Download or read book Recording the Classical Guitar written by Mark Marrington and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

It was during this time that he became interested in guitar construction, and in 1959 he traveled to Spain to learn the craft.
