Free Music Review: The Ultimate Guitar AND LUTE Collection, Volume 2
Hit: 4 Stars
Bream is not only one of the very finest classical guitarists of the twentieth century, but was for many years absolutely the premier lutenist in the world. And, much though I enjoy the classical guitar, I absolutely adore the lute. So I do not understand why it did not occur to RCA that it would help many of us who have been scouring the racks and listings for YEARS waiting for more of Bream's lute recordings to appear on cd to mention the word "LUTE" in large print in the title of this collection, so that they could sell more copies! Anyway, here indeed are some of the pieces I have waiting for years to see reissued, already on compact disc, and I am glad to have them! I will say, however, that I wish Bream had recorded Handel's Concerto for Lute and Harp as such, rather than adapting it as a Concerto for Two Lutes--though his dual performance is a tour de force, the interplay of the two disparate instruments (and for that matter two disparate musicians) is sorely missed. Paul O'Dette, when are you going to get around to this concerto?Free Music Review: Very Nice Bream Collection
Hit: 4 Stars
I have volumes one and two, but I prefer volume two because it contains later recordings, which are of a better sound quality than the tin-can reverb that predominates in volume one. I really like the inclusion of about a half dozen lute pieces in addition to the guitar. I wasn't a lute fan before, but after hearing Bream playing lute on this CD, I am a convert. Ditto with what one reviewer said about Sor's Andantino Grazioso--purely delightful.
Overall, this CD consists of a good variety of masterfully played music. I only wish most of Bream's recordings were recorded using later technology, which would make his playing shine even more.
Free Music Review: Not what I thought!

Well, a bit of a "anti-climax"! I was expecting something totally different. Not at all the kind of guitar music I like but will make out a great unexpected gift (hopefully). The delivery time from order to delivery was excellant, 19days - internationally!
