Roland Dyens deserves to be more known by the public. Not alive anymore, he still serves us the best performances. Besides effortless catching the tempo through the whole piece, his soulful playing makes this a unique document. Who are the ones with a thumb down: Probably the purists that can only hear Chopin played on the piano. Dyens could have played a broomstick and the result even then would have been astonishing!
As a pianist, it's very interesting to see how this piece can be adapted to the guitar without losing too much of its musical texture and complexity. Dyens managed a very nice compromise, and the result is very poetic.
The greatest master guitarists in the world mostly sound very rough on the falling chromatic part in this (1:14 here) while still playing the chords. But Thu Le does it the best.
Roland Dyens est un génie absolu....Il est et restera un des guitaristes les plus grands de notre époque, je le trouve génial dans la qualité de ses arrangements, ses interprétations , c'est en outre un sacré pédagogue, je l'ai vu plusieurs fois en concert, et il aime à présenter Chopin comme un jazzmen, il est drôle et humain....Que la guitare est grandie avec un tel Monsieur!
In my opinion this is the best transcription of this piece, beautiful performance.It gives me hope of a better future. Thanks for posting. Mr Lộc from HoaBinh Corp.Danang city - VietNam.
I play this beautiful song on piano, but hearing your version brought tears to my eyes, of course it's written for piano, but I thought you played it with passion & the key changes were so touching, I loved it. Thankyou X
Mr Dyens, félicitations pour votre interprétation personnelle de cette merveilleuse Valse de Chopin. Vous êtes un très grand professeur et vos compositions sont remarquables.
for those who ask for the transcription in standard notation only, it is available in Roland Dyens in "Mes Arrangements A L'amiable", published by Editions Henry Lemoine, France.
this is blooming wonderful... I love to find fantastic transcriptions and interpretations of these sorts of classics that I haven't even heard on piano before.. it transcribes very well...
This piece for me has something of a spanish dance, the main melody is quite 'seductive' while quite ironic, and even nostalgic, as are every spanish piece for guitar. It is the best Chopin piece adapted to the guitar.
świetne wykonanie - świetna muzyka - genialna kompozycja Chopina i genialny Roland Dyens - sam Chopin jakby to usłyszał - to by przyklęknął w podzięce... suuuuper
The guitarist in this video that interprets wonderfully waltz opus 69 No. 2 Frederic CHOPIN his name is Roland DYENS and he is a French composer and guitarist known on the world. The Chopin waltz that plays was transcribed by Roland DYENS himself. It is published by Henri Lemoine (Paris, France).
Nice...learning it now off this clip (first heard Charlie Byrd's recording of this way back in the(H.S. days ;) on an old LP...(that was a stunning recording)..great post and performance here.Love your tone.
Tony, I think you are correct. I had a second look and listen. It seems that the tuning shift is certainly on the A string but possibly the E and D as well. The top three strings appear to be at pitch. I'd like to buy the collection this is in, but it doesn't appear to be GSP. Try using VLC Media player (It's free). Current version will permit speed shifting in increments. Earlier versions can play at half speed one octave lower. I've found these useful for studying fingerings and tuning.

Bye. The all time greatest classical guitar arranger
How I love this waltz of Chopin and here played so beautifully... with a bit of yearning and melancholy with a touch of joy.

One of the most beautiful music I have ever heard, and also well performed. Congratulations.
Everytime perfect! Every little sound full of meaning!
Merci, Roland, pour cette merveilleuse adaptation de Chopin.

i play this on the piano.

Exceptional and indescribable. That's just the transcription. The playing is sublime.
PRECIOSO !!!!! MUY BONITO !!!!!! MMAS GRS. BENDICIONES D ARGENTINA !!!!!! FELICITACIONES !!!!!!! SUPER . MUY DELICADO . MUY DETALLADO !!!!!!

Przepiękna interpretacja!!!! Wspaniale i wzruszająco!!!!! Wielkie brawa!!!!!
What a great player he was!! I was blessed to hear him in person a few years back, and he was spellbinding.
Почему был?
Es la segunda mejor interpretacion de esta obra que he escuchado en mi vida Esta en guitarra y la Otra en el Piano. Me encanta!
Toujours aussi talentueux,mon vieil ami Roland!! c'est superbe!
Beautiful and Speechless ! Thank you for playing.
Beautiful playing. I really enjoyed listening to this interpretation
nadie interpreta una pìeza de piano tan perfectamente como este maestro. amo esta pieza de chopin es increiblemete hermosa.
En uno de sus conciertos mencionó que hizo sus arreglos (de este y otro vals) para que la audiencia dedujera que la pieza se compuso para la guitarra
Extremely good !! Sounds mesmerising on guitar
Замечательно,правильные интонации, когда в детстве играл папа,во
Главе всегда были чувства
Magnifique, merci maestro Dyens
increible!!!no pensaba que pudiera quedar tan bello interpretado en la guitarra!!!
świetne wykonanie - świetna muzyka - genialna kompozycja Chopina i genialny Roland Dyens - sam Chopin jakby to usłyszał - to by przyklęknął w podzięce... suuuuper
Excellent. Thanks for this great music.
Que maestria y que tecnica tan perfecta! Felicitaciones!
Beyond description. Out of this world. I am in awe !!
O violao tocado com simplicidade e grande sentimento. Verdadeira terapia para a alma.
Amazing guitar play ... I've first time listened to Chopin by guitar. This is fantastic.

***** Hi, give me your email adress and I will tell you where you can find a transcription of this opus.
He Died...
Beautifully played and easily the best guitar version on U Tube.
jimmy page de la guitare classique !!!! bravo c'est magique !!
Without you I would have never thought this waltz suits the guitar. Marvelous!
one of the very few Chopin arrangements for guitar that I actually prefer compared to the original. Dyens is a true genius when it comes to arranging!
Grande, Grande, Grande..... il più estroso, il più geniale!
I've always loved this piece on the guitar (rather than piano), and this is a superlative performance! Excellent!
Nice...learning it now off this clip (first heard Charlie Byrd's recording of this way back in the(H.S. days ;) on an old LP...(that was a stunning recording)..great post and performance here.Love your tone.
Very beautiful.....Bravo Roland Dyens
Absolument magnifique, Monsieur DYENS, et quel illustre professeur êtes-vous !

Great, I tend to say it sounds nicer than on piano! Many thanks!
Tony, I think you are correct. I had a second look and listen. It seems that the tuning shift is certainly on the A string but possibly the E and D as well. The top three strings appear to be at pitch. I'd like to buy the collection this is in, but it doesn't appear to be GSP.
Try using VLC Media player (It's free). Current version will permit speed shifting in increments. Earlier versions can play at half speed one octave lower. I've found these useful for studying fingerings and tuning.
this music is to die for!
sedeeep...mantap banget
Wow. I'm surprised this sounds so good on guitar... piano pieces are usually very busy and with thick texture... this is a wonderful adaptation.
Bella melodia e interpretation.
BRAVISSIMO !!!!!!
Just made my day! Perfect!!
QUE HERMOSURA!!!! QUE OBRA!!!
Fantastic.....
Had me in tears by the end.
Genial, maestro
This, as well, is the film music of "The Lover" /
w. Jane March, when she left Vietnam on board of a steam ship after the end of her love story.
Proud to say I saw his premier USA concert at half moon bay San Francisco, and I sat next to Badi Assad!
i really like this - to some extent it sounds better than on a piano due to his great skill.
Отлично, сыграно 👏
