Rare Guitar Video: Julian Bream plays Prelude No 1 by Heitor Villa Lobos

[sugimura135]

The sound quality/mic set up is a bit dry, or perhaps its just the guitar, it sounds a bit tinny, the masterclass lesson where he plays this same piece is so much better, the tone is so rich and he completely owns it.

so bad :s

Could they fucking get on with the anti age stuff for real... seeing him this old hurts my feelings :( Bream stop aging come on... go back to your 30's!!

[JanJaapJelmer]

just when you think you mastered the piece, you come by something like this

( even though I agree it isn't Beam at his best )

[drydyboy]

I like the happy part so much ^^

I think he's just taking it a bit faster than usual, Bream is still the best! Check out my version if you like this!

Man, he is definitely past his best. He is 76 years old.

I'm sure "Hector" Villa Lobos's name is misspelled here. It's Heitor -not Hector- Villa Lobos.

Even if it is not his best performance, I am still pleased to see Bream play. Thanks for the video.

[DjangoMeetsColtrane]

i agree. i love bream to death, and he usually pours his heart into each note, but this seems a tad uninspired performance.

[NapkinQueen]

hmm...not his best performance.

[GinoTheSinner]

It's very haunting and kind of beautiful at first but once you learn this piece you get bored of it.

In this video the master is was not at the top,however great respect!

[MagicDonDino]
