In a recent interview Bream said that his main career objective was to get serious composers to write for the guitar and admitted that he made a nuisance of himself in the nicest possible way until they did. He was clearly trying out his technique on Stravinsky, but with a lute rather than a guitar.
At the end of the day, Bream has done more than any other guitarist to interest composers in his instrument and even get them to write for it. Embarassing for JB to have this unsuccessful seduction recorded on film for all to see, but Igor maybe missed an opportunity there.
