Giordano Criscenzo - John Stowell: Lament
I temi, quasi tutti illustri e ben conosciuti, con qualche escursione verso la musica brasiliana, sono esposti in modo piatto e sviluppati senza guizzi e invenzioni. Anche dal punto di vista prettamente strumentale le due chitarre suonano senza provocare alcuna emozione; la base per gli assoli viene fornita a turno da un accompagnamento prevedibile, e viene a mancare quello stimolo reciproco che dovrebbe essere il fondamento di qualsiasi duo. I due chitarristi sembrano ignorare tutto quello che è successo alla storia del loro strumento negli ultimi 40 anni, generando un disco inutile ed anacronistico. E per una volta, la durata scarsa del CD non rappresenta una nota negativa.
