    Absolutely brilliant interpretation in a beautiful setting. Technically perfect (with nice trills vintage Russell), played in the contemplative mood (prelude, fugue, sarabande) that this suite deserves and, judging from the position of the capodastro in the right key as well: C minor (instead of the usual A minor transcriptions). Is David Russell setting a new standard here, after the historic Bach recordings of John Williams and Julian Bream?

    • @louvanveen4115
      @louvanveen4115 Před 2 lety +13

      Agree! Although Galbraith's interpretation is also stunning. This is better than bream or Williams!

      No point in using a capo unless the guitarist is playing with other people.

      @@johnplunkett Well, OK. Julian Bream's impressive interpretation made me study the 997 prelude and fugue myself, John Williams's Bach suites are indeed the unsurpassed 'top' thanks to his superhuman technique and virtuosity, and Monno's 997 prelude and fugue (which I discovered last year) are gems. So let's say: a new standard for today (it *is* a brilliant and highly enjoyable interpretation by a master), also because of the combination with the beautiful setting in Portugal. As for sight-reading: I guess he does it as a memory help. The pieces are too difficult to 'sight read': you have to learn them by heart (own experience).
