Talk:Julian Bream

message: thanks for reverting the barbarism "lutist". as a former editor with the lute society of america, i attest that the correct term used by players, musicians and musicologists is LUTENIST. author graham wade opens his essay to the complete edition of the RCA recordings: "Julian Bream, guitarist and lutenist, ..." colin slim's edition of the complete lute music of francesco da milano refers to him a "lutenist", etc. the term "lutanist" is an illiterate stab at sound spelling.

message: The discography needs to differentiate between UK and US releases: the duets with John williams were called "Together", Together Again" and "Live" in the UK. I believe "Julian and John" was the US version of the first one, but I don't know about the others. Paul Magnussen 17:16, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Previous references have Mr Bream's nationality as English. However, it is more correct to refer to him as British.
1 He is referred to as British at the following external websites (and) 
http://www.discogs.com/artist/Julian+Bream
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Julian-Bream/e/B001LH8256

2 He is classed under British Lutists within Wikipedia
3 He is the recipient of the Order of the British Empire  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robata (talk • contribs) 15:19, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians trumps all those external websites, and he is defined as English in the article devoted to him there. The fact he is mis-classed in Wikipedia (thanks for pointing this out) and has been decorated an OBE is neither here nor there. Alfietucker (talk) 15:33, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The fact Grove was published in the U.S. is neither here nor there, since it was edited in London. I am very familiar with the shortcomings of the Dictionary (since I am an academic working in classical music), but Bream's nationality is not one of them. Still, if you don't want to believe Grove, then you have to contend with the Oxford Dictionary of Music which describes him as "Eng. guitarist and lutenist." Wikipedia doesn't work on speculation but on authoritative sources. I submit that two dictionaries devoted to classical music are more authoritative than EB, which btw is indeed an American operation and which - the Wikipedia article helpfully tells us - has "gradually simplified articles, making them less scholarly for a mass market".

text: Hi,  (with cc to ). Removing maintenance tags is done on the honor system, like most things on Wikipedia. They are placed on the honor system, and removed on the honor system. Their intent is to be helpful, and when they are no longer relevant it is time to remove them. Just like when you see a  tag and you fix the issue, then you are supposed to remove the tag too. That is my story, and I am sticking to it. Cheers!  {Talk} 18:02, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you, Chekcingfax. Good. ...kindly remove it  ...just kidding. I'll take care of this now; the fanpov tag was there for no rhyme or reason. Some time ago, someone put "arguably the greatest guitarist in the world" so possibly the tag originates from that time. (Actually, you could easily find sources to prove that assertion). --Natalie.Desautels (talk) 18:27, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: You could find sources that STATE that, not 'prove' it. Wiki needs to keep a neutral voice, while relating the common critical opinion of his talent with strong references.50.111.14.143 (talk) 01:02, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
