I watched the premier on Saturday night. At the time, I was hesitant to stake a claim, but after a few days of thought, and watching it again now, I believe my initial reaction was correct. This is the finest Bach ever played on the guitar. I believe it will be included with other guitar history landmarks: Segovia’s Paris debut, Bream’s “20th Century Guitar” recording, and the 1975 Toronto Guitar Competition with Sharon Isbin, Manuel Barrueco, David Leisner, and Eliot Fisk winning prizes. It doesn’t just set a new standard of guitar playing. It is music of the very highest order.

@nickrobinson2023 3 года назад

The devil is in the detail. The clarity and evenness of the trill as well as the other ornamentations are perfect. Your reflexion is absolutely correct. All the best.

@Soytu19 3 года назад

For me he is rushing, his excessive use of trills is a bit annoying, his guitar sounds nasal, lack of tone differences. Yes, he is technically perfect, but nothing else for me. The live recording of Yepes of this suite belittle this.

@mer1red 3 года назад

@@Soytu19 I think you have some good points. He's technically very good, this should not be a surprise for anybody who knows him. But with all respect, I would never play Bach like this. This simply just doesn't sound as Baroque music. I play not only guitar but also viola da gamba and have listened a lot to harpsichord music of that time. His ornamentations are strange. It's a suite, which means: dance music. Some passages of the performance just don't reflect the nature of those dances. And a lot more.

It's hard to believe he's nearly 70, this is one of the best interpretations of this suite I've ever heard. There are plenty of young artists who can play with the same level of virtuosity, but few have such clean execution and gorgeous tone. His fingering choices and ornamentations are also very tasteful.

It’s definitely my favorite interpretation of this suite as well. You can definitely hear what Bach was to say with his music. And david is also a truly nice human being, had the chance to organize a concert where he played. Unbelievable musician and really interesting person!

Man, that Gigue is absolutely incredible. I've personally met John Williams, Pepe Romero, Chris Parkening and others and I can safely say that David has a seat at the table, of the greatest masters of our age. He has the power of a freight train but can dance across the strings with a lightness I can't comprehend. Bravo sir

@IntellikronTech 3 года назад

The best performance I've ever heard in the last 30 years. I studied classical guitar for 10 years and remember the conversations about David Russell on 1987 in Alicante, Spain where he was a legend amongst the students. He was also famous for reading music at first sight perfectly.

@cdickson01 6 месяцев назад

@JimMcFerry 2 года назад

This is an old piece for me, 55 years at least. An old friend and mentor, unfortunately gone, performed this suite surely and convincingly. I've since been pursuing this all my life. I am now 70 and promised myself not to leave the game before mastering this lautenwerk suite, one of the most elegante and beautiful from JSB's legacy. Others will follow. But this rendition and especially David Russel's technical approach will be of great help and inspiration. A huge thanks from Porto Portugal!

This is beyond exceptional, especially the Gigue needless to say. Unparalleled level of playing with so much feeling, such great tone and ornamentation, and for a man who’s played as such for almost 6 decades now, to maintain that fitness, perhaps to even new levels, it’s hard to find the words to describe such unprecedented levels of achievement. There will never be another David Russell. I can’t wait to hear the next 3 suites, what a time to be alive! Thank you David and the Omni foundation for sharing this with the world!

@thesharpwatcher 2 года назад

One of my favorite classical guitarists for decades - since last century. I am an amateur classical guitarist, and when I hear him play I am always happy that I chose this instrument decades ago. His very beautiful way of playing the compositions is like 'telling a story' with his guitar.

@homosapience6949 3 года назад

This Virtuoso of the Guitar allow me to experience of essence of baroque pluck instrument again. Ever since I knew David Russell, 20 years ago, I always appreciate of his special performances of different times. I think he is a magnificent virtuoso of the guitar.

@larsfrandsen2501 10 месяцев назад

In addition to guitar, I teach general college music courses (theory, form & analysis, counterpoint, etc.) and use this recording as an example of the baroque suite, binary forms, etc. According to my students (not just guitarists), David not only blows all other guitarists away, but in addition they favour his baroque interpretations over those of other instrumentalists, too. An almost impossible feat. Of course the oboists and French horn players in my classes have no idea (nor do they care about) how insanely difficult it is to accomplish such a feat on the guitar. It makes me proud to be able to present a guitar recording not as a curiosity but as a genuine choice of a musical recording of a musical genre. Thank you, David and producers!
