Sensitive, colorful and intense

"Julian Bream's interpretation of this 16th ventury vihuela music features some of the most stunning and entrancing music of this era ever recorded. His slow and sensitive rendition of Narvaez' "Guardame las Vacas" plays like a dreamy lulliby. No one, on either the guitar, lute or vihuela has recorded a more enchanting version of this beautiful piece. While listening, I wanted to repeat his name in homage. "Julian Bream" The mastery he displays on this album is unmatched by any lutenist or vihuelist anywhere in time. If you like 16th century Spanish music, you will LOVE this album."
