It struck me that I have never heard a guitar concerto live. The recordings of guitar concertos that come to mind are pretty closely miked - what is ideal for a live performance of a guitar concerto?
Follow Ups:
A couple of videos with Miloš Karadaglić in guitar concerto recording sessions. Many microphones for the guitar, and they seem to re-record the guitar track separately.

When I've played in the Orch for Aranjuez and another Spanish Guitar Concerto,
the Guitar was Amplified.
You just can't hear it otherwise.
The Balance , even tho they are small Orchs, is difficult.
I have attended a live guitar concerto performance, under as ideal conditions as one could hope for. It was the Rodrigo Fantasia para un gentilhombre, performed in the Green Room of the San Francisco War Memorial. The room is about 60ft x 30ft. It was a small orchestra, about a dozen musicians and the guitar was unamplified. I sat in front, no more than 10ft from the soloist.
Despite the ideal conditions, whenever the orchestra came in with even a soft tutti, it would overwhelm the sound of the guitar. I think a microphone would need to be extremely close, or a pickup directly on the guitar.
