1st collaboration work with these two great classical guitarists. Julian Bream is probably the best-known English classical guitarist playing Spanish guitar and lute. John Williams (not to be confused with the American classical conductor and composer of film music) is an Australian classical guitarist and like Bream mostly known for classical pieces for Spanish guitar. I came across this album around the late 1980s and has had an ear for Bream ever since.
