗淨鉛華的世界。

On a platform in the Arctic Sea in front of a glacier, Einaudi played "Elegy for the Arctic" on the piano, which he composed to call attention to environmental crises, such as the collapsing of glaciers and melting of polar ice sheets. This performance has been viewed by more than 10 million people online. Furthermore, his iconic music featured in Oscar winning films like The Father and Nomadland exhibits his endless creativity and ability to paint scenes through music.

This is Ludovico Eainaudi, the Italian brilliant minimalist musician of the generation.

Seven Days Walking records his daily walks and observations, as well as the subtle changes in his mood, while Underwater explores the boundless space below the surface of water, with purity and simplicity. This time, Einaudi combines the spirit of these two albums and his new album The Summer Portraits, to explore the unmasked world amid scenes from daily life.

魯多維柯．艾奧迪 Ludovico Einaudi

「如果你沒聽過他的音樂，那可能只是因為你不知道那是他寫的。」—— 《衛報》
"If you haven't heard the music of Ludovico Einaudi, then it's probably because you don't know it's by Ludovico Einaudi. "－ The Guardian

魯多維柯．艾奧迪是鋼琴家兼作曲家，生於義大利都靈。他的母親是位業餘鋼琴家，或許正是母親將他引領入音樂的世界，在他心中埋下了往後光輝事業的音樂種子。他在都靈音樂院開始學習音樂，之後在米蘭音樂院畢業，他曾隨貝里奧（Luciano Berio）和史托克豪森（Karlheinz Stockhausen）學習。1982年，他獲得獎學金赴美參加坦格伍德音樂節（Tanglewood Music Festival），首次接觸到美國的極簡主義音樂，自此展開了一段「走向本質的旅程」，試圖在最低限度的元素中達到最強烈的表達。

艾奧迪開始受到音樂界關注，是從1996年發行的首張鋼琴獨奏專輯《海浪》（Le Onde），靈感來自於維吉尼亞·沃爾芙的同名小說。而讓他最受國際矚目的，則是2016年，他受綠色和平組織委託創作，在北極冰川上演奏《北極輓歌》（Elegy for the Arctic）。該影片於網路上架後，立刻獲得廣大迴響，至今已累積近兩千萬次瀏覽。

2019年的《散策七日》（Seven Days Walking）則源自艾奧迪在冬日山間漫步的靈感。這項計畫推出一共七張專輯，每一張專輯代表他「如迷宮般蜿蜒的創作過程，跟隨在冰雪下去蕪存菁的形式」。儘管隨之而來的疫情讓艾奧迪的世界巡演暫停，然而《散策七日》和《元素》（Elements）當中的曲目卻透過電影傳播，並成為當年最受讚譽的兩部奧斯卡電影《游牧人生》（Nomadland，趙婷執導）與《父親》（The Father，佛羅里安．澤勒執導）中的配樂。

2021年夏天，艾奧迪將音樂回歸自然，在國家公園、自然保護區、溪谷、湖泊和原始的山地草原中舉行了十一場音樂會，邀請觀眾將音樂體驗與自然景觀融合。而在封城期間，他感受到了無聲的世界與時間的停滯，因此於2022年推出了鋼琴專輯《水世界》（Underwater），以「自由流動」比喻不受外界干擾的狀態，讓音樂回歸更純粹、更即時的情感交流，在鋼琴前與聽眾進行私密的對話。

2025年，艾奧迪推出全新專輯《夏日印象》（The Summer Portraits），這張專輯獻給我們無盡的夏日時光與美好回憶。

Pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi was born in Turin on November 23rd 1955. Perhaps it was his mother, an amateur pianist, who first introduced him to music, planting the seeds for what would become an illustrious career. He began to study music at the Conservatory of Turin and graduated under Azio Corghi at the Conservatory of Milan, and then studied with Luciano Berio, becoming his assistant, and with Karlheinz Stockhausen. In 1982 his talents won him a scholarship to the Tanglewood Music Festival, where he first came into contact with American minimalism.

With the album Stanze (1992), a collection of sixteen compositions for harpist Cecilia Chailly, he set off on “a journey towards essentiality, trying to achieve the maximum expressive intensity using the minimum indispensable”. But it was with Le Onde [The Waves] (1996), his first solo album, inspired by Virginia Woolf’s novel, that he truly caught the piano world’s attention. In 2016 he performed his “Elegy for the Arctic”, commissioned by Greenpeace, on a floating platform amidst the ice in the Arctic Ocean.

Emerging from long winter walks in the mountains, Seven Days Walking is an ambitious and visionary project of seven records, released monthly from March to October 2019, representing as many variations around the same imaginary route, “following the meandering creative process as in a labyrinth, among the forms denuded by the cold, in a kind of extreme essentiality”. Performances and world tours were interrupted by the pandemic, but some of his music from Seven Days Walking and Elements continued to walk on its own, in the two most awarded films of the season: Nomadland by Chloé Zhao, (six Oscars, two Golden Globes and the Golden Lion in Venice) and The Father, by Florian Zeller.

In the summer of 2021, Einaudi took his music back to nature, in a series of eleven concerts immersed in the breathtaking scenery of national parks, nature reserves, creeks, valleys, lakes and pristine mountain meadows, reachable only on foot, at dawn, at dusk and under starry skies. An invitation to merge the musical experience with the natural landscape. But it was the experience of suspended time during the lockdown, “with the world outside quiet and silent”, that led to the new solo piano album, released in 2022 and entitled Underwater, “a metaphor for fluidity without external interference”. A fresher and more immediate approach to music, in the flow of emotions, in an intimate conversation, face to face, with the piano”.

January 31st, 2025 marks the release of The Summer Portraits, an album dedicated to all our endless summer memories, all our beautiful moments.
