5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Artist, Fantastic Release!, October 2, 2002

Stevie Vai's Favored Nations label has now branched out to cover acoustic artists recently signing Tommy Emmanuel, Peter Huttlinger, Pierre Bensusan and Peppino D'Agostino. These acoustic performers offer a dramatic contrast in style to the electric side of the house which features the likes of Stevie Vai, Greg Koch, Eric Johnson's Alien Love Child and Greg Bissonette. The artists here are every bit as accomplished as their electric counterparts but, as with D'Agostino's latest release, offer a mellow and more relaxed view of the fret board. On this release, D'Agostino plays some of the instrumental guitar solos which he wrote over the last 35 years. While not a true greatest hits CD, it is a selection by the artist of some of his personal favorites. For good measure, Peppino throws in two new compositions, "The Blue Ocean" and "Under The Same Sky". On all tracks Peppino's nylon strings sing out beautifully and without compromise.

5.0 out of 5 stars You WON'T be disappointed!, January 19, 2003

This is a fantastically diverse collection of moodscapes for acoustic guitar; Peppino is a true original, and while his playing often features impressive technical flourishes, it also has a deeper, lyrical quality that makes a lasting impression in your consciousness. Just listen to "Costa Rica" turned up a bit to get the feel of the brightness and energy that this Italian-born maestro channels into the instrument. For a real treat, catch Peppino live!

I have never purchased a strictly instrumental CD before, but this is an amazing work. Calming and pleasing notes and tones deliver more than I expected. This is the best CD I have ever bought. Each song delivers an unexpected treat. Usually a CD has one great song and several so-so. Not here. They are all an experience of greatness. Loved it!
