It's sad that I'm one of the fewest guitar players that perform this masterpieces in my generation

Oh, just beautiful!

[rc79rc79]

beautiful

[shredmaster100]

yngwie malmsteen can do this a lot faster check out him playing it at hyper speed in japan 1985 its amazing just type in ygwie malmsteen solo 1985 its awesome

[myfairvanity]

@shredmaster100 this isn't shred, shredmaster. this piece has nothing to do with speed. being a classical guitarist is hard enough without "shredders" sucking the integrity out of classical music.

[shredmaster100]

dont be a yngwie malmsteen ,hater he is a guitar god and a genius lets see this guy compose a concerto for an orchestra yngwie is a genius and if people would listen to his music and stop hating him all the time he would get the respect he deserves and he can play any classical violin piece on guitar as well same as jason becker he was another genius

Hello sir...I love your music, could I please have a tab for this piece of Heaven? Thank you

[Michajeru]

Such lovely music; so peaceful and relaxing.

[osoosado]

Me conmueve!!!! me emociona tu interpretación, es la más bella que escuche

[Satchfan96]

thank you Per-Olov...you brought tears of joy to my eyes with this beautiful renditioning of one of Bach's Masterpieces. Thank you and God bless you.

[LordPrutsikas]

beautiful...this simple tune kills all the mainstream crap music of today

[DebbiesCalle]

Helt otroligt välspelat! Denna står alltid först på listan när jag och min kära behöver litet avkoppling! Fullt betyg från mig!

[myaukat]

"all left reversed" :-)) Thank you for sharing this beautiful music!

[falconer87]

Just beautiful.

[lovemanuwy]

fantastic! where can i get this stave? can u share it plz? thank u!

[MarcinMinkowski]

Jag tycker om den här kompositionen och du spelar mycket bra. Jag spelar också gitarr och jag skulle vilja spela lika bra som du. Jag läser svenska också. Bästa hälsningar från Polen!

[fltme2]

I love this arrangement, it's not only beautiful but challenging to play for me anyway. Awesome work, I look forward to seeing more of your work. Here's an idea, maybe you could make a video teaching how to play this arrangement from the chords and the fingering.

[RenatoFBarbosa]

I never tire of seeing and hearing you. I hope you live long and prosper so that we can always count on that privilege.

[Zazmiz]

Just bought the sheet music with tabs, nice and clean.

[jeffreydebra1]

This is absolutely outstanding!

[TheonetheycallTaz]

You are abosolutely amazing! I played this piece in a string quartet for a school assesment but you play it at a much higher level than my quartet did. Thank you!

[Machinehead18]

Wow truly amazing my friend! This is my favorite video of yours i watch it all the time! I unfortunetly don't own a classical guitar but i did get an acoustic for Christmas! So i was wondering if you have the time you could maybe tell me what are some good exercises for my right hand for speed and strength!? Thank you!

[SofiaPanicAtTheDisco]

Sir , what kind of guitar is it? By the way , incredible sound,greetings from Chile.

[jingle552]

how long have you been playing the guitar?

[chemberjazzband]

Its realli voundifull, I find you for this christmas and its a supper gift for me, continu a beautiful live. Zoltan

[Klassiskgitarrluta]

Otroligt fint, känsligt och lyhört som vanligt. Tycker särskilt om det inåtvänt dröjande, meditativa lugnet i din tolkning.

[ddoychev]

Can't stop listening. So beautiful, so melodious, so deep! This is the best arrangement and the best performance of this piece I've ever heard. Bravo, Maestro!

[JAMMcomposers]

You have such a beautiful touch... Everyone else I've seen play this is just too robotic. I can really feel the time and effort you put into this. Congratulations and Well done! :)

[TheBaroqueChannel]

Check my channel for more baroque and classical music!

[riodet]

[allenc84]

Sir, this is amazing. You carry the melody so beautifully; it seems effortless :)

[wegputzer1979]

I am 15 and absolutely love this song, I play guitar as well, thank you so much for making my day with this beautiful performance!

[norezenable]

Absolutely incredible.

It's early Christmas eve morning, taking a break from assembling picture frames to be given tomorrow and found this. From the mind of Bach, down to and through you (and your wonderful guitar), and over the internet into my home this morning. It's a wonder.

