Yes - Bream was/is the Master of Master Classes. His technique, flawless - and - he brings in the heart of any piece like no other.

Great video! Just stumbled on your channel and am really enjoying it!

Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying it 😄

Really glad this video of you appreciating the Breamster popped up in my feed. Have you done a video that mentions a the excruciatingly awkward Bream Stravinsky filmed encounter? I’m still getting flashbacks about it!

Bream is unsurpassed. He islikenthe analogue to. Williams' digital. Warmth, tone, depth, emotion.

the guy that gave me some guitar lessons won a scholarship with Julian Bream, of which he was shouting from the rafters about, but when he first went and played for Bream ,Bream tolled him to go and learn the scales inside out befor he plays for him again, that knocked the wind out of his sails lol

New to your channel here, & glad I found you. Ah, Bream vs Williams? It amazes me that you think Williams "has no ego". Have you heard his proclamations about how "flawed" the guitar is & how "bad" Segovia was for the music he played? (The Segovia comments finished me with Williams, as a fan) on the playing side, Williams makes mistakes, always has. He just hides them well. Also, tonally, I find Williams incredibly dull. The guitar has ONE sound, & he never varies it. This isn't helped, of course, by the Smallman guitars. (Over-priced tissue boxes lol) Bream, in contrast, produces a wealth of tone colours (like Segovia) & keeps you guessing what's next; sugary sul tasto, or piercing ponticello.

@Sorhands there's a couple of videos on KZread where he gives his opinions on "concert dress", repertoire, the sound of the guitar, Andrés Segovia etc. He's NOT shy with his opinions.

If Bream and Williams had a master class on the same day, (with TV) which one would you attend? Consider: Technique, interpretation and whether you will get destroyed publicly on national television. We will bring the popcorn.

Am I playing in them?? It would have to be bream then I could finally drop the “Julian bream DESTROYS Sor hands” vid

I've only sat in (not participated) in a couple of masterclasses--thinking of one by Jason Vieaux at the GFA convention this year. And though he made specific technical suggestions, I couldn't really hear many of the changes that made in the playing of the students. You can really hear the adjustments made by this student. Yeah, I prefer Bream's playing. I can almost imagine him turning to Williams in their recordings and saying "do it this way". I hear the critiques of Williams's playing "you really hear the composer's intent", etc. But in terms of color, of nuance, of dynamics, yeah--Bream.

We really are lucky to have these things, I kind of want to do a live stream watch party with the fugue masterclass 😂

I think what you refer to as showmanship is really a knowledge of music. Bream is also a much better musician than Williams.

I can't say whether or not this video is of good or poor quality because I couldn't get past the totally ludicrous title "Julian Bream Destroys John Williams's Masterclass" I've heard both Williams and Bream play Bach and in my opinion Julian Bream doesn't come near the warmth and technical brilliance of John Williams.
