I was expecting more of a fiery/fusion fingerprint when listening to this album for the first time. Contrary to that,
McLaughlin shows another not yet much explored faced of him - classical music.
Logically, classical music and frenetic speedy playing is not a frequent connection and McLaughlin respects this in
attempt to play in a more solemn and stately way.The long 26+ minute suite is more interesting with orchestra and classical guitar being in good balance. For a non-trained classical music listener, it may be a challenging listening. The following four homages are neatly played but forgettable in the long run. Non-essential for most McLaughlin and fusion fans.
