Of the many fine guitar records Julian Bream has made, this is one of the finest, displaying not only his extraordinary command of the instrument but also musicianship of the highest level. The subtlety and tonal variety of the playing in these 20th-century pieces is quite extraordinary, and Bream is recorded with superb realism. Presented as a celebration of the work of Andrés Segovia, this is one master guitarist’s tribute to another. David Michaels
