Roland Dyens LIVE at GSI performing his arrangement of "Libertango" by Astor Piazzolla

[@deanuemura8061]

I love how he is able to keep the driving bass - the heartbeat - of this piece throughout. Amazing transcription!

[@Bamboozaler]

RIP, one of the best guitarists.

[@geetbijlani1705]

I love how he preserves the very essence of a piece in his arrangements. Simply amazing.

[@ArseAllowance]

Finally we got libertango ! Really thought that i wouldnt be able to listen to his beautifull arrangement

[@tih_henry]

Lembro que essa foi uma das primeiras músicas que eu aprendi, e ter acesso a esse arranjo de um mestre de mão caprichosa é fenomenal.

[@philippedenilauler6010]

Du très grand Roland Dyens, presque normal ! merci pour ce cadeau !

[@eliasyoussefhnetto7908]

I've waited 5 years for this! Thanks for finally uploading this video. I just discovered it!

[@EngineerHA]

All of your activities are magical, awesome and amazing. Thank you for playing beautifully.

[@BeautifulLife0909]

One of the brilliant classical guitarists. 💙🌸☺️

[@jlpl_HL]

Este Sr. Guitarrista estaba a otro nivel!

[@rokasjurkus]

He had become much bigger than the guitar. Rest in music ❤️

[@antoniovedenbul8220]

a really lovely and inspired comment, thank You

[@calamardoelsensual2333]

Mas vale tarde que nunca, estuve esperando esta interpretación por 3 años chingao Edit. Gracias por subirlo el día de mi cumpleaños xD

[@ΓιάννηςΣυλίκος]

Libertango at last. Played by the one and only...

[@rubinromeo2083]

best arrangement I've heard...awesome and very difficult too. Thanks.

[@juleswanadoo450]

We have waited for it a long time !! Thanks you so much !!

[@tharun8922]

It's important to note that this isn't a refined version of his arrangement: it's something new he was trying out and he knew it was going to be a flawed performance. He talks about this earlier during the concert: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpTUe3dnlr1peKc (

[@AnlGelenler]

Definetly GSI should have added that speech to the video!

[@MisterNiles]

This performance makes me hopeful. He was human, after all. It's important that people know that even for a genius, there is a learning curve and that they need to work too. I think this performance is beautiful. The contrast between the human frailty and such a powerful bass line is a beautiful thing to behold.

[@jamalrene7268]

dunno if anyone cares but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can stream all of the new movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my gf for the last days :)

[@keaganquinton8440]

@Jamal Rene Yup, have been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself =)

[@salvadorbeau4415]

@Jamal Rene yup, I've been using instaflixxer for years myself :D

[@soundografer]

Unique guitarist, composer and wonderful person!

[@lawcch]

this Libertango music arrangement appeared in his The Last Tango music book -Astor Piazzolla arranged by Roland Dyens. It was the most convincing and difficult Tango music played.

[@bornthebjorn1490]

Hated it at first...but it just keeps getting better and better. This man has the sauce

[@timrobs7373]

:( hopefully we can still hear him over the years

[@mmmicroplastics]

RIP the master

[@lazmusic1]

To be perfectly honest, I don't like most of the arrangements of Piazzolla's pieces for solo guitar that I have heard so far but this is a very sophisticated and difficult arrangement, very loyal to the character of the original piece, and in spite of some of the glitches in performance (it was live anyway) it still shows the mastery of Maestro Dyens at his best. Bravo!

[@martaf.balleste6277]

At the beginning of the performance he played Oblivion, and he introduced both pieces making it clear that the Libertango arrangement was not finished yet, but he wanted to play it "as is" for this audience. You can see that video on KZbin as well.

[@mathieulamaure1487]

I beg to differ. This is not Roland Dyens at his best, by any stretch of imagination. I saw him in concert several time in the late 90's beginning 2000's and he was simply sublime, unsurpassable. Unfortunately, the last years and the malady were already hard on him and his playing suffered, while still remarkable.

[@carlosoehler]

The version I like the most is by Argentinean guitarist Victor Villadangos. Give it a try, I think it's more powerful than this one.

