One of today's most celebrated classical guitarists, Grammy Award winner David Russell returns to 92NY's Art of the Guitar with an original program spanning three centuries. Russell opens his program with the charming Pensamiento Español by Spanish guitarist and composer José Broca, and a Baroque sonata originally for recorder and continuo by Benedetto Marcello. Torroba's atmospheric Castillos de España ("Castles of Spain"), commissioned by Andrés Segovia, follows before Russell's own exquisite arrangement of Bach's minor Flute Sonata. Two selections by contemporary French composer Francis Kleynjans—including a work written for him and dedicated to 19th-century Spanish virtuoso Francisco Tárrega—lead into the final work, Tárrega's own spectacular Gran Jota, in this beautiful and inspired program for all lovers of classical guitar.
