Al Di Meola World Sinfonia '09

Al Di Meola holds the most prestigious guitar awards (of any guitarist in the world) from the highest rated guitar poll in the world, Guitar Player Magazine. From the beginning of his solo career, records like “Land of the Midnight Sun”, “Elegant Gypsy” and “Casino”, were amongst the highest selling records of any instrumental artist at that time. His awesome technique and musical depth can be traced back to his debut with Chick Corea’s Return to Forever in 1974. 1980 marked the triumph of “Friday Night in San Francisco” with fellow guitarists Paco De Lucia and John McLaughlin. The record became a landmark recording resulting in wide acclaim. In 2000, Di Meola assembled what he describes as his “best group by fit, in my career”...Al Di Meola World Sinfonia. Di Meola is now playing exquisite songs laced with tango melodies and exotic rhythms that result in complex, acoustic, world music that is different in sound, but still shows his remarkable virtuosity and speed with their latest album “Live in Milano”.