[@SoumyadiptaRay]

@@carlosoehleryou're mistaken sir.. first of all when Dyens touched any piece to arrange, everybody's outcasted... heard Victors too.. he practiced that of his arrangement a thousand times or even more... Dyens said clearly (not included in thsi video but in Oblivion video in this channel)... the arrangement wasn't finished and yet all he is playing is just impromptu and random.. just imagine how vast knowledge a man had around the fretboard n music, one could play such randomly....

[@mildnomsed]

Totally agree!

[@qveciana]

Wow !! I thought that I'd never listen to his arrangement !! Very original !! I'm indulgent -as he asked for - but it's a very awesome arrangement with great percussion resources Thank you master for all the maravellous arrangements and compositions !!

[@GenaroValdovinos]

Qué pedazo de compositor e intérprete. Un innovador total.

[@cristianenciso4181]

que bestia por favor!! gracias por subirlo despuès de tanta espera!!

[@luandospassos4818]

Rest in peace Dyens 😢 we miss you.

[@rousseauchristine4605]

J'attendais cet enregistrement depuis longtemps ....En fait je ne savais pas qu'il existait. Quelle belle surprise de le trouver ce matin !

[@edgarblanc]

Merci pour cette pépite !

[@vincent01973]

Magnifico maestro de la guitarra, realizaban los arreglos sin necesidad de usar el instrumento, directo al papel....genio

[@fortissimoX]

Amazing arrangement!

[@00vTv00]

Nice sounding Boucher,...interesting back and side woods, knowing he used Pear and Apple for building guitars, he was way ahead of his time even for today.

[@juancarlosbarreraruiz3896]

Le gustaban este tipo de retos a Roland Dyens, gran ejecución de un gran maestro,, en lo particular me encanta su composición de Fuoco y su arreglo de Felicidade de Jobim,, excelente canal gracias por esta joya recién descubierta.

[@Thefare1234]

The most innovative guitar composer of all time.

[@monikamylonopoyloy6223]

HE PLEY FOR TWO😮❤😍😎😊

[@TokyoShizu]

Cool! I thought this whole concert was already posted. I enjoyed his discussion of arranging in the video of his Chopin and Tchaikovsky performances.

[@carlosb.6549]

Le grand Dyens!

[@Cyrloud]

Genial !

[@awiwii110]

COOL!!!👏👏👏

[@theMarhaenist]

Anyone has the score sheet (i.e. pdf)?..

GOD HABE IHN SELIG😞🌹

[@simonprecheurllarena]

When was this ? He passed away four years ago...

[@Guitarsalon]

He performed here in June of 2015. We had started publishing videos of the concert one at a time until his passing, then stopped the project. We've just realized we have a few more videos of the event and we are going to roll them out over the next days/weeks. Hope you enjoy - we were particularly pleased to find this one of Libertango since his arrangement has become a cult classic with players, yet until now there was no performance of Dyens doing it on KZbin. So a lucky find!

[@edgarblanc]

@@Guitarsalon Thank you for all your videos, I'm impatient to listen the others (little precision : two other versions of the Libertango played by Dyens are on KZbin, but your one is the first with a good sound and good image)

[@munaypassaqui361]

♥

[@EffisiGuitar]

Thanks for the video. I have a curiosity: am I wrong or, thumb aside, don't he had long nails on the fingers of his right hand?

[@bornthebjorn1490]

He has nails he plays with on his 4 right hand fingers, he just also is aware of South American music and how they frequently enjoy using the pad of the thumb sometimes but also the nail others.

[@redangelvash]

역시 로랭디엥 옹...지린다.

[@doriandi9598]

It sounds so all-encompassing as if a genius is playing straight from space ... I'm shocked

[@faczzzz]

9 Chitarrari hanno messo non mi piace, è assurdo!

[@tesquivel8179]

Sigue siendo uno de los más grandes maestro de la guitarra, genio en ejecución transcripción y arreglos, pero hay piezas como éstas que no se deben hacerle mejoras, hasta al mejor cazador se le escapa la liebre... Y aveces menos es más.

