5.0 out of 5 stars Al Dimeola is absolutely amazing on Splendido Hotel!, August 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Splendido Hotel (Audio CD)

The reviews I happened to read before logging this entry were so off the mark I felt compelled to comment. Not only is the song writing fresh and exciting but Al's blistering yet remarkably clean and crisp guitar gymnastics have an eye opening, throat claring, mind boggeling effect on anyone who appreciates fine musicianship! Al is simply stated an American Treasure!

4.0 out of 5 stars Spledido Hotel..., January 25, 2006

D. S. HARDEN "a movie fan" (L.A.,CA USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Splendido Hotel (Audio CD)

I just purchased Splendido Hotel for $9.99 new! Years ago, I had the album on wax, but never did give it a good listen. I put the CD in my PC (at work, no less), and gave it a good listen. My conclusion? This album has something for everyone. Gang, it's not as bad as some of the reviewers have said. I actually like "I can tell" where Al sings (he sounds okay...), I like the music better (of course!). Get yourself an inexpensive copy and enjoy! Four stars...why?..."Elegant Gypsy" is head and shoulders over "Splendido Hotel!" That's why!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Guitar splendor, April 6, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Splendido Hotel (Audio CD)

Di Meola is awesome, his clean playing technique stands the test of time. While myself and many agree this album may not be in his top 5, it is a great album non the less. Al's fusion style is truly unique. This album is worth checking out if you like jazz fusion.

When this sprawling magnesium opus was first unleashed circa 1979, I approached it with some trepidation, unfortunately, that trepidation proved very well founded. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Plendido hotel
Great cd for those who lige the early works. It truly jams. Great melodies and very tight. I hate all the new DiMeola dreamy stuff so take it for what it's worth.

4.0 out of 5 stars Why oh why did Al have to sing?
Please, if you get this CD skip over tracks 3 and 8... they are certainly the most annoying tracks ever on an Al CD.

The rest of it is great though...

These musicians can play better with their eyes closed with their hands tied behind their backs while doing headstands under water than can most musicians you hear today. Read more
