A few Fernando Sor CDs I like
Göran Söllscher's all-Sor disc was the first I got. His interpetations are maybe cool-ish but *very* well-played, with the Fantasia Elegiaque being especially good, I think: https://www.prestomusic.com/classica...sor-fantaisies
Nicholas Goluses recorded Sor's last three works- Op. 58, 59, and the studies Op. 60 complete, on a good sounding Fleta guitar. Nice, with less "haze" in the sound than on some Naxos discs: https://www.prestomusic.com/classica...-of-the-guitar On this David Starobin disc played in period (?) style he plays two studies I really like, Op. 60/23 and Op. 6/12: https://www.prestomusic.com/classica...s-belles-pages Also, Starobin did a Sor/Coste/Regondi disc for GHA awhile ago with the best Op. 30 Fantaisie I've heard on disc- really dashing: https://www.gharecords.com/en/catalo...mantic-guitar/

I just did some listening again to the discs mentioned, and would now say
to anyone interested: get that Söllscher Sor disc. A great (I try not to over-use that word) introduction to Sor, and just topnotch music-making of his meatiest stuff. It's recorded at a low level so you have to turn it up (thankfully, the noise floor is very low, too), and it's got some filtering on top, so the sound is a little "airless". Get it anyway.. /rant over https://www.ebay.com/itm/175447081748 (no affiliation, I'm just enthused)

Thanks Carey!
Söllscher is a brilliant guitarist and musician, but I know him mostly for his Baroque work on his custom 11 string guitar, of which he is a true master. I don't recall ever hearing his Sor era works. By the looks of the cover it was probably during his early career. Thanks again for the heads up.

More good six-string Söllscher from around 1998, with a lot of favorites:
https://www.allmusic.com/album/relea...s-mr0002741235 The recording is a little high-gloss/artificial to me, but I'm being picky. Nice liner notes included.
