Being a flamenco guitarist I should not comment but I like very much how David Russell makes this more like a song or lament rather than a jumping dance. Sorry if I get it wrong.
I'm no expert by any stretch, but to me this is the finest iteration that I have ever heard. Rich nuance with perfect balance and playful embellishment...just beautifully done
In reality, he has managed to turn a beautiful ober full of emotion into something boring and lacking in expression. Too slow in many parts. It breaks the rhythm and the charm. I'm sure he is a master at playing other kinds of classics, but this piece is not that. I let you here a couple examples of people with more ore less technic, but with feeling. ruclips.net/video/QGmBZCgwAvc/видео.html&ab_channel=PaolaHermos%C3%ADn ruclips.net/video/z-cNkuG3OqI/видео.html&ab_channel=PabloSainz-Villegas%2CSpanishGuitar
ruclips.net/video/f4CzrXRcDjk/видео.htmlsi=sqzaTtEj-JjtoKcX. Try this by a pupil of Tarrega’s played without nails, like the Maestro would have played it. Naturally the audio isn’t all that great but listen to the phrasing and appreciate the virtuosity.
Verry well done , but i believe if you give him a 300k classical guitar , the special ones . it would sound 100× deeper with reasonance ... wich does great on theyse songs.
I love the gentle and laid-back mood of this performance. Some guitarists play Caprichio Arabe as if it's supposed to make you nervous, and they lose all the playfulness just to achieve accuracy and speed.
I agree that this is one of the most beautiful interpretations around of this masterpiece. The way he plays that chromatic run resolving on the major theme around 3:30 is pure delight.
I really appreciate this version as I have been working on this song for almost two years! I now realize I need to pay more attention to the feel and changes in tempo to really bring the song alive! David Russel is a true master! Thanks so much for sharing your gift👍🏻😁
I think he hit the perfect tempo for this piece. I think it loses something when people play this too fast. I, too am learning this piece and this sedate tempo makes it a little more achievable.
loco, tienes 100.000 personas que le dan mucho más sentimiento a la pieza, algunos españoles/as y otros extranjeros. A mi esta versión me parece totalmente carente de feeling.
There are so many superb interpretations of this piece, but no BEST! Every musician brings their own touch. Check out tbe Brazilian E. Lopes and the Greek Evangelos Assimakopoulos. Let me know your opinion.
The utter genius of Tarrega to write such a hauntingly beautiful melody!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I'm in awe. Mr Russell plays the finest version in my humble opinion?.
Simply the best 👌 interpretation ever...well...jj🤠j ... after the Maestro...Tarrega of course in those Barcelona's Cafes...in the middle of the Night 🌙 ✨ and surrounded by friends and fans...with a good cigarette pending on his mouth and his heart and mind pointing to the stars 🌟 ✨ ♥ +++Vivaaa Tarrigaaa...saludos 🥰
Man the timing, the subtle alteration of it, pausing ever so slightly at just the right moment. Technically perfect but artistically beyond perfect. What instrument was he playing, it sounds amazing? This piece in particular demands an instrument with good bass and this instrument has that.
Bravo David...! La pulsación de fondo es el alma de la pieza y no todos aciertan a imprimirle el tempo justo, que le da al Capricho toda su sensualidad oriental.
BRAVISSIMO!!! I've been listening to this piece for 40 years and playing it for over 20 years, it's very rare to hear someone that plays it correctly and you absolutely nailed it. Judging by some of your tempo choices on certain phrases it sounds like you might be familiar with the same Segovia rendition that I grew up listening to. This is also one of my favorite Spanish encores 😉
You have to have visited southern spain in summer to feel this piece. He plays it so well like he has actually spent his whole live in Malaga, Cordoba or Grenada. Masterful. Listening to this interpretation takes me back to a wonderful summer in Andalucia.
Not only played magnificently by a true artist of the classical guitar, but a true, caring gentleman, as well. I was fortunate to meet him in the 1990's in Michigan and was such a nice man, very unassuming and kind.
absolutely the best ive heard! Most plat too fast and theres some silence between chord changes. he lets the tone keep sounding as he fingers the next so it flows beautifully❤
I'm mostly a total electric listener from Muddy Waters to Hendrix and beyond but there is nothing more beautiful and pure than the sound of acoustic "gut" strings.
I was just about to write the exact same words from the line below mine..... With the addition that your pauses and high and low , apart the ultra clear notes , shows that the sound coms from inside you, almost blending into another dimension. Well done.
That's not any good from a classical perspective... in any case, you are wrong, there are subtle tempo and dynamic changes which, of course, make the piece more expressive. In music "perfection" is failing miserably
Wonderful playing. I personally like Parkening's interpretation the most. It's on another level when it comes to technique and expressiveness. Very moving
I've heard Capricho Árabe done by many very good guitar players, but David Russell's I think is the best. He puts a ton of soul in it. I like it more than Andres Segovia's.

