[album rate: 4 / 5]

Tracklist: 1-3. Ferdinando Carulli: 'Serenade, Op. 96' - 4. Enrique Granados: 'Danza Española, No. 6' - 5. Isaac Albeniz: 'Bajo La Palmera, Op. 232' - 6. Enrique Granados: 'Danza Española Nr. 11' - 7. Mauro Giuliani: 'Variazioni Concertanti, Op. 130' - 8. Isaac Albeniz: 'Evocación'

3rd collaboration work with Julian Bream and John Williams. Before this they released the album Julian & John (1973), which seems much alike their first co-work, Together (1972) featuring interpretations of works by Lawes, Carulli, Albéniz, and Granados, and this one really just continues the same path, now without Lawes but with Giuliani. The quality is at the same high level.

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.
