Spanish Guitar Master
author: Robert Silverstein - 20th Century Guitar Magazine
The 2008 CD from Spanish guitar master Dan Sistos is a work of guitar art to be appreciated by Flamenco and World Beat music fans. Recorded in L.A., In The Midnight Hours features Sistos superbly recorded in the studio backed up by a full band including bass, drums, piano with several cuts adding in a full string section. While most of the cuts are deep in the modern Flamenco tradition, several others with orchestral backing veer off into a lush, atmospheric, instrumental groove blending orchestral/classical guitar based New Age. In addition to Dan’s skillful guitar playing and composing, In The Midnight Hours benefits from the inventive string and horn arrangements of Arturo Solar.

Excellent Latin Guitar CD
author: William and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team
"World" guitarist Dan Sistos' album "In the Midnight Hours" is a collection of beautiful guitar works. His unique blend of Latin, Classical and World styles take you on a journey through the ages. He is accomplished to say the least. The album opens on a high note with "La Mezquita," a high energy Flamenco number with intriguing percussion. Songs like "Nocturne" and "Song for Gloria" are beautifully haunting. The latin backing rhythm on "Carnaval en Madrid" add a nice body-moving groove to back Dan's guitar work, which is blended periodically with vocals on this track. The album wraps up with a string quartet version of "Song for Gloria," which is gorgeous. If you like great nylon guitar playing whether it be Classical or Flamenco, pick this one up.
