Product Description
Customer Reviews
The compositions are beautiful, intricate and immensely accomplished; technically, this work is phenemonal, being, if anything, even more demanding than "Friday Night". The rhythmic prowess and stylistic variation, fluidly moving between musical styles, has stepped up yet another gear.
This is brilliant music by three virtuoso musicians who play together with fantastic cohesion and telepathy.
Finally, the recording is superb -- suprisingly, considering it is a digital recording from the early 80s -- with the guitars spatially placed with excellent stability, captured with excellent dynamic range, excellent tone and harmonic richness, and a perfect balance acheived between capturing the guitar detail with the acoustic ambience.
If you loved "Friday Night", or indeed just love high quality acoustic material in general, this album should be considered an essential purchase.
My only criticism would be the rather short run time of this album.
The standout track for me is di Meola’s ‘Orient Blue’ which has a beautiful, haunting, melodic opening which gradually progresses into a fiery flamenco style ‘outro’. The two tracks written by de Lucia, particularly ‘Sichia’, are fantastic pieces in themselves but on the whole the album lacks the ‘Passion’ and ‘Fire’ of the live recordings whilst not achieving the ‘Grace’ of the follow up.
If you, like me, are willing to purchase an album on the basis that it contains one or two brilliant tracks that are not available elsewhere then this is a must have album for ‘Orient Blue’ alone, but don’t be disappointed if it doesn’t quite live up to your expectations.
