Wind and Wire, reviewer Bill Binkelman writes: This album is a first rate exploration of acoustic guitar instrumentals; I was consistently impressed by both ALDO's production and his winning ways with melody, song structure, and, of course, his guitar playing; I highly recommend this CD; Over the years, I've seen a lot of good-to-great talent go unrecognized, but ALDO's 'Close To You' is simply too good to be ignored.
ALDO received his classical guitar training and music degree under the direction of professor Glenn Lyons at the University of West Chester. ALDO uses a combination of classical and finger style techniques to achieve his unique guitar sound. He classifies his musical style as 'Contemporary Classical Guitar' because the music he creates departs from traditional classical guitar music; ALDO’s original style has been described by others as having the following elements:
'Mediterranean', 'Italian', 'Spanish', 'Latin', 'New Age', 'Smooth Jazz', 'Spiritual', 'Romantic', 'Relaxing', 'Passion' "/>
