Contemplación (Per-Olov Kindgren)

[tomasemilio]

I sounds a little like barrios' "la catedral". Beautiful man!

[SingHouse]

hmmm was this inspired by La Catedral by any chance? :)

[Groove1993]

it kinda sounds like La catedral, written by Barrios

[ungusfungus]

I wish I could afford the tabs for this! I'm in love with this song!!!

You are truly a genius with the guitar Per Olov, I know someday I'll play like you ;).

Just so deep, the feelings you put into your songs... You make it all sound perfectly, note by note.

Just speechless! No words to describe what your music does to one.

Bravo!

[PasqualePellicani]

Very beautiful!!

[profilemorbid83]

very moving song.

you are my favorite classical player/composer.

i will learn to play this some day

[TpRunelover2008]

Very beautiful. A lovely composition.

By the way, is that a classic guitar? The strings seem to be in nylon, it sounds a bit like my classic guitar and the fretboard is as large as mine's, so it sure looks like one.

[ceyeber62]

Beautiful composition! Trying it out myself and it is really relaxing. Thanks for sharing as your guitar playing keeps inspiring me and got me through some really rough spots lately.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you! I am happy my playing can inspire you. But sad you have some problems. I hope you can solve them and be smiling again.

Happy playing.

Per-Olov

[TempoDiVals]

Bellísima melodia!, su música es excepcional.

Saludos desde Perú.

[cryman89]

I'm playing this piece for a jury tomorrow, I've played it a million times and I'm not tired of it!

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there! I am happy to hear that! What great news. I wish you good luck tomorrow (today) and please let me know how it went. OK?

All the best and keep playing.

Per-Olov

[AndanteLargo]

Per-Olov

[sergeytry]

Beautifully done...

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks a lot!!

Per-Olov

[masteircheef]

the sheet music for this is not on your website :(

[AndanteLargo]

Hi my friend.

Yes, if you look under Original compositions (C-D) and page 2 !!... you'll find it.

I hope you will play this too.

All the best,

Per-Olov

[masteircheef]

@AndanteLargo Thank you, this will more than likely be a purchase to add to your bank account :) All i have to say is live long and keep making beautiful music for us :)

[AndanteLargo]

Hello my friend. Thank you. I am happy to know this might be on your repertoire.

I hope so.

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[MikeyIV]

It seems you have been listening to Barrios's "La Catedral" lately....It sounds a little to similar at the beginning, but then it gets its own personality.

[babydolphine]

Just wonderful !! No words to describe what I feel when I hear you playing !!

Thanks for sharing this with us !!

[gnmithun]

APPLAUSE APPLAUSE APPLAUSE APPLAUSE

[danud321]

Hello Peo superb as usual, especially this one ... Thanks for the beautiful musics you composed over the years. Haven't been chgot to run and buy from you. ecking for a while and look how many new recordings you have BRAVO!

Merry Christmas to you San

[kalllesvensson]

Im going to call you "Amazing kindgren" from now on....

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there Elwin,

Thank you! I am so happy for what you do for me. And I am honored you like this.

all the best,

Per-Olov

[zylelfskariranariza]

it's really beautiful...

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you my friend. appreciated.

Per-Olov

[spectrumifs]

Profoundly beautiful!

[Bindiman1]

Sorry, "Hallgren" not Hallberg .....

[MarkAntony]

There you are Peo...You might even subtitle this piece homage to Barrios....I think the great maestro Agustin would be honoured by the title and your composition, well done.

Put that snooker cue down! All these compliments are no reason to stop your practise, guitar that is! Take care amigo!

[AndanteLargo]

Dear Mark. Sorry for not replying. I have been exhausted by replying to so many comments... I was inspired by Barrios. I hope he is listening from up there...

I continue to practice my snooker. I am at the moment an excellent player. You should see some of the tricks I can do! WOW! I am amazing! I can make the ball bounce, tip over a bottle and hit the walls in the room and before returning to the table, knock over a lamp. I am amaaaazing!

Peo :-)))

[Foxdye55]

@AndanteLargo HA! Do you seriously think I will fall for that one? You need none of those skills to win my hard earned fortune from me...I grow ever more confident..Though I can myself perform ONE of the skills you mention..Wonder which one..

Take care Peo, and don't work TOO hard!

[thebrassmonkey100]

beautiful....

[MrMartinczech]

da hab´ich doch das Präludium von Barrios von 1938 und Cavatina von Myers gehört?

wundervoll und noch so jung....

[AndanteLargo]

Hallo! Vielen Dank.

Per-Olov

[janiehutch]

oh WOW!

