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'm fan of modern school of classical guitar and like the following current classical artists:
Jason Vieaux
Ana Vidovic
Modern classical guitar school allowes free and comfortable placement of the right hand oppose to Segovia's school of placing it perpendicular to strings thus allowing better possibilities to get clean notes.

For latin and flamenco, I'd pick
Steve Stevens(who was performing with Billy Idol)
Gerrardo Nunez from los jovenos flamencos (sorry no spanish keyboard for the right spelling)
Gipsy Kings -- great gipsy/flamenco acoustic band
