It’s been too long time since we last featured John Williams<\/a> and Julian Bream<\/a> together in a video. Of course they need no introduction to most of you\u2014each belongs in the upper echelons of the classical-guitar pantheon, as among the most important and influential players ever. They made just three albums together, all in the 1970s\u2014Julian & John<\/em> and Julian & John 2<\/em> (neatly collected on a double-CD that belongs in every collection, called Together: The Ultimate Collection<\/em><\/a>), plus the double-album Julian Bream and John Williams Live<\/em>\u2014but they made quite a mark during their relatively brief time together. Here, they perform Fernando Sor’s Fantasie for Two Guitars, Op. 54<\/em>. Williams, 79, continues to perform sporadically, often playing new music in a number of different configurations; Bream, 86, no longer performs but continues to champion new music and young guitarists through the Julian Bream Trust. \u2014Blair Jackson<\/em><\/p>\n
