Free Music Notes for Di Meola Plays Piazzolla

Free Music Review: Bi-Modal Reaction To Di Meola Playing Piazolla?
Hit: 5 Stars

I find myself shocked at the low ratings some reviewers have given this CD. In response to one of the "one star comments," ever heard an accomplished classical musician play jazz?

If I'm not mistaken, Di Meola knew Piazolla. More, he was deeply influenced by him. Hence, there is a real passion Di Meola brings to this disc. I don't think you have to be an audiophile to hear it.

If you've ever had the chance to see Di Meola play live you're in no doubt that be is one of of the greatest guitarists around. He's a master guitarist; just ask any real guitarist. He's also got breadth: jazz, world, classical.

Musical "cross training" can be a wonderful thing. Sting's take on Elizabethan music is simply wonderful. Something tells me that's what John Dowland's music really sounded like in the pubs and taverns of the time. I can see Di Meola in some bar in South America playing up a "classical" storm and the patrons loving it. He's got attitude.

For my taste too many classical musicians play it safe, buying into some fantasy about the past rather than the reality. A lot of socializing went on at operas in the past; folks even played chess during performances. I'm not bringing my chessboard when I go see Di Meola play next month. Won't be socializing either.

So... If you like Di Meola and Piazzolla--and don't need your music sanitized--not only is this a fabulous CD, but you'll want to check out DIABOLIC INVENTIONS & SEDUCTION FOR SOLO GUITAR: Vol. 1, Music of Astor Piazolla. Seems it's only available from Di Meola's web site, but a little Googling should get you there. (I can't wait for Vol. 2... and 3... 4?)

Also, Yo-Yo Ma's SOUL OF THE TANGO: THE MUSIC OF ASTOR PIAZZOLLA is wonderful. You also get Odair Assad on guitar.

Enjoy!
