Maestria!

The two great masters have recorded a few albums together- late 1970s, if memory serves. All on vinyl, though possibly they may have been remastered to CD. This duet is on the "live" album, which was recorded in NY and Boston. I'm not sure the album can still be found in shops, but it is a must have for anyone who loves this kind of music. Superb performances by outstanding musicians.

A few corrections: their 2 studio albums (Together & Together Again) were recorded in '72 and '74. 'Live' was recorded in '79. All albums were initially released on CD with the same tracks and covers as the original LP's, although on 'Live' 'Oriental' was omitted, possibly because producing long CD's (>74 minutes) was a bit problematic in the early days of CD's.

[tmjcbs]

(continued) These releases are out of print and are replaced with new re-releases of Together and Together Again with material of Live as filler. However other tracks of 'Live' are now omitted on these re-releases, such as their splendid performance of Brahms' Theme and Variations (another track I uploaded). Oriental was included in this re-release, I used this to 'complete' my 'Live' CD: burning a 76,5 minute CD is of course no problem nowadays ;-)

note the song finishes on the tonic chord at 2:05 so the dancers could exchange bows and finish their dance elegantly

5 stars for Bream. Four for Williams.

[HopePoisoned]

i personally really enjoyed John Williams; I think these two are great for each other, having similar sensibilities but slightly differing sound and style, if you know what I mean

[kabivose]

so, nine stars? sounds about right!

Difficult to tell though - sound quality's not very good so maybe only five!

[thejugglenaut91]

drop it down from 10 stars to five for making every other guitarist seem infantile by being so good nhaha

[JakeTheCake93]

pavan is the genre of music

[philphie]

who's using the pavan?

[gitardave]

definitely snows a lot where these 2 are from.

sincere discipline

[GerardoHere]

the masters !

[Trimegistro]

Is anyone wiling to trade this partiture... plsss

[aelfricbetera]

quality will out--[do anything else]...

[C6H12B26]

Very good ! But the original lute duet (with for instance Julian Bream who recorded it) is even better ! Renaissance Lute is less powerful than Classical Guitar but with a good amplification in concert it is perfect. Julian Bream is still very interested in lute playing. I love both : they just are very different. I play Renaissance Lute & Classical Guitar.

Great thanks !

[Henrici22]

Yes; rendered on the guitar it has a distinctive charm all its own. Williams and Bream could play it on ukeleles, I think, and it would still sound good!

[jvz112]

Very lonely high level those two!!

[jvz112]

EEnzaam hoog niveau !!!!!!

[john477h]

[Henrici22]

The elegance of these pieces goes far beyond their simplicity.

[PedroGron77]

Five starts again:-)

[balsa76]

ascoltare due come loro suonare la chitarra è già un piacere, ma vederli rasenta l'orgasmo. grazie.

[dougbarton]

Two of the best, at their best. Excellent demonstration of precision playing.

[pazu7]

Their style were so complimentary. Great post.

[DiViDiDoS]

Precioso... Un duo irrepetible.. 2 maestros.. gracias por el post!.. una joya

[psyentist420]

the mixture of both these masters' distinct tones and phrasing makes this a great performance.

[styland]

Two masters at the top of their game!
