RCA D2D from Japan,,solo classical guitar..


I bought a sealed one,,,of Romance de Amor by japanese guitarrist Kazuhito Yamashita....its a limited (?) edition direct to disk, recorded in an auditorium in 1978 (guitar player was only 16 at the time). I personally dont like live guitar recorded in large venues, because its hard to pickup ambient cues due to the relatively low power of the unamplified guitar...

But, anyway,,sound is excellent, playing a bit too clinical and lacking of the Segovia feel...but hey...its a young player.

What dissapointed me was that the vinyl is as thin as 3 kleenex tissues..aat least the vinyl is as quiet as a roman catacomb.

Jsujo,

Segovia "feel"?? Yuck!

The guy had fingers like bannanas....an icon in the classical guitar world but he has been surpassed IMO by many.

Try David Russell....the latest big gun, and not well known yet.

Of course, there's John Williams, and then another unknown but great writer and performer Andrew York!
