Esteban (Stephan Paul) is at his best on Duende. Despite what is said in the info for this album. It was released in 1989 NOT 1969. Anyway, this is his shining debut and by far the best recorded album he has made to date.

Duende is one of my two favorite Esteban CD's. (The other is Enter The Heart.) Esteban's exceptional skill as a guitar virtuouso and composer are amply demonstrated on this CD. A mosaic of world music, "Lotus Wind" evokes images of India, while "Duende," Romanza Andaluz," and "Valse Criollo" paint pictures of Spain. "Mesopotamia" and "River of Man" weave fascinating textures. Duende is an wonderful CD that showcases Esteban's amazing talents!

Maybe someone didn't like his music or his style.

But no doubt, Esteban (Stephen Paul) is really a man with real great guitar skill and he play with feeling. Need not to mention he's a student of Andres Segovia.

I've bought other albums but not yet arrive, can't tell you other is bad or not. But I've listen to Duende for years, it's recording and performance is WORTH buy it within 0.1s without hesistate, miss this album will be your greatest regret if you really love guitar music.
