July 15 is the birthday of Julian Bream, CBE, English classical guitarist and lutenist. His recordings range from 17th century transcriptions, many pieces by Bach arranged for guitar, popular Spanish pieces and contemporary music. In 1960 he formed the Julian Bream Consort, a period-instrument ensemble in which he was lutenist. The consort led a revival of interest in the music of the Renaissance and the Elizabethan era.
