Chapedelaine was the only guitarist ever to win First Prize in the world's top competitions in both the Classical and Fingerstyle genres.
He also won the silver medal in Venezuela's VIII Concurso International de Guitarra "Alirio Diaz".
He toured four continents while giving hundreds of performances for Affiliate Artists Inc., and various arts promotion organizations.
In 1992 he recorded the Sonata Romantica CD, (now re-released as "Mexico"), about which Acoustic Guitar magazine (January 1993) wrote "... if I were marooned on a desert island with a limited selection of recordings, this one would be among my choices...I have seldom heard a more beautiful album.
Other young guitarists have excellent technique, but few have such style and musicality, and Chapdelaine's beautiful tone is the nearest to Segovia's that I can recall."
