guess we can call this the second chapter of Alex's dabbling into the Classical arts since his release of "In The Name Of Bach". This 7-track CD is an acoustic-fest with some actual orchestrated parts that work really well since some of the songs are renditions of "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik", themes, allegroes, etc.. Some of these are fast or mostly intricately timed and played pieces that show Masi's easy adaptation to the craft and musicmanship of one of the genres most influential eras. Im not a huge acoustic fan but this CD caught my attention as I am a Classical fan and the way this is interpreted makes for a wholesome listening experience. Just shows his diversity even though I prefer his solo and band releases with the electric guitar.
