"As you hear to this music, you will enjoy one of the most singular and beautiful musical experiences one can ever have. Egberto Gismontis' sincerity, and his sense of touch, rhythm and musical spirit goes far beyond any standard, and reaches a realm of freedom and beauty that truly enhances our cultural condition, remaining as "a thing of beauty", sublime and lasting forever. Alone or in the context of his whole work, this recording expresses one of the most original musical minds of this centuries (XX and XXI). So, take your time, make sure nothing will brake your listening, and do enjoy this musical rite as a true ascension to the heights of beauty.

"One of the most staggeringly beautiful recordings ever
made on this planet. Very, very deep. A classic ECM
masterpiece from the 70's. I first bought the lp when
I was in college and spent MANY afternoons and nights
in blissful relaxation listening to this haunting work
of art. Gismonti is not only an incredible guitarist
(the first half and final section prove that), but he
is an awesome pianist as well. His composition "Tango"
in the second half with him on solo piano is breathtaking.
You close your eyes and just dream. So very beautiful.
This is NOT new age George Winston. FAR from it. What
a fantastic artist and composer Gismonti is. Check this
out. It's a rewarding experience for serious open minds
and ears. A trillion stars."
