Julian Bream – Homage to Andres Segovia

I wanted to include some of my favourite guitar albums on my site and this Julian Bream recording could well be my favourite recording of all time.
The recording on this album are works that were inspired by Andres Segovia, or where commissioned by him. The recording of pieces by Torroba, Mompou, Falla and Turina (with the addition of Fantasia by Roberto Gerhard) are among the best I can think of. The album, which was recorded at the Wardour chapel in Dorset, represents Bream at his very best – intense, impassioned and sincere. The Jose Ramirez that Bream plays echoes like thunder through the rasguedo passages of The Miller’s Dance and sings through the dissonant beauty of the Coral in Mompou’s Suite Compostelana.
You can come across this recording now for around £5 online, and I suggest that you buy of copy. (If you don’t already have it!).
Welcome