But who plays this like a jumping dance?
Agree. I hear that in this piece too. It's so beautiful.
I'm no expert by any stretch, but to me this is the finest iteration that I have ever heard. Rich nuance with perfect balance and playful embellishment...just beautifully done
I completely agree. David Russell is one of the best masters who knows the secret of sound
Listen to Mauel Barrueco's version... it's another very sublime version.

I'm sure he is a master at playing other kinds of classics, but this piece is not that. I let you here a couple examples of people with more ore less technic, but with feeling.

Mr. Russell is the Everest of the classical guitar of our times ! 🙏🏻
GOAT

This is the definitive version of this piece. Russell really knows how to make guitar pieces come to life.
This. He doesnt rush it but dont make you sleep with its slow pace either. Its like he understood 100% what Tarrega wanted to say with this piece.
You said it. It is more than a performance... it is like he brought Tarrega back to life.

I love playing this.
Then I listen to David Russell playing it and I think...
Oh well.....!
I heard this piece a thousand times but I never get tired of it. Beautifuly played 👍🏼
the melody the tempo was flawless ! some played it like a race car.. love you David
The guitar in David Russels hands speaks in a voice of special beauty , strength and warmth .Thank you .
Stunning performance. Also, his instrument is magnificent. Incredible tone
Mathias Damann.
Tone comes from the fingers moreso than the instrument.
@davidreynolds6718 agreed, but if I'm playing on a plywood instrument, my fingers can only do so much! Lol
Thank you for sharing. Lovely performance of this classic by Tarrega
To me , a Master Guitarrist
means …. no squeaks !
Bravo David Russell 👏👏👏
Perfection!
The utter genius of Tarrega to write such a hauntingly beautiful melody!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I'm in awe.
Mr Russell plays the finest version in my humble opinion?.
Russell interpreta meglio tutto
Thanks for making such video that we can see Russell’s hands really clearly, it is a really precious video that should be spread down!!

Beautiful playing with great sound - wonderful !
Man the timing, the subtle alteration of it, pausing ever so slightly at just the right moment. Technically perfect but artistically beyond perfect. What instrument was he playing, it sounds amazing? This piece in particular demands an instrument with good bass and this instrument has that.
It's a Mattias Dammann guitar..
Well done David Russell. Amazing Number. fine presentation.
Extraordinario David Russell. Uno de los más grandes intérpretes en la historia de la guitarra clásica española.
En serio no encuentras la pieza carente de feeling? Técnicamente, perfecto, pero no me gusta el feeling que no le da.... xD
The most beautiful interpretation of this music I´ve ever heard! Delightful.
Played with such grace.
Crisp, accented and sweet. A delight.
Impecable ejecución ! 👍👍👍
one of the best interpretations. David the master!
yes, and I don't hear anyone like him, his pull off is the best, he has different power in three first strings
and now watching him playing live capricho arabe, its like miracle🎉
Bravo David...! La pulsación de fondo es el alma de la pieza y no todos aciertan a imprimirle el tempo justo, que le da al Capricho toda su sensualidad oriental.

