Customer Reviews great performances of enjoyable pieces I have almost all Russell's CDs, and I enjoy them tremendously. David Russell is arguably the finest classical guitarist in the world, along with Manuel Barrueco and Paul Galbraith, and a few others. 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!. It should have been earlier. It's no doubt that David Russell is the best(not one of) when referring to 19th century(or style) music on classical guitar. I mean the prize, of course. 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. Thoughtful, Sensitive, and Skillful His playing is thoughtful and expressive, but also sensitive and not overly extraverted. This is a great performance for the very versatile David Russell. His use of rubato is excellent on most tracks, and his constant contrast of dynamics, as well as vibrato, give the pieces on this album real life and emotion. I had been performing 5 of the tracks on this album when it came out, so I can attest to the difficulty of many of these pieces, especially all three movements of the Morel "Sonatina. " I can also say that his performances of these is very true; I could hear no incorrect notes , with the exception of some added notes in the first movement of "Sonatina," which I have since adopted myself for my own performance. His expressive interpretation is likewise impeccable on these tracks. This record would be a great purchase for anyone interested in classical guitar, whether they are just getting into the genre or already have a large collection, or anyone interested in Latin American art music. .
