Free Music Notes for The Water Garden
Free Music Review: Masterful, soothing, flowing, virtuoso guitar playing!
Hit: 5 Stars
One of the reasons I picked this disc up is because it is encoded in HDCD, myself being an audiophile who enjoys great music and great QUALITY in a recording. That said, I always had heard of Alex, but never bought anything from him. Upon my first play, I was hooked. Alex's technique and sound is incredible! His guitar playing is so liquid and seemingly effortless, it truly does evoke being transported to one of the most tranquil, scenic, aromatic places that exist on earth! His is one of the most unique styles of acoustic guitar playing I have ever heard, and that is a compliment. Bliss= me, this disc, and my Magneplanars!!!Free Music Review: Masterful, soothing, flowing, virtuoso guitar playing!

I do think this album deserves 5 stars, although I personally don't like it. I don't like this style of ultra-precise, sharp, "plucky" guitar-playing in which every note sounds completely separate (I'm not a big fan of "New Acoustic" music, which seems to often sound this way); I like music that is fuller and "flows" together more. This album does make me think of water, but of thousands of individual drops, rather than waves or a waterfall. If you love very crisp-sounding solo classical/New Acoustic guitar music (with a hint of jazz) you will probably love this album. Just not my type of music.Free Music Review: The way its meant to be...
Hit: 5 Stars
Similar in attitude and style as ADG earliest WH recordings, but mature and more recent. Thats why its arguably one of his greatest!
If your not familiar with A. de grassi, you must get one of his albums. This is a great place to start!
Genius moments of chance-like, random arppegiation that captures the sounds of rain.....
Noir.
Hats off to the beauty of solo De Grassi. Outrageously good.
Free Music Review: "Prelude" is a great tune!
Hit: 5 Stars
(Dennis Girbach) below who said that "Prelude" (the first song from "The Water Garden") wasn't art"... sounds ignorant.Notice the poly-rhymic and random space De Grassi captures! Its Claude Monet on guitar for Pete's Sake!
This impressionistic, "sprinting" approach is common on De Grassi compositions and is a large part of what has made him so unique and his music so beautiful. ...
