"...the luthenist!": ambivalências e desvios nas regravações de Julian Bream.

The recent passing of English guitarist Julian Bream (1933-2000) has motivated a reevaluation of his artistic legacy by critics around the world. The current article reads the relationship between Bream's discography and that of his predecessor, Andrés Segovia, in light of Harold Bloom's theory of influence, methodology first proposed and defended in my 2006 doctoral dissertation. After dividing Bream's fifty albums in phases inspired by Bloomian categories, the article carefully attends to the works repeatedly recorded by Bream, in particular, those to which he returns three or more times.
