"Julian Bream's second guitar record is even more enchanting than his first." High Fidelity Magazine

"Uncommon gifts...pre-eminently a musician of taste and discrimination." Saturday Review of Literature

"This English youngster has got something very special. He sounds like -and he is - a former student of Segovia. "Former", I take it, because there is nothing more the master can teach him. Such purity of style and technique is uncommon to say the least." Hi-Fi Music at Home

"Fascinating, to say the least. His playing is distinguished by a marvelous precision, marvelous clarity and a tone as warm and sensuous as Elman's on the violin." New York Journal American
