David Russell is arguably the finest classical guitarist in the world, along with Manuel Barrueco and Paul Galbraith, and a few others. I have almost all Russell’s CDs, and I enjoy them tremendously. Aire Latino is a collection of many of the best and most popular modern short pieces from Latin composers. Hearing his interpretation and flawless execution has rekindled my love for many of those pieces I once also played. Highly recommended!

A wonderful, beautiful CD. The fact that the music is all inter-related creates a beautiful atmosphere while listening. I know enough to know that this type of artistic endeavor is a collaboration; so kudos to David Russell, producer Rosalind Ilett and engineer Thomas Knab! I understand that this team has worked on many of David Russell’s amazing recordings.

I have almost all of David Russel’s CDs, and many other CDs of Latin American guitar music. This is my favorite in both categories for about 2 years, now! His rendition of Cardoso’s Vals Peruano is amazing. It’ll make you sit up and say, “What???? How did he do THAT???”. In his hands, Reis’ nice little “waltz-y” Se Ela Perguntar becomes a plaintive elegy that’ll rip your heart right out of your chest. I played it in this style at my father’s funeral and there wasn’t a dry eye in the place. This is an amazing CD from, (I think), the best classical guitarist touring today.

This is one of the most beautiful and astonishing cd I have heard. david Russell’s sound and technical ability are the best in the guitar world. His Matthias Dammann guitar sounds beautiful and powerful. Telarc engineer Thomas Knab have done a great work. You will enjoy the cd a lot of times. GREAT CD¡¡¡¡¡¡

I mean the prize, of course. It’s no doubt that David Russell is the best(not one of) when referring to 19th century(or style) music on classical guitar. In this album, every small piece is so attractive because of the romantic aspect in guitar, in

David. I own all the albums of David Russell. Although this one is not the best,it definitely deserve the prize, price and praize from guitar lovers from all over the world.
