Tosta, interesting; and understandable. I find Bream a bit too much on the cool, or uninvolved sounding, even when the playing is 'perfect?'. I much prefer Williams and Oscar. Segovia's repertoire, on the numerous albums I have often did not engage me.
I doubt I listened to a full side; yet the reverse is true of Pepe and Angel, on the albums I have. I make lists of guitar pieces I like and find the current level of newer (to me)players is quite accomplished. Mind you these new have had the benefit of excellent recordings by masters to learn from and emulate. With today's video world I expect the overall caliber of serious players to improve as well. It's hard to beat hearing and seeing technique at the same time.
