The tortured artist, the virtuoso overshadowing the composer,
all of this is behind him. Now 63 years old, Al Di Meola presents
Opus, a first in many respects. Probably annoyed to be
seen as nothing else than an artificer on the guitar, the American
from Jersey City wants to remind everyone that he’s also a top-tier
composer. An ambition he combines with a new personal situation.
“This album marks a new era in my life, explains he who
topped the charts in 1980 with Friday Night in San
Francisco in a trio with his colleagues Paco de Lucia and John
McLaughlin. For the first time in my life, I have written music
being happy! Until now I’ve always been this cliché of the tortured
artist who can only write in a very tense context… But now, I’m in
a wonderful relationship with my wife, I have a baby girl and a
beautiful family that inspire me every day. I believe it shows in
my music.”
And Opus indeed exudes serenity. In the richness of its
sound, in the multiple colours of melodies, but also in the spaces
and silences he inserts in his music, Al Di Meola sculpts simple
and beautiful music, in which no filler is ever present. Smooth but
not plain, here is an album that will delight his most faithful
fans. © Clotilde Maréchal/Qobuz
