Really. I think this is some of the best modern music written for the instrument. I never get sick of listening to it. Most overrated collection of noises ever written? Wow, I have the exact opposite opinion.

Calling Bream a master of guitar is similar to calling Ghandi a pretty nice guy...

@raymondjamesrivera the sea interludes by britten is brilliant music, especally the first, called "dawn". Does anybody know where or even if I can find a recording of bream playing this piece? Can't find it anywhere:(

@MrGreenbows Why don't you get off your lazy ass and find out?

[MrGreenbows]

I forget this is a guitar played by a maestro, and am lost in the sheer magic of the music. Are there any current guitarists that can do this?

Absolutly ....... music. o am glad

I need more time with this kind of music. I'm more into guys like Tarrega and Sor, but I guess some people here would find boring. Perhaps another piece by this composer that anyone can recommend?

Britten and tonality is probably something musicologists write books about, if only I were clever enough to read them. He is tonal, but he pushes tonality so far you might think it's atonal, but it isn't, the 'wrong' notes all relate to the home key, but in stranger and more beautiful ways that are quite his own. I think with Britten you have to widen your conception of tonality when you listen. He says things that are related to other things, but the relations are very strange and beautiful.

@ericmhanks I find if you listen to Britten as if he was composing using traditional tonality, which I believe he was, you get a harder kick off his musical language. Like listening to Brahms' religious music as if it were by Schutz. Britten was composing in the musical traditions he inherited, it's what he did within the traditions that makes me come. I have listened to Britten's music since my early teens and still can't get my head around the beauty of the things his music does to me.

[woofti]

I love Britten's music, he speaks to me about things no-one else does. And this passacaglia is a particularly fine example of the form.

[ZBRUNETTI]

@dunholy My gosh, yeah! Leading into the six minute mark, the beauty of the piece is unrivaled in most guitar literature.
