Tirami Su is a really nice listen.Track 8 "Song with a View"is awe inspiring with a very passionate guitar solo unlike most of Al's "burn up the fretboard"solos.No weak tracks and recorded and produced to be pleasing to ones ears. - cmor5 (http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=9499)

A very interesting album!
Al Di Meola conferred this album a visible experimental treatment, that combines Brazilian inspiration and his accustomed acoustic innovations all the way.
So, from this approach I must recommend you to acquire this album, because it constitutes a crucial stage in the evolution of this formidable and talented musician, who likes to bet and innovate with new musical forms, and admirable aces under the sleeve such as Corea or Metheny, for instance.
Go for this one. It will never let you down. - Hiram Gomez Pardo (Valencia, Venezuela) (Amazon.com)

Al di Meola, who in his early days sometimes sacrificed feeling for speed (he always had remarkable technique), grew and developed through the years. His final of three Manhattan releases is his finest, a sextet outing with keyboardist Kei Akagi, electric bassist Anthony Jackson, acoustic bassist Harvie Swartz, drummer Tommy Brechtlein, and his longtime percussionist, Mino Cinelu. Having grown out of his fusion roots, di Meola's interest in world music and folk music from other countries is displayed throughout this colorful set, particularly on such numbers as "Beijing Demons," "Song to the Pharoah Kings," and the exciting "Rhapsody of Fire." ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
