Julian Bream was a mystic. 5:55 "We hate death, and we don't know how to deal with it." Rest In Peace Mr Bream, I've dealt with death, and I know your spirit is most definitely eternal.

The THINGS this man says...It is as he said in another documentary "i'm a musician who happens to play the guitar". Alas if every musician could perceive music in such a candid way. "Look no further, my pupil. Thou must play legatto 'cause, as the master said, you must sustain the life at each note, until its necessary death." God bless

"The pluck itself is the actual apex of the sound." - Julian Bream Just put it together with the piano and violin to understand it better, they only reach to touch the string. The piano for instance, what is that? hitting strings with little hammers? And the violin? Rubbing a string and making the sound with friction. It's weird. Although i like both instruments of course, in the guitar you pluck the string entirely, and the pluck of Julian Bream has something extraordinary, subtly extraordinary. And i don't know if this is a consequence of this but the guitar allows greater (for me) possibilities for conceptualizing the music, at least in those good hands, which are very very very few in this word, that's because it's the most difficult and complex instrument to make it ("really)" sing. But one minute of good guitar music sounds like an entire lifetime, no other instrument is able to evoke in such a way.

I am amazed by this guitar playing, because it sounds like some divine Arcadian music - Ancient Greek, Orphean. Yet, great violin music has been written (Bach, Pärt) as well as great piano music (Mozart, Beethoven). It simply takes virtuosity to understand the character of an instrument and making it sing instead of just humming, shouting, weeping. That in itself is rare because it takes many factors. I don't find Bach exceptional, nor do I find Mozart or Beethoven exceptional, but when they are, it is simply timeless. It would be ignorant for me to say this was the first time I am blown away by the sound of a guitar, but it DOES sound like what a guitar would sing if it were autonomous and I haven't heard that ever before in my life and I feel the same when it comes to Arvo Pärt and some of his violin compositions. It is timeless because the people involved understand it is not about them but the music and music is an allusion to eternity. If you want to have a feeling of what a digital instrument would sound like if it were autonomous, I suggest you check out Holly Herndon's work. She's been feeding an AI baby called Spawn and lets it perform live with a choir. Go and watch a performance if you can, cos it feels like the future.

I must admit, I have never been a great fan of the "12 Tone School". My limited musical knowledge prevents me from that experience perhaps. And yet, When I hear my inspiration, Julian Bream, "pluck" away at a few pertinent chords, I suddenly understand. Julian explains so easily, in only a few words, what has taken Philosophers centuries to express, about the mystery of life and death, and then he goes about and says the same thing without words, on his instrument, the Guitar. And then there is silence. Here he is, 4 years before his graduation into heaven, and he's still at it, still learning. An insatiable appetite for knowledge. Not to be inspired by Julian Bream, you have to be asleep. Thank you Julian.

European music made a huge mistake when they abandoned the harpsichord, for the very reason you give. In the piano, one tries to mask the fact of death by pretending that by beating the string instead of plucking it that death is somehow fooled. The harpsichord accepts the death of the note and goes on making music anyway.

Nobody wants to listen to this garbage. Someone has to say it: Bream and his followers have not evolved in over half a century. He is still commissioning pretentious trash like this. At least it was something new in the 1950s or early '60s. Today it is just conservative and outdated. Music moved on. The guitar didn't. Thanks a lot, Julian!
