Classical
Alex Masi's follows up the stunning "In the Name of Bach", his most appreciated work to date, with In The Name Of Mozart. Forget enjoying Mozart's pieces only on violin or keyboard, this CD is all guitar. This time Alex has taken on the challenge of performing the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on a Manne Semiacustica Guitar and a Farnell electric bass. On the Piano Concerto (track 4), Masi is joined by the Stuttgart Symphony Orchestra (conducted by Emil Kahn). Overall, Masi has selected upbeat composiitons which will be familiar to music fans who have a working knowledge of Mozart's output. The result: a stunning, must-have guitar album unlike anything else out there. No drums or percussion -- In The Name Of Mozart is Masi's all guitar tribute to these masterworks. Instrumental Guitar, total running time, 44:09

e`s proficient on both guitar and piano. What we dream of playing, he can play in his sleep. He has his own website, and now his debut album. The first in what will certainly be a long list. Oh, and by the way, he`s only 9! That`s not a typo. Not 29, not 19, but 9 - nine - years old.
I`ve been trying to lear Isaac Albeniz` "Asturias" for a couple of years now and thought I was getting good at it. After listening to this kid`s version of it, I won`t even attempt it again. And the guitar is his second instrument; he`s a pianist first.
This album contains 16 tracks. Six are played on the guitar and are covers of Villa-Lobos, Tarrega, Granado, Albeniz and Wyatt, while the 10 others are on piano and are all compositions.
Does one sense genius? Obviously. Not only can he play, but he can also feel his way through it. One doesn`t get the impression that this is played by a child.
Tim, my hat`s off to you. Ladies and gentlemen, get yours while it`s hot, believe me, this kid is the next Mozart. And good for us!
