"I think there is something fascinating about plucked sound. The plucked instruments - most of them, if not all - come from the east, and perhaps it's to do with eastern mysticism and religious experience, but plucked sound has a remarkable quality because the actual pluck itself is the apex of a sound and thereafter it dies. And if you are playing, say a phrase of six or seven notes, you are dealing, really, with six or seven births and six or seven deaths.
We hate death and we don't know how to deal with it. So in fact, we sustain our lives as long as possible. The excitement is also in the spaces between the notes and therein lies the poetry of plucked sound."
- Juliam Bream
What an excellent insight to what is a proper approach to music and its meaning. Thank you!
I came to the classical guitar late in life (60) and now I am trying to learn these three preludes. For inspiration I listen to as many different recordings here on TH-cam as I can - and not one of them comes close to Julian Bream - not so much for technical brilliance (a given) but really for interpretation - his playing is unbelievably evocative. Such a supreme talent - sadly missed and -(only) in my opinion - never surpassed. I am so grateful that, through mediums such as TH-cam, his talent will live on down the ages.
Best of luck, my friend 🍂
It’s true - never surpassed
Marcin Dylla Plays these amazing well.\ too. It’s fascinating to compare their readings.
God bless! This is also what put me on the track
I saw him live around 30 years ago. He played as well, or even better than you would have expected. Very loud and powerful, his guitar carried better than most I’ve ever heard and he entertained a large crowd with ease and grace.
A great artist.
Considering the fact, that he gave this concert in this church, close to where he lived in England, in preparation for a tour in the U.S.A., just to see if he was strong enough to play, after an automobile accident, where he almost completely destroyed his right elbow. He had to nearly from scratch relearn how to use his arm, and he'd been in a sling for 5 weeks up to this point. Before which, he'd only played a few minutes a day to rebuild his strength.Well, guys and gals, I'd say this was pretty damn impressive for a cripple! Julian Bream was a one of a kind human being / guitarist / musician. A very determined and disciplined person who gave his all.Thank you Julian.
I grew up watching and listening to my father play these pieces more than 45 years ago, he went to seville and watched them make his guitar by hand , it makes me very emotional still hearing these pieces
Escuchar a Villa-Lobos cuando estoy triste es no dejarme caer en una terrible depresión. uwur
Easily the most indepth, most well rounded most sublime renditions of Prelude No.1. Julian Bream the LEGEND!!!
His interpretations were & still are the benchmark for most modern classical guitarists - a truly great musician.
I definitely agree!
Julian had an excellent feeling for the music he played - his timing, phrasing and musical sensitivity makes his music so very expressive and emotionally touching.
When I listen to Villa-Lobos my soul seems to get happily empty. It's a wonderful sensation of sorrowfully understand a little bit of what life means without being able to explain it in meaningful words.
Yes, only beautiful sounds are left in this miserable and meaningless life experience.
The greatest classical guitarist ever
yes he is!
Angry segovia notices 😁
Barrios was a bit of a savage too.
Without any shadow of doubt.
Farewell Mr. Bream, may the sounds of your strings play on into eternity.
All 3 in 1 take is the most intimidating part
I feel this man is like the Jimi Hendrix of classical guitar players. You can listen to it, marvel at it but never reach it
Uma das melhores interpretações que já ouvi dos Prelúdios...sensacional! 2 grandes mestres!
Grande mesmo Julian Brean interpretando as outras de outro grande mestre Villa Lobos
Look at his fingers fly on that wide old neck!... Probably the greatest ever... A true master.
The procession of notes fall like diamonds upon a wonderful melody issues from the haze of intoxication. The depth is astounding and belies a good nature of the musician.
nº 3 0:00 nº 1 2:45 nº 2 6:34
Valeu, Armando !
Bream plays these preludes better than anyone else, in my opinion.
He played just about everything better than anyone else.
Listen Marcin Dylla!!! 😃
I like Dylla's too, but aside technicalities it becomes very personal and thus subjective. Technicalities this Mr. Bean guy kills it.
@@IassimRustefla bream not bean
@@martinevensen406 Bream, not bream, Sherlock.
Julian played all of these preludes to the composer who was critical at the meeting but later changed his mind and loved Juliens recordings of them. Well who couldn't.
I totally agree with you on every point.I’ve been listening to Bream since I was 14-I’m now 75 and he thrills me just as much now as then.Suite Compostelana is an all time favourite.I also love the interpretation by Segovia although compared technically to Jules he sounds as if he’s playing in oven gloves!!What links them however is the passion they both had for the classical guitar.Bream always said that John Williams was technically his superior.Who am I to dispute that? He should know.However Williams just doesn’t move me anything like Bream does.He and the instrument are one as is Segovia although a lesser talent.The soprano Maria Callas was the same.A flawed voice at times but the ability to convey passion unlike any other singer.The ability to evoke feelings is of course a gift.As you say TH-cam is a tremendous help. I don’t know if you’re familiar with Breams video “ Guitarra ! “ from 1984 about the history of the guitar in Spain but I recommend it highly. I’ve lived here for over 50 years and this film really gets to the heart of things.I’m pretty sure it’s available on TH-cam.
Mr. Bream is a phenomenal musician isn’t he?
have been blessed with a recording on cd for long time, Mr. Bream is perfection
The best of a generation
Yes definitely!
This what you call a true guitar hero! Bravo maestro
Has anyone a cure for a dropped jaw? Recently began learning guitar and looking for something beyond strumming. Came across this and it has left me shaken - in that nice way. A life well lived as I read this morning he’d gone to teach the angels how to play.
dewin doeth dwl I recommend you look at the you tube videos of Ana Vidovic - not only is she a truly virtuoso guitarist, she is also such a serene and beautiful player.
Brian Sulway thanks for the steer. So much talent about, a bit daunting really 😁
dewin doeth dwl If you are new at guitar, I have some advice. Learn music, don’t just try to learn songs. Learn music and how it works. Practice and study, it will pay off in the end. No rush.
Mark Hendrickson that’s good advice. I’m lucky to be coming from a woodwind background, although it’s really from the dark-side as I play tenor & baritone saxophone. All genres provided it brings pleasure & challenge in good measure. Thanks for the guidance, it needs saying.
@@dewindoethdwl2798 Give a listen to Marcyn Dylla's take on the preludes. It's just absurd.
Also Xingye Li playing VL etude 1 can crush your motivation haha
I like this expression, it's not just chop, chop, chop.....like the way it is mostly played. When it is played like this it more interesting to play and listen to.
Yes, definitely not the run of the mill mechanical string plucker that sounds like a music box. That includes some very renowned guitarists imo! Bravo Julian.
The master at work...
Playing like an angel inside a church next to a sarcophagus. It does not get more epic than this.
Bravíssimo maestro belíssima interpretação técnica impecável refinada de Manaus Amazonas Brasil.
Descanse em paz, maestro!
This is very melancholic indeed( first and second). I am Brazilian, I can tell. Although I find the third played too fast.
I can’t believe I used to know all these studies. What 30 years of not playing classical will do. Great stuff.
Lol! I resemble that remark! Back to the woodshed for me! 🤗
@@stevebrown5991 Lets get back to it boys!
Bream, el mejor.
¡Viva Villa-Lobos!
Essa interpretação do prelúdio 1 me fez soar pelos olho hahaha
Sublime; chega a arrepiar. Bravíssimo!
Although without Bream's masterful hands it would be a beautiful, but mute, ensemble of woods, nylon, glue, and shellack, I would also like to pay hommage to maestro Romanillos, who poured his soul and scholarship of guitar making into this instrument. Together with Bream's interpretation, passion, soul, and technique, Romanillos savoir-faire and skill make an invaluable contribution to this gem of a rendition of Villa-Lobos music.
Incredible performance of such beautiful pieces.
To see, and hear him play is breathtaking; he truly lived and felt every note and was a genius at phrasing. His example of Chorus By VilaLobos, should be studied by everyone.
What a guitar! What a sound!
A truly virtuoso performance. No. 2 astonishing work.
It truly is. Sublime
His interpretation of 2 especially lovely,
Bellissimo concerto.
Tantissime grazie,, Maestro. 😊
RIP!
Julian Bream plays Villa-Lobos in the Brazilian way ...
Brilliant interpretation of another Villa Lobos masterpiece.
These preludes from Villa lobos are so delightful and with Bream's interpretation are even much, much better than anyone.
#3 was too fast. Parkening better...
Who was Villa-Lobos, some kind of guitar God?
Kinda
I actually think he was a cellist but I'm not sure
@@notachaldaiou6632He played piano, guitar and cello.

