Julian Bream, Andres Segovia and John Williams are my faves
Also William Carter and Göran Söllscher are worth for checking!
An additional suggestion of me :Try guitar music played by the world famous “Los Romero’s” and their interpretations of the guitar concerts
of Joaquin Rodrigo.There are three very famous ones by Rodrigo.
The most famous is the “Concierto di Aranjuez”,next followed by the
“Concierto Andaluz” and the precious “Concierto Madrigal”.Other good
classical composer’s of great guitar music aref or example, the great
italian composer Mauro Giuliani and some one at least whom you maybe will not have expected.It’s the great Niccolo Paganini!!!! What most people don’t know is that Paganini was an really advanced Guitar
player before practicing to play the violin on it’s highest virtuosity.It was
just that Paganini used his Guitar techniques to enlarge the borders of
playing the violin.the most famous and precious piece he wrote was the so called”Grand Sonata” a really unbelievable Masterpiece
especially the second movement called”Romanza”.It’s a work for guitar and violin accompaniment.There is a precious recording,published at
“Deutsche Grammophon” with Gil Shaham and Göran Söllscher,called
“Paganini for two”(Great Masterpieces for Violin and Guitar).Hope i could help you a little bit.Have a nice x-mas time.Regards from

P.S. The “Los Romero’s” arranged a lot of great concert pieces of Antonio Vivaldi for guitar and orchestra on various CD publishing’s.
