@NYlivinginTN Thats true, but without segovia, many of the wonders fr the guitar we have today would not be available (he transcribed many many pieces) He also helped gain the guitar a new found popularity... :)

Bach the most stupendous miracle in all music (Wagner quote). The distiller of the essence of musical craft. Wrote over a thousand perfect compositions some with 3 or more movements. So we are talking thousands of master pieces of the most complex & perfect music ever written.
Here you have to admire the way anyone can play without a note out of place in front of an audience. Incredible memory. Nice tone & playing. Well done Mr Bream.

He sure makes master Bach's music come alive and Bream is all about music.

I love how bream keeps the bass line in the lower octave in the B section. It does however make the work much more technically demandingBut it beefs it up Most guitarist play that bass line in the higher octave and it really sounds thin and weak in that section... Of course if one plays this transcription/arrangement by Bream it should be re-named Prelude, Fugue and Andante! LOL
Thanks for upload. Its GREAT!
