[AndanteLargo]

Thanks! a lot! You can order this arrangement as PDF at my web shop if you follow the link under the video. :-))

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[FernandoVigilio42]

perfect! I love this song

[luchinavy]

Gracias!! por tan hermosas melodías Sr. Per-Olov. desde Chile. Ojalá incluya en su repertorio alguna versión del "Ave María" (Schubert-Gounod-etc.).

Thank you! Mr. Per-Olov for yours beautiful melodies, from Chile. Maybe you can includyn in your playlist some "Ave María" (Schubert-Bach-Gounod). Sorry for my imperfect Enghish. Thaks!!!

[sociojeje]

I guess i have the same sheet. I play all the same notes.. without critical errors. but.. wow.. how you can put your emotion in your playing? thanks for inspiring me. I knew i have a long long way to go. just for playing, this isn't a hard tune at all. but i guess i need 10 more years to play like you.

[SuperCharlesFox]

What a delightful, rich tone. Superb sound & lovely playing - as always.

[wakeus777]

11 dislikes? more like 11 people who will never be able to play this

[skycenk]

Too much reverb. Review begins with a pleasant, not incompatible

[00Mickx]

I had to get online just to give you my praise . . this is the very best composition I've ever heard of this song . . .absolutely wonderful!!!!!

[mukkohaha]

This is just so amazing, 1 single guitar playing this ? and his hands are at work :) he makes it sound so controlled and fluid, even tho it's almost impossible to play.

great work !

[huffalmighty]

Per Olov, how long have you been playing the classical guitar? did you take lessons?

I'm 18, I've been a metal guitar player for 4 years or so and just started getting into learning classical guitar, any advice or props would be appreciated. I like how clean and well executed your playing sounds, I'd really like to hear that in my playing more too.

[CAVERN1234]

i love to listen to you play, this is is my favourite piece David Qualey also does a nice rendition of thia also

[AsphyxGr]

I was watching your videos almost all night. Really wonderful performance, thank you for the colorful company !

[PremiumSnipe]

wow!!! your guitar playing skills are amazing!! i hope that i can play like you one of these days!! youve inspired me to play clasical music, and i have learned that its really hard to play!! thanks so much!!

kindly,

Greg

[angelyda]

i feel so honoured to be listening to you play for me for free.

[TheMarian0000]

"Soar to uncreated light Word of God, our flesh that fashioned"

You most certainly make this beautiful melody soar to the heavens

Drawn by Thee our souls aspiring.

[mrfujimata]

There are many other musicians who can play these notes but not with this color and warmth and emotion. You are in a class all by yourself Mr. Kindgren.

[boya307]

Beautiful!! I will show this clip to my son. He's been learning guitar for 6 months now. What brand of guitar would you recommend for children?

[johhanna43]

Es ist wunderbar, ich bin so beeindruckt! Ich verneige mich vor Ihrem Können!!!!!

[johhanna43]

ich bin so beeindruckt danke!

[vaibanez17]

I just learned this song on guitar, then I saw yours, and I realized I learned nothing :(

[EversoleKid]

All the people around here have already told what I have wished to say about your music (of course only the two very best of them:) I don't know why, but I like your style more than even the most famous guitarists, because of the very full and strong sound of your guitar, and – what is even more: – because of your modest and warm kind of playing. Really, really pure meditation for me. Thank you, Max

[davidhdionisio]

What kind of guitar are you using?! this is amazing by the way!

[dmitrit81]

I like a lot to listen to this composition from time to time, thanks :)

[Jaapdeemus]

very nice sound! what for guitar have you got? a real spanish?

[MARCIOMENDES1239]

Just wonderful! The peace of mind when you play the notes, it's amazing!

[jpdelfinoful]

Dear Per-Olov,totally inspired I discovered you few days ago.I felt totally inspired because of your spirit and humanity in your compositions. All of your works are pure meditations. I am very grateful to you for the spark of light that you create in this world. I am 31 years guitar beginner. I hope someday to play with the same spirit as you do.

Kind Regards,

Juan Pablo

[AndanteLargo]

Dear Juan Pablo,

Thank you for your kind words. I am happy you'found me' here. It is good to know I can inspire you to play more.

Please keep listening and above all, keep playing!

Per-Olov

[MrDcseltzer]

Beautiful Work Per :) David

[ClevoMaiden]

PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. Perfect tone. Perfect execution.

[Deriviado]

fantastiskt spelat! kul att hitta dig här, den här stycket har jag letat länge efter, och riktigt fin gitarr! hälsn. Axel

[AndanteLargo]

Hek Axel,

Tack för att du lyssnar på mig. Denna finns på min senaste CD. (fin antydning, eh?)

Ha en bra dag.

Per-Olov

[rallestar1]

Really amazing playing. Such respect for the supreme musicianship of Bach really shines through, listening to this one feels as if hearing Bach unmediated, pure. Fantastic phrasing and sense of dynamics as well. Listening to this makes one feel like both the performer and composer are in possession of genuine humanity.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am honored.

