Review
by Michael G. Nastos
Although die-hard fans might not agree, others may contend that Al di Meola's acoustic guitar work is superior to his electric repertoire. You could cite a heightened sensitivity, an emphasis toward his classical and flamenco influences, and in many instances a calming of his pyrotechnics, allowing one to hear his voice more clearly. The acoustic tracks from his first two solo releases for Columbia Records are here, as well as his collaborations with John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia and the extended string-enhanced Chick Corea composition "Isfahan." He does play fast, but with more earthiness. This is a worthwhile collection for those being introduced to di Meola, as well as those who are weary of his speed-demon flashiness, which is often a detriment to his obvious musicality.

Reseña

Aunque los fans más acérrimos no estén de acuerdo, otros pueden afirmar que el trabajo de Al di Meola con la guitarra acústica es superior a su repertorio eléctrico. Se podría citar una mayor sensibilidad, un énfasis hacia sus influencias clásicas y flamencas y, en muchos casos, un apaciguamiento de su pirotecnia, lo que permite escuchar su voz con mayor claridad. Los temas acústicos de sus dos primeros lanzamientos en solitario para Columbia Records están aquí, así como sus colaboraciones con John McLaughlin y Paco de Lucía y la composición ampliada con cuerdas de Chick Corea "Isfahan". Toca rápido, pero con más terrenalidad. Esta es una colección que vale la pena para aquellos que se están introduciendo en di Meola, así como para aquellos que están cansados de su velocidad-demonio, que a menudo es un detrimento de su evidente musicalidad.
