“But there were also the nut-cracker purists who said that my string-length was too long, the strings were too thick, and my lute too heavy, and that I shouldn’t have used metal frets on the finger board. Only tied gut could give you the proper sounds. I ask you! I mean, here I was playing music that almost no one had heard for nearly three hundred years, and suddenly out of the woodwork came all these clever-dicks who knew so much more than I did” (Julian Bream to Toni Palmer, A Life on The Road, p. 123).
He was so good and this is the proof that the sound is 99% due to the player and the rest due to guitar and strings: Bream sounds like Bream on any guitar, even if the guitar is actually a lute and the strings are double courses 😂
The greatest Lute player ever!
Nobody could or can touch him...
and never fully recognised for his
contribution to Early Music......
We will all remember him for the rest of our lives. My idol.
I've never seen such a confidant virtuoso of the lute.
Extraordinário, virtuose, excelente, etc, obrigado pelo vídeo maestro belíssima técnica.
¡The King Bream!
Good one Mr. Bream !!!
Excellent

Bream did for the Lute what Segovia did for the Guitar....
Shredder
