The Brazilian only release is compilation from three Al Di Meola albums - Cielo e Terra, Soaring Through a Dream, and Tirami Su. Acoustic, atmospheric album, totally different from early Al Di Meola electric fusion works. "Coral" is Keith Jarrett's composition, taken from Cielo e Terra album."Rhapsody Of Fire" and "Beijing Demons" are his earlier world fusion compositions both.

In fact , albums all is strong and representative. The only problem is very characteristic for Di Meola from that period - high technique level is combined with very cold , emotionally colourless musicianship.

In fact , this release is based on "The Best of Al Di Meola: The Manhattan Years" Blue Note album ( with different cover and songs order). This album is a part of the collection, published by the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S�o Paulo from Sep 30th, 2007 to Feb 3rd, 2008,which consisted of 20 books (which tell the story of the featured artists), plus 20 CD (re- released albums or compilations). To promote the collection release, the company developed a massive marketing campaign broadcasted by radios and TV stations.
