Roland Dyens - Fuoco (Libra Sonatine)

[robbourassaguitarist]

Excellent.

[TheTk345p]

very nice!

[0AZ909]

Mr Roland Dyens , éminent compositeur et professeur de guitare classique révolutione l'enseignement de cet instrument . Par ses compositions très élaborées, il fait accroître les possibilités de cet instrument et, donc, son intérêt grandit. La libre Sonatine est composée de trois parties aussi étonantes les unes que les autres et à découvrir !

[omarsabbath95]

[fabgratte]

La technique, la musicalité, l'énergie... ça donne envie de bosser !!

[nvsandrive]

Лучше Диенса никто его произведения не играл, сколько слушал столько и убеждаюсь. Автор всегда первичен во всех отношениях.

[florafox]

in this composition i find some deep and significant cadences (for example 1:14 till 1:34) which give me the impression that the composer tried to escape the omnipresent Eminor chord. But he cannot free himself from this chord which pierces the whole piece (except from 1:32 till1:45) nevertheless - an outstanding performance of a piece that i knew from michael tröster's cd.

[Hellraiser7string]

0:38 -1:00 ...epic..

[yokozumasan]

zajebiste! chcialbym dojsc do jego poziomu, nakurwia jak szalony - najwyzszy poziom sztuki.

Обалденно красивое произведение

[ben3241]

que hermosa pieza

[112358miau]

U can copy the hand movement from Goya and try all your life to copy perfectly his art, but you can't, it will be always an INTERPRETATION. The best playing Dyens is Dyens

[xXMoonDance]

he composed this piece, he wants it to be played like this..

[14AnDrEsItO14]

donde poder conseguir esta partitura???

[craigguitar22]

BRAVO

[AlexKud0691]

Great guitarist and composer. Certainty!

[ddanze]

Phenomonale!!

[TheGuitarman37]

Can someone who's played this give me some input or information I'm missing. The sheet music tells me to play F# in the last measure as do some recordings I've heard. Due to all the F naturals beforehand and watching Dyens himself seemingly play an F natural I'm a little confused. Probably not the most important detail and I think I'll stick to F# but I'm just curious. Tell me if you know anything.

[matuszospisskej]

too much crazy song ... guitar professors do not prefer this at competitions ... its a soup of sounds you can play on guitar

[Rafballs]

if anyone says this isn't the best version. there Fuckn idiots. who better than the person who made it. people all "the asian chick does it the best" or "that one guy does it the best." who else does the bendy tremelo part at 1:03 the best. the mother fucker who wrote it that's who. everyone else fucks it up. to any onyone who says otherwise send me the link.

Quelle magnifique pièce pour la guitare ! Monsieur Dyens vous êtes un grand compositeur et un interprète remarquable !

Bravo !

Mes plus vives félicitations !

Odette

[TheXxxMARYxxx]

This is my favourite one ... this is one of the best compositions for classic guitar EVER ... My wish is to play Libra one day :) I love Roland Dyens and all his compositions ... He is one of the best guitar~players and composers .... ♥

[PhilTurcotteMusic]

I didn't even know that Christopher Lloyd was so great at guitar :)

[BLACKanimebrother]

Listening to this makes me wonder: How would people react to hearing this in Bach's' or Beetoven's days of living? so much emotion.

[laszlosirsom]

AWESOME PLAY!!!

[guitarvam57]

eyey kompa tengo tiempo buskando la partitura mas no la encuentro tu no la tendras por ai? si la tienes kontactame porfa t lo agradeseria saludos

[RoyalSlaughter]

One my guitar idols... no matter how much i practice i'm pretty convinced i will never reach that level..

[Rafballs]

@RoyalSlaughter

just practice 5 hours a day every day

[ggabrielber]

this is the best pieace i ever saw.

Bravo Boland Dyens!!!!!

[KidaReborn]

The only version i'm able to listen to without losing the sense of what's going on.

People generally play this too fast cousing me to get fatigued from running after the notes.

Thank you Roland! (Even if your name reminds me of my car recorder :P)

[DoublePenetration0]

Some withcraft going on at 0:52

[CiRkODs]

great playing but maybe is to slow....