[MrManieshmaduranga]

thank you sir..you are great...

[Nephente]

Amazing arrangement. Congratulations from Houston. I bought your arrangement and now I am learning it.

[SolSilence]

That was great :)

[johhanna43]

Wunderschön ich danke dir!

[Ocongate]

My kid´s learning how to play the guitar. We´re listening to your performance right now, so he can discover what wonderful things this instrument can achieve in the hands of a talented player. Thank you for sharing with us your art... Greetings from Peru....

[ORELLACROTCIV]

truly I say to you when making a melody like this needs to be felt. must be one. respect for this music is great from my point of view 10 + + +

[AndanteLargo]

Thank YOU! I am honored.

Per-Olov

[shahienmusic]

@AndanteLargo I m f fan from The Nederlands, sir could you please play Asturias and Manha de carnaval.

[matthewmeyerj]

you are such a great guitar player, I hope one day I can play as well as you. God gave you a wonderful gift

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks a lot Matthew! I am honored. I am sure you will be better than I am if you keep playing.

Merry Christmas.

Per-Olov

[TheKingofthefishes]

@AndanteLargo It's how you deftly switch between chords while still providing the trills that seems amazing to me. I also hope I can one day play this.

[levisque67]

That low F to high A stretch in the third measure and then playing smoothly is difficult! If I can get used to moving through those hand positions, I can get this. I purchased your music and am happily watching your video to learn this. Thank you.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you for playing (and buying) my arrangement. I am sure you will get that horrible stretch!

Keep playing!

Per-Olov

[singenie]

This is amazing.

[AndanteLargo]

[spitfiremj10]

If you like Peo on youtube then you will want to see him live in concert at the Park head hotel, Coundon, Durham, UK on Friday the 6th of April 2012. He is performing with Chris Milner the UK singer/songwriter. Don't miss this great event.

[EverybodyScramble]

Do you play with fingernails or fingertips? Thanks. The agressive/trebly sound makes me think nails...But that could also be the high quality and projection of your guitar/skills.

[AndanteLargo]

Hi! I use my fingernails. Most classical guitarists do.

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[EverybodyScramble]

@AndanteLargo Ah, thanks very much!

What is your opinion of acrylic nails vs. natural nails? I don't want to wait that long...

[AndanteLargo]

No, Please don't use fake nails! I suggest you wait anyways...

Per-Olov

[EversoleKid]

What a decent and true, deep kind of virtuosity. Like a visit at the cathedral of Per-Olov's inner self. Really wonderful. That's the teacher I've always been dreaming to have.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you! i am honored. i hope you can learn something form listening to me.

Per-Olov

[MrKal215]

bravo, your performance brings back memories of playing classical music my self, I should start playing again.

I was told at the university today to play Bach at the exams, but I don´t play piano and you have just inspired me to do it this way;) You are great

[1973avm]

Muy hermosa interpretaciòn !!!

[louthejew44]

Peo, i wrote u about having to play this Air at a wedding ceremony this summer. I u Gave a listen again what a fine arrangement it is ! love it , and as always recorded flawlessly in your own style! good luck on your new cd! You certainly have many fans here on youtube!

Lou

[glentreb]

What a feast of talent and pure guitar heart!!!!

Thank you for your music !!

[WillbertWallace]

Those individuals who disliked this video lack a soul.

Also, 5,000th comment.

[utilitarian12]

that bassline just keeps you confident and faultless delivery on the melody, rich tone, resonance, comforting pace.. banging

[tmatheson54]

Peo my friend I received your AIR CD in the mail. I have it at work today and I'm playing it while I work. You are bad because it is making it difficult to work while listening to such calming and inspirational classical guitar greats... OK maybe I'm bad for listening to it while working. HA. From one fair guitarist to a great guitarist thank you. It makes me want to rush home and pick up my Takamine Classical and strive to perfection!

[reynirhauks1]

So bach stole his ideas from procol harum?

[2Albrecht]

I have very find memories of my dad playing this song on the Organ. This song brings tears to my eyes and touches my heart!

[MrJello53]

After the beauty and the beast (Anna Vidovic & E.Rossfelder) Peo is my favourite:

The quiet guitarist!

Thanks for your musicality.

