This is what made Julian a "One of a Kind" musician. He just kept learning. He studied and studied. His was the search for knowledge. Thank you Julian! Thank you Paco! When your heart is open, there is nothing to fear.
Yet another reason to celebrate Bream’s extraordinary open mindedness, here exemplified by his receptive attitude toward flamenco, a style of playing inscrutably scoffed at by many of his classical predecessors. May we all learn from Julian Bream. RIP.
One of the best pieces of video documentation I've had the Great plays to witness.... Thank Goodness programs like this were ever made at all! Thankyou so very much for posting 💎🙏🕊️🎶
This is amazing. To see this a few days after the passing of the great Maestro Julian Bream.. Paco Pena shows the depth and beauty of his playing. He brought Flamenco to the UK, to Holland and other destinations.. Julian somehow asks the perfect questions and shows the great meeting point between classical and flamenco.. Que bueno.. verlo pocos dias despues del fallecimiento del maestro Julian.. sus preguntas son perfectas.. y demuestran su respecto para el flamenco y para Paco, uno de los mas grandes de todos los tiempos. Gracias por compartir.
que Bonit ver la umildad De julian Bream eschuchando Al Maestro Pena los dos grandes comparten y asi hay que ser hay que compartir los conocimientos la dos tradiciones clasica y flam se pueden desarrollar mutuamente y crear algo nuevo
Just by watching this expert feels like the message of Flamenco is the same way of that when you play Blues. Sad, crying, and always it has a sad ending story behind it.
Que barbaro! That guy can play! Every classical guitarist should delve into flamenco playing a bit. Our style owes an enormous debt to it. You hear it most prominently in pieces like Leyendas and Recuerdos De La Alhambra. Lots of the terms are even from Flamenco. Hearing Paco rekindles my guitar fever. I think I'll get my instrument out now and play a bit. Thanks for posting. Dos músicos extraordinarios, en verdad que sí.
It´s quite interesting that the song at minute 6 had changed as it did in Mexico. It even passed from minor to major. I recommend you to listen the mexican version.
He very definitely is. He is about the nicest guy one can meet. And whatever he plays comes straight out of the heart! A very genuine person. No artifice whatsoever!
I really enjoyed this clip . . . I only wish we could see more like it and wish they were available on DVD; nonetheless, like many of Julian Breams videos, I would love to have them. Just great stuff!
It is from the Julian Bream DVD," !Guitarra! a musical journey through spain." Jou should buy it it is a great DVD! But this is the only flamenco in it. the rest is bream only.
Ahhh, haven't seen this since around 1988. I borrowed the whole tape series from my local library and was just entranced. The company that distributes the tapes charged a heavy price. Hopefully this series is on DVD and much cheaper.Bream seems like a very nice and fun guy.
You have intrigued me. I have never heard the original piano version of the piece. I think I'll seek it out and give it a listen. If you're right, this proves my pont all the more. An originally nonflamenco-flavored Spanish piano piece acquires that flavor when arranged for guitar. Fascinating. this isn't the case with Scarlati's pieces when they're arranged for guitar.
@daletmiller somewhere there is a clip of Paco Peña saying that Bream and especially Williams understood the rhythms of Spanish music better than all the other classical players.
@abby161919 I think it is because the rhythm's are more complex and the techniques are intense for the right hand but I'm not forgetting that classical music has to be played "just so" or its wrong while in flamenco it has a more freedom for random improvisation. Just my opinion.
@mar1gangster - Hi mate, its actually a Solea that speeds up at the end to be a buleria (in the aire of solea). Count the rythm and look at the chords Paco is playing plus check out his solea a Cordoba here on CZcams (Paco Peña - Solea De Córdoba) hope this helps :)
