Jump to 3:16 for the piece.
Here's Roland Dyens live at GSI playing his arrangement of Astor Piazzolla's Oblivion on a very important guitar - a 1947 Robert Bouchet that was the 2nd guitar Bouchet ever built and the first he ever sold (he had made the first for himself and kept it). Recorded live at the Guitar Salon International showroom in Santa Monica, CA.
Huge thanks to the folks at AEA (RibbonMics.com) for the use of their N8 and N22 ribbon active microphones in these recordings.

R.I.P. Dear Maestro. What a great loss for the classical guitar community and music in general.

[@stevekuhn9138]

I am glad to live in an age where we can listen to recordings and hear people speak that have passed. Roland Dyens playing and attitude is marvelous. Thank-you for posting these. He is a blessing.

[@andyawful]

He brings this song to another level, another universe beyond the living.

[@renaissancestrings9264]

A truly gifted a wonderfully humorous person. Let us not dwell is sorrow for his passing but revel in what he left us. Thank you maestro.

[@00vTv00]

Roland was one-of-a-kind, thanks for uploading this. That Bouchet guitar has those growling basses, and sweet fully round trebles that the world longs for, what an instrument.

[@claude7473]

Am Thankful for this marvelous recording. We will all miss Roland Dyens.

[@BaKhangNguyenVN]

It is a such deep shock to all of us (musicians - guitarists). The great profound composer/arranger/guitarist has left the stage for good. my sincerely condolences to the family.I hope these beautiful pieces are in print. looking forward to it.Warm regards,Ba Thinh & Ba Khang

[@monikamylonopoyloy6223]

I still have a lot of listening to do , but of what I've listened to so far , I dare say this is the most beautiful thing anyone has ever played on the guitar. Ever.

[@lukasimic2853]

[@unknownhenson7336]

WOW!!! that was some of the most fantastic playing I've ever heard

[@josec.9042]

[@Andreas.maliakas]

I feel so blessed to have met him in Patras seminars. Thank you master RIP

[@asttran7109]

You played the "forget" song, but how can we forget you. RIP.

[@dadwhitsett]

We are less without him. Such a loss.

[@tizochuerta]

If you try to play Oblivion according to Maestro Dyens....is .. so, so hard. Such a great musician he was u.u .

[@jumemowery9434]

One of my favorites. You brought tears to my eyes. Thank you

[@carloshelmuth]

Roland... ... Rest in peace MAESTRO... thank you for all the soul you left in the music we conserve from you... ... ... ...

[@johntravena119]

Just stumbled on this. Beautiful rendition of this song. Had never heard this guitarist before. Have been playing this melody on my ukulele.

[@johndo7742]

If you like this you should look for his rendition of a chopin waltz. Sublime. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJuVdmtpgLyinaM

[@scruffygit771]

How he throws those harmonics in like its no problem....wow

[@Osckarre]

Master Maestro. Just a little piece of heaven fallen to earth. Thank you!

[@eugene_jazz]

Great! Piazzolla is one of my favorites for improvisation 😍

[@user-yk7uy5oy4j]

im crying my soul.. wonderful .. thankyou for your play

[@darkone1685]

OMG best performance of that I've ever heard !! Even with a few little mistakes still the best !! I'm weeping !! OMG !!!

[@juankamilocortes9146]

[@ronaldo.araujo]

People thumbs up

[@pedroandrade8727]

[@vitors.7759]

[@PeterTerpstra7]

Stunning! Thank you so much.

[@cookaboorra]

I cannot believe what I hear. This is impossible, so much passion and understanding, pathos and HARMONY .... the best play ever. AMAZING

[@batarawatson]

We will miss you maestro. One of the eminent composer & guitar player in history..

[@leonpetersen7346]

Wow what a masterful arrangement!

[@siliarte]

es muy hermoso como usted interpreta la música en al guitarra. Es muy bello su tañir!

[@Perly53]

That was just gorgeous.

[@MethenySco]

A deeply touching performance.

[@erich191]

Nossa, que emoção ele transmite ao ouvinte. Um toque único.

[@Sevenstrings-classical-guitar]

No words to describe such a Genius of the "colours" ...

[@jorgeneri]

Awesome! And this guitar tone ... I've never heard such great deep tone

[@darkone9572]

For $275,000 you can have tone like that ! Whew !

[@nelsongrimaldi3926]

Agree, been heard so many classical guitar from all major makers, so far this one has the deepest bass, all other Bouchet guitar pre 1960 also has this kind of characteristic, but this specific one is the best, truly magical

[@ronaldo.araujo]

@@nelsongrimaldi3926 What? I thought this was because of the microphone. If it is really the guitar, what makes it have so much bass?

[@bnpowel]

Merveilleux pédagogue. Merveilleuse musique. Du grand art!

[@Landscape_Guitar]

So touching!! He brought us jazz players to listen classical guitar.

[@josediederich3769]

to be fair Piazzolla's kind of a mix of the two and tango :P

[@gersonmoraol]

Incredible! Master!

[@pandemonium31]

Une guitare et un guitariste exceptionnels.

[@joaquim02]

[@jp_hl]

La guitarra es un universo musical!

[@miguelangelschad4851]

El gran maestro haciéndonos volar,descansa en paz

[@74marignier]

qu'est ce qu'il nous manque ...

[@helmutdiez4306]

Just Great

[@bokai77]

The bass E on this guitar is incredible!

[@ArminKullaOfficial]

maybe because its not an E

[@hyperboreal]

It's a C.

[@nicknelson9450]

I imagine a pro like Roland would overall have been unhappy with this performance but it does have several exquisite moments and I think it is a good demonstration of how musicianship can convey emotions which technique or extensive practise might not.

[@ennioschiavi664]

Dei bassi impressionanti!

[@jsphotos]

Sublime!

[@senjinomukae8991]

Wow.. that guitar has a thick, dark, sweet, slightly menacing sound.

[@vitors.7759]

Please, give us the footage of his take on Libertango!!

[@TheGuitarardizio]

BELLISSIMO

[@fabianmichique]

Que belleza!

[@tomaspap1559]

[@johnpalacios5914]

Wow! Even screwing this piece up the maestro makes it timeless.

[@jeanaimarres]

magnifique ;)

[@andalusianguitarist]

R.I.P its a great loss.

[@pedroandrade8727]

WHERE IS LIBERTANGO???

[@kinsmenmusicofficial]

what a badass!

[@andybrandy9854]

великий был гитарист и композитор...

[@ennioschiavi664]

Jouer cet version de Roland sans une guitare vraiment exellente c'est inutile.

[@lazygamer7469]

It is a laid back roller coaster trip, ridden blinfolded, and built with sudden short turns. lol

[@peripheralparadox4218]

I love it when the greats make mistakes.

[@raphaelandrianapoulos1190]

admirable !

[@Cowboy_Consultants]

Where's libertango

[@MrDollybo]

R.I.P. Maestro illuminato e persona buona.

[@LiDA152]

Grande Roland! Ci manchi
