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.

Tostados, thanks. I just saw the mikes hanging from the ceiling, must not have been hooked up. It was a great concert.

Ptss, I think he's a fine composer. I really like the Op. 9 Sonata in C. Sort of Beethovenian IMO. You may know he knew LVB and played cello in the premier of the 5th and 6th symphonies... Anyway, he and Sor are my favorite of the 19th-c. composers for guitar. I do need to hear more Rigondi but I've heard lots of Aguado, Carcassi and such.

Lloydc, perhaps those were recording mics.

I didn't notice them. I noticed the number of people with uncontrollable coughs and there were many. So it goes.

Yes, now that you mention it, there was a lot of coughing at that concert. Segovia did his routine of glaring at the audience until it quieted down a little.
