Here's Jonathan Pryde playing 'Soirée by Jonathan Roth, his teacher, on a fantastic 2015 Stephen Hill ziricote and cedar classical guitar at the Guitar Salon International showroom in Santa Monica, CA.

About the piece, Dr. Roth had this to say:

After attending a guitar recital which included two pieces by Roland Dyens, I was intrigued by the quirky sense of humor and dance-like rhythms which characterized these works. My composition was dually inspired by some friends of mine and our wonderful dinner parties where there was always amazing food and live music. Most classical guitarists will recognize the opening of Soirée as strikingly similar to Dyens’ Vals en Skai. I eventually had the privilege of performing this work for Mr. Dyens at a masterclass after which he said, “Thanks for the wink.” –Jonathan Roth
