      David Russell's wonderful gentle, full sound was on display. He fully suits the music, however. Sometimes his sound was more abrupt, almost harsh, reminiscent of a harpsichord. Other times he managed to evoke a very constricted sound, almost like a banjo. On occaision I could hear a tinkling harp. As well as altering the sound, he could alter his style, ranging from very precise on the Bach sinfonias to a more Spanish style. For one brief moment, I even would have sworn I was listening to Ry Cooder. Mr. Russell introduced most pieces with brief information that was informative and raised the experience without turning it into a lecture. The entire experience was a delight. Collapse
