  • It's the music which has been used during the end credit of "Tree of Life"... thanks for sharing it! :)

  • Well said, but I hope it is no disrespect to a great musician to give him or her a stinker of a review. I play this piece on an 1825 guitar with gut and silk (i.e. historical) stringing, using the flesh to pluck as Sor required, not the nails. It sounds OK, at least on a good day, and especially when I bring out the air, which is on the top two strings. But I'm no Bream.

  • @sor1952 dude you gotta upload a vid if you play on an 1825 guitar, plus im interested to hear how it would sound without using the nails

  • Well done. You can spell and construct a neat, almost epigrammatic reply. Keep at your studies. You will go far.

  • This is truly horrendous, and Sor, who could not bear guitarists playing with their nails, would have hated it. All the notes come out with the same weight. Bream has not thought at all about the weighting of the inner f-sharp according to whether it is the root of the dominant seventh or creating the second inversion of B minor. Sor always insisted on a guitarist thinking in a musically literate and harmonic manner. It sounds like a tin can.

  • @sor1952 Troll much?

  • @sor1952 Bream is arguably the greatest guitarist of the 20th century. Who are you again? :P

  • @MikeyIV PS. Here is a suggestion. If you want to make someone feel small, bring them hard up against a matter of fact, not a matter of opinion. The answers to the question of who I am art (1) that you have no business to ask, since these exchanges are predicated upon anonymity, and (2) that I am someone with the right to differ from you, and if necessary every other contributor to this site, in my opinions of Bream.

  • @sor1952 haha alright fair enough. I was just saying that you should give the man some respect. I'd like to hear you play this piece, it must be even MORE beautiful!! ;)

  • @sor1952 I'm not here to argue with anyone because it is absolutely pointless to fight someone via the internet, but don't you believe that it is one's artistic right to play a piece as they imaginatively "see" and hear the piece? I've always been taught that music is a form of expression, and in my experience not everyone expresses themselves the same way, hence the number of different styles and tones used.

  • I don't see the point of that intervention at all.

  • I love you Julian Bream. I will always love you, Julian Bream.

  • 平凡の非凡、という言葉がぴったりとくる演奏。何度でも聞いてみ­たくなる演奏。

  • Comment removed

  • A piece of sublime beauty and simplicity rendered by a man who is truly capable of understanding and interpreting it both in its fullness and its nuances. I would be hard-pressed to find a guitarist in any genre whose work I enjoy more than Julian Bream's.

  • Good song it´s so beautifully wodwerful

  • He reminds me of mr toad from the wind in the willows!

  • Julian Bream looks incredibly posh in his attire!

  • incredible ease..

  • makes it seem like the easiest thing in the world..

  • 「平凡の非凡」さとでも言うべきか・・・。 良い演奏だと思う。

  • the guitar cry for they old master

  • Beautiful! Does somebody know when the record was done?

  • Timeless.

  • Why cant they give it a proper name?

  • *****

    Magnificent

  • perfekt, he´s better then all on youtube

  • @juliank97

    I disagree, i was thinking about explaing myself..but since you didnt i dont rly feel the need to.... Oh man look at this i actually did explain to a certain degree, silly me.

    Bream, great player!

  • @OkInsanity julian bream was the best guitarplayer on this world, i will see you how do you play on the guitar

  • @juliank97

    lmao, your either a retard or a troll. I'm, guessing the first honestly.

    Did you even read my message???

    1st : your english is crap so you must be a retard

    2nd : who was talking about me playing on the guitar, my message didnt make any comparison between me and Julian

    3rd :Yes, i do play guitar, unlike you. And certainly not as good as Bream.

    4th : I have seen other players on his level.

    5th : Thinking someone is a good guitar player is relativ.

    6th : I'm wasting my time on you

  • Un grande....

  • This is the best performance I've ever seen. He was an amazing guitarrist...

  • The greatest song of all (besides Asturias)...BTW 8 people doesn't know to play guitar...:D

  • Fantastic music....

  • @tavimaria yes my dear?

  • Refreshing. And hear how the birds sing with you!

  • Так проходит жизнь...

  • Fabulous. Can't describe better.

  • Just sounds so distant.So sad.As if the guitar itself has given up on all life and just can not go on any further.

  • Хочется плакать...

  • @pondeflouers Я тоже :')

  • @OneShotOneBill Вы русский?

