Seven Days Walking is a set of studio releases by Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi. The project consists of seven volumes of music released over the course of seven months, beginning with the first volume, Seven Days Walking: Day One, on 15 March 2019. A complete box set of the project was released on 22 November 2019. It was announced on 1 March 2019, and a single from Day One, "Cold Wind Var. 1", was released on the same day. Seven Days Walking features Einaudi on piano, Federico Mecozzi on violin and viola, and Redi Hasa on cello.[1][2]

Background

In 2015, Ludovico Einaudi released the album Elements, which became his first album to reach the top 15 of the UK Albums Chart, a feat unattained by a classical artist for over 20 years.[3][4] He consequently embarked on a world tour to support the album.[5]

In January 2018, Einaudi frequently went on walks in the

Air Studios in London.[6]
