Background: Julian Bream is one of the greatest masters of the guitar, admired for the intensity of his playing and the beauty of his tone. His advocacy of the Elizabethan repertory pioneered early music in recital form and brought the lute into the world’s concert halls. To celebrate his 75th birthday in July 2008, Deutsche Grammophon are releasing on Original Masters a 2-CD set of some of Julian Bream's earliest recordings - none of which has appeared on CD before.

The set comprises Bream's solo Dowland LP (1954) - which was his debüt solo recording, played on lute - and his solo Bach LP (1956), both originally recorded on the Westminster label and justly celebrated at the time. Here they are brought together with a wide selection of Dowland ayres, sung by The Golden Age Singers with Bream’s lute accompaniment. The CD booklet has a newly commissioned note by Tully Potter, a personal friend of Julian Bream, and includes reproductions of the original LP covers, LP labels and photos of the artists.
