Julian Bream tells his remarkable story with contributions from John Williams, Peter Pears, Igor Stravinsky, William Walton, George Malcolm, Richard Rodney Bennett, Ali Akbar Khan and The Julian Bream Consort. Illustrated with over an hour of complete musical performances.Julian Bream is considered by many as the greatest classic guitarist of the twentieth century and, as if this were not enough, he also quietly reinvented the renaissance lute and bought it to a new and stimulated audience.Written for Bream, Benjamin Britten's 'Nocturnal' Op. 70, is widely regarded... as an important centerpiece of the modern guitar repertoire and this masterpiece forms an appropriate frame for Julian's story.
