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.
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.
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.
@@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.
I just want to thank the Omni Foundation for providing all of these beautiful classical guitar performances. As a beginner, but aspiring to get better, this is so inspiring and moving. Thank you!!
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.
I am astonished and ashamed that, having enjoyed the playing of Segovia, Bream, Williams, and Lagoya for decades, I had never heard of David Russell until now. He clearly ranks with these masters. Thank you for this performance.
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.
Simply amazing and also a lot of work into the pureness and whole phrasing of this suite. It all makes sense when listening as whole piece. 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!
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!
My favourite person in the whole world. I have no words to say how much I've always admired him, and of course I still do. A trully legend among the guitar players, and an absolute gentleman.
I can hardly believe what my ears have heard and my eyes have seen,, flawless perfection! Each of the voices of the piece are presented with full clarity within a composition so complex it's amazing to see it actualized on a Guitar. Bach himself would probably be impressed.
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
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!
Very very impressive the ornamentations are so damn smooth, almost doesn’t even sound like a guitar. The counter point on guitar as well. That’s just crazy
Absolutamente maravilloso, enmudecedor y trascendental. A lo que el Maestro nos tiene acostumbrados cada vez que toca. No hay una sola nota que haga que no me transporte a otra dimensión. Cuanto más estudio, y más le conozco, más le admiro.
Y cómo le fluye todo, qué dominio. Lo toca con la misma facilidad que si lo cantara. Por muy endiabladas que sean las dificultades, no pasa ni el más mínimo apuro. Es el mejor sin discusión.
Superb performance master David Russell! We also look forward to the interpretations of the Suites for Laud in transcription for Guitar, BWV 995, 997 and 1006a from the great J.S. Bach, congratulations!
@@robertom.gonzalez9031 Thank you so much. I wonder if it's also a David Russell transcription & recording, & how I would find it ? With much appreciation. V
Simply beautiful BACH played beautifully! Re comments below.... too fast.....too much ornamentation.... phrasing.... These are a matter of taste. DR is one of the greatest masters of our beautiful guitar . He is also deeply knowledgeable about BACH's intentions. David Russel is a msster..... he is able to play Bach any way he chooses. He chose this way here.
Bach belongs to the baroque period but his music aren't baroque. He was considered like a organ virtuoso but not relevant composer. For me this version have too much baroque ornaments (althought masterfully played) that distort the purity of Bach's music.
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.
🌟 Classical music, a celestial dance of notes and rhythms, is a testament to the enduring power of human creativity. It's a symphony that paints emotions in the air, inviting us to partake in the grandeur of artistic expression. 🎨🎶
Watching this whole series of Russell playing Bach requires only one word, from the production, to the best performance of these pieces: perfection. These will endure forever as jewels in classical performance and guitar.
Gracias Maestro por este bello regalo. Con ganas de escucharte las próximas. Un abrazo de Alfredo, Álvaro, Manuel y yo desde Alicante. Estuvimos juntos disfrutando de tu directo. Un beso enorme. 💪💪🌹🌹🌹🌹😘 Nos encantas estamos pendientes. Precioso. Un abrazo.
It is a pleasure know again of David Russell, I had the opportunity to see him play on a concert. He's an incredible performer. I hope the best for him.
VIva David ,,, !!! el mejor guitarrista en la historia intepretativa. Su mano derecha tiene mucho timbre y es muy acelerativo cuando hay que acelerar, además falla poco.. y tiene el matiz de la vieja escuela no la robotica de hoy en día, es diferente.. genio.
In truth, of course(!), there's very few classical guitarists that have matched David's virtuosic level. You make it sound as if this level of playing is rather common, and that my friend, is ridiculous.
Terrific playing. He's fortunate he can still play the guitar at 70 years of age. Many great artists suffer from medical issues when they reach their 50's to 60's.
What an incredible journey into the distant historical architecture adorned by a wonderful rendition of Bach’s suite #1 by David Russell. I can only describe this virtual experience as a transformation into time and space, an experience which few, or none can match! Mr.Russell’s masterful performance of this Baroque suite deserves a place in the permanent display of the Celenova monestary.
Thanks so much for doing this David and Omni Foundation. I'm actually working on the Allemande from this right now and it's great to see your hands in action on this as I learn it. Thanks!
Wonderful playing & tone. Wow the courrante ornamentation. Tricky but spot on. I love Yollonda Kondonasis playing I on harp too. And what is that gorgeous Bach in the intro. I know it but can't recall name or BWV of it Thanks 11:00
For me, my best classical guitar player ever. ❤ Thak you Mr David. And thanks to my music teachers and companions in the school for introduce me David Russel. Heard Bach, Mangore and more great composers from his hands for so many years, and always refreshing me. ❤
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!
MAESTRO !!!! Dulce y hermosa paz entrega usted con esta monumental obra de profundas verdades. Gracias por su gran entrega y sacrificio para tal noble resultado de descanso y solaz . Bellísimo, hermoso y profundo !!!! Muchas felicitaciones y bendiciones !!!!
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.
espectacular el maestro Russell, grandisima interpretación del gran Bach, tan agradecido en sus melodias como dificilisimas de ejecutar. ¡una maravilla! asi como el lugar tan apropiado. Gracias por permitirnos gozar de ello
That trills should get a patent if it could.. how do i play trills like David Russel anyone? I've watched Mence Font chanel but she skipped the technique 😅
Can anyone identify the music played over the introduction and ending? I'm not 100% sure but it reminds me of one of the Goldberg Variations - arranged for guitar, of course.
Monasterio de Celanova. Simpático el hombre que traduce las denominaciones "Poleiro" y "Faladoiro" de las distintas características de la edificación... Una lástima que no hubiese podido combinarlo con el sonido del órgano de la iglesia...

Excellent to hear David Russell's take on this old warhorse from Bach's Lute Suites. Personally, I would still regard Sean Shibe's performances as the new standard by which to judge Bach on the guitar.
Lo toca de una forma tan precisa y perfecta que no parecería humano si no fuera porque consigue que además suene humano. La mejor interpretación que he visto hasta ahora, no creo que sea posible mejorarla, qué pasada.
This is awe-inspiring. I've listened to many gifted performers on lute and guitar but this is simply in another class entirely. The technique is entirely at the service of the music, which is heart-rendingly beautiful even for those of us who find Bach rather relentless at times.
Yep, this interpretation is epic. Really in the spirit of the Master. I learned to play the bourrée, I know how hard it is , and it is not the hardest piece...
Can you all please add time codes for this video? I am studying this suite and love David’s ornamentation (and of course everything else). His ornaments are like no other. Thanks in advance if you decide to add the time codes.

He is one of the best interpreters, perhaps the best interpreter, of Bach's music!
This is Bach, without a doubt, of the absolutely top order. Fantastic...

Lightning-fast ornamentations and passing tones. The apotheosis of baroque performance.
Very very impressive the ornamentations are so damn smooth, almost doesn’t even sound like a guitar. The counter point on guitar as well. That’s just crazy
My favorite rendition of the Gigue is this performance. DR is truly a living legend. And despite his age his playing is still in top form. Respect!
Out of this world. Unbelivable.

What a fantastic performance. Great sound, beautiful interpretation and style and makes you truly believe why Bach on the guitar makes truly sense
Please put this on CD! I can't tell you how much guitarists vary when they play Bach. This is just perfect!