You have written a real GEM here my friend

I am going to have to try this one!

Janie x

[AndanteLargo]

Dear Janie,

Thank you! I hope you will play this some day. I miss your music. Posting soon?

Love,

Per-Olov

[janiehutch]

@AndanteLargo Hi Per-Olov

It's lovely to hear your music and I will have a go at this one soon

I've posted a couple this week, including your lovely 'I'll be there' as I think (HOPE) I can play it a little better now

Janie x

[GuenterGeurts]

Hello Per-Olov, I was already with one foot in the cathedral :-)

But then it was a real Peo!!! Very, very nice harmonies. I like it.

All the best,

Guenter

[AndanteLargo]

Hallo Gunter! Thank you!

All the best for you too!

Love,

Per-Olov

[cryman89]

bought the sheet music and learned it yesterday...amazing piece..i planned on working on the first page and played for 4 hours, the song was too enjoyable!

[AndanteLargo]

:-) wow! That is so nice to hear!! Thank you for playing my music!

How is it going? Will you post it here? Please...?

Good luck!

Per-olov

[cryman89]

@AndanteLargo Absolutely! I've been swamped with preparation for an upcoming jury performance, but I will polish it and post it soon

[AnkeZohm]

This touched my soul so much!

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks Anke!

Appreciated.

Per-Olov

[seanrker]

An extraordianry song, a perfect performance, a clean amaizing sound. thanks for that wonderfull composition. greetings from Colombia.

[AndanteLargo]

Hola!

Muchas gracias!

Saludos desde Suecia,

Per-olov

[radu122]

you obviously got inspiration from the first part of Le Catedral

[AndanteLargo]

Yepp! I did.

Per-olov

[elviragagliardi]

braooooooooooo peo

[AndanteLargo]

Thank youuuuuuuu!

Per-Olov

[fhulkster]

You keep pulling them out of the bag Per, just brilliant. BRAVO.

[nham0408]

I always love your music, simply beautiful. Thanks so much for what you've bring. You're my favourite musician ^^

[Utubesuxmycock]

peo

this would sound very beautiful with strings. an orchestration. perhaps an oboe or harpsichord

possibilities are endless

have you considered composing with more voices?

[tetomapa]

I'll never get tired of your songs!!!

[Elwink]

I just love it, what else is there to say? Own composition? Stunning. Sorry to ruin my post, but even my turtle starts to swing around in his water, haha...

[dk73us]

Hi Per-Olav! Thanks for your reply. I did find you piece on your website. I bought it and I'm now learning it. Its fun to learn (though) I'm still a beginner. I look forward to your next creation. Thanks for taking the time to reply!

[toycityworld]

it would be some thing wounderfull if you could play alongside Maestro Renato Bellucci he a great guy, you two could play together, this peices is some thing special and magical, Im going to drop him an email. awesome, very very nice.

[AndanteLargo]

Hola Amigo! Muchas gracias!

I am so happy to know I can inspire you. As a classical guitar teacher, that is one of the best comments I can get.

Alhambra 5P is a beautiful and suitable guitar for you! No problems. If you have a chance to try more than one 5p in the store, please do. They are very different. All good, but different.

Good luck and above all; keep playing and listening

Per-Olov

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you Hans! Appreciated.

Per-Olov

[aajfonseca]

Lovely composition and execution. Thank you for the pleasure.

[elope53]

elope53 beatiful, how can I get the transripts to play in church.? I composed 10 songs and I would like you to listen to them.

[hombrelobo28]

Dice mis esposa que tocas muy bien. Le gusto mucho. Estamos pendientes de sus videos. Gracias y saludos maestro.

[AndanteLargo]

Hola! Muchas gracias!

Per-Olov

[dk73us]

Do you sell the sheet music on your website? I love this piece. The sound really does start out on the 1st couple measures like La Catedral....but it is very different.

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there! Yes, I do have the tab and sheet music on my web shop. I would be happy if you tried this too.

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[Qpidon]

you compose stunning music faster that I can write you a decent message!?

What food are you getting there in Sweden..?! or is it because you where born in Bogota? ;-D

Lovely as ever: your uploads are like beautiful falling stars making their way through daytime. And they light me up every single time.

Thank you for this,

Pascal.

[AndanteLargo]

Hola Pascal!

#LOL I eat 100% Swedish food like: pizza, hamburgers, Salmon, pasta, turkey, falafel, Kebab, empanadas ... all with a glass of French wine or a Guinness. THEN I PLAY!!

Joke aside. Thank you my friend for all your beautiful comments. I am so honored every time I read them. >>>>This one with the falling stars... sigh...

