...Julian Bream ranks pretty low in classical guitar technique...

-------------------------------------

I guess I don't know that much about classical guitar technique, but
I've known quite a few classical guitarists, and I have never heard
anyone criticize Bream's technique. In fact, the only criticism I have
heard has been to the effect that his style is too heavily biased toward
technical, rather than musical, accomplishment. This is a point of view
I do not happen to share, but neither do I know of any technical
weakness in his approach, or of any difficulties in the repetoire that
are beyond his ability. Why do you rank him "pretty low?"
