Release Notes:
The French-born guitarist Roland Dyens began
studying his instrument at the age of nine. By age
33, he was listed as one of the worldÆs best by The
Guitarist Magazine. Dyens is currently a professor
at the Conservatoire National SupΘrieur de Musique
de Paris. Known also as a brilliant arranger, Dyens
has chosen some of the most memorable guitar
repertoire by late 18th and early 19th - century
composers and arranged it for solo guitar and
string quartet, specifically the Quatuor Arthur
LeBlanc: seven Θtudes by the 19th century Catalan
composer Fernando Sor; and one of the six
Rossiniana composed by Mauro Giuliani on themes
from Rossini operas. Dyens also performs GiulianiÆs
Variations on a Theme by Handel and SorÆs Grand
Solo, opus 14 for solo guitar.
The Quatuor Arthur-LeBlanc, composed of violinists
Hibiki Kobayashi and Brett Molzan, violist Jean-Luc
Plourde, and cellist Ryan Molzan, is widely
recognized as one of CanadaÆs finest string
ensembles. The group recently made its debut at
Carnegie Hall. In September 2005, the QAL assumed
the role of quartet-in-residence at the UniversitΘ
Laval in Quebec City.
