David Russell is world-renowned for his superb musicianship and inspired artistry, earning the highest praise from audiences and critics alike. Early in his career, he won many international competitions, including the Andrés Segovia Competition, the José Ramírez Competition, the Francisco Tárrega Competition, and he was awarded the Julian Bream Guitar Prize, twice.
In recognition of his great talent and his international career, he was named a Fellow of The Royal Academy of Music in London in 1997 and inducted into the Guitar Foundation of America’s Hall of Fame in 2018. Since winning a Grammy in 2005 for his CD Aire Latino, David has produced one extraordinary recording after another. His love of his craft resonates through his flawless and seemingly effortless performances. The attention to detail and provocative lyrical phrasing suggest an innate understanding of what each composer was working to achieve, bringing to each piece a sense of adventure.
David Russell spends his time touring the world, appearing regularly at prestigious concert halls, while maintaining an active recording career.
“…Mr. Russell made his mastery evident without ever deviating from an approach that places musical values above mere display. It was apparent to the audience throughout the recital that Mr. Russell possesses a talent of extraordinary dimension.”-New York Times
