    DR mentions his friend - and erstwhile duo partner - Dennis Milne, double-bass virtuoso and composer, who was tragically killed in a car accident in New Mexico, where he established a chamber orchestra. A prolific composer (including a 'concertino' for guitar) there was a danger that his works would be neglected, or worse, but his widow has donated scores to the 'Scottish Music Information Centre', Glasgow and perhaps double-bass players and chamber groups might find them worth investigating.

    I'd rather be taught by David Russell than Julian Bream any day. He lightens things and makes you WANT to learn, not compell you to play as Bream.Julian Bream nas put me off classical playing. I'd rather play the piano.

    • @galleryofguitar
      @galleryofguitar  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Terry, interesting observation, I would never naturally think of Bream as a teacher in the traditional sense. Inspiring and a great example of individual artistry yes, but looking to him as a teacher wouldn't be something I would do. Letting one personality put you off seems a little strange to me, there are many more exponents of the classical guitar who have a similar approach to David.
