Julian Bream Masterclass 1978: Isaac Albéniz Granada & Sevilla

imagine turning the tv on and seeing this today....

Can’t even imagine seeing something like this on the BBC today

My God he is a freaking genius.

The difference between Bream/Students performance is really amazing ... what a talent ! He was playing with his soul ...every single note is perfect . Absolutely genious one of a kind ! RIP Maestro.

Maestro Bream certainly took no prisoners! It must have been bad enough to hear him playing, perfectly, something which nearly everyone struggles with, without him then minutely dissecting every tiny fault in right and left hand technique, phrasing, tempo, and balance. And, he could do all that without even looking at you, just by listening to what you were playing. And to think, his career nearly came to an abrupt end when he smashed his right elbow on a hump back bridge while traversing it in his sports car. To come back from that was incredible.

it's almost scary how well JB knows this material and how to interpret it

I see so much intellectual sophistication and at the same time the primordial cave man in beam as he dives into the levels of his musical interpretation.

Way back when the BBC was refined, educational and cultured... Rest in peace mastro.

I’m a flutist and can still glean so much from these masterclasses! Genius. ❤

Mr. Bream seems like a very, very nice and polite man. A wonderful man with a wonderful English tradition. I regret not knowing him and his works earlier in my life.

Amazing to watch maestro Bream being moved by a student’s playing.....his humility is only matched by his musicality. Thank you for posting this true gem of a true genius.

"You must charm us with the mellifluous quality of sound at this point." Words to play by.

Very instructive indeed. This masterclass shows that Julian Bream thinks/thought about the correct interpretation of literally every single note. No wonder that to this day he is the best and most melodious guitar virtuoso of them all.

Rest in peace Julian, enjoyed your work immensely

at 20:55 - Jerry «it's very difficult»... - Bream «Yeah that's life». LOL! XD

was learning granada for about half a year and i just cant explain how valuable this video of bream's masterclass is. ive learnt so much from one of the greatest guitar players ever playing one of my favourite guitar classics just by watching this from start to finish. Will treasure these rare videos for the rest of my life, even though im just 14. RIP Julian Bream, his legacy will forever live on🙏🙏

Juliam Bream is the master of sound quality. His ear for each note is so fine grain, its like his conscious receptivity grasps every sound in slow motion.

Stunning performance from the young lady .

"take your time, just take your time, just take your time... even more time than you think you should" That's right Bream. Bream never felt like teaching, but in reality i think that he really had the instinct to go straight to the problem in all the cases. That's what real teachers do. If you don't really know the problem you'll never improve.

What a teacher,40 years later is still fresh and magical.
