Russell Plays Rosheger

[leorozas]

This is just amazing! Great music by Rosheger.

[dizzyvonclutch]

Right after i watch it again i will practice.

[dizzyvonclutch]

This is the best 12 min. if had in a long time. It is Magnifico! Thank you, i am really inspired now i will probably play guitar 6 hrs. or so.

[ricard]

does anybody know the full name of the pieces?

[Orange1117]

does anyone knows who made his guitar?? it sounds great :)

[simonshusse]

@Orange1117 It's most likely built by Matthias Dammann. A now world famous luthier of the new school. Many poeple like this sound but I prefer the old masters(Fleta, Friedrich, Romanillos and so on) with less percussion and more romance. But Matthias Dammann guitars is top three in the world today. The other two would be Smallman and the Swedish luthier Per Hallgren. imho :-)

[Orange1117]

@simonshusse Thank you :)

[albert19881106]

whats the name of first piece??????

cual es el nombre de la primera pieza?????

Qual è il nome del primo pezzo????

[gulligitar]

@albert19881106

The first piece is simply called Waltz No.7, The second is Lullaby to wake up with and the third is Good luck waltz. These songs are on David's CD 'For David'. A great CD, I highly recommend it. I'm still not sure where you can find the scores for these pieces but I'm dying to play Waltz No. 7. A totally bad ass piece.

@albert19881106 waltz no 7

[Eliteguitarschool]

I got a copy of these pieces as well as many others in 1996 from Philip. The whole collection in his own writing. He handed them to me over dinner. Personal notes written through out. Commenting on friends etc... "Bring the back tomorrow" he said trusting me to do so. I did. His originals were stolen many years later. I had an archive from that day. His trusting deed was repaid because I had the only copies in the world and still do. I treasure from an amazing person and composer. God Bless PR!!

three NEGATIV ? They are pure idiots or they like only Rap? At least, please, don't vote!!!!!!

[yuvalll35]

God blessed him

[kd12121010]

the supremacy of Rosheger is evident to those with ears to listen

[willychillyLA]

the first part sounds very jewish-old-styled.

[johnmk19]

Музыка очень интересная, первый раз слышу этого композитора.

[mcmurtryfan]

I agree, these Rosheger compositions aren't the most interesting compositions on the "For David" CD. But they compliment some of the more energetic, frenetic compositions on the CD. As for classical pianists, I've heard many light pieces played at piano recitals, and by serious classical players ... It's not that unusual. It's part of the entertainment.

[Boldstrummer]

Philip is an awesome guitar composer.

Such incredible feeling comes through his music.

Philip is in Berkley CA

He is teaching.

(510) 493-5936

[Boldstrummer]

Phillip is channeling some great music.

Glad to see that he is getting the recognition he deserves.

[zak2]

Does anyone know where to find the scores for these pieces?

And if you don't know already, David just released a recording of these piece on his new cd "For David".

[leforain]

Guitar solo in San Francisco has published these pieces

[CarlosMacMartin]

Look at the Left Hand Presentations!

[peplicus]

These are very nice pieces. But they are like Jorge Morel´s or F. Hand´s pieces. They´re elegant pieces that don´t add to current guitar repertoire (which is already stagnant).

[CarlosMacMartin]

I've given Philip's music to a number of

guitarists FOR FREE and they never played the

music! A bunch of shameless cowards who listen

to their teachers and peers,rather than decide

for themselves what to play.

[CarlosMacMartin]

You're a genuis and have stated a true fact!

Stagnant Guitar Repertoire! Of course there's plenty of good music by composers like Hand,

Rosheger,and Domeniconi to be explored.Cheers!

[higarmi]

Are you crazy?, What do you mean with "Do not add to current guitar repertoire??". I have played the frst of these pieces in concerts and I think they are better than many of the already established pieces. We are not talking about a Beethoven kind of innovator but for sure Rosheger is a great composer for the guitar.

[GuitarOfTruth]

I have to agree with peplicus. We need new pieces and it is great that Russell is championing these works. That said, we already have a lot of these sweet elegant pieces. I cant really imagine a classical pianist playing music like this and get taken seriously.

[peplicus]

Russell is great, But no tone color ever. However, great dynamics and a big sound second only to Narciso Yepes, I think. But I´m a checker player and a fisherman from Brazil (Rio).

[kuan12345]

Do you know what the score says or what the composer wants?

[mikhailasanovic]

2.08 theres a lovely change in tone colour

[bakdgreat]

what is the best way to effortlessly memorize sheet music

[Kaitanyk]

Haha effortlessly might be pushing it, I don't think anything about music is effortless, but there are some different tricks you can try to help with memorization

[mikhailasanovic]

break it down and remember it in segments. practice specific segments in your practice sessions, specifically the ones you cant remember as well and focus on the most frequent fuck-up points!

[gtrs4life]

Rosheger is a superb composer. His music must be included in programs more often. He is among the best!

[higarmi]

Wonderful versions of wonderful music. I had the pleasure of meeting P. Rosheger in Berkeley, CA. His own life and love for music is presented in his music. He deserves recognition as one of the great contemporary guitar composers.

[CarlosMacMartin]

He definately deserves recognition & a huge

art grant!There are plenty of good players out in the scene that should take a look at

his unpublished works.Unfortunatley,there's

lots of politics in the scene & many of the

students and their teachers are "sheeple" not

people.They need the approval of the masses

to do anything these days.That's why I can't

stand the classical guitar scene!I personally

have given people Philip's music FOR FREE &

many have not done anything with the music!

[Rexicano]

I didn't know that great tennis player also played guitar!

Hey, why doesn't he wear his headband when he plays music too?

[slmaggot]

wow thats genious I love his playing ....haha I laughed beacause between the second and third song a lot of person caughed ...it was kind of strange...hahah

[sologuitardeath]

This is the only video I've seen where he plays with his Greg Byers guitar.

[inigo2005]

that's so amazing !

[jaangunnar]

great playing- this is not an easy piece. Amazing control and presentation of a clear and clean melody line despite crazy left hand work!

[lute323]

Nice pieces. I feel very comfortable with David's mellow tone. A very goooooood combinations bet a great composer and a superb musician.

[Olaf357]

David Russell is great.

[zazzidog]

Just great Dave!!!!

I'll see you perform live in New York City!!!

Can't wait!!!!

[ricard]

does anybody know the name of the first piece he plays?

[Gergoool]

That is Waltz No. 7

[rschultz]

He's such a great guitar player. Beautifull tone, great articulations, and his interpretations are always brilliant. That's David Russell.

[BFGUITAR]

Amazing!

Try pausing the video until it all loads. You should then be able to listen to it in its' entirety.
