John Williams's Guitar Notes: 3: Britain

on BBC Radio 3

A four-part history of the classical guitar.
The existence of the British 20th-century guitar repertoire is largely due to Julian Bream, who worked with many composers to create new pieces for the instrument. John Williams introduces Bream's recordings of works by Walton, Britten and Arnold, and discusses his own collaborations with composers such as Stephen Dodgson and Richard Harvey.
