Alex Masi

Musician

Alex Masi is an Italian guitarist and composer known for virtuosic electric guitar work and for blending classical repertoire with rock and metal approaches.

Masi has released albums that reinterpret classical pieces for guitar; on In The Name Of Mozart one track features the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. He is publicly known as an Italian guitar virtuoso active since the 1980s.

The review praises Alex Masi's technique and melodic sense, arguing he is unfairly compared to Yngwie Malmsteen. The album features seven arrangements of Mozart pieces, with orchestral accompaniment (Vienna Symphony Orchestra) on track four. Production is noted as clear and well balanced.

For:Fans of neoclassical guitar, classical crossover listeners, admirers of virtuoso electric guitar

It's tough being a guitar virtuoso, even more so when many people who know you define you as an unnecessary clone of the much-lauded Yngwie Malmsteen, certainly talented, but still a clone.