found it De la Sierra Morena, Cielito lindo, vienen bajando Un par de ojitos negros, Cielito lindo, de contrabando Although he left out the Cielito lindo part Beautiful
No, but even the piano piece was inspired by the guitar Albeniz must have been familiar with hearing. If you wish to be more accurate, how is Turina's sonata. You can especially hear the flamenco influence in the third movement. Leyenda was just the first thing that popped into my head and the arrangement for guitar most definitely has a strong flamenco influence.
Hi Caradub, the song is in the "Serranas" style (a "palo flamenco"). Here are two more examples of that style: - Curro de Utrera y Luis Calderito - Liviana, Serrana y Cambio Seguiriyas - Antonio Mairena & Guitarra: Melchor de Marchena. (both can be searched on youtube) Paco Peña only performed a few words, but in such a deep and lovely way. I would also appreciate if someone could share the transcript of the video.
It was made in the 1980s, I believe - maybe 1984. Bream wore some curious stuff, Paco's hairstyle has remained more or less the same, but their playing makes up for it, don't you think?
Bobby Juncosa It's called "El Jaleo" by John Singer Sargeant. It hangs in the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum in Boston, Massachusetts. It is enormous, almost like a mural. I hope you get a chance to see it!!
I totally agree that the arrangement for guitar has a flamenco feel to it, however I just don't hear it so much in the original piano piece. I'm not denying that flamenco has had an influence on classical guitar though.
this DVD is great, i highly recommend it. please, i want to know the name of the song played at 2:00 and the one at 2:47 ? those melodies are amazing, but i have no idea how to find them. ¿como se llama lo que toca Paco en 2:00 y en 2:47 ? porfavor, cualquier dato sirve.
Sorry but I have just seen your comment. Those are just typical parts of Soleá, one of the basic flamenco palos (forms). Actually you can probably find the second part in Paco Peña's "Santuario", from his flamenco book "Toques flamencos"
How do you reach that conclusion? He doesn't seem at all rude. He admires Paco's playing, respects (although possibly doesn't "get") flamenco, acknowledges his own shortcomings, ...
SERRANA....the song form...not the lyric. Don't confuse for some Granainas that use that lyric often in the title. Serrana has the rhythm of Siguiriyas but it's own special melody.
I like Bream but at 1:20 he interprets the chord incorrectly. It's actually a *flat* 9 that is used in flamenco, E7b9 for example. Here Julian plays E7+9.
It nice all those flips and tricks and Paco is probably the best around doing it. One should probably not compare Bream with Paco but i think Bream is modest here.
There is no mexican version...it is called Serrana....from the Sierra region of spain. The orginal movie showed the cantaor singing it, is quite beautiful....but it got cut out of this youtube clip by whoever loaded it. But no way is is mexican sorrry.
He refers to the chord Paco always lands on, E major, but it is often played with an F natural....the flat 9. So to the western ear that is the "dominant 9th" in key of A minor. But not always the 7th is included. This is because....actually...it is not used as dom. 9....to flamenco players it is TONIC. It is tricky stuff for western ears.
@@MissBlennerhassett876 I'm Spanish. Spain is European. What he means is that the harmony is treated in Flamenco differently to how is treated in Classical Harmony. He is equating western ears with ears educated in the tradition of the harmony derived from the classical period in Europe. Basically based in the V-I cadence. Flamenco adds another cadence II-I in a tonalcized phrygian mode. In Solea, for example, that I is E7b9 and II is F. F is acting as a dominant but it is not in its "shape". E7b9 is a dominant in shape but it is not in function. It is a the tonic. In classical music this makes no sense.
@@jorpese1 Well there we go. It has nothing to do with being Western or European. It's an idiosyncratic thing that doesn't require putting an entire hemisphere down ffs