Bullshit,his interpretation is devoid of feeling. It breaks the rhythm so much that it kills the piece.
Sencillamente preciosa interpretación 😊
David Russell is one of the best in the world.
Beautiful music with great virtuosity and amazing technique. Thank you: the joy of music lives here! ♬
Great performance.
Thank you!
AMAZING MIRACLE
Beautifully crafted!
Not only played magnificently by a true artist of the classical guitar, but a true, caring gentleman, as well. I was fortunate to meet him in the 1990's in Michigan and was such a nice man, very unassuming and kind.
Buenísima interpretación de esta obra. Sin duda un gran maestro de la guitarra!
absolutely the best ive heard! Most plat too fast and theres some silence between chord changes. he lets the tone keep sounding as he fingers the next so it flows beautifully❤
Absolutely fantastic!
Impressive! As always!
Una interpretacion simplemente sublime
Por fin un capricho arsbe bidn tocado... sin vorrer... gran maestro, bravo
Brilliant David Russell, without doubt most accomplished living guitarist. Love his playing so much, always understands the pace.
I saw him in concert in 1986. A true artist.
@@rebanelson607 He certainly is great but let us not forget Celil Refik Kaya!
I'm mostly a total electric listener from Muddy Waters to Hendrix and beyond but there is nothing more beautiful and pure than the sound of acoustic "gut" strings.
Wow. Masterpiece of art. ❤
Thanks❤❤❤
Brought me to tears listening to this beautiful piece of music played so passionately! Thank you
Fantastic classical guitar 🎉
Excellent Performance!
Bello Maestro!😊
Excelente. Mucho gusto. Un maestro.
This is so beautiful and have to thank you! It brings some peace in my day.
👏👏👏👏 Perfect.
Best version ever damn no one gets close
Precisely done
nobody does it better
I was just about to write the exact same words from the line below mine..... With the addition that your pauses and high and low , apart the ultra clear notes , shows that the sound coms from inside you, almost blending into another dimension. Well done.
Soulful..
You are really a master!
Bien hecho!
The master! It doesn’t get better than this.
Wow!!!!
The best rendition among all the players that I heard in youtube. Fantastic!
@@TyeAustinGuitarnah this one is just better
I prefer Manuel Barrueco's a bit more overall...
A true master of this magnificent instrument!!
Exelent😮
many thanks for this superb video. Amazing.
A masterful rendition.
Fantastic master, congratulations, you're the bes
this is the first person I've seen play this piece of art on a single beat without varying the BPM goat🐐
exactly! Perfection
That's not any good from a classical perspective...
in any case, you are wrong, there are subtle tempo and dynamic changes which, of course, make the piece more expressive.
In music "perfection" is failing miserably
Es una interpretación muy personal ,singular diferente pero explendida ,magnífica
Plenty of rubato here
Great interpretation. The tempo and phrasing fit better after the intro.
Wonderful playing. I personally like Parkening's interpretation the most. It's on another level when it comes to technique and expressiveness. Very moving
Great 👍🌹
Great yeahh
Buenísima interpretación de ésta gran pieza de Tárrega.
I've heard Capricho Árabe done by many very good guitar players, but David Russell's I think is the best. He puts a ton of soul in it. I like it more than Andres Segovia's.
Grande David Russell!
Superb playing! I love this piece and have heard Paola Hermosin play this many times on her RUclips channel. It's well worth checking out.
Wonderful!
Maravilloso
omg, never seen him playing capricho arabe in live,thankss guitar masterrs
Mi melodía favorita del gran Francisco Tarrega.
Fantastic
excellent video young man :)
Amazing 😮
Masterful.
Fantastic :)
Love the chosen tempo and rubato intro
Magnifica interpretaçao.❤
Bravo bravo
Es uno de los mejores guitarristas de la actualidad
Sin duda alguna, al escucharlo te enteras, y ni hablar de la técnica de ambas manos, me impresiona la mano izquierda, simplemente increíblemente!
Incrível o poder sonoro desse violão, verdade obra de arte. Por favor alguém sabe a assinatura do violão?
Excelente
Великолепно сыграно!
Buenísimo
Divino, no me canso de escucharlo, también por Alexandra Whittingham, Gracias.
Precioso.
