A rich, moody tapestry with flashes of fire, this CD incorporates elements of
jazz, fusion, classical, Latin, tango, and Middle Eastern music. Sounding like
the romantic soundtrack to an excellent foreign film, its full of splendid
moments, like the wash of colors on Double Concerto, a sinuous composition by Al
di Meolas musical father and friend, Astor Piazzolla. Di Meola interprets two
more beauties from the late Argentine tango legend -- the tender Soledad and the
churning, incendiary Libertango, where he uses MIDI technology to approximate
the classic bandoleon sound -- and offers six of his own. One of them, the title
track, could be the most gorgeous, soulful melody of 2000, stated in ways
alternately delicate and powerful; when it finally crescendos its like the ocean
lifting, with the sun sparkling on it. His Opus in Green, written with fine
Argentine pianist Mario Parmisano, is very Return to Forever-like. Di Meola has
phenomenal technique and a gift for unhackneyed writing; his famous blistering
runs are in here, but only when they further the music -- not gratuitously added
for their own sake. The arrangements by di Meola and Parmisano make optimal use
of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and soloists, creating an organically textured
whole rather than the stringy soup that too often drowns such
collections.~Judith Schlesinger
