A brilliant guitarist. I was fortunate to see him in concert in Shrewsbury in 2014. He somehow imitated the sound and tone of my 2 year old son saying "uh-oh" with his guitar and used it as a recurring theme in his improvisation. Wish I had filmed it, it was brilliant, as was the rest of his concert. Love his arrangement of La Foule.
This is the Roland Dyens whose playing and music I fell in love in the 90's. Imho, he was and still is the greatest musician on a classical guitar. Improvisation, composition, interpretation... he had it all. The man had more sublety in his little finger than a whole busload of so called virtuosos. I will miss you Roland.
With arrangements and harmonic depth, complexity and intrigue, this guy was on another planet and is still miles ahead of everything we hear today. His original compositions were also astonishing. I recently just heard a cover of someone playing his arrangement of Bluesette ... Another Show stppper. His arrangement of Nuages and night in Tunisia are unreal, in fact pick one, anyone, they are all astonishing - a great men, a legend of guitar. Sorely missed
It’s so sad to watch him play especially at his peak . The man is genius in every respect . Dare I say that he was the best guitarist ever . What a loss and from what I’ve read about him he was a genuinely kind man . He raised the guitar to a level that cannot be duplicated.
Beautiful Roland Dyens, his masterful playing, his humour, his interaction with the audience is just phenomenal and unequaled. He will always have a special place in our hearts .Thank you so much for posting this jewel of a video.
Such a beautiful concert! Roland Dyans visited my home with some friends from St.Louis Classical Guitar several years ago.He and I jammed on the tune Blue Bossa! That was thrilling!!
He was such an amazing musician! I, too, was lucky enough to see and hear him live in concert twice. He was wonderful indeed. Thank you for posting this.
Wow..👌 Unique in approach and interpretation.. 👌Variations are also more special with technical nuances especially and harmony.. Good job.. 👏Warm cheers.. 😘Thanks so much.. 🙏
Monsieur "Maison", Robert Maison doit en frémir de bonheur dans sa tombe en entendant son élève jouer si sublimement de la guitare. Comme le lycée de Meudon est loin, aujourd'hui ! Bernard Lallement.

That libra sonatina performance was absolutely phenomenal.

Indeed !
He was a very funny and happy guy indeed. Always joking around and very approachable. I met him in a guitar festival almost 10 years ago.
That first piece reminds me of a thorny cactus baking in the desert sunlight or noodles randomly jiggling in a pot of boiling water.

He plays like a magician !
simply the best .... compared to todays "famous" players he is still light years ahead
He was not only an excellent interpreter, but also an arranger and a f... composer! It's insane.
Du génie ce cher Roland !
Muito obrigado
É um presente aos olhos ao ouvido e principalmente ao coração!
Superb concert !!
The master Dyens in a great moment.
We miss him everyday !!

Bizony bizony. Feltöltöttem, mert "round midnight”-ot az ő előadásában nem találtam a neten.
Solté una lágrima oyendo y viendo Fuoco
I consider myself very lucky to have seen him live once. I've never seen anyone like him--thanks for posting this.

I wanted to go too but I wasn't born yet.

Nem semmi koncert! Köszi a feltöltést!
Én 20 évvel később láttam őt Füreden, hihetetlen, hogy itt még milyen fiatal volt!
Que magia la que tiene Roland, fue un guitarrista fuera de serie.
Legendary guitarist

The last encore piece was done with less than his best efforts as if to finish the concert after such being exhausted!!
Guitar God
great document! just a thing: the Prelude by Villa Lobos is the number 2 ;)
Sorry, of course, thanks for this info! I've changed it. Regards Csaba Székely
Is there any way to get dyens's variation on the brouwer etude as sheet?

No one should cough!
This was before Roland's hair fell out creating a massive bald spot on his forehead.
