David Russell--19th Century Music

When David Russell made this debut CD (he had done one LP earlier), he was a young musician on his way up. Now, he records for Telarc and is quite well known. GHA, a Belgian label specializing in guitar music, has done well to keep this CD available. The music has more substance than you will find on the average collection of guitar miscellany (especially Mertz's Elegie, quite a touching piece), and the congruent yet varied romantic program makes for good listening. Russell plays superbly, making sure that the pieces sound different from each other, and his guitar is realistically captured by the recording.

Tracklist:

1. Andante et Rondo
2. Introduction et Polonaise
3. Elegie
4. Fantasia
5. Fantaisie Hongroise
6. Leyenda
7. Aire Vasco
