I went to a Julian Bream concert in Edinburgh. I rode the bus, a poor student. A small man in conservative clothes sat down beside me with his instrument case. I said, I'm going to the Bream concert, and he said, so am I. As I went to the entrance, we parted, and he went to another entrance. Of course it was him. BUT HE RODE THE BUS!

Us 1590s kids appreciate young artists like Breem for bringing songs from our childhood back.

It’s really terrific how Rick is introducing people to high quality music from many different genres and time periods.

Rick, When I was at school, way back in the Baroque Era of the Early to MId '70s (1973 to 1977), we did woodwork, my woodwork teacher was so good that he was building a Lute during our classes, while we were doing the assignments we had to complete. THe big thing about this is he was building two, from scratch, One was for Julian Bream the other was for John Williams, two very good friends, who both came to the school to meet our teacher and we got to listen to them both play guitar and lute!!

I LOVED this video. Thank you. I'm an elderly English woman, who's first husband was an aspiring classical guitarist. He absolutely idolised Julian Bream, so much so that we named our first son, JULIAN. (He's now 66!)
I love this renaissance music, especially played on period instruments. Julian Bream was such a 'regular guy' with a really wide appeal. Here in London, we were all very proud of him & his ability to bring us the music of a distant era into contemporary life, which we otherwise might not have known of. It's lovely that American musicians appreciate him, too.

Imagine the composer at the time, being told that people would be getting down to his music 500 years later.

[DCGdesign]

watching Rick Beato head bang a little to some great music from the 1500's just makes my day.

[suedavis]

As a former pro classical musician trying to expand into other genres, I love that Rick is so eclectic. Good music is good music.

Who, after more than 4 centuries, is still listening to John Dowland's hit "The Earl of Essex's Galliard" here on YouTube? 🥰🥰😄

[aliceberethart]

This is why i love love loveee the Tolkien Ensemble.
It’s Tolkien’s poems played and sung as if they’re renaissance pieces. It’s absolutely stunning.

[maryjane-eihl]

This piece of music made me weep .
How can an old English composer reach out through four centuries and put his fi get on a mind today. So powerful .

[thebigpicture-elpanorama]

From an Irish man in Bangkok, this is the perfect ending to my day.

[heavnnnsent]

Jethro Tull gets honorable mention here because they compose their own compositions which sound quite medieval, very much like Renaissance or medieval compositions, only they are contemporary, an amazing band

[stevegrant]

Julian Bream, a hero of mine. I just love how wide ranging Rick’s tastes are. I’m with you on this man!

[keifmullismusic]

Damien Kelly is one of my best friends since 2005. We are both huge Rick Beato fans and the fact that he features in this video has put both of us on a high! Hello from Ireland Rick! 🇮🇪

[raymondward]

One of my favorite things on this planet, is listening to someone who shares thier joy and tries with sincerity to open that door to you. Bravo

[erikhn]

My first record ever was Julian Bream playing English Renaissance music. It was in 1973, I was 10 years old. Loved this music ever since.

[samforsyth]

“Shall I call her good, when she proves unkind”
Such a heavy lyric. Love it!!!

[davemiller]

I like how Rick talks about different genre's and not just modern pop and rock. And he doesn't just talk, he educates.

I was a staff writer in Nashville for a short time and while in Nashville I felt like I had come home. Everyone was on the same wave length, writing all the time, dreaming of getting a song cut and released and dieing when they passed on a hold. Watching your show gives me that same feeling. Your whole life is music and I "get" everything you come up with about music. I feel like I've come home watching you week after week. Please keep it up. Love your show. I like that middle ages stuff too, the middle ages song writers struggling to find a patron so they could eat. Nothings really changed. 9:34
