Graham Devine - Dowland, Britten, Rutter, Scott, Maw: British Guitar Music, Vol. 2

The iconic guitarist Julian Bream commissioned music from a number of British composers with international reputations, thus creating a whole new repertoire of guitar music. He also played an important role in the revival of interest in the Elizabethan lute, his recitals bringing Early Music to a new audience. John Dowland�s beautiful Pavan is followed by Britten�s Nocturnal after John Dowland, written for Bream and one of the most significant guitar works of the 20th century. Cyril Scott�s Sonatina, overlooked for decades, is heard here in the premiere recording of Bream�s revised edition. Volume 1 can be heard on 8.557040.
