Classical guitarist Julian Bream reviews 500 years of musical history involving the Spanish guitar and its distinctive music. In this television documentary he takes viewers on a sojourn to various locales in Spain including Seville, Toledo, Madrid, and Barcelona. Highlights include Bream performing with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, with scenes that feature striking Spanish geography and architecture, commentary on Spanish culture and its influence on the guitar, and information about related instruments including the vihuela and the lute. ~ Steve Blackburn, All Movie Guide

This I had watched, Comme Ci Comme Ca...
Julian Breams, a British Julian.
The flamenco in Episode 4, women painting in Episode 5 are all
wonderful.
The sad historical photo scenes in the later Episodes are
quite touching.
Thanks for the recommendation, Gadfly! - Re: Guitarra!: A Musical Journey Through Spain (1986) on DVDposted on 10/30/2005
You're most welcome! :)
I borrowed and burned a copy for myself but haven't watched it in its entirety.
There are corners inside us that only Spanish guitar can pluck, tickle and stir, I believe.