[PAULfromPL]

@CiRkODs, this is a composer and he knows how fast he should play ;)

[rowningm]

Amazing

[Lolalovesamba]

As a matter of interest, who do you think plays this better, Everlast?

[EverlastJazz]

@Lolalovesamba

I've heard and seen other performances, some good ones, some different ones, and other very bad ones. It is easy when the guitarist plays it clean and "perfect", and it is also easy when a guitarist plays it very bad; but when a musician expresses a piece in a different way, it is very hard to clasify it. The good performances can be different, but bad ones can not. (...)

[EverlastJazz]

@Lolalovesamba

(...)I think Dyens' original recording of this piece (on the album "Hommage à Brassens") is the score speaking through its writer. This version is a little bit different, but that's because he wants to speak a little bit different. The composers speak, the rest of us we repeat what the composer speaks, and we can repeat his words the way we want, and it can sound good, bad, or different. (...)

[atzitzikas]

@EverlastJazz Agreed, at most, but if we speak for example in the ways of contemporary composers, no we can't repeat them words the way we want, unless we have a problem of understand what composer intented on every part of his/her write. By the way a composer is composing and not playing for example Brouwer has such good guitar pieces, but he will never be able to play them as a good guitar performer that is not composing as Williams or Russell.

[atzitzikas]

@EverlastJazz

Dyens that alternates guitar playing and composing has more to give to improvisation and inspire others but not so many as a guitar performer I think.

[EverlastJazz]

@Lolalovesamba

(...) I think the composers will never play "bad" their own composition. Take Leo Brouwer's pieces for example, they were played very good by guitar virtuosos like John Williams, but if you hear Brouwer playing, with or without mistakes, "you're hearing Brouwer speaking Brouwer". Here you are listening to "Dyens speaking Dyens".

Please sorry for my english ;) I'm learning french, I hope to be able to write all this in french one day.

Regards from Buenos Aires.

[Utroll]

@EverlastJazz

(...) je pense que les compositeurs ne peuvent pas 'mal' jouer leurs propres compositions. Prenez les pieces de Leo Brouwer par exemple, elles ont été très bien interpretées par des virtuoses de la guitare comme John Williams...

You want to learn french ? Come and visit during Jazz in Marciac, not the bigger festival, but the best mood around for sure !!

(I wish I could dance tango soon)

And to stay in topic, I'm looking forward Dyens in three weeks, so much !

[GitFlo]

@EverlastJazz

thanks for posting this! and i totally agree with you. i never liked the piece, but with dyens him himself playing i actually understand the piece. there are a lot of interesting details and it is also a very lyrical piece, but you never hear this when it's played so fast...

y no te preocupes por tu ingels, nosotros todos lo entendemos perfectamente ;)

[VaheWyler89]

@GitFlo

: )

Regards from Buenos Aires my friend

[ClassicalGuitarRulez]

@EverlastJazz you're right but it's clear that Dyens is not John Williams... Anyway, he's the composer, so his interpretation is good beyond every error.

[AzizRaeesi]

this guy is amazing !!

[khalacastle]

cuanto sentiminto y perfeccion la raja  roland

[MentalMirus]

It's my guess that some of you don't realize that the man playing is Roland Dyens...

[rensya]

Dyens大師我的偶像，結尾真的很帥。

[despode]

out-of-this-world

[Yosgardasd]

This man is god of the guitar XD

[Deerse]

In my opinion this is a creative masterpiece .

Outstanding playing as well.

[MariaGloriaGonzalez]

wuao excelente

[rojinegrafer]

Ah, genius. Simply perfect.

[Solvi27]

I wish I could play that !

[Papazuky8]

aaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnn

[thomaskmonteiro]

genius, awesome!

[cgiancarlo]

Ahora puedo decir que he visto tocar a un genio de la guitarra. Que intensidad en la interpretacion! La pieza es toda una jornada de movimientos que te hacen pensar que ese era el climax de la pieza mas sin embargo sigue y sigue...BRAAAAAVOOOOOOOO! MAEEEESTROOOOOO!

[chenlelo]

por que se llama fuoco , por el final? Cecilio Perera la ejecuta con maestria, al nivel del autor

[amusiathread]

A shame the audio is a little bit off. But this is an incredible piece of music. Dyens is truly an artist.

