This album is a compilation of two recordings made in 1971 and 1978, by two of the greatest classical guitarists ever to have lived, and certainly the two greatest living today. These masters have almost never collaborated, and so these recordings are particularly valuable.

The repertoire here is a beautifully chosen and varied one. It includes pieces that will be familiar to all classical guitar enthusiasts, with compositions by Carulli, Albeniz and Granados. Giuliani's "Variazioni Concertanti" is particularly wonderful, and illustrates writing for the guitar at its peak. Some more unusual choices, transcribed from various settings for guitar duet, include Debussy's beautiful "Clair de Lune" and "Reverie" on CD 1. On CD 2, Faure's ... Read More:

This album showcases Julian Bream's supreme ability to interpret the spanish classical repertoire as no-one else can. His extraordinary musical sensitivity and stunning technique allow him to bring this music alive, and to evoke the land and culture from which it came in vivid colour. The tonal range he coaxes from the instrument is incredible, and the quality of these recordings is particularly high.

The pieces attempted here are a varied and rewarding selection. A highlight for me is Granados' wonderful "Danzas Españolas Op.37 No.4". The introduction is sparse and lightly phrased, with a dancing melody and chimed counter-rhythms that build into a rolling, powerful theme, and Bream plays it superbly. Albeniz's well-known "Suite española ... Read More:

While there are some lovely pieces of music on these CDs they don't match the titles. When I bought this 2-set CD I thought that maybe I had received Vol2. or something by mistake as none of the tracks match the information on the CD insert. I decided to check by listening to the samples here on Amazon & discovered that they too are incorrect. Just to ensure I wasn't going mad I found the CD set on a US website and listened to their samples & they were correct!!! I wish someone could explain.

I am really surprised that Julian Bream's first recordings of Dowland and Bach - recorded by Westminster - have taken so long to appear on CD. They are beautiful performances and sound better than ever in this new remastering. Bream's love for this music is self-evident but he is not self-indulgent and his playing is a model of restraint and refinement. I have never heard Dowland's great 'Fantasia' sound better; the other lute pieces are, in my opinion, better played than in Bream's later RCA recordings. The Bach, especially the 'Chaconne' is equally enjoyable and the added Dowland ayres - where Bream accompanies the Golden Age Singers - are a delghtful addition to a very attractive anthology. Highly recommended.

This album is a delicious offering from one of the most underrated guitar maestros of all time. Not only does he capture the Samba-inspired passion of Villa-Lobos music (unlike Rodrigo, Villa-Lobos was an accomplished guitarist in his own right), but interprets it in a way that commands and maintains the attention.

The concerto, one of the most accessible of all guitar concertos, was originally commissioned from Villa-Lobos by Segovia - but don't hold that against it! There are some memorable passages, not to mention the moody passion in the cadenza, all played with the kind of melliflouous dynamics that are synonymous with Bream's playing.

Whilst the Etudes are more of academic interest than musical, Bream conveys a level of interpretation ... Read More:
