[@aglmil9379]

David Russel is one of the best guitar players. Technic and interpretation 10 points

[@ricardolemus5937]

David Russell is a perfect guitarist. To me he's the fusion between Bream and Williams: he is a virtuoso player and his musical interpretation is exquisite.

[@DeletedDenizen]

Great description of him!

[@rdubb77]

Along with the Barrueco, setting the standard for the generation after Bream and Williams.

[@hdholl]

David Russell: master of the trills!

[@97mesut]

Best baroque guitarist by far!

[@frankhitch5080]

Praise the LORD!... Praise Him with stringed instruments and pipe. (Psalm 150)

[@jaimeromero84]

SO AMAZING. David Russell always has this balance between musicality and awesome technique.

[@ThibautKurt23]

Really impressive technique , and elegant sound overall.

[@florentvauxion3664]

David Russell's interpretation is medecine for my soul. A bit of Heaven on Earth. Thank you Master.

[@turtlesoupage]

This is the best classical guitar performance I've ever heard.

[@nicolofranchettipardo1496]

Listening to this recording you might think this music was written for guitar! It's even better than on the the harpsicord. Marvellous!

[@timpenfield5]

iv seen this guy teach a master class at USC in the 80s. the guy just gets things flowing for his students. no ego, he doesn't need 1

[@dugitomi]

+Tim Penfield i've been able to sense that in his recordings. he seems so real and genuine in his performances, and that comes through in the music. a few months ago, i found a video of him playing live a work by a chilean composer, and at the end of the video he smiled and waved at the camera. i thought that was so great. here is one of the best guitarists in the world, and he can see his performance as just something he does. it was like he was saying 'aw, that wasn't so great' when in fact it was very great. muchas gracias y saludos desde Tokio.

[@ytg6352]

I got this CD more than 20 years ago after his recital hold in Taiwan. It is still my favorite today.

[@southernculture81]

Wow, what a performance! His interpretation of Handel is flawless!

[@alankahn9820]

My first time hearing the complete Handel Suite. Stunning performance from one of my favorite classical guitarists along with Bream, Presti, Dylla, and Marco Socias and a handful of other greats.

[@mrlaa1]

This is utterly superlative playing!!

[@matatool]

Such a beautiful performance, David Russell is my all time favorite classical guitar player, it's nice he is still doing tours.

[@manueljesusperez9737]

Más de treinta años hace que oí a David tocar esta transcripción en directo. Fué en Malaga y aun hoy me me sigue maravillando. Aun hoy tras oírle lo recuerdo. Gracias

[@nuriadelclosalonso6592]

Yo estuve allí, en el María Cristina...... fue alucinante.... Grabé el concierto con una minigrabadora de la época..... No sé cuantas veces lo he escuchado en todos estos años. Gracias David!!!

[@pedrobeloqui2752]

Hermosas obras de.scarlatti !1685 1757 correspondientes al barroco.español !Domenico fue contemporaneo de Juan Sebstian Bach !fue maestro de musica de la princesa Barbara de Bragansa de Portugal y al casarce con.el eredero del trono de España se introduce en el gran mundo de la corte de España en esos años muy italianisada !y Domenico desarrolla todo su potencial como musico y compositor de la corte.!y se maravillaba viendo y escuchando la musica del pueblo y al padre.Jose tocar la guitarra !y en los viajes de la corte a los pacios de verano.se inspiraba en la vida de las personas comunes del pueblo !campesinos arrieros.etc dtc !y nos lego estas magnificas obras musicales que nos enriquesen la vida !

[@luckylicks3497]

Those who play guitar know that this performance is scary good

[@andresfelipecardonagutierr3249]

Beyond perfect.

[@paulokacula7443]

This is the most wonderful piece that I think. so, with Russell playing, that's really fantastic.

[@nicolasloschner3273]

Thanks so much for sharing this ! the whole suite

[@focl2003]

Beautiful.

[@MarkInLA]

It even sounds like a harpsichord ( hope that's a compliment ! )......

