To this list and those whom others have named, I'd add Federico Marincola and (perhaps a bit reluctantly) Anthony Rooley. I also appreciated the supplemental nod to Julian Bream.
Of course, as implied by my parenthetical comment, "great" is a matter of opinion. It seems to me that you're actually compiling a list of lutenists with somewhat substantial or major-label recorded output.