  • @pondeflouers Нет, я Финн, но я учился Русский язык. Я не говорю хорошо, но я ещё (почти) новичок :D

  • @OneShotOneBill Спасибо вам от всй души за Ваше отношение к музыке и за Ваш русский язык.

  • @pondeflouers Пожалуйста :P

  • @OneShotOneBill А какой Ваш любимый жанр, если не секрет?:)

  • @pondeflouers Классическая в основном. А Ваш?

  • @OneShotOneBill Классика, конечно, барокко, из рока - две отечественныне группы - "Краденое солнце"и "Ноль", Элвис Пресли, Шинед О'Коннор, "Битлз", ретро 40-60-х. Очень люблю национальную румынскую, югославскую и венгерскую танцевальную музыку.

  • @pondeflouers Хорошо :D И я тоже люблю Финская полька и танго (оба музыка, но тоже танцует), и все музыки аккордеоны ♥

  • @OneShotOneBill Танго обожаю. Как латиноамериканские, так и европейские. В восторге от пьес аккордеониста Василе Панделеску. Кстати, вокалист группы "Ноль"-баянист. С радостью принимаю Ваше предложение о дружбе, но у меня пока не оформлен "профиль", пишите пока на канал "Фернандо Сор":)

  • @pondeflouers Хорошо, я буду пишать здесь. Правда, Панделеску очень искусный аккордеонист! Что вы думаете о Вильё Вэстэринэн (Viljo Vesterinen) а "amarcordeon " (он пользователь здесь в Юутууб)?

  • @OneShotOneBill Не представляете, каким открытием для меня стали "Metsakukkia" и, особенно, "JA LASSE PIHLAJAMAA kulkurinkaiho 1959"! Оказывается, финская музыка сродни с русской: в ней сочетаются северная сдержанность, мягкая лирика и глубокая сердечность. Спасибо Вам огромное за Viljo Vesterinen, Да, а кто из композиторов-классиков Вам нравится больше остальных?

  • @pondeflouers Да, они оба хорошо. Народной музыки Финляндии напоминает русскую музыку, так как они были получены из того же рода строей (грустно, медленной мелодии играют в миноре). Из классических композиторов музыка я предпочитаю Баха (J. S. Bach) и П. И. Чайковского. А из "новые" музыка, которую я люблю слушать все виды традиционных песен, и я действительно не все равно, кто пишет/собирал их.

  • @OneShotOneBill У вас прекрасный вкус (это не лесть), Баха никто ещё не превзошёл, в нём есть что-то космическое. Также мне нравятся Перселл, Рамо, Куперен, Люлли, Монтеверди (они все есть на Ютубе). Послушала Amarcordeon-он просто виртуоз игры на аккордеоне. Моя знакомая является поклонницей Вилле Вало (извините, если написано с ошибкой). Вы не закачивали музыкальную школу?

  • der lauf bei 0:45 ist wunderbar erst wandelt er die moll tonika in einen septakkord geht in form einer sequenz bis zur durparalele und dannach bei 0:52 der erstaunlich schmerzhafte neapolitaner ... fabelhaft dann in den verminderten septakkord allerdings würde ich den Dv in einen D64 auflösen dann schließlich tonika

  • brillant dandy guitarist

  • I'm playing this for my guitar exam, It's a beautiful piece.

  • This is the first classical score on the guitar i ever mastered (,17 year player).It is a amazing score for a first start for fingerstyle player.

  • Very nice, I liked it. There'll be a good guitarist for lack of time, but my son is 1 years, I think so. See:

  • perfect really great

  • just excelent

  • one of my favorite studies. MelBay has an EXCELLENT book with this and a few other studies and some songs based on the style.

  • screw my electric guitar time to learn classical

  • I have to play this for my final exam ...

  • como pasan los anios

    sin decir nos adios

  • rally beutiful song

    salu2 alvaro

  • I cant find the sheet music for this can some one point me in the right direction?

  • @herobend You can find it in Frederick Noad's Solo Guitar Playing Book 1

  • Best guitar player + Best song ever = The Magic

  • Its like he is describing his own life..

  • So simple and yet so beautiful. Sor's creation and Bream's playing in perfect magical harmony.

  • ps dont use guitar pro cuz it has wront rythem values its a midi after all..

    music sheets give u a better feel for the time

  • Actually if you're good enough to play this you should be able to get the feelings for the song by ear. I'ts quite easy and good for people who can't read sheet music yet. Well i do, and it seems to work for me.

