Video Description

Julian Bream, considered by many as the greatest classic guitarist of the 20th century, tells the remarkable story of his life in music. Over three hours of material, illustrated with over one hour of complete musical performances, includes contributions from John Williams, Peter Pears, Igor Stravinsky, William Walton, George Malcolm, Richard Rodney Bennett and Ali Akbar Khan.

Julian's influence has resulted in a repertoire rich in contributions from Britten, Walton, Henze, Takemitsu, Tippett, Rawsthorne, Lennox Berkeley and countless others. He enthusiastically communicates his musical passions which are celebrated in this generously documented DVD. Highlights include Julian's coming out of retirement for a performance of Britten's Nocturnal, written for the guitarist, and an emotional return to the composer's home in Aldeburgh, and an exclusive BBC Radio 3 recording of Richard Rodney Bennett's Sonata for Solo Guitar. Previously offered as a limited edition only through the producers, Avie makes My Life in Music commercially available for the first time to the wider public.



BBC Music Magazine

An outstanding and comprehensive celebration of a great musician's art.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Life, 1 Oct 2006
By P. R. Bennett (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This DVD is just perfect, from the superb performances to the warmth and insight of the man himself. The settings - 'The Maltings' for the pieces recorded for the DVD and his house in Hardy country for the reminscences are quite beautiful. Additionally you get lots of archive footage of JB, together with a duet with John Williams and a surprise bonus - a chunk of Django Reinhardt which is very rare.
It's only recently that I've come to realise his preeminence as a guitarist, with more feel and drive than your average modern-day classical guitarists who tend to sound timid and careful in comparison. This is all apparent on the DVD. The anecdotes, from his humble beginnings to his work with Britten and Villa-Lobos are all very entertaining and enlightening. A great production. Totally recommended.