He played piano, guitar and cello.

Bream was brilliant.
just one word: tremendous...
He's the man.
Best interpretation of prelude n1 by a significant margin but it's Julian Bream so it's exactly breaking news is it?
Beautiful.
好棒棒......謝謝您
There's a certain harshness to a lot of his notes, an extra sound that's not as clean as other great guitarists - but more than any other guitarist, he puts images in my head.
Wouldn’t say harsh. But definite, alive. Emotion. Not just going through the motions.
I call it his “attack” on the string. Inimitable
Unfortunately his interpretation here leaves a lot to be desired.
@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 no it doesn’t, and if you were as cultured as you pretend to be, you would have specified what exactly his interpretation “leaves to be desired” rather than simply saying “a lot”.
@@cobrastriesand7693
That's for you and I, personally, to discover.
E imaginar, que milhões de pseudo-artistas, beberam nessa fonte; e nem disseram se água era doce ou salgada.
lindo
Sensacional
What a flipping beast
Maravilloso siempre
madre mìa, que corazòn...!!!
Legal🤩🤩🤩
Nice
Magic
Gotta love those Bream facial expression and mouth movements haha
RIP
In a world of click bored click bored click bored...... he keeps me watching

So history
Genius x 2
unique J.B.
Holy shit he is flexin on no.2

They don't teach you those facial expressions in the books 😭
Breem rushed #3
Yepes plays this with more emotional depth and Bream looks like he's struggling with it.
He just had a car accident for chritssake!!!
His interpretation leaves a lot to be desired.
He needs to really lean into some of these phrases confidently, if we're to be convinced of any emotional depth of expression.
no:1 not that superb
Some execution errors and it's too fast...
Look up Tavi Jinariu playing it, just amazing 👌🏼
@@sarahwelsh8157 narcisso yepes rendition is top level by far
Hmmm........ This doesn't sound quite the same as the way I played this 'Study". You really can't "Fake" True Musicality. The thing you have to remember is that these were written as Studies !
What are you talking about? They are called preludes in the manuscript and have no resemblence of a study in composition
His interpretation here does leave a lot to be desired.
he keeps bending the notes out of tune .. what is this ?!
How do these people get famous ?!!
