Music reviews of David Russell plays 19th Century Music
Music Review: Great recording of little-known music
Rating: 5 Stars
David Russell is a classical guitarist whose star has only recently begin to shine as brightly as it should, but this early CD of it shows that he should have been up there alongside Bream and Williams ages ago.
The music in this CD are from fairly obscure composers, even among classical guitarist, but they are all immediately accessible and enjoyable. In particular, the music of Mertz and Regondi deserve a far greater exposure, for they are beautiful and romantic compositions. In particular, Regondi's Reverie Nocturne is a piece which reminds me a lot of Chopin's piano Ballades in mood and temperament, and for me this piece alone makes the album worth buying.
The playing by Russell is so good that it seems to defy what I consider possible on the guitar at times, and this combined with this tasteful interpretations show the music in the best possible light.
If you're looking for a recording of non-Spanish, romantic classical guitar music, then look no further.
Description of David Russell plays 19th Century Music
When David Russell made this debut CD (he had done one LP earlier), he was a young musician on his way up. Now, he records for Telarc and is quite well known. GHA, a Belgian label specializing in guitar music, has done well to keep this CD available. The music has more substance than you will find on the average collection of guitar miscellany (especially Mertz's Elegie, quite a touching piece), and the congruent yet varied romantic program makes for good listening. Russell plays superbly, making sure that the pieces sound different from each other, and his guitar is realistically captured by the recording. - -Leslie GerberGeneral CDs
