  • Passionate as always
    author: Deon Valodia

    The Jazz/Rock fusion fans may be somewhat surprised with Al Di Meola tributes to Astor Piazzolla.They may be further surprised by the fact that Piazzolla is a major influence on Di Meola's music. I feel blessed to lovingly appreciate all the dimensions of Di Meola's passionate soul. He is not one to walk in the shadow of another but adds his own touch of genius and, of course, this is how all Di Meola compositions are created first - on the solo guitar. The 'Milonga del Angel' revisited is particularly touching...long live progressive music: it requires the listener to continually grow with the artist's increased maturity. Thanx Al.

  • Al at his most comfortable
    author: Rusty

    The way the album moves and the music blends shows that Al is very relaxed and feels free to make music as only he can.The production and tone are superb.I feel that this is music free of deadlines,and very natural.Not that any of the previous works feel forced,but sometimes the best is done when you are feeling totally free.

  • al's always cool! This cd is up there with The Grand Passion and Cielo e Terra

    This is a brilliant rendering of these equisite Piazzolla compositions. The music is so beautifully suited to the solo guitar, it is remarkable that it has taken such a long time for such an interpretation. The virtuosic playing and interpretative genius of De Meola pays great tribute to a great composer.

  • magical inventive adventures guitarplaying
    author: Rozario

    Al Di Meola is a masterguitarist,both electrical and acoustic.Rhytmically fabulous and always a beautiful guitar tone.On this Cd his Spanish guitar sings so nice,sounds so fantastic.Very inventive and adventures interpretations of beautiful compositions.I will listen this Cd many more times because there's so much to listen.

  • An emotional tribute
    author: Yves D'Amours

    While "Plays Piazzolla" was in fact a compilation of earlier recordings, "Diabolic Inventions..." features new interpretations of material written by one of Al's musical heroes. Precise guitar work, occasionally accompanied by soft percussion. Turn off the lights and crank it up. I'd be willing to wait a few years for Volume 2 as long as it's as good as Volume 1 !!!

  • Al at his best!

    As it is Al Di's nature to produce a great CD of music. Diabolic inventions is as much Al as it is Astor. Thankyou Al

  • Al Di Meola is incredible
    author: Ann Schwab

    Yes, Al is incredible guitarist. I enjoy this cd as much as all his other recordings. Thanks for the beautiful music.

  • Acoustic Al at his best!
    author: Allen

    For years Al Di Meola has been interpreting the music of Astor Piazzolla both in twists to his own compositions and, as found in this collection, those of the late tango master. The sound quality is stunning as is Mr. Di Meola's performance. In recent live performances of these works he performs them solo where the multi-tracking to add percussion and such is done sparingly to keep the open, airy feel. Piazolla's music is very beautiful and melodic in Al's hands.

  • An inspiring work of invention and seduction for my senses!
    author: Bonnie (aka Aurorawolf)

    I ordered two copies of the CD, one for my friend and one for myself. We're both extremely pleased with the high quality of Al Di Meola's guitar playing. Each note is clear and beautiful, and the music truly inspires me. The first tune--Campero--came on a bit wild at first, but the longer I listen to it, the better I like it. As for the rest of the tunes, I simply and absolutely love them! Thank you Mr. Di Meola for the fantastic mood music. I eagerly await the next volume of Diabolic Inventions and Seductions. :) Namaste!

  • Divine!
