In reply to Doug:
I first saw Julian Bream at Sheffield City Hall in about 1962. I had a seat in the second row. He was only a few feet away. I was just a young teenager and I'd been playing classical guitar for about three years. I was completely mesmerised. It was not just his brilliant playing and interpretation but his rapport with the audience. At that time classical music recitals were often rather stuffy affairs with quite a lot of up-tight people. Julian Bream was not that way inclined at all. He engaged with the audience as though they were friends. That first recital of his that I went to made a lasting impression on me.
He was a total master of his art. Many guitarists regard him as one of the truly great interpreters of the classical guitar (although he sometimes wandered off into other genres). Of his many defining performances of particular pieces i would especially recommend you listen to his interpretation of Granada by Albeniz, it is simply sublime. It can be found on YouTube , just Google Julian Bream Granada.
He appeared to have had a good life and has left a wonderful legacy of recorded work for his many fans to enjoy.