  • volume 5, opus 35, study no 22.

    or just buy the opus 35 alone its cheaper.

    orr..find it on the internet its pretty famous

  • C triste je krak

  • bravissimo :D

  • Bravo Maestro.

  • he is a master in the guitar theres no doubt about it but at the same time with the pic at the begining he was like put there to the guitar, he looks like imprisoned in that acoustic room made to play guitar.

  • in the documenary "my life with music", bream said when his father left for work he used to sneak in and play his guitar until one day he got caught, and his dad insted of getting angry..he signed him up for lessons with him self so they both learned guitar from same teacher until bream got old enough to make his own decisions...I think bream was meant for the guitar :).

  • anyone know where i can learn this song?

  • the score is on Guitar Pro.

  • page 152 of Solo Guitar Playing by Fredrick Noad

  • he can make the simplest tunes sing - simpler tunes sometimes sound so much more beautiful than complex ones

  • admire the skill but not a fan more havey metal fer me

    he is really skilled tho

  • You should try some classical stuff, I've been playin metal (guitar/bass/vocals) for ten years + . Recently I started taking some lessons and playing classical and it has improved my playing 100% in a short period of time. I have a long way to go, but its making me a much better musician in all genres (I also play jazz/classical trumpet, which is what i've had the most training with) at any rate, good luck with whatever you do and have fun <--that is the most important thing, enjoy it!

  • Magnificent

  • Sadly, in Fernando Sor's time, guitar was looked down upon as an instrument for the peasants. Wasn't taken seriously. It's amazing his music can be found, as old as it is!

    Great job Mr. Bream

  • master bream please never die please. bream forever

  • um.... WOW

  • !!!!!!!!

  • Vraiment très beau, rien à redire.

  • Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!

  • amazing... is an understatement...

    Atheer

  • He is the only one who plays it that thoughtful making one think of time passing by. I think that was what he tought playing this. - Just love it and admire him.

  • soo amazing..

  • gracias por subir esto

  • Le son est très mauvais sa gache tout

  • Everytime i play this i think of this video

  • Dear GuitarraUltima, this is not his Romanillos guitar, but an instrument Julian originally got on loan from the widow Agustin (that's right, the string maker): a 1957 Hermann Hauser II. In this day and age, when young guitarists are encouraged to demean themselves to some kind of circus acts (look how fast I can play!) Videos like these are quintessential to remind people that there exists such a thing as musical phrasing and tone production, both of which Julian is an undisputed master.

  • Even the idea of playing this song to be featured in video over a harder song is simply brilliant and extraordinary and it really shows that it's about the beauty of the notes and not the difficulty of the piece.

  • im in full agreement with the both of you, and he looks so peaceful as he played

  • I agree with you, but I like to point out not all Young guitarists demean themselves to some kind of circus acts .. have faith :D

  • @jvanbeethoven So perfectly stated. Many today, valuing speed above all, play with no expression at all. It's like listening to a midi file.

  • @jvanbeethoven

    Your opionion about "young guitarists" being "circus acts" claiming, as a sidenote, their only purpose is to be fast doesn't really have a lot of arguments. It is a fact that the young are technically often lightyears ahead of the old masters of instruments such as guitar - in every technique. However, classical guitar isn't very popular these days since the use of electric guitar and picks, and thus differs.

    Don't trump that the talent and skills of the young are nothing.

  • @Isnaard I played a cheap ibanez for two years, and had gotten ok for only two years (the little wing intro/satch boogie) and then I considered having a career in music, so I got classical guitar lessons. Years later Ive progressed nowhere near as much as I did with a pick.

    Sure, you can play a lot faster with a pick, and crak the fuzz and chorus, and throw in an autowah, and that probably sounds way cooler that Sor's pieces. But the main reason why Sor went out of style is b/c its just harder.

  • @Isnaard You have to try and look at the comment on a way that doesn´t involve EVRERYONE, because that´s impossible. Off course there is talent out there (wathever they play), but I think he is right about most of the young people beginning to play the guitar: they only want to show off as soon as possible and do so by playing as fast as they can. I hate that.

  • @HitokiriDiaz

    Well, I think the generalising here isn't very fair, nor is the statement that most young people pick up a guitar just to play fast. That's a ridiculous claim, considering you don't have any information about the feelings of the people - you don't actually know what they think when they play and practise. Actually getting to know some of these "young circus acts" might open up your mind a bit...

