Title: de Grassi with ensemble
Product review: I was fortunate to see the tour for this album, which followed four excellent Windham Hill releases. Unfortunately this music did not capture the same magic for me as his previous albums, whether solo or ensemble, either on the album or in concert. Which is strange because "Clockwork" is *the* outstanding ensemble piece from early Windham Hill, and his previous all-solo-guitar album rivalled his marvelous debut for strong music & technique. There are interesting experiments here, like using the "sympitar" [guitar with sympathy strings like a sitar], but overall it just didn't add up to repeat play in my stereo.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
