I miss Roland Dyens so much...

[@christianereal7181]

Si do I

[@hadriscus]

I was so hoping to see him live and learned he passed away, man, I was pissed. Arguably the angels up there dropped their little harps to listen to him

[@SingHouse]

It always makes me sad to watch him on KZbin, he was such a huge presence in the guitar world but also clearly a gentle soul and genuinely nice guy. RIP.

[@jaxtynuriel5366]

you all probably dont care but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.

[@derricktrevor3664]

@Jaxtyn Uriel instablaster ;)

[@benkim2016]

What was the cause of his death?

[@Michajeru]

The guitar world is so lucky to have this great maestro. I love his compositions, his arrangements, his playing, his musicianship, and his personality.

[@kookiemonster7994]

Ive listened to this piece so many times since years ago. Still one that moves my soul every time. The Lord gave him great and unusual talent. He plays so gracefully. So beautiful.

[@angelikaseegers-classicalg8053]

He touches our heart-with his arrangements, his compositions and with his way of playing the classical guitar ... he still does !

[@HalJikaKick]

That isnt just someone playing guitar. Thats someone making music.

[@alabudzki74]

The one and only. The best. I absolutely love his French songs... And so many other pieces... This was the most brilliant arranger of all times. RIP.

[@INKTALOVR1]

This brought me to tears less than 10 seconds after he touched the strings. Amazing.

[@EdigarMonteiro]

The best guitarist, composer and arranger of all time!

[@iriv2518]

This music performed by Maestro captivated me from the first note. Amazing performance

[@gentlerhino]

He had this great gift for all of us. RIP, great master.

[@franksabatino7576]

I don't have enough musical knowledge to defend this statement, but Roland's playing here proves that he had unique, sublime talent.

[@basenjiguitar]

good bye maestro. RIP october 29 2016

[@Michajeru]

Roland Dyens - a guitar genius playing a Daniel Friederich (the Stradivarius of guitars). I met him in Israel and he was an inspiration to me - a great man with a beautiful soul.

[@ignaziocabula5320]

Lei ha fatto molto per diffondere il culto della chitarra classica nel mondo, compositore, arrangiatore e concertista di rilievo mondiale .la ascolto sempre e con piacere ❤❤❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😮😮😮RIP IGNAZIO da roma

[@lutesuite]

He is a great disigner on the guitar. He has his own world.

[@Jerom_]

That first piece especially seems almost unhumanly hard. That is the only thing that gives away that it might not have been written for guitar, or certainly not for us mortals playing the guitar. Roland Dyens really is an amazing guitarist and composer.

[@lawcch]

Grand master guitarist played beautiful waltz ...superb show.

[@eRGo369]

so sad i found him so late, he just become one of my favorites instanly!

[@surfeurdebile]

Fantastic! Chopin can be French or Polish, who cares? He's an alien. And Dyens is such an interpret, putting always music before technic, although he's such a great guitarist. Thank you for everything, Mr Dyens.

[@musicman2333]

Merci, Roland.

[@nicm1411]

Rarely do I hear such tenderness and deep feeling played on the guitar. So very touching. Thank you.

[@MrMZaccone]

OMG! His tone is fantastic.

[@karimharoun1684]

Malgré ton âge tu nous a quitté trop tôt cher Roland. Paix à ton âme.

[@RhaM2084]

Pour l'avoir rencontrer qu'an j'avais 10 ans en 2016 avant sa mort, notre chers roland, me manque je n'aurais pas eu la chance d'assister a ses master classe mais il faut perdurer et jouez auttend ses arrangement et sescomposition, Repose en paix Roland, tu resteras dans les livre d'histoire de guitare...

[@TSgitaar]

I am so happy that I've managed to see him perform in concert. Of course, its great to see all these performances on youtube, but its something else to see someone perform live. For me, he is one of the all time greatest guitar players. He was one of those players who could really make music come alive, he was an artist. Its also no surprise to me that he was the teacher of some of my favorite players.

[@dmo5678]

Thank you Maestro !

[@brash75]

mesmerizing! only just discovering this great musician and wow, what a find!

