Ludovico Einaudi - Divenire (Rsd Vinyl)

Facts Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Ludovico Einaudi's Divenire with a new 2LP pressing on transparent orange vinyl for Record Store Day 2026.
Divenire, meaning 'to become', includes instrumentation beyond solo piano, and the recording features cello, electronics and members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on a selection of the pieces. Einaudi himself describes the album concept as being tied to nature, movement and transformation, and his inspiration developed from his experiences performing his compositions in the Dolomites at a festival in 2002:
"Divenire (Becoming) developed over a long period, beginning in 2002 when I was invited by the organisers of the festival “I Suoni delle Dolomiti" (The Sounds of the Dolomites) to write a composition which I would be performing on a plateau 2000 metres up in the Dolomites against the backdrop of the Pale di San Martino. For that occasion I wrote a suite for piano, two harps and string orchestra, taking my inspiration from three paintings by the nineteenth ­century Swiss artist Giovanni Segantini, La vita, La natura and La morte (Life, Nature and Death). Performing with the orchestra in those spectacular surroundings was an extremely intense experience. I felt as if I were in a stream tumbling down a mountain­side, not only immersed in it, but an actual part of that unstoppable rush of water, and had that intoxicating sensation one feels when involved in a physical activity in contact with powerful natural forces, speed, water, space and wind. Since that experience I have done many other things, but have always thought that sooner or later I would develop the idea and expand it." - Ludovico Einaudi
