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 have a number of Romeros record but don't remember the labels.
I have tended to buy the artist without emphasis on the label; even though I'm well aware of varying sound quality-and very much appreciative good recordings.

Here's one I bought recently that's very nice, "Colores del Sur, Baroque Dances for Guitar" by Enrike Solinis & Euskal Barrokensemle on Glossa.

Another I've really enjoyed is "Images of Metheny" by Jason Vieaux on Azica. All Pat Metheny tunes played on solo classical guitar. Well worth a listen.

Grisha Goryachev, "Alma Flamenca".
How about a Russian virtuoso flamenco and classical guitarist doing Spanish works? This is a well recorded, wonderful CD.

Viridian, I agree with los Romeros. I don't think it's possible to discuss great guitar playing without mentioning them. Fabulously musical Father & sons.
