I played classical guitar from age 11 to 18, until I decided I wanted to concentrate on piano (guitar requires you to grow your nails, which comes into conflict with da 88). Personally, I found the repertoire to be incredibly limited, hence why some of the most famous pieces for guitar are trannies (Albeniz Asturius etc). I also found it hard to hear the instrument in a large concert hall, kinda like the harpsichord, so Iām not sure whether itās really a concert instrument (in largish rooms at music school it could be heard, but not in the 1500 place hall).

La Catedral by Barrios, an hommage to Bach, really exploiting the sonorities of the instrument. Generally canāt go wrong with Barrios, wrote in a very romantic idiom.
Castelnuovo-Tedescoās āEl SueƱo de la RazĆ³n Produce Monstruosā, kinda Scriabin-esque:
Unfortunately, the guitar, having limited projection (you canāt really put it in an orchestra) compared to the piano and a more āfolkā character, was largely ignored by most composers. Thus the repertoire was small for a long time (until Segovia came along and made everyone write compositions for him). To counteract this, many guitarists made arrangements of works for other instruments. Hereās my favourite such, the Bach Chaconne, which I believe works great in this instrument:
Finally, because I would probably be posting a million vids otherwise, a tru SD classic by Llobet, Variations on a theme by Sor:

Johann Kaspar Mertz basically followed the style of piano virtuosos of his time (Chopin, Liszt, Schumann), so his music has a very pianistic feel.
Thatās why I did the transcription! Beautiful piece.

I love classical guitar, but Iāve made largely the same observation as Brew. For me exploring the lute was more rewarding. In terms of āsoundā itās my favourite of all instruments, and the repertoire takes you back a few more hundred years than the piano does.
