RCA D2D from Japan,,solo classical guitar..

I bought a sealed one,,,of Romance de Amor by japanese guitarrist Kazuhito Yamashita....its a limited (?) edition direct to disk, recorded in an auditorium in 1978 (guitar player was only 16 at the time). I personally dont like live guitar recorded in large venues, because its hard to pickup ambient cues due to the relatively low power of the unamplified guitar...

But, anyway,,sound is excellent, playing a bit too clinical and lacking of the Segovia feel...but hey...its a young player.

What dissapointed me was that the vinyl is as thin as 3 kleenex tissues..aat least the vinyl is as quiet as a roman catacomb.

Mr. Jsujo...you are killing me, man!

Your LP finds are becoming what a picture of Hale Berry (with 3 kleenexes to cover strategic areas) looks like to a man stranded on a deserted island.

My previous offer stands...and, your absolutely right, Yamashita is not Segovia...another reason to let me have this LP as well.

But I can recommend his (Yamashita) recording of the two Castelnuovo-Tedesco guitar concertos which were issued on RCA about 10(?) years ago. I only own the cassette. If you like classical guitar music, I think you'll enjoy it. (If you find the LP of this as well, get Brinks for your home.)
