In recognition of his great talent and his international career, he was named a Fellow of The Royal Academy of Music in London in 1997.
In May 2003 he was bestowed the great honor of being made "adopted son" of Es Migjorn, the town in Minorca where he grew up. Later the town named a street after him, "Avinguda David Russell".
In November 2003 he was given the Medal of Honor of the Conservatory of the Balearics.
After winning the grammy award, the town of Nigrán in Spain where he resides, gave him the silver medal of the town in an emotional ceremony.
During his studies at the Royal Academy, David Russell won twice the Julian Bream Guitar Prize. Later he won numerous international competitions, including the Andrés Segovia Competition , the José Ramírez Competition and Spain's prestigious Francisco Tárrega Competition .

The New York Times wrote about his performance: "... Mr. Russell made his mastery evident without ever deviating from an approach that places musical values above mere display. It was apparent to the audience throughout the recital that Mr. Russell possesses a talent of extraordinary dimension".
Upon hearing play in London, Andrés Segovia wrote: "My congratulations on your musicality and guitaristic technique". - Hudba
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!
The Balance of Left and Right Hand is absolutely incredible and a tone to die for.
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 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❣👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I’ve listened to him this year in concert in Milan with this program. He’s a huge artist and a lovely human being 👍🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
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
Mr Russel is a giant guitarist with an excellent technic and an excellent nuance as well. Thanks for uploading.
David's playing is breathtaking and spectacular.
Прекрасно!
El magico maestro David Russell, me declaro siempre fan de tu gran sonido, mis profundas felicitaciones y un agradecimiento muy grande por tu aportacion. ❤
Thank you so much, maestro David Russell, Maria, and Altamira Guitars for putting together this nice video recording on CZcams. I especially enjoyed the sprightly and elegant piece by Fernando Sor which, for me, is the jewel in the crown of this wonderful concert!
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
Simply the best. No others need apply...
Mr. Russell, you are my favourite by far! Thank you.
El Rey David, una vez más, demuestra que es de los guitarristas actuales el número 1. Bravo, 👏
Unbelievable! Thank you David, again a mind blowing performace.
You play very beautifully and with a very fine and sensitive feeling. I like it. Thank you. Kenneth Olofsson Sweden
Thank you for this performance! Always a privilege to hear David play.
David, you are bringing joy to those around you. Thank you.
brilliant concert by maestro David Russell, great selection of music, loved it
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.
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
Technically and musically brilliant, bravo👋👋
Wonderfully played by a master guitarist!
Thank you, David, and God bless!
David Russell is GOAT for me.
Il est comme le bon vin ! M. Segovia, là haut doit être fière. Merci David 👍
What a pleasure! Social media allows us to experience great things that we couldn’t have 15 years ago.
Amazing. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to watch and hear this. ♥
The highest goal of music is to connect one's soul to their divine nature, not entertainment.

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”
Semplicemente. Straordinario
DOS MARAVILLAS : FERNANDO SOR Y DAVID RUSSELL .
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
It is amazing! What a crystal sound ! Muchas gracias maestro!
I am glad I got to see one of the greatest classical guitar players in the world back in college.
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!
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.
Legend. Beautiful playing as always ❤
Qué estupenda ejecución. Gracias por tanto talento, maestro.
Did anybody else hear Lagrima at 2:18
jajajs true!!
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.
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.

Great guitarrist!❤
My all time favourite guitarist.
Magnifique. Que ces compositions sont belles ! Merci M. Russell.
Dos cosas he admirado siempre de David Russell, un gigante de la guitarra y un ser humano admirablemente humilde !! mi total respeto !!
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"?
Gracias Maestro.
Bravo bravo bravoooooo king David. A super maestro de la guitarra
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Legendary guitarist
Fluente, tecnicamente perfetto, interpretazione fedele, tocco straordinario, assenza di inutili barocchismi (quando il pezzo non lo richiede). In due tre parole : Maestro David Russell
Très belle musique, très haut niveau de jeu. 👍🏼🤍

The great David Russell WOW !
Maestro David, thank you for such lovely repertoire.

Lovely as always, David!
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 !
WOW. Fantastic perfection of extremely difficult repertoire. Pure David Russell!
