Der am 15. Juli 1933 in Battersea, London, geborene englische Klassik-Gitarrist und Lautenist Julian Bream (Bild) ist am 14. August 2020 in Donhead St Andrew, Wiltshire, gestorben. Er war einer der prägenden klassischen Gitarristen des letzten Jahrhunderts und leistete Entscheidendes zur Wertschätzung des Instruments durch Publikum und Kritik. Interessanterweise weckten am Anfang der Jazz und insbesondere Django Reinhardt Julian Breams Leidenschaft für die Gitarre.

Julian Bream, Maestro of Guitar and Lute, Dies at 87
It could be argued that he, even more than Andrés Segovia, established the guitar’s credibility as a serious solo instrument.

Music world mourns the 20th century’s outstanding master of the guitar and lute, Julian Bream
«All my technique – on the guitar, the lute, the baroque guitar… was totally homemade,» Bream said of his self-taught approach.
«I’ve never really been taught how to play these plucked instruments. Therefore, I have an ideal of sound in my head and I get as near as I can to realising that sound. So I use any stroke or method of playing that gives me satisfaction first, that also realises my ambition in matters of sound and articulation.»

Many composers worked with Bream, and among those who dedicated pieces to him were Malcolm Arnold, Richard Rodney Bennett, Benjamin Britten, Leo Brouwer, Peter Racine Fricker, Hans Werner Henze, Humphrey Searle, Toru Takemitsu, Michael Tippett, William Walton and Peter Maxwell Davies. Britten’s Nocturnal is one of the most famous pieces in the classical guitar repertoire and was written with Bream specifically in mind.[28] It is an unusual set of variations on John Dowland’s «Come, Heavy Sleep» (which is played in its original form at the close of the piece).[29]
Bream also took part in many collaborations, including work with Peter Pears on Elizabethan music for lute and voice,[30][31] and three records of guitar duets with John Williams.

Muere a los 87 años Julian Bream, una leyenda de la guitarra clásica
Tenía 87 años y resulta difícil resumir en pocas palabras su imprescindible aportación a un instrumento cuya reputación y difusión contribuyó a engrandecer de manera decisiva. Fue posiblemente, junto con Andrés Segovia, la figura más carismática e influyente que ha tenido la guitarra clásica a lo largo del siglo XX.

Pionier an der Konzertgitarre
Klassische Gitarre im Konzertsaal? Was heute eine Selbstverständlichkeit ist, galt noch im Nachkriegsengland als Kuriosum. Das zu ändern, hatte sich der Brite Julian Bream sein Leben lang zum Ziel gemacht – mit Erfolg.
