I first saw David Russell play at a Church in Prestiegn Powys Wales on the border of Herefordshire when he was a young man with a mop of unruly blond hair, So lovely to see his growth into the Maestro of Music that he is today, may he live long and provide such wonderful music for many years. After suffering a stroke in 2022 I took up learning classical guitar again in April 23, after one year of work I hope to play several small pieces on my 80th birthday later this year, music is a healer, no doubt about it best regards
I've followed maestro Russell's career since the early 80s, he never ceases to impress, what an astonishing performance! Thank you David for bringing myself and countless others so much joy and happiness over the years, bravo!
Сердечно благодарю дорогой и уважаемый маэстро за ваш талант музыку, что наслаждается мой слух мою душу. Поклон вам сердечный и наилучшие пожелания. Храри вас Творец на многие лета
I just realized the concert is almost over. It is as though time rushes by me when David is playing. David, I never grow tired of listening to you play. Absolutely stunning! You bring these compositions to life again. You are magnificent! You play so effortlessly and masterfully. Thank you❣👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much, maestro David Russell, Maria, and Altamira Guitars for putting together this nice video recording on UA-cam. I especially enjoyed the sprightly and elegant piece by Fernando Sor which, for me, is the jewel in the crown of this wonderful concert!
El magico maestro David Russell, me declaro siempre fan de tu gran sonido, mis profundas felicitaciones y un agradecimiento muy grande por tu aportacion. ❤
Prime Example of someone unique with a good attitude to life…….a wonderful passion and relentless dedication in his search for beauty in expression…..thank you David
Thanks for posting this! What a beautiful tone David produces. In the vain hope I have shaped my nails like his (ramped, triangular shape). I don’t think anyone comes close tp him in playing baroque repertoire on the guitar: just so perfectly paced and polished in the Kuhnau.That looks like his Dammann rather than an Altamira though!
Дорогой дядюшка Дэвид! Премного и сердечно вам благодарен за ваши великолепные концерты и игре на классической испанской гитаре. Жаль, что не могу уже никогда побывать на ваших концертах. Остаётся их слушать в ютубе. С благодарностью, уважением и христианской молитвенной любовью с берегов седого Иртыша
I didn't realize David Russell had stood #1 among all those that performed at the most prestigious classical guitar competitions in the world. I guess none of us should be surprised he is very inspiring and brilliant 👏
If there is a better classical guitarist in our world, would somebody please tell me who it is? I'm not trying to start a competition . . . and I believe there are many fine players . . . but I haven't heard anyone like David Russell -- complete technical mastery, and utterly musical . . .
Fluente, tecnicamente perfetto, interpretazione fedele, tocco straordinario, assenza di inutili barocchismi (quando il pezzo non lo richiede). In due tre parole : Maestro David Russell
Your Morel 2nd movement is by far the best playing of that piece there has ever been. What an expressive piece of music that was beautifully written and performed here. Thank you
*Excelente concerto Maestro David Russel.* *Parabéns pela seleção de música, mas a última desse concerto é encantadora.* *Já tive o privilégio de vê-lo pessoalmente em concerto no Masp em São Paulo no movimento violão.* *Deus lhe abençoe sempre!*
Stunning playing as always from the great maestro! Particularly appreciated the production value, quality of recording and multiple camera angles, mixing great musical content with pleasing audio and visuals. My only complaint is I had ads inferior mid-way through some pieces, about the most unpleasant thing that could happen during such a lovely performance in our living room. That and I feel the reverb was mixed in a little too much and was a little long and artificial sounding for the space he was in. Best wishes from Scotland!
Браво маэстро. Милостивый государь! Вы один из немногих музыкантов классической гитары, вызываете своей игрой и исполнением восхищение и наслаждение. Всегда, уже на протяжении 15 лет стараюсь слушать все ваши концерты и исполнения. Благодарю Бога, ваших почтенных родителей и учителей, подаривших такого великого музыканта миру. Храни вас Христос и Творец на многие лета. С почтением и уважением к вашей милости ваш А.С.Д.

