@sor1952 I'm not here to argue with anyone because it is absolutely pointless to fight someone via the internet, but don't you believe that it is one's artistic right to play a piece as they imaginatively "see" and hear the piece? I've always been taught that music is a form of expression, and in my experience not everyone expresses themselves the same way, hence the number of different styles and tones used.
Well said, but I hope it is no disrespect to a great musician to give him or her a stinker of a review. I play this piece on an 1825 guitar with gut and silk (i.e. historical) stringing, using the flesh to pluck as Sor required, not the nails. It sounds OK, at least on a good day, and especially when I bring out the air, which is on the top two strings. But I'm no Bream.
@sor1952 haha alright fair enough. I was just saying that you should give the man some respect. I'd like to hear you play this piece, it must be even MORE beautiful!! ;)
@MikeyIV PS. Here is a suggestion. If you want to make someone feel small, bring them hard up against a matter of fact, not a matter of opinion. The answers to the question of who I am art (1) that you have no business to ask, since these exchanges are predicated upon anonymity, and (2) that I am someone with the right to differ from you, and if necessary every other contributor to this site, in my opinions of Bream.
It's the music which has been used during the end credit of "Tree of Life"... thanks for sharing it! :)

I don't see the point of that intervention at all.

Well done. You can spell and construct a neat, almost epigrammatic reply. Keep at your studies. You will go far.

@sor1952 Bream is arguably the greatest guitarist of the 20th century. Who are you again? :P