[arscek]

Increíble, una de las obras más intensas que he escuchado.

[YoshiTD]

Very Great, so BEAUTIFUL!

[eveanok]

que loco para tocar ¡UN GENIO!

[mrwormburn]

ummm yeah...no offense, but vaca doesn't even play the part with the rhythm on the f# well or correctly to boot! so far from this interpretation.

[TheAyahuasca]

Listen the version Pirai Vaca the best¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[MrNolevladan]

Man.....Roland Dyens is one hell of a guitarist.......my idol.......and Libra Sonatine......A BRILLIANT MASTERPIECE!!!!!!

[TheWhitesquall]

Bravo!!!

[lZay007]

No sabia que el Doc... fuera un genio en la guitarra tambien ...

[elguanteloko]

jajajaja si puede viajar en el tiempo que no pueda tocar la guitarra.

[2afmforeva]

nice :)

[benzy366]

One of my favourite solo guitar pieces, along side with Areial Boundaries (Michael Hedges), Prime (Pertteri Sariola) and Dancing Trees (Sergio Altamura).

I guess what gets me about this composistion is the progressive nature and attention to dynamics.

In short, Fucken Awsome.

[dcbeyam]

best living guitar composer, after brouwer of course:). but Roland Dyens is up there, hats off to him, amazing.

[MsYupanqui]

Toca com extrema limpeza sonora, e o final é majestoso!

[ulyssefender]

[davideperone]

c est superb

[flyingreen]

amazing

i wish the sound was better, or maybe its just my speakers

[laertesdd]

only one better than the master's performance himself is ahmad as-salamouny's on his album 'brazilian guitar'. as-salamouny is not reachable. perfect both musically and technically. unfortunately no upload still here on youtube!

[maliakos004]

the best of all i 've seen....played by his master

[joseguitar1]

Una pieza magnifica y perféctamente interpretada.

[nosequenickponer1]

sebastian villanueva version is best!!!!!

[Cannotmakevideos]

This is a perfect example of beautiful modern classical guitar. This fantastic peice jumps off the guitar at you. Very well played, especially at the end with all of the modern techniques such as tapping on the guitar. Great expression, fantastic piece, awesome video.

[janicesilveira]

Meu Deus incrível! Cada vez que conheço uma música de Roland Dryens me encanto! Impecável Executante, Brilhante Compositor parabéns!

[sslfsociety]

It is Awesome! ¡Es Excelente! Es ist ausgeseischnit! (correct me if I misspelled the German)

[joakosoaje]

The final is excelent, i love 3:23

[takismondeo]

Pavlos Kanellakis' version is more passionate and erotic

[SoullessOpeth]

My teacher played this piece yesterday in the middle of a class, without even preparing or something. I think I need 3 - 4 more years to play this :P

[matut86]

please!!

does anyone have the score of this piece???!!

[SoullessOpeth]

Can u even play it?

[aniposada]

beautifulll

[granadosalbeniz]

Dyens est un maitre absolu,son inspiration,sa maitrise technique,la beauté de ses compositions,le sens innée de la pulsation,font de ce maitre un guitariste déja rentré dans l'histoire comme une grande figure de la guitare

[ilNencio]

watch?v=bVrU-JAxLZA

watch?v=a_5QpsqCDgg&feature=re­lated

check these two guys for example.... I don't mean Dyens plays this with no passion, but I believe some others can play it even better, at least in my own taste!! Nobody would ever say that the best player Chopin's sonatas is Chopin himself, don't you think?

[EverlastJazz]

I think there's no "better" or "worse" performance, but "different" ways of performing it, depending on how the guitarist deciedes to expose the piece. As regards to the videos, you've got to compare them with the original (Dyen's), and you'll notice that they're VERY different (tempo, dinamics, etc). Personally I don't like them. Also don't forget that Dyens is one of the greatest guitarists, people usually underestimate composers, I don't know why. But as you said, it's a matter of taste. ;)

[miguelonzon]

@ilNencio  that version is too fast

[OktoberStorm]

Too fast..? Are you aware of who's playing there?

[LacoDePucia]

@ilNencio I guess you like speed, ilNencio :-) ?