[@noban5836]

Mark Harris k lol guess it sounds like a harpsichord

[@noban5836]

Mark Harris eh harpsichords sound beautiful too

[@stephenhooker882]

It is. The John Gilbert guitar heard here is an incredibly bright, sensitive, even-sounding and gloriously responsive instrument.

[@alsatiancousin2905]

My first thoughts exactly... after contemplating it acoustic guitar does give room for that sound depending on the body and where it's picked. Anyways, this guy is really really good.

[@ricardoaigner169]

😅

[@Camilo870913]

Genial, impecable, elegante... sin dudas uno de los mas grandes guitarristas clásicos!

[@hanswallner2188]

Another incredible masterpiece, what a wonderful performance!

[@excelsior999]

I attended a recital by Maestro Russell a couple of years ago. If he isn't the best classical guitarist in the world then he is certainly a contender.

[@antoniomurillonaval7616]

Como siempre , extraordinario !!

[@kathyhollenbach7413]

I am so fortunate to have found your music! Does sound like a harpsichord! Superb!!!👏👏👏

How on earth can no fewer than nine supposedly sentient human beings disapprove of such sublime musical and technical mastery as this? It boggles the mind! If brains were a disease, each and every one of these people would surely be given a clean bill of health...

Splendid two chord trills.

[@jimenazunigacastro4479]

Simplemente Maravilloso...

[@soundknight]

Oh my God! I think I ascended to Heaven at 14:05. I have never heard him play this work, what an astounding feat. The Queen should 'Knight' him. Astounding. I am surprised as I have heard a lot of his playing and love most of it and think of it as the best examples in many cases but this work is even more significant. Thanks for posting this.

[@TheModernHermeticist]

[@MrRolando68]

Le genre de pièces de jeu et d'interprèrte qui place d'emblée la guitare comme un instrument soliste au même titre que le violon et le piano ou le violoncelle!!!! C'est du 5 étoiles!!!

[@joanplanas9605]

Fantàstic!!!

[@higherresolution4490]

At Minute 10, Second 22, we hear that brilliant movement (gig?) that Ida Presti and Alexandre Lagoya ripped through with total perfection and virtuosity. I love David's solo interpretation equally.

[@labuch73]

This album costs 98,99 euros on Amazon.... Still I want it so badly.

[@llp0001]

I got 2 copies. The first one was damaged for ‘stress’ ... I heard it too much times. This album marked a before and after for classical guitar and specially, for the modern playing technique. No doubt.

[@llp0001]

TOOXICFOX 98,90 ? This price is very high. May be they put this price because it seems the first edition on cd, but remember that the first release was in LP vinyl. Don’t wait more. I searched and ... you can buy it directly from GHA (the original record label) in a new release at 15 € only ! www.gharecords.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=72

[@tooxicfox5245]

@@llp0001 Thank you so much for your time. It is undoubtedely an amazing recording which finally makes justice to the potential of both the performer and the instrument. I will definitely take a look at that link you sent me. Can't wait until I hear that majestic first arpeggio of the Haendel Suite at my place.

sounds like DR

[@guitarostopheles7412]

No doubt, Russel is a great guitarplayer ... but I suggest to listen to the version of german maestro Lawall, who adds all the needed scalework to the Sarabande (Handel only wrote the skeleton-chords). Listen to the registers, to the cadenzas, the easy flowing tempos. Maybe we can start a discussion then. And don't be irritated, Lawall plays it in a-minor (5 halftones deeper). kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ3SoGmCisaIjqc&t=

Es handelt sich hier um eine geniale Aufnahme die alle klassische Gitarristen damit gerne angeben können. Wer diese Aufnahme negativ bewertet, ist: Ein Arschloch ohne musikalische Kenntnisse, dafür im Besitz von viel Neid, musikalische Dummheit und ein Bild von meinem wunderschönen Stinkefinger in Full HD Qualität. 🖕🏽😜

[@danyiluska]

I will be the only one who says: he is a great player, but i don't like this sound and i don't like his, and everybody's technical approach. Technique is a requirement for making MUSIC.

[@Michael-mg4tx]

yes, your most true statement is that you are in the minority in your opinion, Daniel. Listen again is my best advice to you...
