Julian Bream plays Concierto de Aranjuez by Joaquin Rodrigo (Part 2)

[Biggus63]

I think it's played a little fast, at least at the beginning where it seems to rush a bit. A slightly slower, more lilting tempo seems to suit it so much more. I love Julian Bream big time, but I really love the tempo of Paco De Lucia or Pepe Romero's version. All wonderful really, just my personal feeling.

In my mind it does not flow. Just when the woodwind get going its taken away by the guitar. Saying that he does it very well.  Good either way

[jeezee0210]

The best version of Julian Bream I heard of this concierto is the one where the orchestra was conducted by Colin Davis.

[LadyLorridaile]

Holy crap, I'm actually crying. BRAVO

[Ray0X0]

Hermosa interpretaciçon. Como siempre el maestro Bream impecable, aunque hubiera preferido un tempi algo más lento.

[CNFrostXY]

When can John Williams and John Williams play this together.... I want to see that live...

[minimal1975]

[norbertoguarinello]

[carfit1]

[WimGrundy]

Rodrigo obviously influenced Morricone!

[Numboss]

@WimGrundy Yes, I agree. I love the music of both composers.

[italocorrirossi]

@WimGrundy VERO!!!!!

[allsafe1]

Timing perfect more fluid than John Williams more feel for the piece i feel light and shade is better and feel of origin is there.

[friends4443]

This song is so beautiful. Perfect.

[luisitos281]

[Ugallardo]

@luisitos281 There are no heaven doors...that is why this is so fucking sad... :(

[avalokiteshivara]

Com o perdão da expressão... mas...

tive um orgasmo soh de ouvir!

[eschelar]

that is the most individual way I have ever heard that climactic rasgueado part played. (8:00) There is so much of Bream's character in that, it's truly stunning.

[lollo56789]

the last run down to the high note is missing

[gastonurquiza]

Julian Bream un genio de verdad che!!!!!

I LOVE Julian Bream but in all honesty, I've heard him play this piece MUCH better... The climax at 8:15 definitely was not great...

[guitarman6661000]

I agree totally. Bream is by far the guitarist I most admire, I have several recordings of him performing this, all a great deal better than this.

[guitarman6661000]

I would also like to remind everyone that we ALL give less than great performances sometimes. A shame this one had the pressure of being recorded on it!

[TheDavidgodsell]

Thanks for posting. I love Julian Bream's interpretation of Rodrigo. I think it has a very natural and authentic Spansh feel.

This entire DVD has inspired me so deeply for the past 2 or 3 years. I've seen clips from various people posting them and I finally bought the thing a few months ago. This part is my absolute favourite and I think bream does a really good job as an orchestral performer. I heard a saying once that the artist must submit his/her ego to the better cause of the band[orchestra] and Bream does that so well without sacrificing his own stamp of originality.

[onemenny]

One of the best performance out the for that piece. the movie is called "Guitarra!" and is a journey of the guitar history via Spain

[3dallan]

Very fine video and musical performance. I'd like to see the whole Spanish project.
