About this album

A landmark classical guitar album, Concierto De Aranjuez / Guitar Concerto pairs Joaquín Rodrigo’s celebrated work with Lennox Berkeley’s Guitar Concerto in authoritative performances by Julian Bream. Bream was one of the instrument’s great advocates, helping bring the classical guitar to a wider modern audience through his precision, tone and expressive control. Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez became one of the best-known concert works of the 20th century, while Berkeley’s concerto shows the instrument in a more contemporary, finely shaped orchestral setting. Together, the recordings underline Bream’s importance as both virtuoso and champion of new guitar repertoire.
