In Reply to: Classical guitar recording.. posted by whitese on May 15, 2007 at 16:17:24:
One of the nicest classical guitar sounds I've heard is John Williams plays Barrios: From the Jungles of Paraguay, Sony 1995 CD SK 64 396. No doubt out of print by now--Amazon doesn't show it for sale. To my ears, a very beautiful and rich sound and a matching performance. Probably artificial as hell, as you'd never hear it that way in a concert hall, but what sweet sound.I also like some of the old Deutsche Grammophon Narciso Yepes recordings too.
I suppose a good question to ask is, "What is the right way for a classical guitar (or lute) to sound?" In performance, one usually hears it from some distance, but in the studio it may be close miked with reverb added. I'm also told that some of Julian Bream's recordings were overdubbed. I've heard Andres Segovia and Julian Bream in fairly large halls unmiked. It may not have sounded as good as a good recording, but part of the magic was just being there watching them play.
