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.

We need more of those these days. If they can sing too, then wow.

Mapman, I'm with you. Good manners should be cultivated in kindergarten; and like fine wine, get better with age. "What a wonderful world it would be".

Tosta, I agree. I think it takes some time and relaxation for young players to develop so they are easily recognizable. Or, is it that we need to hear them often?

Ptss,

the players of old each had a "signature sound." I don't know why, but on stringed instruments these days everyone sounds so very similar for the most part. There are a few exceptions, but it's hard to tell most of them from just a few seconds of listening.

I think the overall quality of guitars is better today, maybe becoming more similar. I find they are getting more powerful/solid- sometimes almost bigger sounding. This may make sounds more similar. What do you find?
