I remember seeing him when I was a teenager 25 years ago in San Francisco in a premiere performance. He blew us all away so much in the first piece, he actually was apologetic that it was too intense! He is something to behold in a live performance.
@GyveTurckee I just have the CD that it is on which is called "Leyenda" (oddly), but I play it on here... and I have seen one played on a 11 string (which it was written for) by Jouni Stenroos
@Zorguel I would prefer to see a 6-string version despite for what it's written. I have an edition with which my professor worked with Russell in a lesson so I have his 6-string fingerings but I also wanted to hear his interpretation. Could you send me a link to where you've posted it?
this is not a great preformance. it is not a particularly hard piece and hes messed up many many times. hes a great player but i dont think this preformance deserves such high appraisal. it could have been done much better. listen to cellists play this. this was written fr the cello for a reason. with the cello it is easiest to give weight to certain note. this piece was intended for that. it is possible for guitar to do it. look up gabriel bianco.
Crystal clear, luminscent Bach. You can't get much better. I'll have to check out more Russell. almost hard to believe its all comming out of one guitar at times.
His technical ability is simply amazing, that said; not at one point did i feel as though i was lissening to less an expressive bach interpretation than an exercise in virtuosity:)
bravo¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

He's way better than I'll ever be but overrated in my opinion. Yamashita slays him in every way.

Does anyone know if there is a Russell recording of Manjón's Leyenda and Aire Vasco anywhere on youtube or otherwise?