To play this clean with zero mistakes and still be lyrical and musical is incredible . It takes amazing talent and years of playing to be this good.
I've followed maestro Russell's career since the early 80s, he never ceases to impress, what an astonishing performance! Thank you David for bringing myself and countless others so much joy and happiness over the years, bravo!
The Balance of Left and Right Hand is absolutely incredible and a tone to die for.
I love everything about David's playing. He really is a maestro. And wow, these Altamira guitars sound great.
David's playing is breathtaking and spectacular.
Прекрасно!
Mr. Russell, you are my favourite by far! Thank you.
David Russell is GOAT for me.
El Rey David, una vez más, demuestra que es de los guitarristas actuales el número 1. Bravo, 👏
Mr Russel is a giant guitarist with an excellent technic and an excellent nuance as well. Thanks for uploading.
I always relax when he plays. He is my favorite🎶
I’ve listened to him this year in concert in Milan with this program. He’s a huge artist and a lovely human being 👍🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Il est comme le bon vin ! M. Segovia, là haut doit être fière. Merci David 👍
My all time favourite guitarist.

Increíble concierto, Maestro 👏👏👏
Gracias maestro por difundir tan excelente interpretación. Y a María Jesús por la calidad de la grabación.
Wonderfully played by a master guitarist!
Thank you, David, and God bless!
Thanks David Russell, just love Sor. He was the greatest composer of that first era of the Guitar.
Yeah, Sor was a show off and probably swayed that princess to bed lol
Prime Example of someone unique with a good attitude to life…….a wonderful passion and relentless dedication in his search for beauty in expression…..thank you David
Unbelievable! Thank you David, again a mind blowing performace.
Gracias Maestro.
What a pleasure! Social media allows us to experience great things that we couldn’t have 15 years ago.
Thank you for this performance! Always a privilege to hear David play.
brilliant concert by maestro David Russell, great selection of music, loved it
Technically and musically brilliant, bravo👋👋
Legend. Beautiful playing as always ❤
One of the best guitarist in the world and the most humble artist I've ever known! Thanks!
David proves that if you are truly gifted you don’t have to play the big “I AM”
Thanks for posting this! What a beautiful tone David produces. In the vain hope I have shaped my nails like his (ramped, triangular shape). I don’t think anyone comes close tp him in playing baroque repertoire on the guitar: just so perfectly paced and polished in the Kuhnau.That looks like his Dammann rather than an Altamira though!
It is amazing! What a crystal sound ! Muchas gracias maestro!

Escucharte y verte tocar, siempre fué un regalo de la vida, para los que aman la guitarra! Gracias Maestro..
I am glad I got to see one of the greatest classical guitar players in the world back in college.
Amazing. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to watch and hear this. ♥
Wonderful! thank you David and Altamira Guitars
I was so privileged to have seen him perform a recital at the University of Chicago back around ‘90. He’s a true consummate professional.
Semplicemente. Straordinario
DOS MARAVILLAS : FERNANDO SOR Y DAVID RUSSELL .
Qué estupenda ejecución. Gracias por tanto talento, maestro.
I didn't realize David Russell had stood #1 among all those that performed at the most prestigious classical guitar competitions in the world. I guess none of us should be surprised he is very inspiring and brilliant 👏
I like putting it in a way everyone can comprehend - David Russell is the guy you wanna see.
The working David's phenomenal.
If there is a better classical guitarist in our world, would somebody please tell me who it is? I'm not trying to start a competition . . . and I believe there are many fine players . . . but I haven't heard anyone like David Russell -- complete technical mastery, and utterly musical . . .
Deniz Azabagic is my favorite:)
Marcia Dyla is pretty close.
Depends on the repertoire. For J.S Bach. David Russell Is my favorite.

Up there with the best👍
WOW. Fantastic perfection of extremely difficult repertoire. Pure David Russell!
I'm on about my 10th watch of this and still finding it impossible to find the words to describe how incredible this is
How about "incredible"?
One can learn so much about how to play classical guitar from watching this one video. Fantastic!
Your Morel 2nd movement is by far the best playing of that piece there has ever been. What an expressive piece of music that was beautifully written and performed here. Thank you
Wow, this is amazing, like a private concert! Thank you maestro.
Guitarras por el mundo. Todas suenan bonito y nos dan un gran placer !
Thank you
Espectacular! El Morceau de concierto opus 54 de Fernando Sor es fuera de serie interpretado por David Russell.

Eres realmente un gigante de la guitarra. You are truly a guitar giant.

Amazing. Enjoyed this. Great tone throughout. (Listen to Julian Bream play this to hear a different take.)
Going to see him perform these (and some more) live in under two weeks from now - this is now the official hype video for me :)

Senssacional
Thank you!! And so good sound!!
Wow. Unbelievable playing.
