Julian Bream was my guitar hero from the 1960s when I first started learning to play the classical guitar. He was always the best in my view and I was fortunate to see him perform live. RIP dear maestro you will never be forgotten!

RIP dear maestro. And thank you.

Retro to the max. Medievilly awesome with authentic birdsong by Julian? World Of Wonder!

He is playing a musical language that even the birds in the background seem to appreciate.

Julian is the best of the best

Julian Bream is to be thanked for introducing repertoire of vihuela to aficionados of classical guitar.

He's playing the Spanish 'Vihuela', the Renaissance 'parent' of the guitar...it has double-string courses, sounds like lute/guitar. The tune, Fantasy 13, is from Luis Milan's famous 'printed' songbook, 'El Maestro' (1536)...an early product of the then 'new' printing press!

***** Estoy de acuerdo, la tecnica de la mano derecha no es la correcta, pero no hay que sacar de contexto su interpretación, pues el maestro Bream no esta especializado el la vihuela por el contrario la guitarra y el laúd son sus fuertes; esta interpretación forma parte de un documental sobre la historia de la guitarra desde la vihuela hasta la guitarra de concierto moderna, las piezas vihuelisticas que interpreta en dicho documental no pretenden ser las mejores versiones sino simplemente mostrar los "antecedentes" historicos de la guitarra.

@Freakfolker I believe you're right. Thanks for the info!

Gents, there has never been only one right way to play any instrument. I like Bream's 'nailey' way of playing very much. richardsweeney.com/the-best-way-of-play/

Well. Mr. Bream does, what most guitarists can only dream of - he makes the instrument sound like an ensemble.

Modern Mexican Mariachi bands have an instrument called 'vihuela', related to the older instrument, but tuned, played differently...

fantasia XXII. fantasia XXIII = pavana I

Actually, Fantasia XXIII is one thing and Pavana I is another eventhough the Pavana comes after Fantasia XXII. Still, this is nº 22

Su técnica es claramente la de la guitarra moderna. El resultado musical, bueno

It is clearly a baroque guitar but he has strung it oddly I think. It does not have an E, and also it has six courses all stings paired like a twelve string. I'm still a bit of a novice, so can anyone shine a light on this for me?

He is playing vihuela. Listen: kzread.info/dash/bejne/moqG17WQprmfg9o.html kzread.info/head/PLmIvXzulbRKtLLewVR9LF7NN05zGckrUD kzread.info/dash/bejne/npOJ0aejZ5WZftI.html

It is not a baroque guitar.It is a vihuela,an instrument much closer to the lute than a classical guitar,although Mr.Bream plays it as though it were one.His performance was beautiful,but not authentic according existing historical records.The old way was quite different,but no less beautiful.Beauty need not require power!

This modern guitar technique distorts the softer and more delicate sound of the vihuela

This is not modern level. It's virtuoso level. A level you will never understand and never reach.

Dear Romulo, the main problem is the doubled string for the chanterelle I think ... Julian Bream, it was, above good music, the " Grand Art ". He did not appreciate much the vihuela because his chanterelle had double strings ... His lutes were not like that ... they sounded good ! My vihuela has a single string as chanterelle ...

he is playing this instrument with nails like a guitar, virtuoso but terrible.
