Book Reviews of The Art of Julian Bream
Book Review: A fine reference book on Bream's career
Summary: 4 Stars
I finished reading this book yesterday. Definitely worthwhile as a fact-book, giving full details of JB's recordings, editions, commissioned works, and a hefty sampling of his recital programmes from 1946 to 2002.
What's missing is any real sense of humanity here. There's precious little biographical information given, not much at all about Julian Bream The Person except where it intersects with his touring schedule. Virtually no objective critiquing is provided other than numerous quotations from concert/recording reviews. It's a very factual approach, useful data but not very engaging to the reader. I get the sense that Wade is unwilling to offer any sort of personal opinions here other than referencing what is on the public record from magazines, newspapers, BBC broadcasts, and similar.
So: as a reference book, five stars. As an interesting book to read, 2 stars.
Summary of The Art of Julian Bream
This is the first book to present a detailed account of the musical achievements of Julian Bream. In a wide-ranging celebration of his artistry the book offers essential perspectives on vital elements of twentieth century guitar history and reveals how Julian Bream succeeded in establishing the instrument as a uniquely expressive force on the contemporary scene. As well as his phenomenal success in inspiring composers such as Britten, Tippett, Walton, Arnold, Berkeley, Henze, Brouwer, Takemitsu, etc., to write for the guitar, Bream is also renowned as the twentieth century's greatest lutenist and a passionate advocate of Elizabethan music.Instruments & Performers Books
