From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

RE: Not quite recording but relevant to Miking

I have attended a live guitar concerto performance, under as ideal conditions as one could hope for. It was the Rodrigo Fantasia para un gentilhombre, performed in the Green Room of the San Francisco War Memorial. The room is about 60ft x 30ft. It was a small orchestra, about a dozen musicians and the guitar was unamplified. I sat in front, no more than 10ft from the soloist.

Despite the ideal conditions, whenever the orchestra came in with even a soft tutti, it would overwhelm the sound of the guitar. I think a microphone would need to be extremely close, or a pickup directly on the guitar.
