a select discography of recordings of guitar sonatas and chamber music including guitar by Ferdinand Rebay

I have not covered all of the recordings of Rebay's solo guitar sonatas and chamber music in this list but it is a fairly thorough list in terms of trying to cover the recordings of the seven solo guitar sonatas and chamber music including the guitar. Many of the releases cluster around Brilliant Classics and Naxos, which won't surprise anyone who has kept tabs on recordings of Rebay's music.  So, here we go.

Of course I have the hardbound Ediciones Eudora volume of all seven solo guitar sonatas and I've been wanting to blog through the sonatas for years.  Now that all but the second E major guitar sonata from the seven has a commercially available recording I am hoping, at some indefinite point in the future, to write about the seven guitar sonatas.  Regular readers will understand that the big Matiegka project has higher priority with this being the 250th anniversary of the Bohemian composer's baptism but I have done a fair amount of work on those sonatas in the past.  That said, I am not realizing that the 2023 project may bleed over into 2024 with the way IRL has been.  What I lack in energy and focus for Rebay does not mean I can't give you a run-down on the albums of his works that are currently available, give or take some titles that escaped my notice or that are hard to find in online searches in the United States.
