"This album is by far the deepest & most sensual of his works. I am moved each and every time I listen. It sets the perfect mood for a night passion...Enjoy..."
Mediterranean Fire

"Cielo e Terra is a recording of profound beauty. It explores Latin motifs with an uncanny delicacy, a subtle sweetness, and a deep sense of the dramatic. Here Al Di Meola demonstrates that his virtuosity is qualified by a sensitivity of great dimension--a capacity which has never been rightfully acknowledged. In spite of this oversight, Di Meola has opened the door to the transcendent gift of our Mediterranean and Latin American heritage.
Sincerely,
Michael"
One of the most unforgettable records I have had

"Al Di Meola is most certainly one of the greatest guitarists of our time. In this album, he mixes talent, virtuosity and feeling for the pleasure of our ears and hearts. With latin sensuality and yet very rythmic lines, he and is fellow musicians deliever a wounderfull artistic performance.Thanks for such a great gift!"
Pure Art

"This is an absolutely enchanting work of art and acoustic guitar mastery. It's not quite jazz, not quite classical, and draws influence from South America. It is probably his most under-appreciated work, yet it is in my opinion his best work to date. He shies away from his loud fusion sound which made him successful in the 70s, and instead shows a different side of himself with this album. The music is emotional and esoteric at the same time. It truly showcases his compositional skills. Al DiMeola himself says this is the album he is most proud of. True guitar fanatics will love this album."
Fantastic
