3/4. Britain. The creation of the British 20th-century guitar repertoire was largely due to
Julian Bream and the way he worked with many composers to create new works for the instrument. John Williams introduces Bream's recordings of works by Walton, Britten and Arnold and discusses his own collaborations with such composers as Stephen Dodgson and Richard Harvey. He also takes a look at Stanley Myers's Cavatina, one of the most widely known of all guitar pieces.
