My introduction to the lute was Bream's Lute Music of the Royal Courts of Europe, back in the late sixties when I was a high school low brass player dabbling with classical guitar on the side. This and his later albums helped divert me to the lute repertoire, the music of the Renaissance, and later to the lute itself. I always loved his playing on both guitar and lute. He might not have been the most technically perfect player, but his musicality more than made up for it. I was fortunate to hear him in concert in the early seventies, half on lute and half on guitar, and it was one of my favorites. I wonder if there are still recordings of those concerts around. RIP.

I saw him perform on guitar and lute in 1978 and it changed my life. I went right out and ordered my first lute. He was an inspiration and will be missed.
