Reflections of Spain: Spanish Favorites for Guitar

by David Russell

Overview

Classical guitarist David Russell performs 11 flamenco-influenced pieces for solo guitar on Telarc's Spanish Favorites for Guitar. Russell spent his formative years learning guitar from his father on the small Spanish island of Menorca, and his love and comfort with the cultural stylings of the Spanish guitar shine brightly on this collection. His interpretations of these moody and moving works by composers Joaquin Malats, Francisco Tarrega, Enrique Granados, Isaac Albenez, and Antonio Ruiz-Pipo are performed cleanly and expertly, with the warmth and passion of a seasoned flamenco master. ~ Zac Johnson
