Julian Bream: 1975 live concert playing Weiss, Bach, Searle, Falla, and Arnold 

Julian Bream ein sehr produktiver Musiker, der ein äußerst großes Repertoire erarbeitet hat und mit keiner seiner Interpretationen enttäuscht. Ein hervorragender Künstler mit intensiver Ausstrahlung, das er auch hier mit der Live-Aufführung unter Beweis gestellt hat. Meine große Bewunderung gilt seiner Vielfältigkeit und Neugier auf alles. Seine legendäre Lauten-Interpretation sind hörenswert. Oftmals spielte er vor der Pause die Renaissance -Musik auf der Laute und im 2. Teil eines Konzertes dann mit der Konzertgitarre. Ähnlich wie Yehudi Menuhin, gesellte er sich gerne mit anderen Musikern anderer Musikrichtungen, wie der der Jazzmusiker oder mit indischer Musik. Einfach großartig!

Now that the maestro has retired from the concert stage it is a great treat to still be able to enjoy this great artist at various points in his performance life. We get a chance to taste his great colorful and musical excellence. I was at the Manhattan school of music when he gave a talk and masterclass. I was at each concert he gave over the decades here in New York during my lifetime. The most colorful playing in classical guitar history!

Oh my, this is so special, Thank you selfTaughtGirl. Its only just started and i'm crying already. A chunk of me is gone now. He'll always be Sir Julian to me, if not to the Windsors.

He is the one - he is beyond technique - he manifests the beauty of the guitar like Botticelli painted a beautiful woman - his sound is wonderful

Fantastic, spectacular! It is so nice to have Julian's recording of Five by Humphrey Searle. Many thanks for your generosity!

Deep touch, full tone, natural phrasing.

There is no words for This... Too much Beauty...🌟

[02:01] Silvio Leopold Weiss - Passacaille [14:37] Johann Sebastian Bach - Suite BWV 996 [30:02] Humphrey Searle - Five op.61 [40:00] Manuel de Falla - Homenaje "Le Tombeau de Debussy" [43:55] Manuel de Falla - Danza del molinero [47:19] Malcolm Arnold - Fantasy op.107

Wow. Just wow. Saw him in 1974 Town Hall NYC.

A hidden gem on the finest guitarist and one of the greatest musicians of the twentieth century. Also my great idol - ever since I first heard Julian Bream live in the early 1970s. Thanks for posting!

Bream was the best guitarist -- ever!

What a fantastic concert performance. The Arnold piece is a knockout (first time I've ever heard it - today!). I'm currently reading the book, A life on the Road. Well worth a look.

Wonderful Recital! Wonderful artist Julian Bream!

RIP Maestro

This is a real gift to me. Julian Bream is an amazing guitar player and this is a very rare and precious recording to me: I have the score of Searl's Five but I've never listened to any guitar player playing it! I'm so happy for this gift. Thank you!

Thanks a lot for sharing this marvelous recital by Bream! wonderful programm and finally gave me the chance of hearing Julian Bream playing Arnold`s Fantasy!, which aparently he never recorded on studio. Priceless!

Un guitariste grandiose d une grande finesse respect julian bream

Thank you very much, this is a precious and almost unknow material of Maestro Bream. His artistical skills, charisma and repertoire seems unlimited!

Grazie Maestro per la tua arte sublime ❣

This is excellent, thank you for the upload. I have listened to it many times. There seems to be something new to appreciate on each hearing, including the pieces that were in his repertoire for a long time such as the Bach and the Weiss. The Searle and Arnold are especially enjoyable.The 'Five' are very polished, almost like a studio recording for a CD. I have listened to it with the score on several occasions and hard to find any fault, just a great performance. The Fantasy is superb aswell. Bream at his best.

Simply brilliant!

Very nice! Always look forward to your recital uploads. Bream playing the Searle and Arnold - very rare - excellent. Thanks!

Amazing.

Thanks a lot! Your collection is really precious, thanks for sharing!

At his prime, without doubt the greatest classical guitarist ever. If only the younger players of today would just watch him and see how it's done. His right hand technique is perfect and that's why he was able to make such beautiful sounds. I'm not sure quality playing like his will ever be repeated. JB was self taught and worked it out for himself. Now students are being badly taught.

What a brilliant archive. Well done for recording, keeping and uploading this.

Spectacular. Thanks for sharing this wonderful concert.

A really nice channel selfTaughtGirl, one of my most favored. Thanks for doing this.

A beautiful picture of The Giant!

Wundervoll

wow!

Hermoso documento, las grabaciones live del gran maestro Julian Bream, !! Gracias por subirlo.

thanks so much for this wonderful recording!

Tone is REMARAKBLE......classic Bream.....

@selfTaughtGirl - thanks for posting this. The sound quality of concert recording aren't as good as studio recording, but you never ever get the sense of the musician or the music from those. This is really appreciated because I never heard a live recording by Mr. Bream and it is like a different universe and very personal.

Bravo

Interesante... Por otra parte, teniendo en cuenta que Arnold compuso el Concerto for guitar and chamber orchestra Op. 67, esperaba otra cosa de su Fantasy Op 107. Si Bream no la grabó en estudio, puedo imaginarme por qué.

Does anyone know which guitar Bream is playing here? I suppose it was his Romanillos from 1973, wasn't it?

Hello there, I am presenting a lecture that includes Humphrey Searle's piece 'Five.' Are you absolutely certain that this is Bream peforming the piece?

Please look up the French word for Count...I can assure you it isn't Comet. Otherwise, a wonderful treat!
