Wolfgang Muthspiel - Solo

Review by Anggri Nugroho

Wolfgang Muthspiel's album Solo is a captivating and introspective journey through the guitarist's vast musical imagination. The album features eleven original compositions that showcase Muthspiel's virtuosity and sensitivity as a performer.

The opening track, "Angular Blues," sets the tone for the album with its intricate fingerpicking and unexpected chord changes. From there, Muthspiel takes the listener on a journey through a variety of moods and styles, from the wistful ballad "Father and Son" to the playful and funky "Vienna Blues."

Muthspiel's playing is both technically impressive and emotionally expressive, and he uses a variety of techniques and textures to create a rich and varied sonic landscape. Highlights include the hauntingly beautiful "Ride," which features Muthspiel's delicate use of harmonics, and the energetic and upbeat "Boogaloo."
