David Russell - For David (2009)

Close

In April of 2009, Russell released For David, a marvelous Telarc CD of works written especially for him. The range of expression is exceptional. One of the CD’s highlights is Sergio Assad’s flowing Aquarelle, which begins with astounding bursts of color. Steve Goss’ three-movement El Llanto de los Sueños (The Weeping of Dreams), inspired by the poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca, starts off dreamily, but soon becomes energetically and emotionally charged. To balance Ben Verdery’s Now and Ever, an impassioned statement against slavery, the CD ends with a trio of works by Phil Rosheger, including the sweet Lullaby to Wake Up With.
