Under a Mediterranean sky

"Hackett has produced some fantastic classical works since leaving Genesis at the end of 1977. Under A Mediterranean Sky is a fresh take on classical music and once again demonstrates that Hackett has a great deal to say, with just his guitar. While several artists have attempted classical work and failed, Hackett succeeds because he has a deep understanding of it and an awareness of the inspiration. He was definitely inspired for Under A Mediterranean Sky, and the end result as an album for the ages".

"The nylon guitar has a tone all its own. It's not just one tone, but a range of tones that each require their own mastery. Under A Mediterranean Sky reveals the depths of Steve Hackett's talent, with a technique that few can match".

"Taking a pause from his rock albums, Steve Hackett trades in his electric guitar for his classical on this inspired travelog around the Mediterranean, making the most of the inherent, abundant inspiration as he goes. For those not in the know, Hackett is a stunning classical player whose composition skills match his technique. This blend of solo works and orchestrated ensemble pieces is a welcome start to the new year, an all-instrumental affair which will whisk you away to exotic destinations even in this era of lockdown".