[@ArnaldoFreitas]

Pqp uma coisa dessa, num tem outra palavra, desculpa.

[@ThisGuyRocksLikeCrazy]

His right hand techniques sounds like non classical players, but left hand is classical. I'm a bit confused. Great performance nevertheless.

[@JorgeOrtiz-xw3iv]

Con todo respeto se que era un gran guitarrista y.compositor, y.sus.obras las ejecutan grandes de la guitarra, pero esta obra tan fenomenal de piazzola el no le hizo justicia, hay.mucha tecnica y maestria pero.poco tango y sentimiento... Desde.mi ignorancia lo digo...

[@Guitarrista7777]

El arreglo es bueno, en realidad lo toca mucho mejor, solo que son sus últimos años de Dyens, sufría de problemas de salud

[@martaf.balleste6277]

El explicó al principio del concierto que este arreglo no estaba completo, y que iba a ser peligroso él tocarlo en ese momento; fue la primera vez que lo tocá en público. Ya quisiera yo, en mi mejor día, tocar la mitad de lo tremendo que tocaba Mr. Dyens en un mal día. Puedes ver la explicación en el video de GSI de Oblivion.

[@JorgeOrtiz-xw3iv]

@@martaf.balleste6277 con todo respeto, en ningun momento dije nada en contra del maestro...solo soy un aficionado a la guitarra...pero eh escucha a muchos grandes interpretes hacer añicos las composiciones populares y los profesionales analizan sus tecnicas y lo dificil de sus arreglos y dejan de lado lo musical...pero bueno...es una opinion nada mas...

[@martaf.balleste6277]

@@JorgeOrtiz-xw3iv no hay problema, Jorge, todos tenemos derecho a nuestras opiniones. Y tienes razón, de qué vale la técnica si no hay sentimiento o musicalidad. Resulta que conocí a Mr. Dyens, estudié con él en Francia en un taller de una semana, lo ví tocar conciertos en salones grandes y en grupos íntimos, y te aseguro que él apreciaba mucho la música sudamericana. Fue el guitarrista con más intensidad que he visto y conocido en mi vida.

[@antoniovedenbul8220]

shame we have to survive that 5% of guitarists that ruin music world. He was in pain and still arranging in real time while all the others hardly can read a sheet of music.. Roland still submerges you all!!

[@rodbar3112]

C est pas mal mais comparé à Yamandu Costa Roland Dyens on dirait un élève doué. Sans plus. Interprétation bourrée d imprécisons. Sorry.

[@edgarblanc]

Oui, mais non, ce n'est pas comparable ; il expliquait plus tôt lors de cette masterclass que cet arrangement avait été récemment écrit et qu'il allait se livrer à l'exercice périlleux d'en donner un aperçu en sachant très bien que son interprétation aurait des lacunes. Il offrait ce cadeau au public en lui demandant pour le coup de faire preuve d'indulgence. Écoutez un peu ses albums dédiés aux Chansons Françaises, au jazz ou à Pixinguinha, ainsi que ses albums live, et vous découvrirez que Dyens était autre chose qu'un "élève doué sans plus".

[@vuvietdung1996]

Like you compare Zidane to Neymar because they both football player

[@pablocorrea5206]

No parece estar nada cómodo en la ejecución y el arreglo es metronomico , no hay rubato en el tiempo, acento que dar el carácter a esta música.

[@martaf.balleste6277]

El explicó al principio del concierto que el arreglo era nuevo, le faltaba trabajo, pero iba a tomarse el riesgo de tocarlo para ellos. Puedes ver la explicación en el video de GSI de Oblivion.

[@hamedazimi2726]

Could have practiced a bit more

[@shreetamakarmakar131]

He died soon afterwards. He was suffering for some time and understood his days are numbered. In the first video (Oblivion) he remarks that he'll soon meet Piazzolla. Also, he told that he was bound to make 'mistakes', or even 'screw up'. It's good that he played, otherwise we would never have heard these two pieces from him had he decided to 'practice more'.

[@martaf.balleste6277]

I suggest that you watch the video that Shreetama refers to; if you want to criticize after that, at least you will know the facts.
