"This piece is one of a set of six solo guitar works under the collective heading of 'Les Scènes Panoramiques'. Par Vents et Marées (By Winds and Tides) lives up to its title well. It is a dramatic work - a tone poem - in one movement, highly descriptive in character and the wind and general blustery weather is finely captured in Roux's clever style of writing. Floating above all the arpeggiated chord sequences is a heroic-type melodic line of strong character and this weaves its way through the several changes of tempo, the piece culminating in thrilling and powerful strummed chords which lead onto a brief peaceful conclusion. This is a fine piece of contemporary writing for the advanced guitarist. I've had the pleasure of reviewing two previous works from this series but this probably holds the most interest so far."
