Rare Julian Bream Recording



This is a rare live recording of Julian Bream, from a 1968 concert in Norway. He is playing a beautiful transcription of a baroque suite by Johann Jakob Froberger. I assume he did the transcription himself, but I have never seen a published version of it.

This recording really shows all the different beautiful tones Bream could get from his instrument. I also love his articulation and rhythmic impetus in the last movement. To me, Bream has always seemed to play with more conviction than any other guitarist, and I think it can be heard especially strongly in live recordings like this one.
