Western Vista by Olga Amelkina-Vera

[@markxl]

Back in the days when David was a student at the Royal Academy of Music I was one of his pupils - It was an enormous pleasure to sit and watch his technique even as a young man.

Extraordinario, te adaptas a muchos estilos. Ese sonido que sacas de las guitarras es muy limpio.Maravilloso

[@zaenkmus]

Very beautiful! - I love discovering new compositions like this - amazingly performed as always. Thanks to the musicians for deep emotions - also with the solidarity for the people of Ukraine, and all of humanity. Music does help, many thanks.

[@chrisunzicker2845]

Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I was lucky enough to be at the premier. ❤️

[@philippemariotti8948]

Very beautiful piece, a lot of images of the west, the beginning is wide as the open sky. Then I might have heard some mustangs galloping wild and free. And all played by my hero mr Russell, well what else do we need. Thank you for this amazing piece!!! I love it. 🙏🙏

[@olgaamelkinaveracomposer]

Dear Philippe, thank you so much for your wonderful response! You understood the piece and the images in it so well!!

[@vichowemusic]

I wish I could “like” this more than once. Wonderful

Just watched Olga Amelkina-Vera present this piece last night. She used your performance as an example of the piece.

[@Viajandoporlared]

Le vi Madrid hace unos días y fue espectacular. Tuvo que salir a saludar 6 o 7 veces y esta fue la última que nos regaló.

[@mariopage1541]

Daviciño. Nunca dejarás de sorprenderme. Muchas gracias por emocionarme. Un fuerte abrazo

[@Erdnase23]

Magnificent! Aside from the extraordinary dynamics of the piece itself, such wide-ranging technique! it’s the first time I think I’ve seen vibrato in classical guitar that’s lateral to the fretboard rather than parallel to it. And occasionally picking technique to achieve dynamics that seems to be emulating using a plectrum (although there was no close-up to be certain). Truly embracing everything that the guitar offers. Bravo maestro!

[@Falaxuper]

Another piece that utilises this vibrato technique is Sonatina Libre by Dyens (Fuoco), but you're right - a rare sight

[@alainjoffroy763]

David, la perfection pour cette interprétation bravo et merci.

[@francescodefendi3201]

Well done Olga, Russell and David! 😊😊👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

Che spettacoloooooooooooo!!!!

[@samuelfidelis6843]

Maravilhoso

[@josephsullivan917]

Noted that someone thought the beginning sounded Asian. It is not. Rather it is a traditional American song (o bury me not on the lone prarie) that has its origins In a Gaelic lament.

Beautiful. The song is "Oh, Bury Me Not on the LONE Prairie," not Old Prairie!
