The classical guitar comes from a big tradition that has been developing for more than 500 years. The main part of the guitar techniques that are in use today were developed in Europe since the fifteen[th] century by the old fretted instruments, lute, vihuela, and Baroque guitar. A large repertoire is inherited by the modern guitar; music that is still relevant today from the early Renaissance to the mid 1800s. What was the relation of the old guitars with the music of their time? How can we explain the fact that the relevant composers of the nineteenth century had no interest in the guitar? The seeds for the next century.

Recording the Classical Guitar charts the evolution of classical guitar recording practice from the early twentieth century to the present day, encompassing the careers of many of the instrument’s most influential practitioners from acoustic era to the advent of the CD. A key focus is on the ways in which guitarists’ recorded repertoire programmes have shaped the identity of the instrument, particularly where national allegiances and musical aesthetics are concerned. The book also considers the ways in which changing approaches to recording practice have conditioned guitarists’ conceptions of the instrument’s ideal representation in recorded form and situates these in relation to the development of classical music recording aesthetics more generally. An important addition to the growing body of literature in the field of phonomusicology, the book will be of interest to guitarists and producers as well as students of record production and historians of classical music recording.