[ilNencio]

might sound stupid but in my opinion, although this is a great execution, this is not the greatest interpretation I've heard..... great music, though!

[CosmosMarinerDU]

Well, given that this is a performance BY THE COMPOSER wouldn't you think this is THE definitive interpretation? BTW: who did you think did a better "interpretation?"

[Entropy56]

Galina Vale

[allendale1962]

That was amazing!! I wish I could play the guitar. I am blessed tho by God at the piano. Check me out if you'd like. Sincerely Allen Dale.

[LowKeyFloa]

thats ur problem

gotta go with satan for guitar

[flurkoneko]

God isn't stopping you from learning to play the guitar. Whiner.

[yanelito1]

Extremamente gratificante, todo estudante de violão sonha em toca-la na íntegra, é sem dúvida uma das mais belas composições para violão!! obrigado pelo vídeo!!

[roytek444]

fantastic

[mtero19041996]

hermoso!

simplemente espectacular, diria yo, uno de los mejores en su estilo.

cinco estrellas!

[felipegomezgalvez]

Interesante fusion de styles...gran guitarrista...en direct: encore mieux!

[verdi17]

Unas de las composiciones para guitarra (supongo yo y asi espero lo sea......)

mas hermosas..........

[t0m4t3]

Lo es ;)

[guitarttimman]

man this cat is out of this world. Very very awesome playing. 5 stars

[ClassicalGas91]

wonderfull composer and guitarist!

[MelasChupa]

Gracias maestro, por regalarnos esta musica.

[teelid59]

il utilise une guitare classique ou acoustique?

Does he use a classical guitar or a folk?

[ClassicalGas91]

classical

[t0m4t3]

il utilise une classcal

Lol i'm spanish I have no idea of frech, if you don't understant this, hi is using clearly a classical. Can you listen to the sweetness of the nylon strings?

[banjophobic]

There is no "worlds best" at any instrument. Thats a subjective statement. I would say that roland is among the worlds best guitarists. His depth of nuance, amazing technical prowess and emotion ranks him among the bets, IMO.

[guitarlevente]

Très bon compositeur,un peu fou,mais j'écoute cette interpretation avec plaisir:)))

Manque de claireté un peu:(

[flamingbagofcatpoo]

this is amazing i especially love the last 30 seconds or so and the ending is so badass

[chemicalcomplicated]

It's awesome!

He's genius <333

[Enochwel]

What are you, a gay fish?

[laudcademiamusical]

dyens es un genio y un verdadero guitarrista !!!! felicidades!!!!!!

[Pajabg93]

Milos Janjic a guitarist from Serbia plays it much better.

[Assislau]

This is awesome! He plays it perfectly!! Best Version on Youtube definitly!

[supernacho007]

obviously ! he is the composer!

[cr3rzemJest]

haha

[decemberflowerr]

it's like duh -.-

[Enochwel]

really though, he is not the greatest guitarist. He is a good composer, but there are better performers. Its not uncommon for people to play this better than Dyens. He is a great composer though. Just not as tight on his technique as some great performers.

[flamingbagofcatpoo]

he's a hell of a lot better than me and any other guitarist i know tho I'm always amazed by his super fast runs in his songs i love his playing

[dominicmoir]

Genius

[Elishafanz]

stuning ..

[orzo0]

omg

[momcilokralj]

Vojin Kocic bolje to svira....Brana

[aqua0girl]

i agree....much better...ma ovaj bre nema pojma :p

[decemberflowerr]

god?

[lockysedon]

the camera was not good;d we need a faster one!! i cant see the last 10 secs:D his skills are imba!

[oeconomito]

he looks like the professor from back to the future, but his skills are even more amazing than that

[Deerse]

Roland Dyens is a true artist in the best sence of the word .Everything he plays sounds natural and lets the intention of the composition speak and therefore reaches the soul of the true listener .

He's got a timing comparable to the best jazz musicians alive nowadays, composing and improvising skills fedd by an enormous creativity and deepness of the soul and offcourse .....he is an outstanding guitarist , one of a kind .

[KRETANMARKET]

a difficult piece indeed . technically demanding for master classes . yeap !

[sp27weirdnumber]

me pone de buen humor, como crea piezas dyens

[moviesandmusicBE]

crazy man !!!
