"I hadn't heard of Raul Di Blasio until a few months ago, when I was "put on hold" and a radio station was playing "Aguas De Invierno" from his "Barroco" CD. I was captivated by the music and immediately called the station, got the info and ordered the CD, which is great. I bought his "Solo" and "20 De Coleccion" CDs recently.....of the three, "Solo" is definitely my favorite! After listening to this music, performers like Yanni and Tesh PALE by comparison....Di Blasio is a true artiste....his technique is flawless and his music is beautiful and full. (I never tire of listening to "Springtime and "Duel at Diablo".) Incidentally, everyone who's listened to my CD has ordered one for themselves....in my opinion, "Solo" is a must-have for anyone who appreciates beautiful music!!"
Absolutely breath taking, entralling!!

"I am actually transported when I listen to any of my Di Blasio CDs, especially SOLO. It is a piece of music that touches my soul. I give Di Blasio music as gifts, and the recipients ALWAYS call me to ask where I got it and are there more CDs by him. His latest, DESDE MEXICO, is incredible. I just wish he would do concerts in the East Coast, and had a fan club. I give all Di Blasio music 5 stars."
PHENOMINAL!!! GREATEST PIANO PLAYER ALIVE!!!

"Raul DiBlasio's talent is endless. This CD shows his range of talent--I especially love "Luna De Paris". Unlike many better known talents, all the music on ALL of his CDs is great. I own 8 of his CDs--and they are all great. One cannot err by purchasing his entire collection. I too cannot believe that he is not known in the United States!! I have been blessed to have had the opportunity to attend 3 of his live performances--his shows were WONDERFUL! His personality is as great as his music. He's very humble. GREAT GUY!!"
More talented than John Tesh and Vengalis combined!

"I'm just an average New Age fan and have never heard of his name or music because he's from South America. One day, when I was flipping through TV channels, I saw this guy playing a beautiful piece. I then had some trouble finding out his name, but I happened to spot out his cds when I was walking by the Latino section in a music store. This is the first time I've bought his cd, and I can honestly say that this is much better than today's bunches of crap cds by famous names. If you want music that actually has melody and not some clamor of a lot of sounds, here's the cd for you! You will love his music especially more if you are a fan of piano (which I am), but this is a marginal issue when you consider how great his music is!"
Simply great music

"Raul di Blasio's 1997 album Solo is incredible. This album ranges from slow pieces, like the beautiful, "Tiempo de Primavera", to the dance-flavored "Boheme". Di Blasio is a great pianist, and the arrangement on these songs only brings his talent out further. This is music you can relax to, or simply have on in the background.The only thing I have against this otherwise excellent CD are the cheesy liner notes. Oh well. They are good for a laugh. ;-)"
