The cd cover caught my eye as I roamed through the cd section. I have been exploring other music interests besides Jazz and Latin. The first track "Lovers in Madrid" took me on a journey to a candlelit cafe along the banks of a river, under a midnight blue sky with stars twinkling above. I could image myself there listening and watching Armik play. I listened to the wole cd before leaving the bookstore. But vowed to come back to purchase this cd. Which I am happy, I did, it was the last copy on the shelf. I recommend anyone who is a lover of guitar, romance and serenity to pick this up.

Wonderful, beautiful mix of hot + spicy, warm + sensuous guitarra music for the ears. After a long tiring day at work, the most down-to-earth way to revitalise the battered body and soul. Armik's skillful and immaculate guitar licks is among the best there is in this crowded world of flamenco-jazz-latin-middle eastern brew.

I did not buy Armik's music in chronological order of releases - this CD is among the initial two CDs i bought (the other being "Gypsy Soul", another brilliant composition). To-date, I've collected the ENTIRE six CDs from Armik the Great. Armik's music is special, so is "Rosas Del Amor". All six albums have their own unique character and theme. This album is highly recommended. If you are new to Armik, I urge you to sample it now. You will come to the same conclusion as I have - simply irresistible. Well done! Armik.

Can we expect more the your 'ear-food' in 2002, Dear Armik ?

I did not think any human was capable of moving their fingers so insanely fast with such beauty! Armik moves effortlessy up and down the frets with an elegant flamenco artistry that has to be heard to be believed. I am in awe and you will be too

As much as I love Armik and his magnificent guitar techniques, but unfortunately, he has been recycling his melodies lately. Many of the pieces on this CD are either the exact copies of his previous works or have been modified slightly. That is a shame for such a super artist. He needs to take a break from producing a new CD every year, and create new masterpieces.
A big Armik fan,

Armik's style transcends parameters circumscribed by Spanish guitarists as he takes his music beyond the realm of imagination. He is unparalleled, unrivaled and the world's greatest guitar maven. In his sixth album, he shows us, once again, his talent and impeccable style. Five stars is a mere understatement.

Sounds very much like other albums. Same type of music just variations on melody. Pleasant to listen too but nothing new.
