His tone is perfect, and that double top guitar just sings. He's the Master.

David Russel plays the most heartfelt version of this song, in my opinion. So incredibly beautiful

[Svetlana-tw]

The guitar in David Russels hands speaks in a voice of special beauty, strength and warmth .Thank you .

I love the gentle and laid-back mood of this performance. Some guitarists play Caprichio Arabe as if it's supposed to make you nervous, and they lose all the playfulness just to achieve accuracy and speed.

This is the definitive version of this piece. Russell really knows how to make guitar pieces come to life.

Extraordinario David Russell. Uno de los más grandes intérpretes en la historia de la guitarra clásica española.

You have to have visited southern spain in summer to feel this piece. He plays it so well like he has actually spent his whole live in Malaga, Cordoba or Grenada. Masterful. Listening to this interpretation takes me back to a wonderful summer in Andalucia.
