I could swear David grabs a tuner while he's playing just to look cool. I don't usually hear a difference, but I know he is correcting his string pitch legitimately on most occasions. He's such a fabulous entertainer and musician. It's funny to think about. I have met him and did 2 master classes with him.

Fiquei pasmo e estupefato na admiração suprema deste jovem violonista clássico, principalmente pelo seu movimento vivace de arpejos, é sem dúvida uma sumidade e eu gostaria que os anjos me iluminassem para tocar assim, mas a contemplação por enquanto já me realiza. Parabéns David Russel.
Every time when I listen David's play, I find something new. I heard this piece on CD and live many times, but this video sounds very vivid and fresh. Thank you showing us this precious video. His music is wonderful.
haven't been able to get this tune and feeling out of my head since i first heard it months ago now...beautiful piece of music played by an incredible musician...
I gotta say, I like the speed hes playing this piece at. This gives it the metal touch, along with his extremely aggressive picking he had back then. I really dont think he plays it that stressed because its so damn difficult, something that happens to most of us I guess, but because he just got a aggressive flow when he started to play. Long sentence....
Could you clarify a little bit here? Name the modern composers that create the "crap", and then name at least two modern composers that create something at least this good.
If you admit that you can not play it you shouldnt be telling others that can what they are doing wrong. There are so many wannabe guitar teachers and experts on youtube who constantly talk shit about other peoples performances without having the balls to post their own performances. People like this make me sick, and you wouldnt say it to his face, youtube shouldnt be an exception. ~Stand and deliver.
I'm sorry, but why is there even debate about whether he is a great player or not? He obviously is one of the top players in the world. I don't like to crush debate, but this one is a no-brainer. David is fantastic!
Veo que hay muchos calificadores y descalificadores , no parecen amantes de la musica , señores cada hombre es un universo y solo ´pude reflejar lo que hay en su interior , dos hombres con la misma escuela ejecutal la misma obra de modo diferentes , este es mejor este es peor , .señores son DI.FE-REN.-TES tanto cuesta entender la diversidad , parecen una reunion de vuidas !!!!!!aaaaayyyy!!! JulianBream es asi ,aaaayyy Williams es asa , lograr la solvencia tecnica con cualquier instrumento es muy trabajoso si se le suma sensibilidad artistica es el summum no todos lo logran esos que tanto califican quisiera oirlos tocar
This piece is an absolute referent for the classical guitar, and is so difficult that you will find few concert players that attempt it live. There is a version by Julian Bream that also is mind-boggling and a bit more lyrical. But after watching something like this marvel by David Russell I don´t really know whether to sit down to study or just give up on it and watch tv or something.
Aquí se ve a David Russell muy joven (como lo dice la presentación) haciendo esta obra de Aguado. Encuentro que es una excelente versión la de Russell.
The obvious is Julian Bream as a great Musician. Pavel Steidl being another one, perhaps my favourite guitarist/musician. He has so much passion for the guitar and music it's infections whenever you meet him, and you always go away and practice for about 6 hours after meeting him haha.
me gustaría saber que guitarra usa acá David russell y que maderas posee, es impresionante la duración de las notas y el cuerpo de cada una de ellas, obviamente ese sonido no se lo sacan todos los guitarristas es muy propio de el y es su merito.
I bet you don´t play the classical guitar. If you don´t hear that he´s a musically wonder, you should check your ears. He changes tone colour like no one else. He manages to let his only guitar sound like diffrent instruments or voices. He´s the best!
You R INSANE! Vai wouldn't even want any of Malm. because he would Shred his Head off.Vai is a Great Performer &Good Guitarist,Malmsteen is Regarded as One of the ELITE Guitarist on the Planet.Hell im a HUGE FAN of George Lynch and His SKILL Level is much Higher and more effecient than Vai. Vai is known more for performances than any words of GREAT GUITAR PLAYING! LYNCH is a LEGEND & Great Guitar Player,Right Now for the Past 5 years he's been on FIRE.All of the Mag. can't get enough of Him!
Is there some secret or mindset I could learn or discover that would help me understand all of the complexities of Classical Guitar? I see notes on a page that are hard to shape so quickly, I wish I could look past that.
@khvkhv Me gustaria saber cuales son los elementos mediante los cuales estableces que Bream es 10 veces mejor y Barrueco es 5. Es una afirmación un tanto atrevida pero me gustaría que me ilustraras.
can't understand why you say that. if you don't like his style, that's one thing and it's accepatable. but saying "MUCH better", that's just untrue and you have to show me some. i personally think this is one of the better pieces he plays, almost no errors, fine and comfortable interpretation, russell-like. i also say, that i like breams version better, but would never say that it is MUCH better then this one

