It was recorded by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Robert Ziegler with the composer, Ludovico Einaudi, as the piano Master.[2]

The album has received positive reviews from music critics. AllMusic's James Manheim wrote "They (the tracks) are artfully done, stepping up to the line of pure schlock but not crossing over, and using the simplicity of minimalist patterns to rope audiences into something that's actually slightly different." Sputnikmusic gave the album 4.5 stars saying "Divenire is filled with piano compositions that capture the attention and emotions of listeners and probably won't give them back." Classic FM wrote that the title track is "A piece that builds from a simple piano chord sequence to a swirling hive of activity."[8]
