there is no better then Bream...there are many engaging and talented classical guitarist but Bream puts the soul of a passionate musician in everything he plays...on top of that playing everything w/ technical brilliance and interesting showmenship...I once heard somebody say Bream is THE virtuoso of the guitar,couldnt agree more...there is NO BETTER THEN BREAM!
I have never recalled ever hearing this piece. I have always shied away from playing any Aguado. I am so pleased to have heard it first hand from Mr. Bream. Thank you Julian.
exactly, i can listen to julian all the time, his sound and tone from his fingers is amazing, been my favourite guitarist for years, shame he's getting old now- absolutely one of a kind
phrase at 3:25 is shaped so well, his expression is so good. It's sincere, it's very distracting to me when performers are over the top and dramatize every single line to the max with head bobbing, body swaying, and retarded expressions on their faces. Bream's playing is so subtle...
For all guitar lovers - I recommend Brazilian guitarists Yamandu Costa, a genius of the instrument, although he plays a very different genre (fast Brazilian music).
I agree. He is just a superb genius. I doubt that there are too many people living that could do this piece anywhere near the justice it deserves. Just faultlessly composed and genius in its execution of musicianship. Sheer beauty...
I love Julian. He is the most fantastic Musician. But I must say, watching his face when he plays can be funny... he looks like he's having a conniption trying to keep his fingers moving.
Anyone can practice 8+ hours a day and become a virtuoso with superb technique, but there are some qualities you can't cultivate or practice. Bream had those special musicality qualities that made pieces come alive.
Bream at his best. Wonderful phrasing. Flawless articulation. Lovely feel and real flare. Incredible variation in tone. Just outstanding. No other guitarist grabs my attention and keeps it like dear Mr Bream. An International Treasure.
A fantastic play and set of comments on one of the greatest pieces by Aguado. Thank you Julian Bream for your incredible playing and teaching as always. Jeff Dwarshuis - Experience Music Webpage - www.jeffdwarshuismusic.com/ Facebook Business Page - facebook.com/JeffDwarshuisGuitar
Mi primer conocimiento discografico de este exelente musico data de 1981,cuando la casa RCA (Red Seal) lanza al mercado 4 vol. con obras del romancero español. En ese entonces yo tenia la idea-falsa por supuesto-de que solo un español podria interpretar el extenso repetorio iberico. La sorpresa fue grata y persiste a la fecha,pues hoy dia es comun encontarse excelentes guitarristas de toda etnia luciendo mas que tecnica en el dominio de ese dificil instrumento.
It's all a matter of opinion I'm afraid, and thanks for sharing yours. I don't agree that Segovia was the best. Segovia did make classical guitar "respectable" and legitimized it as a classical instrument. But I don't think he was the absolute best.And I would put Bream ahead of Yepes anyday. While I agree there's some players who are better then others, at a certain point it becomes pointless to some degree to say who is the "best ever" when comparing people like Bream, Williams, and Segovia.
I am not so sure whether Bream is or not the true vision of the composer. Non Spanish guitarists have problems to express the true Spanish sound, especially playing a piece using distinguished rubatos, etc. It is the same thing for a Spanish trying to play Shakespeare.
Why do people persist with the Williams vs Bream debate, or who is the best ever classical guitarist. It's like saying Brie is better than Camembert. I like both equally well. And, yes, 'digs' is still in use! It is used thus: "Did you stay in digs whilst at University?"
The wellthiest person is not the one that the one who has more things, but the one that less needs. I can imagine that he was happy and what he needed he gets it, and almost sure that he never got hungry because of economical situations.
Bream said DIGS not dicks. Digs is a dwelling place, common usage amongst jazz musicians. In some of the You Tube videos he is using a guitar by Romanillios with the famous arches rosette developed by Romanillios. Neil Ostbeg
@TheNonOriginalSheik Not just his understanding of any individual piece of music. His understanding of his chosen instrument is simply unsurpassed by any I have ever heard. He is a genius. He is simply the very best guitarist since recorded sound was invented. Possibly there may have been better before but I doubt it.
What can I say about Julian Bream that has not been said before...well anyhow julian bream you're a treat to listen to.Thank you for the lovely music.bilstew
Bream is one of my favotrites guitar players. Maybe the number 1. He does, besides all, an extraordinary work with the "timbre" in his playing. The unique crime I heard he practise sometimes ( just sometimes, and not in this video for example ) is the noisy sound of the left hand gliding along of the strings.
He is amazing, but some of his facial expressions make him look demon possessed. Maybe that's what happens when you're in the zone. I've never even seen the zone let alone entered it.
+oldwhtman I had the pleasure of sitting less than 15 feet from Bream at a concert years ago in Albany, NY. Some of his facial expressions were a bit distracting, but it didn't matter because his playing was so incredible.
I have seen Bream in concert several times. He plays with a flair, tone and texture unequaled by any other guitarist. He plays loud in concert unlike Segovia who was difficult to hear in a concert hall. Brilliant!!
"The guitar is too woody"!? Hilarious! The next time I see Jose Romanillos I'll be sure to tell him that his guitar sounded "too woody" in the hands of the most expressive guitarist of the 20th century! Unbelievable!
Great to see that Julian Bream has music posted on you tube. I think he should have a lot more views than Hannah Montana or Britney Spears. Anyways, great tone, phrasing and emotion by Bream.
no one can express the the beauty of music like bream, and i read somewhere he plays it differently to express more aggressive in the piece, some asian lady plays this and it is just not the same
You must be ON something! Julian Bream is one of the three finest classical guitarists on planet earth, the other two being John Williams and Chris Parkening. Please limit your comments to things about which you know something!
He has the best interpretations almost all the places he played.He is a very special guitarists of all times IMO.
there is no better then Bream...there are many engaging and talented classical guitarist but Bream puts the soul of a passionate musician in everything he plays...on top of that playing everything w/ technical brilliance and interesting showmenship...I once heard somebody say Bream is THE virtuoso of the guitar,couldnt agree more...there is NO BETTER THEN BREAM!

