4.0 out of 5 starsGood recording overall, a few issues
By Sor_Fingers on November 6, 2006
Probably one of the best things about this recording is that its a great collection of most of Torroba's great solo guitar music. Russell hits all the important pieces and plays them all with flair and accuracy. Russell's playing is very expressive and he tends to capture the esssence of the music. The playing is clean, beautiful and precise. Good tone, dynamic contrast, all the basics that guitar students spend years perfecting. However, Russell does play a little too heavy sometimes. I like to think that if Torroba were playing electric guitar today he would sound a lot like Pat Metheny with a little Spanish flavor. His music should never be too bombastic or heavy. Not to say that Russell never lightens up, but he doesn't always back off when he needs to. Some of the slower, more lyrical Castles of Spain especially aren't as effective as they could be. The other issue about this recording is that the track listing is WRONG! It should go like this:

Sonatina for Guitar in A Major

Burgalesa

Suite Castellana

Castles of Spain

Madronos (Not "Madranos")

Nocturno

Aires de la Mancha

Because of this glich in the track listing, all of the Castles of Spain tracks are off by one track as they are listed on the CD liner. It isn't even correct on David Russell's website.

The only other thing that I don't like about this CD is that some of the notes are a little weird. I know that there were differences between Torroba's original manuscript and Segovia's editions of the pieces, but some of the notes are either wrong or different from anything I've ever played from (and from what I remember that Segovia originally recorded).Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsa little gem
By Jane Austen on March 19, 2000
Moreno Torroba is maybe one of the best composers for guitar, unfortunately little known. David Russel brings to life some magnificent pieces with his wonderful tone and phrasing. Impeccable production and sound as well. An absolute must for guitar lovers and a good beginning for those who are not.

5.0 out of 5 stars... has joined Christopher Parkening as one of my two favorite classical guitarists
By John W. Fowler on December 2, 2015
Verified Purchase
David Russell has joined Christopher Parkening as one of my two favorite classical guitarists, but Russell has a much larger repertoire and brings perfect sensitivity and expression to each and every genre. I own every one of his albums that I can acquire.

4.0 out of 5 starsVirtuoso performance but sometimes too bravura.
By Wildfire on May 29, 2001
Verified Purchase
It's about time! Moreno-Torroba has been absent from catalogue for too long (with the exception of Spain, of course, where one can find recordings of his Zarzuelas (basically Spanish light opera), piano music, etc. David Russell is without doubt a virtuoso - you won't hear wrong notes, string squawking or fret buzzes. However, he tends toward a constant brilliance when at times something more restfully expressive would seem appropriate. I have some familiarity with this music, playing it as well as recording-wise, and I found his tendency to faster tempi a little jarring at times, notably in quiet, laid-back or expressive works like the Burgalesa; the middle portion of the Notturno and the Andante from the Sonatina. David Russell's Burgalesa is simply too strident, the central section pressing and noisy. The middle section of the Notturno has none of the warmth and dreaminess of Bream's early performance (alas, not currently available but I refer to his 1956 recording). Similarly the Andante. On the other hand, Russell's bravura truly brings out the fire in the outer movements of the Sonatina, the Suite Castellana and the Castillos. In summary, this is an excellent disc, worthy of any collection embracing Spanish/Latin guitar music. For all my gripes, I've heard performances, recorded and live, well inferior to David Russell's, and unless you're familiar with the works I singled out in the magical hands of Bream or Segovia, this recording will not disappoint in any way.

5.0 out of 5 starsGenius of composition and interpretation!
By Roger Seaborn on January 7, 2015
Verified Purchase
An exquisite recording of beautiful idiomatic Spanish guitar composition inspired originally by Andres Segovia. Mr Russell is a player of deep sensibility who lifts every piece to a level of beauty in his sensitive expression of the music.