Have a great weekend, my dear and hug your family.

Per-Olov

[subbotniki]

(cont..) .. handsome and beautiful as well! Is it a he or she Sir?! I keep listening to you P-O and you know I'm a fan of yours. Eh, oui! Aprés d'été c'est contemplación en Suede monsieur...

[subbotniki]

Ooops, you did it again! Another fantastic tune from you P-O. Everytime I listen to your compositions a special kind of feeling enter me: Thankfulness. I don't know why, ut's just the way it is.. maybe because it's because of the way you contribute; I think you give the world the best flavors of music and love.

I just bought myself an Alhambra 4P..without dots!!! Actually I think it works fine, I think it's a matter of habit. Your new guitar is not only creating lovely sound, it's handsome ..

[AndanteLargo]

Ahhh Merci boucoup! I am really happy for your comment(s). Thank you!!

Congratulations with your new 4p! It is a very good guitar!!

(and I am getting used to the missing dot at 7th fret too) :-)

I think my guitar is blushing right now. No one called it "handsome" before.

Thank you for keeping listening to me.

Have a great day.

Per-Olov

[Liranm89]

This is probably my favourite piece of you, from the new pieces though.. really really good!! I missed listenng to your music :)

Liran

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there Liran,

Thank you! I am so happy to see you are still around. Happy?

Are you still playing your guitar?

I hope so.

Stay well, my friend!

Per-Olov

[Liranm89]

@AndanteLargo Yes I'm still playing, but less. believe me all I want is to sit and play guitar all day, but I can't :( still got the passion for the instrument :) and I hope forever

I'm glad to hear from you! take care

Liran

[okla1955]

As a heart patient, I look for soothing music to comfort me. Your's is the most relaxing and beautiful music I have found on here. Thank you so much for your work.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank YOU! I am very happy to hear my music can calm you. You have to take care!

I know of a dentist in LA that uses my new CD (Distant Love) for his patience! He says it calms them before and during treatment!

Stay strong!

Per-olov

[TerrenceMcLerence]

Amazing and beautiful. You play very well.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you! Appreciated.

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[skydark15]

Suena muy parecido a la Catedral de Mangore, parece una variación de hecho.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you Harald! I hope to compose more pieces on this new guitar.

Per-Olov

[Am00h]

This music is so beautiful and I was so happy to see it posted up the morning of my birthday :) Thank you so much. Your music moves my heart ..God bless !

[AndanteLargo]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Thank you. I wish you all the best!

Per-olov

[reymer101]

Saludos desde Suecia

Per-Olov

[musicbruise]

I really like this piece, and your goatee looks great on you.

[AndanteLargo]

:-) Thanks for both...

Per-Olov

[Marsipaniaa]

Simply amazing... Bach would have been proud Per-Olov! Thank you for the inspiration.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you!

Per-Olov

[Emmalala123]

The start reminds me a little of the prelude of La Catedral by Barrios.

Wonderful composition anyway (as always :))!

[Jolie028]

GREAT!

[AndanteLargo]

Muchas gracias mi amiga.

Per-Olov

[horaciotg23]

Hermosa Peo, como siempre, felicidades.

[pianolla1]

I keep watching your face when i watch your videos it brings tears to my eyes how it affects you and reminds me i get this strange feeling when ever i play anything i composed on the piano ... thank u for sharing i loved your composition dont stop composing :)

[AndanteLargo]

:-) Thank you. I can't help getting involved in the music...

Per-Olov

[JensHausmann]

What a nice piece, and the new guitar sure comes out with a beautiful tone!

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks Jens,

Appreciated. Yes, the Per Hallgren guitar is amazing.

Per-Olov

[Roselyne18]

Bonjour cher Per-Olov, merci beaucoup mon ami :-)

Your interpretation is wonderful, as always ;-)

Hugs, Rosy

[AndanteLargo]

Bonjour chérie Rosy,

Merci boucoup.

Per-Olov

[TolgaZidane]

you are the name will be talked about as a great composer in the future.

[AndanteLargo]

:-) thanks a lot! I hope so. You never know...

All the best,

Per-Olov

[SoulCheese77]

Actually, the notes are the exact same notes as the first movement in La Catedral, and it starts off quite the same, but the melody is different. You can definitely see the influence.

Regardless, it's beautiful.

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there. Thank you. Only the first measure really sounds like La Catedral...

Per-Olov

[barrios123]

Very nice indeed. Thanks very much.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank YOU!

Per-Olov

[MartialGandhi]

This absolutely wonderful. What brand of strings do you use?

