Notes & Reviews:

The great English guitarist and lutenist Julian Bream celebrates his 75th birthday in 2008, looking back on a unique and innovative career that forged a place for the classical guitar in modern culture. A master of the scintillating Spanish guitar repertoire, Bream also revealed to the world the delicate beauty and sensuality of the Elizabethan lute music, as well as inspiring new music from many of the greatest composers of his time. Sting was inspired to make his best-selling disc of Elizabethan lute songs 'Songs From the Labyrinth' after he discovered them from listening to Bream's definitive recordings. For this all-new collection, Julian Bream himself has selected his favorite recordings from his acclaimed RCA Red Seal catalogue.