Kind regards,

Per-Olov

[Pipixcan69]

Lovely tone Per-Olov

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you. I am happy you liked it!

Per-Olov

[goonerswak]

the sound was awesome..how did he recorded such a nice sound?

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks. Please go to my web site and see under news. There I have my setup explained.

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[ProjectFreeSelf]

I love your playing. Just had a custom guitar made for me, because I want to learn to play these. Only thing I don't like is the concert-hall reverb added to the audio...

[dhclrhks]

this was actually the most peaceful play of jesu, joy of man's desiring i have ever listened to... thank you for uploading...

[AndanteLargo]

... and thank you for listening and your kind words.

Per-Olov

[tiasamu]

beautiful colors

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks a lot! Appreciated.

Per-Olov

[mikkelberner]

thumbs up. J.S. is so cool it is hard to believe but his music can stand up to be played on any instrument. The magic is in the tones. How many composers can you say that about ?

[AndanteLargo]

I agree 100%.

Kind regards,

Per-Olov

[mikkelberner]

@AndanteLargo My friend Carsten Dahl (Danish Jazz pianist) is releasing a huge BACH release very soon.. BACH interpreted in his own way, with some unusual instrumentation as well.. such as wineglasses, the seal from a snare drum on piano strings.. you should check that one out when it comes out.. :)

[AndanteLargo]

OK! Great! I will. Thanks for the info!

Per-Olov

[icespeckledhens]

truly masterful

[AndanteLargo]

Thank YOU!

I am honored.

Per-Olov

[vaibach]

Excellent interpretation. exquisite melodic sounds and some lines that stands out as one. It's the best performance I've heard of this issue, no doubt.

You're a master of classical guitar!

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you so much. I am happy you like my version of this beautiful piece.

All the best,

Beautiful! I've just learned this (inspired by you). Now need to work on perfecting it.

Out of interest, what recording equipment do you use? I was thinking about recording but I wouldn't know where to start, and your recordings are always so crisp.

Thanks!

G

[bradomin2020]

very nice interpretation, not too fast, expressive of the beauty of of the melody and harmony. I wonder how Bach would have played it. I like your arrangement more than Russel's, is it available? cheers

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you. I am happy for your kind words.

Yes, you can find this and all my arrangements by following the link under the video. (see more).

Saludos desde Suecia.

[juanyuhuyu]

[AndanteLargo]

Hola! Que tal?

I will let you know if ever I visit Colombia again.

Saludos desde Suecia.

[6stringsatch]

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks! I am happy you liked my version.

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[blablawehwa]

Hi Per,

in my opinion Bach is still one of the componists ever and i like so many compositions of him, your version for guitar is really a great effort! Thank you for your music!

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you so much. I am honored.

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[dmitrit81]

I also have approximately the same music sheet in use (I put the same composition on my YouTube channel)

[arfurlife]

the more I see and hear of your playing the more I like it. You have such class and style. yet another hearty well done. you offer a lot to the joy of music.

[debeshbhattarai]

loved to hear U play, music is mysterious...

[blaksephirot]

@PGreeneart you can put auto replay c;

[MasterKyleTheGreat]

Thanks again! As always, that was beautiful!

[AndanteLargo]

Thank YOU! I am happy you listen to me.

All the best,

Per-Olov

[fieldfullofthistles]

Very moving - I love the way you bring the volume up and down and change the pace ever so slightly to give it feeling. Id better start practicing those things! Ive subbed you as you are very good,.

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks! I am happy you like my version.

Kind regards,

Per-Olov

[NITALLICA247]

how do you hold your guitar like that?

[AndanteLargo]

Hi. I have a GITANO to support my guitar.

Per-Olov

[TheMoreStronger]

Finally a decent wel played version.

And not just decent. Absolutely fantastic interpretation, serene, warm and tender. Worthy of playing for Jesus =D

Thank you.

[wobblefluff]

Beautiful.



[lavanguardiadelsol]

THIS IS EPIC MAN YOU ARE FANTASTIC!!

[dvmo]

if you don't mind me asking, what is that guitar name and model? kinda looks like my old gibson but i highly doubt it my gibson is over 50 years old

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there. I play a hand made guitar by Philippe Jean-Mairet from Switzerland. It was built in 1987.

I didn't know Gibson made classical guitars. :-)

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[lesgansta1]

how can i get a copy of this? our graduates wanted to walk to this for their graduation on Tuesday...



[RRPiccolo]

Lovely arrangement. You are such a wonderful player. I would be happy if I could play even half as good as you.... Thanks so much for posting your wonderful work.

[cremno]

I'm sorry for posting on your videos on 2 different ones, within 10 minutes of eachother, but I just have to tell you, this is absolutely great..!

[sabuhira]

thank you

fine song

[tomatito198]

porque no subes un video del preludio de Moreno Torroba en Mi mayor

[tomatito198]

muy buena interpretacion

[Ulfrinn]

tak sa mycket! I hope things r goin fine for you (you look kind of sad in your face in this film) and you deserve all the best from your life for such wonderful performance.

