I love the harmonics of the guitar. Regardless of the genre - classical, jazz, pop, etc. What are your top five (or ten) acoutical guitar recordings - for sound quality and performance? You recommend them, I'll buy them.
All Julian Bream recordings on RCA LP's Performance great, sound quality medium to good. All Segovia recordings on Decca mono LP's Performance out of this world, sound quality mediocre at best, but oh, the rendering....don't know about CD remakes regarding both artists.
David Grisman "Tone Poems I"--anything on the Acoustic Disc label actually--nice recordings. Also Larry Coryell has a number of acoustic jazz discs out that are hard to find but worth the effort.
Sergio & Odair Assad play Rameau, Scarlatti, Couperin Bach. This has been in heavy rotation at my house for years. (Their sister Badi's Solo album on Chesky is good, too--great sonics.)
Eduardo Niebla & Adel Salameh, Mediterraneo. This is guitar and Oud, so maybe not your cup of tea (I love the Oud myself), but it's a terrific album.
I also have two Sharon Isbin albums I like a lot: Nightshade Rounds and Dreams of a World.
