Best acoustical guitar - any type music


I love the harmonics of the guitar. Regardless of the genre - classical, jazz, pop, etc. What are your top five (or ten) acoutical guitar recordings - for sound quality and performance? You recommend them, I'll buy them.

"The Guitar Trio" mentioned above, by Glen, is great.

Pepe Romero doing Rodrigo's "Concerto de Aranjuez" is one of my favorites. Classical guitar and full orchestra. It will move you to tears. I sat is the first row and saw Elliot Fisk perform it. I will never forget that concert.

Sharon Isbin, with Laurindo Almeida (and a third guitarist I can't remember, maybe Larry Coryell) have a beautiful recording of "West Side Story" and throw in an incredible version of "Rhapsody In Blue".

There is a cd by an Italian guitarist named Pepino Dagostino, that reminds me of Michael Hedges. It is worth owning for his version of the classic "Walk Away Rene", sung by David Wilcox. It is the only vocal on the cd. Beautiful!

Anything by Christopher Parkening, Andres Segovia or Julian Bream, as already mentioned.
