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.
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
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!
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.
🌟 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. 🎨🎶
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.
@@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
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!
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.
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!
These suites should set the world on fire and bring joy to nations.Alas too few know what Mr. Russell has accomplished and the level he has reached.And so it goes.
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. ❤
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thank David; you have proved once again that you are the greatest guitarrist ever and I already knew that. Andres Segovia or Regino Sainz de la Maza only play4dnor recorded the reducir the Bourrees of the studies but never dare to play or recorded why of the suites. Your Ormantation in impecable, a dream. Still waiting for the Fourth suite and the violín and Cello, Suites, Partitas and Sontas. Please keep them coming, this is a document for future generations. Bravo Maestro. Bravo!
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
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.
The intro really set the mood and provided wonderful context to connect with the piece in a much better way. And what beautiful perfect technique!!! Bravo!!!!!
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
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.
I almost cried to watch and listening as such a beautiful performance. Perfect execution played with heart and emotions. A true legacy for all classical guitarists
Non ho parole. David Russell é il piú grande chitarrista di tutti i tempi. Persino il grande Segovia é abbondantemente surclassato da Russell. Grazie, Maestro, per tutto quello che ancora ci regali.
Phenomenal clarity! David is one of my favorite guitarists. There are so many great musicians out there and I’m thankful that TH-cam gives people a platform to put their music out there. Plus it gives us more access to the already accomplished musicians. Great playing of some beautiful music by Johann Sebastian Bach.
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 !!!!
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...
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!
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!

That’s true! But try to hear the version of Marcin Dylla! Superb
His tempo is insanely consistent, and somehow it's all so gentle
A man, his instrument and his soul, playing the best music! God bless the art! Without music, life has no rhythm... Or meaning!
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.

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...
I share the same feeling. Just a few years ago I didn't know of him.
David is the absolute best

Fantastic. No one does baroque ornamentation on guitar as cleanly, precisely, and with as much feeling as David Russell. Wonderful video.
