Classical, Spanish & South American Guitar Jewels

I like the Guitar and find it is relatively easily reproduced with my smaller speakers so the "sound" is generally very acceptable.
I am hoping to find albums versus best of compilations(still welcome); whether on vinyl or CD. I'll start out with 2 CD's I enjoy. Easy listening.
1. Music of the Brazilian Masters, Concord Picante label from Concord Jazz. CCD-4389. Laurindo Almeida, Carlos Bosa-Lima, Charlie Byrd. It's nice to hear the different guitars,playing styles and even strings.
2. Portrait of John Williams. CBS Records Masterworks. MK 37791. John Williams.
I hope someone enjoys these and has suggestions for other treasures. More to follow.

I'm no expert, but I am thoroughly enjoying Stunz&Farah
"Primal Magic". Maybe not pure traditional Flamenco, a little mix of influences. The guitar playing has an effortless feel I find entrancing.

Just checked on the tube. The playing is very effortless sounding.
These guys are good. Thanks for sharing.

I'll second Kijanki, Sharon Isbin is about the best I've ever heard.

William Kanengiser from the LA Guitar Quartet is pretty amazing, too. On his own or with the group.

Not sure if Julian Bream got any mentions so far, but IMO he transcribes great music to the guitar about as well as anyone out there.

Lots of great choices out there...good luck.
