Great Classical/Spanish Guitar on SACD/CD????

If it is Segovia or Christopher Parkening I would chose the CD over the other formats.

My two reference guitar CDs for performance and recording are "Sergio and Odair Assad play Rameau, Scarlatti, Couperin, Bach" on Nonesuch, and Paul Galbraith's recording of his transcriptions of the Bach Sonatas and Partitas for violin (two disk set, Delos). Both feature spectacular performances and state of the art sonics.

Chris Parkening is a great tech but in his notes there is no spirit blasts and no feeling of a real spanish guitar like you hear from cuban Emanuel Baruecco. I've got his CD btw excellent recording and he's playing Leo Brouer (famous modern cuban composer) and Hektor Villa Lobos (a glassic spanish guitar composer). He hasn't produce too much of CDs so you might spot the one you realy need from cdnow.com with probably all information possible.

I second the Assad brothers on CD for gorgeous recordings and performance. Also, you might like some of the lute recordings that are available on CD. I have recordings by Julian Bream, Paul O'Dette, and several other lutenists (whose names are not coming to me right this minute) that sound beautiful on the CDs I have (though the LPs of these recordings sound better).
