Thelonious Monk "Round Midnight" Arr. R.Dyens - played by Roman Viazovskiy

Roman Viazovskiy plays for Ukranian TV his program "Wanderer in time" ("Zeitenwanderer")

[@Crytoma]

Damn, beautiful performance. So much feeling.

[@boxer31753]

Round Midnight is one of my favorite songs. As a guitarist myself, I have searched all over youtube, listening to every guitarist's interpretation of this classic, that I could find. The arrangment by Dyens, played by Roman Viazovskiy is the most beautiful solo guitar version by far. The tempo, harmony, and feeling are perfect.

[@garymelnyk7910]

Mirrors my own experience exactly. Well noted!

[@iwanjones7334]

This song has haunted me for 40 years. Seldom have I heard it played so well.

[@user-ez5zj4ej5b]

just amazing!!

[@marioramosribeiro7869]

Does it sounds from heaven ? Surely...What a magnificent interpretation! Thanks Roman! God bless you!

[@fingerhorn4]

Another classical player who understands jazz and can play it - quite a rarity. Roman Viazovskiy is an exquisite player and seems to bring alive every era of the guitar repertoire. Fantastic performance - as usual - and a wonderful arrangement.

[@thomashaney376]

Bravo!

[@andersbrunost5328]

great job!

[@MaksymFilatov]

Glory to Ukraine and ukrainian musicians!

[@serg68ful]

He is from Donbass. Ukraine army destroyed his home

[@moveurfeet]

Magnificent interpretation ! The composer and maestro Roland Dyens would'nt feel betrayed by this jewel !

[@FrankieParadiso4evah]

Outstanding, Jazzmen like Barney Kessel & Wes Montgomery must be smiling up in Blue Heaven...

[@klausfoerster4554]

Ich denke, das ist die beste Interpretation des Stücks auf der Gitarre, die ich kenne. Meisterhaft gespielt, großartig arrangiert.

[@theodorlandi121]

Damit kann man nur zustimmen. Eine solche meisterhafte Interpretation habe ich noch nie von einem " Jazz Gitarristen " gehört.

[@khalidmusadaq4904]

Lovely, very lovely.

[@zaenkmus]

Great stuff....pure and simple.

[@2727mayank]

RIP Roland Dyens.

[@heavenlyguitar5913]

This guy is fantastic! His touch is out of this world and he is doing it on a classical guitar! This guy has a great understanding of music and it’s different forms. Wow!

[@user-qq4gq3do8g]

Лучший, по всем показателям!

[@paulgerards6494]

Der Roman wird nochmal ein richtigen Jazzer ;) Klasse !!

[@morriszachrisson8359]

Roman Viazovskiy not only understands jazz, he is universal. He understands whatever he plays. He is probably the best guitar player in our days. Technically and emotionally better than anybody else. I would even say better than Russell or Dylla. Very good example when expertise does not guarantee good PR.

[@JahnkeML]

What a flawless right hand.

[@viarnay]

Amazing. Classical guitar is an instrument with no limits :-)

[@Glejsaren]

Best I ever heard! Wonderful. I don't have words enough!

[@jcmc3445]

FLAWLESS!!!

[@xapile]

quel talent , quelle musicalité , maestro

[@Guyhart]

Amazing. I spent ages working this out by ear when it first came out on Roland Dyens' CD. I tracked the music down a while ago but have not had time to work with it. I will dig it out now. This film has inspired me! Thank you!

[@charleshendrickse9787]

Beautiful! Bravo

[@honeytaco8216]

I was lucky enough to see Mr Dyens himself play this three or four times, and I even have a picture where I am standing next to him as he played it for a masterclass in San Francisco….

[@viarnay]

R.I.P maestro

[@jonathanruizesquivias6295]

Master!!

[@Michajeru]

Phenomenal guitar playing.

[@jpsalaun]

Thank you Roman, this is perfect version, i listen to a loop.

[@micaofboca]

What a magnificent arrangement and performance this is. Roman's polychords are perfectly configured.and he captures the feeling of the original composer splendidly. This is a deeply thoughtful and compelling interpretation. Done with skilled attention to the "Monkish" chordal possibilities played within the guitarist's unique rhythmic approach. Monk played this song differently each time and this rendition is a highly professional and virtually flawless performance in keeping with the feeling that Monk originally put forth. I'm in complete awe of this amazing guitar arrangement and performance. . Just beautiful and so pensive!

[@Glejsaren]

Don Lackritz Yes! Amen!

[@gustavocollazo1565]

+Don Lackritz Great arrangement of Roland Dyens and great interpretation! Grettings!

[@georgeshafnacker5154]

[@jaeminyoon1749]

[@martinvegaga]

who is the luthier of that guitar? it´s really amazing and Roman what an excelent performer!!

[@ryunsummers9283]

Karl Rommich. He is a luthier god. His guitars beat Hauser, Romannillos, early Ramirez.

[@guitarbeast459]

does anyone know where i can get sheet music for this?

[@gistau]

I recomend Baden Powell's version of this same tune. I guess it might have served as an inspiration for Dyens when he made this amazing arrangement!

[@micaofboca]

Miguel Gistau Miguel, Baden Powell was the British founder of the Boy Scouts. Bud (Powell) was Monk's dear friend and contemporary pianist. Innocent error.

[@putminix123]

Don Lackritz no, he means baden powell of aquino; a brazilian composer who is named baden powell because of his father who was a scout lover

[@PeterOzanne]

@@micaofboca Carlos is right. "Not many people know that". Baden Powell is the professional name of Baden Powell de Aquinho, whose dad was a Brasilian band-leader, and such a fan of the (Boy)-Scout movement that he gave his son those names as christian-names. This Baden Powell was a famous guitarist and composer in Brazil, composing well-known pieces with Vinicius de Moraes and others.

[@JaimeLandini]

de que constructor es la guitarra?

[@noodleheadable]

@guitarbeast459 a book by roland dyens called "mes arrangements a l'amiable".

[@rcuomo]

James Spader about 20 or so years ago.

[@kirstengustafson8268]

"Time Traveler" perhaps? This is beautifully performed.

[@bebermucho1362]

Where can I get score to this arrangement of Monk's piece?

[@SgIronMan]

[@-musicharmony7086]

[@nielsmeire1971]

[@jamesisthewalrit]

Everything is made of carbon.

[@gustavocollazo1565]

Obviously an excellent performance... but why those overacted expressions on his face? I can't see it haha
