As David Russell demonstrates, Bach, who wrote no music for the guitar, sounds like a guitarist's composer. Not only does Bach's lute music translate well into the related but distinct sonic world of the guitar, but even transcriptions of music for other instruments -- including violin, cello, and keyboard -- sound quite authentic in the hands of ...
The solo recordings of Scots-Spanish guitarist David Russell have enjoyed strong sales and wide exposure from, among other sources, U.S. Grammy awards. He has emerged as a major star of the instrument, and this program makes an excellent introduction to his talent. Russell is technically fluid, but that is a distinction he shares with several of ...
David Russell is a Scottish guitarist, veteran of more than 20 album releases, a master technician, and a performer with an instinctive hold on an audience's attention.
