    Being a flamenco guitarist I should not comment but I like very much how David Russell makes this more like a song or lament rather than a jumping dance. Sorry if I get it wrong.

    one of the best interpretations. David the master!

    I'm no expert by any stretch, but to me this is the finest iteration that I have ever heard. Rich nuance with perfect balance and playful embellishment...just beautifully done

      I completely agree. David Russell is one of the best masters who knows the secret of sound

      Listen to Mauel Barrueco's version... it's another very sublime version.

    • @CroquetaNinjaTV
      @CroquetaNinjaTV Před 6 měsíci

      In reality, he has managed to turn a beautiful ober full of emotion into something boring and lacking in expression. Too slow in many parts. It breaks the rhythm and the charm. I'm sure he is a master at playing other kinds of classics, but this piece is not that. I let you here a couple examples of people with more ore less technic, but with feeling.

      czcams.com/video/f4CzrXRcDjk/video.htmlsi=sqzaTtEj-JjtoKcX. Try this by a pupil of Tarrega’s played without nails, like the Maestro would have played it. Naturally the audio isn’t all that great but listen to the phrasing and appreciate the virtuosity.

    • @steffanfockenssf
      @steffanfockenssf Před 6 měsíci

      Verry well done , but i believe if you give him a 300k classical guitar , the special ones . it would sound 100× deeper with reasonance ... wich does great on theyse songs.

    Not only played magnificently by a true artist of the classical guitar, but a true, caring gentleman, as well. I was fortunate to meet him in the 1990's in Michigan and was such a nice man, very unassuming and kind.

      That's not any good from a classical perspective...
      in any case, you are wrong, there are subtle tempo and dynamic changes which, of course, make the piece more expressive.
      In music "perfection" is failing miserably

  • @RNicolasRuvalcaba
    @RNicolasRuvalcaba Před 9 měsíci +11

    BRAVISSIMO!!! I've been listening to this piece for 40 years and playing it for over 20 years, it's very rare to hear someone that plays it correctly and you absolutely nailed it. Judging by some of your tempo choices on certain phrases it sounds like you might be familiar with the same Segovia rendition that I grew up listening to. This is also one of my favorite Spanish encores 😉

    Man the timing, the subtle alteration of it, pausing ever so slightly at just the right moment. Technically perfect but artistically beyond perfect. What instrument was he playing, it sounds amazing? This piece in particular demands an instrument with good bass and this instrument has that.
