Before JW was born Segovia was the leading classical guitarist in Europe. I've often wondered how many other guitarists were being recorded between the wars.

www.doremi.com/segovia.html lists a whole load of guitarists re-issued in a 'Segovia and his contemporaries' series - Anido, Walker, Sainz de la Maza, Rey de la Torre plus some names I'd never heard before. I don't know what the re-masterings are like.

And for a sample go to http://www.geocities.com/fredje222000/ - R Sainz de la Maza playing Aranjuez (late 40s).

Not JW, but so much of this repertoire is music he recorded on LP.