[Michajeru]

I really love the way you play - the sound of your guitar is sweet to my ears. You play with such dignity and gentleness. Perfect phrasing, lovely tones.

[drrsmt]

I felt the music, the touch was so loving on the strings and that really moved me. Thank you immensely.

[qleaudtsac]

That was absolutely awesome, just had to sit and listen, breathless. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

[0mmex]

very good

[yiyimoify]

so beautiful,can't stop listening it !

[GuitarStrings44]

Beautiful!

What type/wind of strings do you use?

[JustYourFriendRob]

Beautiful, and ever so graceful. You have a great stylistic tone :)

[Framtidsjag]

Fantastiskt bra spelat.

[shinidaman]

I think this strikes anyone with its beauty; easily be popular.

love the transition between the different tones: from soft, gentle tone to Broque-Harpsichord-like hard sound.

love that small ornaments such as trills here and there.

well played.

Unfortunately this is not so authentic in a sense that it sounds quite grand and lavish for pre-1750 era composition; but popular for now.

I might not be the only one who found the entire sound little bit being reverebed.

Or is it addeded on mixing?

[jackscholze]

You play the Air on G string so very well, I have ben trying for quite ahile to play it, so now you have inspired me to finish my own interpretation, thank you.

Most beautiful playing.

[INSANESUICIDESOLDIER]

why the fuck ppl dislike this?? only because they can't play like him or they never liked it and come here to dislike, haters.

[shahienmusic]

1:13 till 1:15 is fantastic. also the rest..

[Marmonery]

This is so beautiful! Your skills takes my breath away!

[Albert2nin]

I've been watching you for years on YouTube. You inspired me so much to go to music school, I'm auditioning November 11th on VCU Music Department. Thank you so much for your videos and sharing your knowledge.

@Albert2nin Good luck!

[playbackist]

Many feelings of this guitar play......Well done, great piece...

[x10500501x]

Also playing this tune right now on my classical guitar. I started studying it about 5 years ago with my guitar-teacher. He taught it to my very well but not as "full" as your version. So now I will look for passages from your version to mix it up. It is a beautiful piece by Bach and so easy to flow and sink in it while playing.

I've got to say your style of playing is tremendous at this elaborate song.

I'm very impressed !!!

Greets from Germany.

[cruiserkid1]

Beautiful....

[suhelmukherjee]

The vibratos are perfect, the tone is perfect. Actually goes on to show, that a classical guitar is not just about finger picking, it is also about where you are picking, the force with which you are picking, and how each note MEANS something, hence sounds with a different intensity, which takes you on this ride called AIR. Bach is a genius, and yes Sir, you are a genius to have done this adaptation! Wonderful. Many congratulations!

[TheHowks]

Incredible.



[MultiT66]

Wow! Mycket bra spelat! Jag bugar.

[srothbardt]

Good use of the appoggiaturas. Excellent tone.

[srothbardt]

Excellent. Segovia would like it and I do.

[reanimator9]

what a sound...wow... you are a master

[NoizyInSeattle]

A balanced and sensitive performance of an immortal piece of music.

Very nice dynaymics.

[lobstersoup67]

Detta är utan tvekan den bäste versionen jag någonsin hört på gitarr. Spelar du offentligt någon gång så man kan få njuta av ditt fantastiska gitarrspel live?

Hur är det möjligt att du inte är mer känd i Sverige än vad du är, med tanke att din talang håller världsklass och mer därtill?

[MrCrystaldrop]

The best version I've ever heard...

After trying hard to search the tabs on your online-store, I still cannot find this one...

Did you put this on your store? I do really hope to buy this tab: )

For this reason, I registered a youtube account...

[nicocatman]

It is excellent ...

You are living the soul of Bach...

[Hoogenbloogen]

You are my favourite classical guitar player. You don't mess around with/over-complicate the classics like some do, your technique is masterful, your interpretations are always my favourites and the tone you produce is just superb. Never stop posting videos!

[Paquinho123]

Wonderful song played by a wonderful instrumentist. I wish to play guitar like you, Peo Kindgren. Congratulations.

[ang3las0ng]

I remember the first time I heard this song on a CD when I was four years old. It was so haunting and beautiful. I'll remember it forever. :)

[vman0310]

Outstanding! You are truly gifted.
