I know he is now in his later years but even so, it's sad to see he has declined to such a sad level. A once great man just a shambolic wreck. Tragic.
this Bream? pretty uncertain on the fretboard - and he should get his technicians to set him up instead of wandering all over the studio himself in pyjamas. disappointing
i hate people who have to write names of popular artist in the discription to get more viewers do you still belive that you will earn more good ratings with that?
@agvap read the description, it is pretty funny... and its clear from the thumbnail that its not bream so I don't know what you were expecting too see. Im sure hes not too bothered what you rate it as or he probably would have listed it with his own name. you need to chill
Whoever geminiani25 is, perhaps the guy you're saying is Julian Bream is really named Julian "Bweam" (with a w) but just has a speech impediment, so it sounded like Bream when he introduced himself! The famous Bream namesake would be at least age 70. Not bad playing, but I'm suspicious of a farce/misrepresentation-I mean,if there's another guitarist Julian Bream (whether relative of famous one or not)it would seem an already newsworthy item, or someone should now run a documentary to verify it.
But after checking the sheet music for the piece, it seems like he improvized a little on the theme, OR combined this piece with 1 or 2 another pieces of Gaspar Sanz. Either way, it sounds fantastic.
The gentleman plays the baroque guitar well and may be Julian Bream, but not he's not The Julian Bream. If there's one, why not another? There are, after all, two John Williams', both well known musicians, though only one of those two is famous for playing the classical guitar.
I'm sure they are and this guy is a different person, too. I have no idea who he is or if his name really is Julian Bream. He plays Baroque guitar well enough, though. "The" Julian Bream, the famous one, is much older and plays a 10-string classical guitar that he invented.
Just in case anyone's genuinly confused - that was Narciso Yepes! (early 1960s) OK, since I seem to be in "pedant" mode at the moment I should point out that 10 string guitars existed in the early 19th century though most had lower strings that were only playable unfretted.
By the way, I play guitar (badly) and happen to share my name with a famous guitarist. Small world!
You're right. The ten string is Yepes', not Bream's. I confused the two. That's not pedantry. As for historical guitar variations, there were very many. See "Guitar, An American Life" by Tim Brookes. He combines a story of the history of the guitar with the story of having a new custom built guitar made after his Fylde is damaged by airport baggage handlers. Me, I play guitar like a beginner since that's what I am. Later on, I will play the guitar badly ;-).
This instrument sounds like a Cuban 12-string or a Tres to me. I can almost hear the percussion. It's the paired strings doing octtaves. Brighter than modern guitar too. Interesting. If you've ever heard a guitar player who specializes in guajiro music, you know what I'm talking about. Bet their instrumetns came from this one. Love Bream. Thanks for posting.
I guess everbody needs their 5 minutes of fame even if they have to borrow it from somebody else.Nice playing all the same.Maybe you can borrow Julians white jacket next time to compliment the socks
dont force the comparison of mr.Bream and ur self...u can only loose...that being said this was nice and for the most part well played....Bream is ur mt. everest so start climbing.
I actually rather watch this than Julian Bream... the sound is so different than any normal guitar. good song too. :) who are you trying to be ne ways, Mozart? maybe one day you will get there, keep playin!
What a clown! Using the name of a virtuoso master as a leader to get an audience! Not cool! You should be ashamed of yourself. Get a new outfit as well as a new gimmick to get people to watch you.
Julian Bream plays Baroque Guitar, but not on this video. I think you should change the name of your video-it is very misleading, improper and not very funny. The playing however is quite good!
Nice sound I've just posted some of my own guitar playing on youtube unfortunatly I'm not Julian Bream but any advice and comments would be gratefully appreciated,thanks .mikegroocockguitar.
How dare you use a ledgend, like Julian Bream to pull a stunt like this....shame on you, I hope that he doesn't see it, his ears will fall off!!!!breamlute16
Hey man, very nice playing and the baroque guitar sounds really charming. But now you know that a lot of people are very touchy about using someone else's name. And any other matters touching on identity theft or plagiarism. It is not a joking matter, in the same way as joking about bombs or jihad in airport immigration is not a joking matter. You could have saved yourself a lot of trouble by using "Julian Bream WANNABE plays Baroque Guitar." I suggest you pull this off the site immediately.
Dear nlimnj, thankyou for your thought provoking comments. First of all, it is not me playing, funny how everyone assumes that. And second, I feel like leaving it at Julian - something in me is entertained by all the interesting comments. I did seriously consider changing to "Jihadist plays baroque guitar" - thanks for the inspiration.
and yes your socks somehow add to your overall effect, keep up the good work.Anyone who disrespects this guys playing is a fucking idiot.You have no idea what goes into learning to have the tone this guy does.Toe stripey socks or not.
I like your playing, very nice coming from a fellow classical guitarist and one who shares interest in period instruments and the music written , then, for them.
If he didn't portray himself as Bream, you may have had more of an open mind toward his playing. In my opinion, it is a good thing that young people are interested in period instruments ... or even just being into Renaissance and/or Baroque music with modern instrumnts.
What a fake. Awful, bad guitar playing, and awful to look at as well. I got a great idea of turning you in to in, that should be fun to see your ass sued off.
Julian Bream ? HeHehe you just fag ass with those straps and don't use the name of real classic guitar legends thats bat joke... I know you fags have a tendency to be proud of yourself. But you are just a LUST!
