Legend of the guitar

“ With Bream, the sweat was offset by the priceless currency of an indefinable, extravagant natural gift ”

‘Music has been my real solace. And that’s why I play music’. Through his final illness, Julian Bream’s daily consolation was listening to music on the radio. He delighted in making new discoveries, having his horizons extended over and again. And amid all the words that sum up the qualities which typified this unique artist, one that constantly comes to mind is his curiosity. Bream was smitten with curiosity. The impulse , if one can say this without seeming naive or simplistic, was that he simply adored music. And he never tired of exploring what it had to offer.