  • @Isnaard If you read carefully what I said, I was NOT generalising.I said it´s impossible to talk about EVERYONE, so that leaves us with the individuals I see and hear about.I don´t know why you´re assuming I don´t know any young ´circus acts´(words that I never used btw),because I myself am only 21 and actually know plenty (even some friends). That´s why I made those statements because I HAVE the information. And my mind is very open, but that doesn´t mean I have to agree with it.

  • @HitokiriDiaz "but I think he is right about most of the young people beginning to play the guitar: they only want to show off as soon as possible and do so by playing as fast as they can."

    Could you please explain how this is _not_ generalising?

  • @Isnaard Because I´m not talking about everyone, just about the exmples I have seen (plenty). If you look at the world your way, you can´t make a statement without generalising.

  • @HitokiriDiaz It is difficult, if not impossible, to discuss about almost anything without generalising. However, it's a different thing wether or not the generalisation is true.

    You've happened to come accross young guitarists with no insight in the minimalistic essentials of the guitar - i.e. playing in time, shuffling groove, dynamic range, rhytmically and thematically sound progression. That's no reason to say what I quoted from you is true; in fact, my experience differs greatly.

  • Muy lindo, me encantan todas las obras Fernando Sor.

    Saludos!

  • come sempre Julian Bream è il migliore.... e questo studio è veramnte uno dei più belli del compimento inferiore.

  • m'encanta Ferran Sor.

  • It's not the guitar, it's the man making that beautiful sound.

  • Sorry, it is both the guitar (I think it is Romanillos)and the Master playing it what makes it so sweet. I agree with you though - the Master is the greater part of it. Julian Bream is a legend equal to Segovia in promoting classical guitar but better player than Maestro Segovia.

  • im trying to learn this song on guitar but its a lot harder tahn expecyed

  • WOW AGAIN I LOVE THIS PIECE

  • the guitar sounds beautiful as if it is crying for its old master .

  • i wish i could have long nails :(

  • Very nice!

  • i think it's one of least beautifull sor's studies

  • that`s music!

  • I can write for you any sheet music

  • I need You to transcript few music from u-tube :)

    Will You do it?

  • lol, that was Julian Bream one of the biggest guitar virtuoso of all times. He really owns the guitar, that's for sure :)

  • Wonderful. You were owning that guitar!

  • Julian Bream 4ever!!!

    i play this song and i really love it!!!

  • one of the first songs i learned classical guitar wise, got to love fernando sor.

  • very good playing...

  • Close your eyes and listen to it. Feelings are transmitted through the sound of the guitar not the facial expressions or movements of the guitarist.

  • awesome!

    ★★★★★ ★★★★★

  • brilliant

  • muzisyen budur işte ...

  • Everybody loves you Julian Bream.

  • bravo

  • It is winter Brrr** !! so the next best thing to sunshine ???? I've just heard it. Beautiful, balmy, and warm.

  • Mastering the guitar all his life...

  • Simplesmente belo!

  • guitar master

  • damn, the years are showin on old Breamy

  • So emotional,and Bream playing, that is the taste of music.

  • Perfectly done. Note the deftly executed right hand fingering. Most look at the left hand. His his right hand is straight out of Sor's method. Beautiful.

  • A simple, sad and beautifull study of the greatest composer for guitar. Thank you Master Fernando Sor, for your creations.

  • that shits off the hook... touches my heart

  • Why is everyone getting older...sigh...ah well, there respect the past and embrace the new...

    Thee names wll always be remembered and deserve such respect!

    Thanks for posting it. Many thanks..

  • recall the past

  • Very nice.. very soft!

  • Ah. brilliant! I've been trying for months to play it like this, it is great to see someone get it perfect.

  • maybe it's Julian Bream?! :)

    Btw: Perfect Playing! Wao!

  • Of a great master we expect great interpretations. This is not different. Julian Bream is, really, one of the better guitar players of the last century.

    Very good.

  • beautiful .

  • It really makes me feel sort of sorrow. This video has a real smack of sadness, he has been one of the 3 greatest guitarists ever and now he looks old and tired. Bravo Maestro by giving so much to the guitar, I am sure that was the feeling Sor expected to express.

  • Great interpretation by a great artist

  • IM learning this song now

    since i havent even playeda year yet so its kinda hard.

  • the best!!!!

  • Great interpretation, I'm studying now!
