4.0 out of 5 stars Greater evidence of the depth of Pat Metheny as an artist, August 31, 1998

Depth. That is the word that comes to mind when thinking about Pat Metheny and his music. This recording was a pleasant surprise. Having not heard much about it I figured it was one to be brushed under the rug. But I was pleasantly wrong. Thought not as "catchy", perhasp, as several of the latest PMG offerings, Pasdsagio Per Il Paradiso is a lush, satisfying suite of themes. Like some of the softer selections from Falcon and the Snowman, the tome is reflective and introspective, aside from a pulsating, optimistic closing. The playing is solid, the sounds are familiar, wth emphasis on the Synclavier. No, not a ground breaker, but I like this album because it offers me a more complete picture of Pat Metheny as a composer and an instrumentalist. I can almost see pitcures from the movie (which I have not yet seen) when listening to this recording. That, to me, is the sign of an effective soundtrack recording. I think we'll hear more movie music from Pat in the future. It suits him. It suits me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, October 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Passaggio Per Il Paradiso (Audio CD)

If you really liked 'Secret Story', you'll love this one. It's a really 'quieting and making you calm' kind of music. It makes you realize Pat is not only a wild jazz artist from the together-with-Scofield era, but also an artist who knows a handful of different styles of music and places them in the midst of all his musical ideas. It's the same kind of music you'll be able to also find on 'Imaginary Day'

4.0 out of 5 stars Gentle into the Night (Passagio per il Paradiso), February 3, 2000

By

This is a great soundtrack by a fabulous musician. I highly recommend watching the film. It's english title is "Gentle into the Night". You can't help but appreciate the genius and expertise that went into composing for this movie. The pieces reflect the various themes and characterizations in the film. The "main title" and it's various treatments are a joy to listen to.
