Julian Bream, This Is Your Life

[@jean-paul7251]

What a brilliant musician. I'm glad I was fortunate enough to meet him. Thank you julian.

[@alexpaton2818]

One of my favourite guitarists since I started playing over 50 years ago. Lovely to see the bond and warmth he and John Williams shared. Thank you very much for this. If I had been in the uk when this was on I would have seen it for sure.

[@RobDarkhalf]

I saw him live when I was a kid in our local church who had the odd gig down there. It was one of he deepest couple of hours I've sat through musically.

[@Joseph-Lau]

Thank you uploading this video which I never seen. Bream is my big admiration in my musical interpretation.

[@alanpleydell1223]

Just tremendous and tremendously moving and personal - I didn’t know of the existence of this one - thank you. The sad night his death was announced I played again his celebratory DVD My Life in Music, made in 2006 - 120 mins with a number of full performances, personal history and own critical comments on many aspects of musical periods, style etc. + 75 mins of ‘bonus features’. Highly recommended as well as this delightful piece of old-style TV.

ジリアンブリー厶は私がラジオではじめてクラシックギターを聞いた思い出の人です。たしか日本公演のライブでした。私が１４歳の時で驚きました。ラジオから流れる演奏が最高ありがとう

R.I.P Grand Master. You brought the guitar to UK

[@bartpickford1836]

Thank you so much. As a guitarist and guitar teacher, I really wanted to meet him one day. However, he exuded so much personality in interviews and his performances,so I feel that his inspiration lives on👌

[@tommihail6564]

I met Maestro Bream he was a Gentleman always giving me his time with patience..

[@janicegeorge-allen1924]

Replying to the lady from Shropshire,how kind of you to mention this,as the Farm was indelibly printed in our minds as such young children,the beautiful Horses that ploughed the fields, the deep snow. Amazing memories. Thank you .

[@JonCrowe]

It is my pleasure to bring this to your attention. Your brother has and will always be the exciting guitarist that has ever lived in my humble opinion. Julian looked so happy in this video and lovely to see. A real cheeky chappie!! As a fan it is wonderful to see some insights with the people you greatly admire. I live in Bishop's Castle (just down the road from the farm!) and went to school with Jack Hughes's granddaughter! I knew you both here in the war but I was so pleased to find out recently where! Then be told the family have the VHS recording of the evening! They were all very happy that I digitized it and I am over the moon that you have had chance to see it again also. Your brother is a huge inspiration to me, I do not play as much classical guitar as I should but I truly adore it. I play rock and blues mainly but Julian Bream is without question one of my biggest inspirations because of his virtuosic talent, drive, personality and commitment to music. My sincerest condolences. He lives on in the hearts of many. Stay safe and take every care...

[@janicegeorge-allen1924]

@@JonCrowe Many thanks John for your interesting and kind words,after a very challenging concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall,the programme was obviously very pleasing and he truly relaxed.So I am happy to have walked back into the occasion once again. I am sure that your video will be very popular. J.Regards.

Mi favorito músico clasico N.1. Que Mr. Jlian Bream.., descanse en paz.

[@chefsize]

Gosh if this isn’t the most heart-warming video.

[@peterbrenton410]

Lovely thank you. I loved his spontaneous characteristically witty, down-to-earth comment about giving him a lift etc. And his description of the weekly nail cutting ritual is hilarious 😅A great character and musician, he's an asset to music and an inspiration to guitarists, including myself.

[@edzmuda6870]

I cried after John Williams spoke.

[@SixStringSteve]

Many thanks for posting, thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Great story about how you got the VHS too. It's interesting having seen Julian Bream: My Life in Music around 30 times, to see the photos, archive film and stories recounted in a different way. All the best! from London.

[@shadowlee2479]

I didn’t know he passed away? Truly a brilliant guitarist!

[@PauloGutemberg123]

Yes, he passed away in August 14, 2020. Age 87.

[@nicoangel690]

An emotional guitarist, artist, performer....The Holy Three....Indeed !

[@brunopedros5435]

special people great artist i love the two ..

[@Za7a7aZ]

God made a mistake making our lives so short..and fysical challenges creep up on you when getting older. You just can forget it trying to master a classical guitar at the time I fell in love with the instrument at age 50. Anyways...thx mr Bream for the music..rip

[@theodoreshkodrani9450]

You do not need to master it to enjoy playing. I hope you decided to start playing.

[@robertobonomo7983]

merveilleux personnage unique en son genre et comme maître de la guitare classique je l adore

This took place on 16 January 1997, which was the 50th anniversary of his debut recital.

[@Guyhart]

Thanks for posting. I was at the concert that evening. Great to see it again.

[@michaelshark1]

I had the opportunity to see him perform in Chicago at Northwestern University. It was one of the Greatest live performances I have ever seen. Young people need to learn about him and the beautiful music he produced for the world.

ブリームさんの普通のスーツ・ネクタイ姿、貴重です。作曲家のマルコム・アーノルドさんがスーツ・ネクタイで登場しているのも、さすが紳士淑女の国だなと思いました。例えば、小澤征爾さんや武満徹さんがスーツを着たりネクタイをしているところなんて見たことありません。

Es una gran bendicion contar con tantos amigos "Nadie sabra de mi" Nadie sabra de mis actos especialmente de mis buenas acciones De mis habilidades y talentos de mis obras y trabajos De mis tristezas y mis exitos de mis alegrias y de mi llantos Mientras cuide Dios de mi mientras El este a mi lado Que importaran la gloria y la fama y de este mundo sus estatuas Si el Amor que Dios me ha dado es el mayor triunfo para mi Paz y Bien

[@owenmcgee8496]

i've a vague recollection of this programme existing on tv when i was a child but, yikes, the format...i'd forgotten...it's a bit intrusive, isn't it? is it all really a surprise to the participant? makes you wonder if you could have a line like "in 1989 you were accosted in a public house by someone who said he'd disembowel you if he ever got a chance and now, here he is!". Maybe someone should have done a comedy sketch on this show and called it "you thought you had burnt your bridges, but..." Or else my mind has temporarily gone slightly warped. Anyway, some enjoyable bits here. Bream's "my life in music" dvd is truly great. "in 1941, at the age of eight, you won a schoolyard scrap that you should have lost, and now here's...." (sorry. stop now). did the presenter think he was st. peter? stop, stop, stop...

[@MisterNiles]

I would be so annoyed if someone pulled this on me. I'd be like: "I've got a concert to do here, and like many artists I struggle with some degree of performance anxiety. I've addressed it, and I've pared it down to mere explosive diarrhea before every show. I've pooped in more venues than 99% of the people on the planet. Couldn't you have given me a heads up? Maybe I could have avoided the pooping part." True story.