@Rexicano mmm i hope your not one of the assess im referring to. To be an accomplished player like David,Takes a lot of time,you never stop learning the guitar.My Brother practices for 6 hours a day,i dont have that time to give to it,but it takes all that to do it.What can i say, enjoy what you hear.You can reach the same level takes time and deicacaisheon as Doug from the Queens would say.
Yes Segovia was the best in some eyes, and others no, however this isn't segovia. =) I beleive the names in the description. So critique him instead of someone not even mentioned in the vid.
accoustics too echoey in this room and the guitar is coming over toppy rather than a blending of base and treble... A very lovely piece of music and the guitarist also very accomplished.
MrBrownstone11654 Yes I do prefer Li Jie's interpretation. But as apluvtias pointed out, DR does look a bit young. If he were to do it again now it would probably be slower and more tasteful.
Dear JHotnuts - I am to old for fucking - I 49 years old, and Ihave another intersts in my life. One of these interests is guitar, more than 40 years. I visited lessons of solfeggio 35 years ago - and that is why I post my comment. Russel is good guitarist - so I beleive he can play it much better.
and if Yngwie met Segovia, he would bow in reverence, and the minute Andres saw him plug in he wouldnt think of him as a guitarist. I dont even think Malmsteens better than Vai.
Malmsteen is the Classical Master on Guitar. You and Hundreds of Millions of People should Know that if Anything and None of Malmsteen's Classical Playing Sounds Like Shit.He's a GOD of Classical.His Name should go down in the Books with all the Greats such as Bach,Beethovan,Mozart,etc.etc.
Chad Bedwell Yes, and the teacher of malmsteen was Chuck Norris. Why people so often put artists against each others...? They Both bring Beauty and Strenth in our heart. I feel grateful for this... we all should try to define ourself not by what we reject but by how open we can be to so different propositions of music... You're right : all the musiciens you name are wonderful guys with great talent and great respect. So is russell and Many others too. And they are all in debt with musicians of the past. And the Huge segovia was not right about electric guitar... but all this is only an opinion From an anonymous of the XXI ST century.
posting as a former member of the original Yngwie Malmsteen International Fan Club (who saw him when he was young and pretty), and also as someone who runs a classical guitar web site, i think you're just plain wrong -- YM isn't a classical guitarist, in fact there's no reason to think he's interested in the classical guitar (at least as 99.9% of classical guitarists understand the term) -- no one disputes his love of classical music -- and of course he mixes in lots of classical riffs and arpeggios when he's playing -- and sure, he occasionally picks up an acoustic and plink plonks his way through the intro to one of JSB's simpler tunes -- and yes, he has written a concerto for electric guitar and orchestra -- but that doesn't make him a classical guitarist
Superb performance! Perfect in every way. Love the 'crispness' of each note. Such talent and this was 15 yrs ago❣👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❣
I could swear David grabs a tuner while he's playing just to look cool. I don't usually hear a difference, but I know he is correcting his string pitch legitimately on most occasions.

It always amazes me how people memorize such huge pieces.
Magistrale interprétation d'une oeuvre grandiose! David est au top !
Fiquei pasmo e estupefato na admiração suprema deste jovem violonista clássico, principalmente pelo seu movimento vivace de arpejos, é sem dúvida uma sumidade e eu gostaria que os anjos me iluminassem para tocar assim, mas a contemplação por enquanto já me realiza. Parabéns David Russel.

haven't been able to get this tune and feeling out of my head since i first heard it months ago now...beautiful piece of music played by an incredible musician...
Ouço esta interpretação a anos!!! Nao consigo ouvir outra...Russel é Russel, esbanja talento! !!
Russell ... genialmente magico.
Fantástico...a música e o intérprete...bravooooooo
Impecable la versión del maestro David Russell.
The brilliance and beauty of his playing shine through the terrible quality of the recorded sound.
Shaping and colouring the music so beautifully...
A young David displays his guitar artistry!
Clive Davies
Absolutely superb! Crafted to flawless perfection by the great master, David Russell!
the best classical guitarist of our time.
infinite thanks to the guy that record it!
as a child my father gave me the musical methods of Aguado and is the best for studies and advance music like the one we are lestening to.
Isn't it about time he gets his own DVD??? I would pre-order that in a heartbeat.
que composición tan maravillosa
I gotta say, I like the speed hes playing this piece at. This gives it the metal touch, along with his extremely aggressive picking he had back then. I really dont think he plays it that stressed because its so damn difficult, something that happens to most of us I guess, but because he just got a aggressive flow when he started to play. Long sentence....
you'll only meet like 5 people in your lifetime who'll appreciate how fucking brilliant this is
Not even classical guitarists love this stuff anymore. they are all into the nonsense modern crap.
yeah... except I think it's more than 5....
Could you clarify a little bit here? Name the modern composers that create the "crap", and then name at least two modern composers that create something at least this good.
He is a legend no doubt..
Stop lying to make overstatements and irrelevant assertions. I find this kind of dumb comment in almost every video.
Merveilleux guitariste bravo maestro
aaahhhh beautiful playing!!!
un lindo sonido realmente David is great!
Bravo!
Great! Love it!
Vey beautiful!
If you admit that you can not play it you shouldnt be telling others that can what they are doing wrong.

amazing, superb, fantastic!
Maravillosa obra
Just great!..
fantastico!

russell at his very best...
Inspiring, artistic, and incredibly musical, as usual.
AWSOME YA! THIS ROCKS

even more perfect at this song is i emanuele buono!!!!
exelent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Nothing is impossible!

