I've owned Cafe Paradiso for about a year. I received it as a Chrismas gift last year. It was my best and most enduring gift. I loved it then, and I'm in love with it even more now.
I never write reviews, but I came back here to order 5 CafŽ Paradiso CDs to give as Christmas gifts, and I realize I have to make my feelings know about this CD.
It is absolutely beautiful, it creates such magic, such a wonderful vibe. Steve Erquiaga's brilliance as a guitarist and musician is only surpassed by his unique ability to touch you with every note he plays, he gently wraps you in his music. It's truely amazing.
If you don't have this CD, get it ! You won't be sorry, I guarantee it !

5.0 out of 5 stars great for any mood, August 22, 1999

This is my most favorite CD. I had never heard his music before I saw him play a "living room" concert for the public radio channel in Cincinnati in the fall of '98. Cafe Paradiso was given to the guests and since then it's been my first choice no matter what my mood is. I feel really lucky to have been able to see this amazing muscian play live! I am so moved every time I listen to this CD. So much so that I would love to see if he would play at my wedding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cafe Paradiso by Erquiaga, May 1, 2003

I own hundreds of guitar music tapes and CDs by as many artists. I must say that I was stunned by this arrangement of Presto (JS Bach) and consider it one of the finest performances I have ever heard. This CD is 1 of the best collections of guitar music I have even heard, I would pay $ for the second CD, if Steve were to ever produce another.
