Julian Bream was born in London in 1933
He made his first recital appearance in 1947 and a year later made his London debut
He became prominent in Britain's musical life through his recitals, tours for the Arts Council, and television and radio appearances
Mauro Giuliani was one of several composers who succeeded in establishing the guitar concerto as an accepted musical convention
This is the first genuinely "virtuoso" concerto written for the instrument
Malcolm Arnold is a composer of pathos and deep instensity
His concertos, written mainly for virtuoso friends, includes the Guitar Concerto, written for Bream and recorded here with Arnold conducting
Fully aware that Spain is the 'spiritual' home of the guitar, Arnold has deliberately decided here to give the instrument a more universal character
He has circumvented the Spanish overtones of the instrument by subtle use of modal melodic material
