Doubtless meant as a joke but Piitsburgh's is ranked one of the top 10 in the US:

Iâve been listening to a master of guitar and lute, Julian Bream, playing the compositions of the brilliant Brazilian, Heitor Villa-Lobos - Julian Bream plays Villa-Lobos. The album is very accessible, even for non-classical ears, and wonderfully atmospheric â love what little I know of Villa-Lobosâ work.

A double CD collection called 'The Spanish Guitar' that I picked up in Spain a while ago. Released by the Naxos label. Fantastic stuff. All the classics on two discs. Worth every penny.
