Friday Night In San Francisco - best digital version

oregonpapa, Paco and J. Mc are better as a duo than in the trio IMO.  And of course, their individual efforts are often sublime.
I love all the Bream/Williams LPs.  There's even a live recital on youtube, FWIW. 
One of my favorite guitar recordings for performance and sound is Manuel Barrueco's second VOX LP with music of Albeniz and Granados. It can be found on CD in his VOX box "400 Years of Spanish Guitar."  It is about as good as it gets.

Van Morrison did a SF album as well.

"A Night in SF" - not a Friday night (-:

when you mention the SACD - did you compare it to the other top versions ?

Thanks for the heads up on Manuel Barrueco. I was unaware of him. I'm checking Ebay for the recording you suggested. I'm a classic guitar nut ... and love Spanish orchestral music as well. 

oregonpapa, he, Eliot Fisk and Sharon Isbin all hit the scene around the same time.  Manuel and Eliot are very different players, each with a lot to offer IMO.  Manuel is the prototype of the modern, perfect technician but very musical.  Again, that particular LP is pure gold.  A lot of jaws dropped when it came out.  And some big-name players found a new appreciation for those two composers.
