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

The Concierto de Aranjuez is a composition for classical guitar and orchestra by the Spanish composer Joaquín Rodrigo. Written in 1939, it is probably Rodrigo's best-known work, and its success established his reputation as one of the most significant Spanish composers of the twentieth century.

This video is from Julian Bream's wonderful movie called "A Musical Journey through Spain"

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.

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...

@WimGrundy VERO!!!!!

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

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

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