Alguien sabe el año de grabación? Somebody knows the year of recording?
amazing........sallluuuutt
I don't think he was rushing the piece, he has His own style, but the best interpretation of rondo is in my opinion the one of Julian Bream
i want to play this i m not a fan at all but this is magnificient maybe in 200 years i can play this
me gustaría saber que guitarra usa acá David russell y que maderas posee, es impresionante la duración de las notas y el cuerpo de cada una de ellas, obviamente ese sonido no se lo sacan todos los guitarristas es muy propio de el y es su merito.

He looks like he was a teenager here! Anyone know what yr. it was and what the DVD might be called?
ahhhhh ce niveau et trop loin pour nous :( ca me rend un peu triste ^^
parfait russell 5*
He really gets the lines to sing, in spite of all the hurry
Where could I get the sheet music for this?
You R INSANE! Vai wouldn't even want any of Malm. because he would Shred his Head off.Vai is a Great Performer &Good Guitarist,Malmsteen is Regarded as One of the ELITE Guitarist on the Planet.Hell im a HUGE FAN of George Lynch and His SKILL Level is much Higher and more effecient than Vai. Vai is known more for performances than any words of GREAT GUITAR PLAYING! LYNCH is a LEGEND & Great Guitar Player,Right Now for the Past 5 years he's been on FIRE.All of the Mag. can't get enough of Him!
a phrase typically used in reference to someone who focuses on the negative.
estas chavo
How are his scales so damn clean
yea well wheres your video?
where's yours?
why is there always someone coughing haha
russell is gooood
Is there some secret or mindset I could learn or discover that would help me understand all of the complexities of Classical Guitar? I see notes on a page that are hard to shape so quickly, I wish I could look past that.
I like to try to play this song and imagine i can play it this fast. Often works me into a sweat lol.
Do both! :)
i can see that, i suppose. tone is often lost in comments....so, lets have a group hug and move on. ;-)
4:42 best
I wander if Aguado could play this piece as well David?
Its funny, I was just listening the begining of that part, and you´re right its the same singing.
Wawel Krakow
@khvkhv Me gustaria saber cuales son los elementos mediante los cuales estableces que Bream es 10 veces mejor y Barrueco es 5. Es una afirmación un tanto atrevida pero me gustaría que me ilustraras.
BREAMS VERSION IS AWESOME TOO
everyone who loves really guitar , check out Lenny breau
I've got some Lenny Breau!!! WOOT WOOT!!! I can almost perform 5 O'clock Bells... on a good day..
can't understand why you say that. if you don't like his style, that's one thing and it's accepatable. but saying "MUCH better", that's just untrue and you have to show me some. i personally think this is one of the better pieces he plays, almost no errors, fine and comfortable interpretation, russell-like. i also say, that i like breams version better, but would never say that it is MUCH better then this one
@thalkettoth
Can't disagree with that.
A little wrist shake at 3:50
Would love to see you playing this piece, like 2% of this performance..
Hey calm down, he is not complaining about his performance, he just noticed a interesting fact, thats all.
Onur Koc sar casm.
Le versioni che si trovano in rete sono tutte tagliate e pulite dagli errori. Questa è l'unica a tutto campo, con una sola camera e senza interruzioni. È magnifica ed unica.
this is an extremely difficult piece dude...basically an exhibition of virtuosity from the late classical early romantic era by the ingenious aguado
also i think he got tired at some moment, you can see him waving his hand when he can, but hey, this piece is damn long AND difficult
Malmsteen Plays this in His Sleep One Handed!
a really fun piece to play...transcription available at classclef dot comm
нефига чувак на гитаре жот
@vaibanez17 practice it as slow as a snail
Excellent as usual, although I must say Julian Bream plays with much better phrasing in this piece.
@Rexicano mmm i hope your not one of the assess im referring to. To be an accomplished player like David,Takes a lot of time,you never stop learning the guitar.My Brother practices for 6 hours a day,i dont have that time to give to it,but it takes all that to do it.What can i say, enjoy what you hear.You can reach the same level takes time and deicacaisheon as Doug from the Queens would say.
anyone can play in a church. only a few can play in museums
No.. but seriously - of all the potential guitarists.. KIRK HAMMET?!
You guys are judjing a little harshley. DR looks like he's still a teenager in this video.
Yes Segovia was the best in some eyes, and others no, however this isn't segovia. =) I beleive the names in the description. So critique him instead of someone not even mentioned in the vid.
accoustics too echoey in this room and the guitar is coming over toppy rather than a blending of base and treble... A very lovely piece of music and the guitarist also very accomplished.
Nice. But next time try to play it as it is written. Check it on Li Jie video.
MrBrownstone11654
Yes I do prefer Li Jie's interpretation. But as apluvtias pointed out, DR does look a bit young. If he were to do it again now it would probably be slower and more tasteful.

Nicoguitar78, listen/ watch David's video Pasacaglia_handel and tell me he is more technician than musician. Pooh!

Segovia was the best.
i wish the quaility would be better
im betting your one of those
'GLASS IS HALF-EMPTY" types
