We are very sorry to learn of the death of Julian Bream - one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Julian gave his first performance at Wigmore Hall in 1951. He will be greatly missed. RIP.
Julian Bream has passed away. Words can't do justice to how highly I think of him - he was the most excitingly human of guitarists, but even that statement plays down his utterly supernatural energy. Rest in peace.
