Passacaglia

This is the best comment! You have managed to express your attitude in such a way that other comments become insignificant!

Russell set a new benchmark in Baroque music on the guitar: the crisp cross-string trills (neither Williams nor Barrueco did or do them, but they are now quite commong among the younger guitarrists), the extreme care and attention towards the counterpoint and polyphony and a very well-rounded, crystal-clear, marble-solid sound.

[@ytg6352]

He set this benchmark thirty years ago when Russell was still young.

[@robertoalexandre4250]

@@ytg6352 Absolutely! There is (without any intention of diminishing their fantastic accomplishments) a new standard (exactly the one you said Russell set some 30 years ago) in Baroque guitar performances, a swerve away from Segovia--Bream-Yepes (and also from Parkening ' superb - albeit romantic - Bach performances and John William's note-perfection of the Bach suites and other pieces) traditions. One sees this in the newer generation of superb players (and true masters) such as Paul Galbraith (Brahms guitar, 8-string), Sanel Redzič, Marcyn Dylla (his recent BWV 996), Stephan Schmidt (10-string) and others. I should also mention Goran Schollscher from Sweden on the 11-string and Herbert Kappell (who transcribed a Bach keyboard Partita). A different kind of thinking regarding counterpoint (aiming at keyboard like clarity, but with the warm color palette of the guitar), ornamentation (the crisp cross string trills) and also new transcriptions of work (include Bach keyboard partitas and other works, Handel keyboard works, a host of Scarlatti sonatas and other composers). In this sense, one can clearly see an evolution in guitar technique which is exactly that new standard influencing the latest generations of classical guitar players. Like Segovia's "Chaconne" Russell marks the "Beyond-the-Chaconne" era of Baroque performances on the guitar.

[@ThibautKurt23]

Have you heard Presti and Lagoya ? Ida Presti trills are cross the strings and David admitted himself he tried to emulate them. And also they transcribed for two guitars (Lagoya did the transcription to be exact) the allegro part of the suite by Handel from which this Passacaglia is and David heard it too

[@DpGz]

This suite is extremely difficult and he makes it so good.

The guitar music plays a classic harmonic progression I-IV-V(I) PASSACAGLIA. The result is its smooth melodic flow of the music. The tonal sound is rich in pitch, quality and modulation. For those with perfect pitch are able to write out each note in this guitar piece. Very beautiful guitar melody and a good lesson to learn and understand better the method of 'Passacacaglia' as applied by many baroque & classical composers. Many thanks for this opportunity to understand better the technique and appreciate better the listening of classical music.

@mymusick86 Perhaps it is the acoustics of the room. The version of this I heard on his CD has a lot less reverb and echo than this version does and it definitely seems the bass voice is sometimes cut short compared to this version. Even with the inferior sound quality this recording sounds better than the one on his CD because of the acoustics.

[@ratmcratty1808]

Wish there was a high fidelity recording of this. Perhaps the nature of the location makes it incredibly difficult to record. However it is also this location that puts this at the top of the list for Handel's Passacaglia played on guitar. The incredibly high amount of natural echo and reverb from playing in that spot is key for the sustain of notes that can't physically be held on the guitar. Unless a guitarist "cheats" in a recording of this piece and uses an additional track to hold these notes it will be incredibly difficult to surpass this version recorded here. It's very noticeable and sounds incomplete without it.

Händel later took many parts from this Passacaglia when he wrote a Chaconne with 21 variations, still for the harpsichord.(Chaconne in G, HWV 435 (1733)). I have only heard one guitar recording of that Chaconne that I liked, namely by Ida Presti & Alexandre Lagoya playing their own tranposition. (Philips Classics: Duo Extraordinaire 1994, 3CD box). The Chaconne can hardly be played on only one guitar. The Philips CDs are not good soundwise. I hope there are better remastered CDs available today
