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.

What, no mention of los Romeros, both singly and together?The Mercury recordings are quite nice, but there are some fine RCAs as well.

Thanks everyone.
On my Cd now:
David Russel. Art of the Guitar. Telarc SACD-60672.
I play it stereo.(System limitation ;).
I am hoping some of you have the record / CD you mention
and can provide Artist, album/CD name + importantly, catalog number. It makes finding the album easier, more sure. Cheers.