hahahha burst out laughing when that happened
also rewound a few times to make sure I heard what I thought
best performance ever, long live julian bream !!!
It isn't really old-fashioned - it just refers to a place you stay and pay for in someone's house, rather than a hotel.
Elegant and brilliant - just wonderful!

he becomes the music he plays....magical

wt a great amazing feeling beyong reality...... deep emotions can't be reach by any player
Why, cause Bream's not Asian?
Jie's interpretation is that of a baby.
Bream's is the true vision of the composer.

A have the Guitarra series on VHS which I taped when it was shown originally on, I think, Channel 4. Excellent 8-weeks of viewing.
@moster808 very true- nobody sounds like bream or ever will
I truly enjoy breams playing, except when he pulls that ponticello crap. Thankfully not very much of it here.
I think he says "digs", actually. It's British (slightly old fashioned) slang for a place to live.
cholling please post you playing this. So we can see how "adequate" your performance is.
yeah shes basically a soulless robot. technically good but nothing compared to bream
superb feel!!!! but skipped the beautiful intro of this wonderful piece of music....
@piqueniquepants no one takes interpretation more seriously and better than Bream.
disagreed. he definitely said 'dicks'. i'm not so sure about mr Bream anymore...
I've used guitarpro! XD Until my teacher said i'd to play through notes.. ;)
How does he play that shit without even looking at the fret board? Jesus.
mimiklerine bayılıyorum Julian amcanın; 2:13' e dikkat edin...
I cant physically have Julian Bream's babies, but I'm willing to try.
No, I mean I'm just wondering if he was well-off. I'm happy for him that he did well. He's the man. True genius.
que chingon sonido, muchos cambian el sonido por tocar hechos la verga.
i heard him play a strat though a vox ac 30...what tone!!
El nivel interpretativo más alto que ha visto la humanidad.
I wish i could have seen the quarrels between Dionisio Aguado and Fernando Sor
Julian Bream, the greatest!
Julian amca çok müzikal çalıyon yaa:) greaat!!
He did use them, but indeed not later in his life due to some condition of his (arteriosclerosis I think).
Regards
I love his face. he has such great expressions =P
Practise
Its all about getting to know your instrument
Dope.
Homeboy kicks ass.
Rock that shit.
yo this guy is terrific
awsome shit man
I love his music.He plays fantastic.but when I listen to Segovia.Julian bream is a little restless than him.
@Warchild281 Thats why they called him "Sor"
flawless with beautiful rubato and expression
your quite good, how long have you been playing for?
@ me...guess thats why they called him Sor?
damn ! he speaks during the best passage !
Hahaha, that's what I heard at first!
que buenisimo
he's a bit of a comic too, isn't he?
Que lastima que el tiempo lo alcanzo...
Más claro, no se puede...
Bien dicho.
y ke eso le arruino la obra? para nada
2:28 they shared WHAT?! together??!!!! LOL
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shit !
whats your problem ???
Hey, this has nothing to do with this piece, but I'm wondering... How well-off was Bream in terms of money. Just a curious question.
le mete más punche , fantástico !
i wish i could play this!
@TheNonOriginalSheik Not just his understanding of any individual piece of music. His understanding of his chosen instrument is simply unsurpassed by any I have ever heard. He is a genius. He is simply the very best guitarist since recorded sound was invented. Possibly there may have been better before but I doubt it.
fucking hell... 'nuff said.

2:28-2:30......wait what?
He is amazing, but some of his facial expressions make him look demon possessed. Maybe that's what happens when you're in the zone. I've never even seen the zone let alone entered it.

Wow!!!!!!!!!
Guau..! Increíble técnica. Lo conocía, pero nunca lo había visto. Simplemente genial.
God, he was so good.
pero ahora si revisas los ultimos videos..a mejorado notablemente...pero bream es uno de los mejores de estos tiempos..
This must be one of the most beautiful pieces, played by the greatest master of Guitar.
They should make him Sir Julian Bream. How was his relation with segovia btw?
no one can express the the beauty of music like bream, and i read somewhere he plays it differently to express more aggressive in the piece, some asian lady plays this and it is just not the same
AMAZING
you are crazy!
Very beautiful piece. I also liked the short and to-the-point comments by Bream while the piece was playing.
Try as I may.
Julian Bream
Excellent.
Gorgeous piece, a flawless diamond in the Aguado repertoire.
You must be ON something! Julian Bream is one of the three finest classical guitarists
on planet earth, the other two being John Williams and Chris Parkening. Please limit your comments to things about which you know something!
perfect
one of the best right hand technique i´ve ever seen . Julian ur the Best!
Lie Jie who?
frig!!!!
Superb !!
Just my opinion, but I think Segovia's torch goes to Bream.
El perfecto camino de dos vías de la música.
Él disfruta al interpretar... nosotros con su interpretación!
Saludos
He IS....
3:37 hehe :)
