David Russell: Valses Poéticos - Enrique Granados

[@michaeltroke7239]

Such a beautiful sound throughout the virtuoso performance. Incidentally (and trivially), he looks like Sting in this photo ...

[@normabristol5278]

I have been playing this on piano for years and still love playing it. Alicia de Larrocha introduced me to Granados in her recordings.This is an inspired performance on guitar. David Russell has played this suite how I always hoped it would sound with the warmth and vibrato of the guitar unavailable to the piano. Thank you.

[@JackHandysideMusicUK]

This is one damn hard piece, David Russell has both balls and skill that's almost too much for one man.

[@bcguitarteacher7328]

His high notes make me want to cry, just beautiful!

[@tonikaila5512]

Amazing! So beautifully played and interpreted - a totally mesmerizing experience. Thank you for posting, and thank you for the Maestro for the inspiration!

[@mikelord9860]

This is incredible. David Russell is the guy you wanna see.

[@kalpubinc]

Exquisite transcription by Mr. Russell! Granados ear had the guitar in mind for many of his piano works. Kudos for Mr. Russell!

[@timobrien1524]

Wow. Such a great transcription and performance.

[@Michajeru]

Really really beautiful playing. Absolutely masterful.

[@Michajeru]

Oh my God that's beautiful music. How refreshing it is to the soul.

[@allanhogg8510]

Absolutely magnificent ! I still would have to put Bream's performance ahead of this, but we are talking about slight nuances of brilliance at this level.

[@VCguitar1]

By far the best guitar arrangement of this I've ever heard.

[@VCguitar1]

By far the best version of this I've ever heard.

[@gregorioperezvankappel5315]

Sounds like if Granados had a guitar on mis mind while a keyboard under his hands. Wonderful!

[@plumleytube]

Truly excellent. Also listen to Kupinski Duo version ... and their other KZbin offerings

Muy buena interpretacion. Felicidades.

[@JavierZaffaroni]

Does anyone know if this transcription by Mr. Russell has been published? Thanks!

[@amigosXcorrespondenc]

Sadly never been published.

[@hamzou2]

Grandiose :). It doesn't surprise me from him.

[@TheStinnMaster]

He must publish this transcription, cause there are so many that are not good enough.

[@valentinfernandez2951]

Alguien tiene esta transcripción?

[@RussellWatson777]

Yes, Rémi's cd is amazing

[@stephenhooker882]

Excelente, como de costumbre, David! ¿Cuándo podemos esperar su transcripción maravilloso en Quebec? Abrazo a usted y a María!

[@alainw5192]

This is beautiful. Check out also for Rémi Boucher's version (here on youtube, but better on his cd), which is no doubt less accurate academically speaking, but which is very passionate!

[@Ratatoing42]

Where is this transcription?! The bass lines are so much better in this than mine.

[@jackhousman6637]

Wonderful transcriptions, wonderfully played. Superb. (Do listen to the lovely performance of the original piano, by Alicia de Larrocha. Click below. Enjoy.

[@vextract4662]

Yes I like Bream version as much as this and prefer the Romanillos. I'm not sure if this is on the Frederich or the Damman? Russell briefly played on another exceptional make I don't recall.

[@nikoud1960]

Perhaps a guitar made by John Gilbert?

[@davepazz580]

This is his Damman I believe...

[@RussellWatson777]

Magnificent

[@nguyendo2317]

Amazing..

[@VCguitar1]

Exactly my thougts.

[@riojimatsuoka]

I know this is a recording and you can edit it as much as you want but D. Russell is an amazing musician. One of the very few guitarists who knows what he is doing.

[@benide1989]

I heard him play this live recently at Spivey Hall. I'm sure this was edited some, but to tell you the truth to me it sounded just as good live.

[@riojimatsuoka]

Yeah, I believe you. He gave a masterclass and a concert at the conservatory where I was studying back then and he really made me feel that I had a long way too go even though I was already a pretty good player. Going to see him in July in London and I am pretty excited. What I like about D. Russell is that he always comes up with new material.

[@DuoPolyakovs]

Nice!!!

[@FredLawton88]

I also really wish he'd publish this! there really are some awful ones available!

[@03luizeduardo]

[@richardsrensen4219]

David Russel is in a Class of his owen

[@RussellWatson777]

Telarc; "Reflections of Spain"

[@asmundrekstenscheie2181]

2 guitars on this??????

[@matiasarias2347]

only one

[@mikelord9860]

One guitar, but David is an arthropod - you knew that, right?

[@1blairt]

Hear the Schumann influences

[@francescokallmancenci383]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Respectthewilderness]

[@icecreamguy2786]

[@cminoiu]

Min 1:26 ...

[@carlosm9364]

13:55 ;)

[@StephenBrennanGuitar]

@VCguitar Breams version is far better in my opinion

[@Pablo_Olais]

No lo toca nada mal, pero se nota increíblemente que la obra no es para guitarra, como de costumbre.

[@josemiguelsanchez1402]

Si, se nota "increiblemente". Ufff, Dios nos libre de los iluminados como tú. Sabrás mucho tú de música. Y no digamos de guitarra....... Bocazas.

[@hectorjazz7]

Pablo Olais También pienso que en pienso suena mejor a mi parecer, pero D. Russell lo que toque lo hace con elegancia y belleza.

[@evaristolucas7367]

+Pablo Olais y según tú qué argumentos das para saber que no es repertorio guitarrístico sin saber de qué compositor época se trata,,, es imposible amigo, a no ser que se albéniz, tanto por ir a los agudos cambios forzados o por melodías en tercera cuerda por arriba se nota al escuchar que no es para guitarra, perto los valses poéticos?

[@Pablo_Olais]

Si, no son para guitarra originalmente.

[@Pablo_Olais]

Aunque les duela a los guitarristas, mucho de lo que tocan son "arreglos" de obras hermosas que ni por asomo de pensaron para guitarra. Quizá contengan elementos del folclore guitarristico pero no por eso se pensó para guitarra. No se pongan a los berrinches con los compositores, ellos saben mejor que nosotros por que escogieron piano por ejemplo y no guitarra.