[AndanteLargo]

Hi!

I use A new, great brand called OASIS GPX Carbon HT

you can find them at stringsbymail. com

Try them! Really the best I have tried so far.

Per-Olov

[anaslashko]

Indeed very relaxing, calming melody.

Very beautiful composition.. Thanks for sharing, all the way from middle east ( Oman)

Hope too see more videos..

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you. I am happy you are listening to me all the way from Oman. I hope you will keep listening to me.

Per-Olov

[meirenc]

Per-Olov

[IMRezpected]

reminds me of Act One in La Catedral.

[Vreci]

Hi my dear friend from the north!

warmth, strongness, ... I think everything is possible with your new guitar!

Really beautiful. The right instrument for this composition!

cu next year (we promise),

Wolfgang & Karin

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there southern man. I am very happy with my new guitar! Perfect for me. More power but still sweeet... and the new strings I use is really interesting. You should try them! Your Marty will be like a rocket!! :-)

And again thanks for the Waltz á la Wienerschnitzel! You are the best!

Peo

[Vreci]

@AndanteLargo

Hi northern guy!

What is the name of the strings ?

And ------ YOU are the best

wolfgang

[AndanteLargo]

Good morning Wolfgang!

Let's argue about who is the best over a glass of beer some day. OK?

These strings are called Oasis. The best I have ever tried! If you know Savarez Allianze (carbon stings). Then these are much better! Not so thin and very laud and in perfect tune! You can order them from StringsByMail. com or from Hollan and Switzerland. There is a link on my web site.

See you over a beer!

PS. I am still amazed at your Waltz! Thank you. YOU are the best.

Peo

[macmanue]

@AndanteLargo Sorry to hijack your conversation! lol

I must say, I also tried the Oasis carbon Trebles recently! I had the same experience! They were beautiful, bright, LOUD and the sustain was AMAZING! I immediately thought I had found the perfect strings for my guitar! But, nothing can be perfect and the only fault I can find with these strings is that their lifespan is a lot shorter than D'addario and they can 'peel' or shred. Have you had that issue?

[macmanue]

@AndanteLargo The high 'E' on my first set lasted about 1 hour before it started shredding above the fingerboard! I had to file my fingertips on my LH to make sure they didn't have any sharp edges. The second set I used was much better and lasted about 4 weeks....I have a few more sets at home and am looking forward to giving them a good test over the holidays!

I believe Roland Dyens also uses Oasis strings!

Take care

- Michael -

[JPmax89]

@AndanteLargo Härligt att höra Peo!

Hör jag fel eller är detta stycke lite inspirerat från Preludio i La Catedral-sviten?

[AndanteLargo]

Hej1 Tack. Ja, du har rätt. Jag tyckte att jag ville starta som Perludiet men göra ett mera modernt och lättare stycke.

Per-Olov

[Palomablanca2008]

Breathtaking!! 

[AndanteLargo]

:-)

Thank you.

Per-Olov

[anmoose]

Per, this is stunning! Powerful, reticent, demanding, shy, insistent, even fragile. A remarkable series of contemplaciónes. (Okay, I have no idea how to spell the plural. I type in Southern American Redneck. Deal with it.)

Seriously, I'm back to stunning. I love this!

[AndanteLargo]

WOW! you know so many words... :-)

Thank you my friend.

Per

[pLaIrVaIdNoGx]

the delicate dance of forbidden love, what more can be said? gorgeous. thanks again

So beautiful and peaceful. It makes me thinking about a man lonely sitting in front of a lake at the sunset and watching the calm waves slowly moving the reflection of the mountain in the distance... and thinking about Life. Your music is really inspiring

[AndanteLargo]

WOW! Roberto, you are a lyric! Beautiful images you made there. Thank you.

Per-Olov

[dracychan]

hello Mr. Per-Olov i like your style of playing very much. i am learning to play classical too and now i am looking for a good guitar to buy. could you please suggest me some models i can look out for and what is good about them? and which make is your guitar ? how many guitars do you have and which one is your favourite? please don't mind me asking so much.. but i am really interested to know :) thank you

[AndanteLargo]

Hi. The space (and time) here does not allow me to answer all your questions...

I suggest you find an Alhambra model 5p. Very good for the price. Easy toplay and high quality.

I have two guitars and I love them both.

Good luck with your playing.

Per-Olov

[AcousticLeroy]

@dracychan I've got an Admira Artista, its a really nice guitar. the sound is really warm, i would recommend it

[AndanteLargo]

Hi Robert!

It's great you can listen and play different kind of music!