[@sergialarcon3264]

este hombre para mi modesta opinion es el mejor guitarrista que existe.

[@FrankieParadiso4evah]

What a wonderful guitarist, arranger, composer, humourist and personality! Ah, to join just one of his masterclasses... but I'm not a master and I live far away in Indonesia...

[@santih5043]

I'm glad that I subscribed to this channel. I wasn't familiar with this guitarist until today and I am absolutely fascinated by his playing and musicianship.

[@chriseliothernandez]

He is a contortionist. A rare level of musical intelligence. Remarkable.

[@thomasmcd5862]

I saw this guy live once. He was amazing!

[@GuitSiva]

Loved watching your performance with the two of your favourite composers and your interpretation on those Waltzes..❤️👍👌👏😊🎶🙏

[@THCSKPERSONAL]

[@kissekitadissa]

j' ai un super moment ou roland joue sur ma guitare electrique enregistré quelque part , master class devant des guitaristes electriques , ça date de 1991 faudrait que je mette ça en ligne !

[@AfterSpin]

Bonjour, pouvez-vous uploader cette video ? Très curieux de voir cela, vous avez de l’or entre les mains !

[@kissekitadissa]

@@AfterSpin c'est juste un enregistrement audio, à l'époque on ne filmait pas avec des portables, il est un peu dérouté par le nb de cases supplémentaires sur l'électrique, un peu de mal à maîtriser, je lui dis que ça fait un truc indéfinisable musicalement , et ça lui fait développer un sujet sur le sectarisme musical de l'époque où il explique que la guitare classique ne doit rester qu'une technique de jeu mais ouverte sur toutes les musiques et tout les systèmes harmoniques( jazz, rock, country ect...)

[@billyrocca9029]

Bravo Maestro!!!

[@Lucygeno]

BRAVO!!!!!!

[@ivancano7491]

[@zacharyfoxley4392]

A Master...

[@renechaise2383]

Roland est toujours vivant, ses musiques nous l'ont rendu immortel.....

[@tlougamer7189]

look the 6th string in 9:01

[@michelereali_]

Is a camera effect be cause the camera can't reach with perfection the strings vibration

[@soullessSiIence]

+Tlou Gamer Also the 4th strings bends in a weird way. Like it was shot at a ultra slow speed.

[@eazizisaid]

+Tlou Gamer It's because of the camera sensor that scans line by line from the bottom to the top. Thus, since the scanning is not done at the same time, the string movement won't be the same between the 1st and last line scanned which results in that effect. High end cameras with global shutter are used to prevent this phenomenon. Look for "Rolling shutter" for more details.

[@KIWI-un8fs]

why prevent it? its pretty cool

[@greueb]

C'est la meilleure adaptation à la guitare de cette valse de Chopin - Jean Yves Noblet

[@monika93lp]

Chopin jest nasz!! :D

[@kookiemonster7994]

This gets me every time!!! Still. Lol

[@2727mayank]

RIP.

[@nikolaboras1445]

mayank bhadra he's dead? 😮

[@DavidHosannaC]

yes, passed away

[@pjp967]

He was not playing guitar he was breathing it. Repose en paix maestro

[@fizollorudolf7492]

Roland !!!! CHopin"s father was French, mother Pole,Chopin's MUSIC polish.:)

[@cantaclaro2]

From the start 2:25 give the impression that the guitar is not completly in tune (5) (exac tuning) maybe I am wrong ,doesn't help the unbalanced harmonics. More than an arrangement seems a transcription of Tchaikovsky's Barcarolle, however it's difficult to establish the boundaries between an "arrangement" or" transcription" .Beautifully played.I don't find funny make jokes to be more French than Napoleon , taking in account the fact that Mr Dyens isn't 100% French , and Chopin after all gave his talent and heart to Poland.

[@jeffmurray2988]

He tunes it around the 8 minute mark lol

[@k-classicalguitar]

Even Chopin himself will never defeat this play.

[@micktulk]

wow

[@hugh1954]

Wonderful playing - but the sound he gets from that gorgeous instrument!

[@erikhanek4902]

one like for the songs and one for the shirt
