About

Released to celebrate the 80th birthday of the charismatic British guitarist and lutenist, Julian Bream, CBE.

His virtuosic playing enraptured audiences, inspired composers and won him four Grammy Awards.

This special 2-CD collection reflects the vast variety of music that Julian Bream has championed, ranging from such popular Spanish classics to some of the forgotten Elizabethan gems he restored to circulation.

Includes his own editions and arrangements of works by Albéniz, Boccherini, Falla, Granados, Handel, Paganini and Vivaldi, as well as examples of his famous collaborations with such fellow artists as the tenor Robert Tear and actor Peggy Ashcroft.