This is what made Julian a "One of a Kind" musician. He just kept learning. He studied and studied. His was the search for knowledge. Thank you Julian! Thank you Paco! When your heart is open, there is nothing to fear.
Had to revisit this clip after the passing of the great Maestro. Rest in peace Mr Bream.
Yet another reason to celebrate Bream’s extraordinary open mindedness, here exemplified by his receptive attitude toward flamenco, a style of playing inscrutably scoffed at by many of his classical predecessors. May we all learn from Julian Bream. RIP.
Julian Bream, one of the world's most accomplished guitarist, still recognizes a different style and views it the enthusiasm of a child's eyes
One of the best pieces of video documentation I've had the Great plays to witness.... Thank Goodness programs like this were ever made at all!
Thankyou so very much for posting 💎🙏🕊️🎶
I grew up listening both of these masters, they are both geniuses in their fields.
two model gentlemen talking to each other...one English and one Spanish...man.. respect seems a light word for what we all feel...
julian bream's face at the end is priceless

Bream is really digging Paco's playing! What a musical treat~
A joy to watch always! Thank you!
thanks for sharing!
i like the way bream is "modest" and respectful, not arrogant. unlike the majority of classical players talkin bout flamencos.
Beautiful video. Thanks!
Bream should talk about rhythm. That would be the hardest thing for a classical player to "get" trying to learn Flamenco, IMO.
i love this legend, my first concert to see flamenco was seeing him on stage
Good to see Julian overwhelmed. A definite rarity

these are 2 masters i look up for all reference on both musical style
Excellent upload!!

Thank you!!
thanks for sharing this : )
I studied under Diego Corriente in San diego who is a gifted flamencist but also has a vast classical repertoire on guitar AND mandolin!!!...
This is available on DVD. It's an excerpt from 'Guitarra!'
The luthier's name is: Gerundino Miguel Fernández Garci'a, or just Gerundino. they are very expensive, if you can find them.
Flamenco is just so immediate and gritty; it goes straight to the gut and heart!
I was wating for him to sing💔
It is from the Julian Bream DVD," !Guitarra! a musical journey through spain."
Jou should buy it it is a great DVD!
But this is the only flamenco in it.
the rest is bream only.
Paco is actually a really good singer
2 of the greatest
talk about a fucking genius meeting a fucking genius - howay the lads!

I love this masterpiece, but I get lost in some parts of the conversation. Could someone possibly share the transcript? Thanks in advance.
The original documentary was indeed a masterpiece, but there are a few little bits missing from this excerpt which makes it a bit disjointed.
bravo....salut from lombok guitar
Does anyone know what brand (luthier) of guitar does Paco Peña use?
5:56. What a haunting melody.
paco seems to be a nice guy so soft spoken
❤❤
Anyone know where I can get the mp3 for the melody at 2:00?
Should have done more googling...
It's John Singer Sargent's El Jaleo for anyone else interested.
Love this! Sound could be better...
friggin' bad-ass!
Can someone tell me what the letras are please
found it
De la Sierra Morena,
Cielito lindo, vienen bajando
Un par de ojitos negros,
Cielito lindo, de contrabando
Although he left out the Cielito lindo part
Beautiful
Did anyone notice the evil laugh at 3:54?
what are the names of the songs he plays in this video?
No, but even the piano piece was inspired by the guitar Albeniz must have been familiar with hearing. If you wish to be more accurate, how is Turina's sonata.

What is the song Paco is playing?
Grande Paco Peña.
What is the right hand technique at 03:20 called? It sounds very nice but looks extremely hard.
Mancubus
It's called alzapua
alza púa
+Mancubus Rasquedo !
Wuaw, did he speed up the Soleares?
Solea or Soleares.
Anyone know the name of the painting they start to show at 2:47? I've seen that same painting in a classical guitar store in Philadelphia.
Bobby Juncosa It's called "El Jaleo" by John Singer Sargeant. It hangs in the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum in Boston, Massachusetts.
It is enormous, almost like a mural. I hope you get a chance to see it!!

A dominant chord does not need a 7th. A dominant chord is chord V (eg. in C major, gbd), a dominant seventh is chord V7 (gbdf).
