CD ReviewsA marvellous piece of music 07/21/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "Guitarist John McLaughlin performs with full orchestra in this recording of his vibrant, evocative "Mediterranean Concerto." The piece is a stunning collage of moods and colour that defies classification.Is it jazz? Is it classical? It doesn't matter. If you like sun and ocean and wine and garlic, you'll like this music. It's a great way to bring a little Mediterranean light into a drab northern winter. And the CD also includes some pleasant piano-guitar duets. A bargain, for anyone interested in modern music that does more than fill AM airtime." Where's the soloist? Georgia L. Arvidson | Dickinson, TX USA | 11/08/2003 (3 out of 5 stars) "I always thought the Concerto was supposed to feature the soloist. McLaughlin is so buried by the orchestra most of the time it could be considered a Symphony with something else going on in the distant background. This is a great dissappointment because it is obvious, aside from the terribly bad mix, that this could have been a remarkable recording. Hopefully John did not OK this mix. The London Symphony's performance of Michael Gibb's sparkling orchestration of McLaughlin's work is truely world class. McLaughlin's performance of his own work shows his incredible performance capability. I cry when I can't hear it." Very impressive work by mclaughlin Charlie Harris | Edmonds, Wa USA | 02/08/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "This cd deserved more promotion than it got. The slow second movement of the concerto is absolutely beautiful and evocative - certainly to the level of more famous concertos such as those by Rodrigo. Just the second movement of the concerto is worth the price of the cd. The piano/guitar duets are pretty moving as well. I highly recommend this CD. John Mclaughlin deserves a lot of praise for his compositional skills on this one - as well as his fleet fingered guitar exploits."
