My wife loves Spanish Guitar, but we know little about musicians in this genre. I'd like to add some of this music to our collection and learn more about the music itself. Does anyone have recommendations for good quality Spanish Guitar recordings and/or artists?
Panderso, I have Gino D'Auri's version of Recuerdos de la Alhambra on a Universe compilation disc and I agree. Haunting and beautiful in a different way from Segovia's.
I've now had the chance to listen to several additional artists. Among those to whom I've listened, I most enjoyed John Williams (El Diablo Suelto and Spanish Guitar Music), Jesse Cook (Vertigo), and Jason Vieaux (Guitar Recital). Vieaux is particularly interesting with some unusual melodies. My wife finds John Williams music to be fun and energetic.
John, it seems you've found some great music and have begun a journey of great enjoyment. If no one has mentioned Sabicas yet, make sure to sample some of his stylings along the way. Have fun!
