The first half of the Bream concert with lute was one of the most beautiful 
things I had heard at that time. When he brought out the guitar for the second 
half, it was almost a letdown.

Bream also did a lot of touring on both sides of the Atlantic in those days.  I 
can remember attending a concert in which he played guitar in one half and lute 
in the other.  He was the first to introduce the lute repertoire to a broader 
public, probably realizing that it was much better quality than much of the 
guitar repertoire.
