All of the arrangements on this album were made by LAGQ members. Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite was arranged by Andrew York, who explains in the booklet notes that he first arranged part of the suite for two guitars, which worked musically but was hard to play. So, as he explains: “The ideal solution was to redo the work for guitar quartet, allowing a more complete translation of the complexities of the orchestral score, which could be balanced among four guitars. Two dances remain as duets — the “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy,” played here by Bill Kanengiser and Scott Tennant; and “Arabian Dance,” in which John Dearman and I are the players.”

David Russell was born in Glasgow, Scotland, but his family moved to Spain while he was still a young boy so he could study music in the birthplace of classical guitar. On Reflections of Spain, Russell plays the music of his childhood home with all the joy you would expect from someone revisiting a beloved place. Russell’s formidable technique is powered by a keen intelligence and tempered by an emotional delivery. He plays chestnuts like Tarrega’s “Recuerdos de la Alhambra” and Albeinez’s “Austurias” with a fond intimacy that rescues them from cliché. Perhaps the finest moments on the CD are Russell’s guitar arrangements of four of Granados’s compositions. Although Granados wrote pieces like “Danza Melancolia” and “Andaluza” for piano, Russell’s thoughtful versions remind us that the folk dances that inspired them were originally accompanied by the guitar. David Russell is one the finest classical guitarists to emerge in recent years, and his playing on Reflections of Spain is a near perfect wedding of technique and temperament. –Michael Simmons