[hyfann6q]

how old are you

[Shakinbacon151]

Hello, I have to play a piece by J.S. Bach in my yr 10 music class for an assessment.... I would really love to play this for it, and I feel I could get high marks if I did... So what I'm asking is could you send me the tabs for this... I would really appreciate it :)

[Le0Fender]

I keep on watching you, Mr.Kindgren, but still can't figure out how you play so perfectly.

[dzaijn]

I love this guitar as much as I love your arrangement. Most beautiful tone. Thank you!

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks. i am very happy for this guitar too.

Have a great day.

Per-Olov

[VietnamAirForce]

You did a very good job. And it's a song that I like a lot. Jesus is Joy of man's desiring. Can you continue better and better. Your guitar has great worked too.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you!!

Per-Olov

[aaronbrakefield]

as soon as i finally make some money, i am buying your tab for this. god bless standard tuning!!! beautiful as always..

[ecomtechnet]

I like all your pieces, all beautiful, it inspires me a lot to play more and more. Thank you

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks. I am honored to be able to inspire you. Keep playing.

Per-Olov

[Vreci]

Wow, how can a northern guy play such beautiful music? And even arrange !

You know me, - I hope!!!!

Now the facts: I am fascinated, and I like your playing so much; I like your guitar (why the older one ?); I like your video-recording and I like you !!!

Interesting: no choral, but I think it is not necessary. For guitar solo it will get no ideal sound.

best regards from your much more(!!!!) younger southern friend,

Wolfgang

[AndanteLargo]

Hallo meine freunde! Wie gehts?

I know you!

I still play my 'old' guitar from time to time. I don't feel so old then...:-)

Hugs to you and Karin. I guess you are finished with the theater now?

Per-Olov

[screechweasel]

You are consistently the best guitar player I have seen on Youtube. Thanks for all the great music, especially this piece.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you my friend. Appreciated.

Per-Olov

Or should I say: thanks mate!

Per-Olov

[Hiroshima49]

Liked the arrangement not requiring tuning adjustment...

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks! THAT is exactly my idea! Simple and easy... well, rather easy..LOL

Per-Olov

[katayatojiro]

音色がやさしいです

素晴らしい！！

[nickbaldeagle01]

I suggested this as a piece for you to play over 2 years ago. I like to think it was my suggestion that made you play this.

[AndanteLargo]

Hi Nick. I remember that! I thought; now he is going to be happy...

Per-Olov

[SabMei1]

Dear Per-Olov,

this is one of my favourite Bach motets. I have been singing it for 4 times in my choir and still can´t get enough of it. Maybe I should give it a try on my guitar...

Thanks for the idea.

Hugs - Sabine-)

[AndanteLargo]

Dear Sabine,

It must be wonderful to sing this in a choir! THAT I envy you.

All the best to you, my dear.

Per-Olov

[GreenAshR47]

nice job, very musical

[Nicolasdbz1]

That was epic my king! Bach is awesome and he did wonderful songs all of them so hard to play...

Your performance as always go beyond all... I just loved it.

Hugs dear.

Great!

[babydolphine]

This sounds so wonderful when you play it, it feels like an angel kissing my cheek....

Thank you for charing this with us,

Helena

[StringSymmetry]

Sometimes it almost seems like an angel possessed Bach and made him compose things like this.

[guitarfiend797]

haha almost ended it on a I6 chord and i almost disliked the vid just kidding it was very beautiful. i always look to you for inspiration peo. thank you

[heycolslaw]

I thought I detected some hesitancy, but no mistakes. Per, on your worst day you are light years ahead of us at our very best. Most of us would count it a great privelage to simply carry the guitar for you, or run to get your favorite bottled water. We bless you for blessing us. Sincerely,

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks! I don't have any neighbors. Nearest house is 300 meters... I hope they cannot hear me playing... Bach to Bach... hahahaa...

Per-Olov

[jnclassicalguitarist]

That was wonderful. Thanks.

MyLady!!?? WOW. I am so happy to hear from you. YAY!! #LOL

Merci beaucoup.

Per-Olov

[ovidiov]

Amazing, Peo: you never look to your left hand! it seems you were looking only to the sheet. Very nice arrangement, I loved it! I wish I could go to Stockholm to have a Master Class with you. grande abraço

[AndanteLargo]

Dear Ovidio. Thank YOU. I never really practiced this so I had to look at the sheets all the time...

I am actually planning a master class in my home here in Sweden (not Stockholm though). But I think I could learn a lot form you too, my friend. (Marie and I was in Stockholm 3 weeks ago. She loved the city!)

Grande abraco.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you Steve.

Appreciated.

Per-Olov

[ebealienhead]

Such a joy to hear you play. I'm envious of your talent for classical guitar.

Your Canon in D just floors me (fav'd a long time ago), this goes in my favs as well.

[AndanteLargo]

Hi. Please don't be envious. I have worked hard :-] And I am happy you like my Canon in D.

Thank you!

Per-olov

[azalova]

Verrrrry beautiful, thanks for this video! God blesses you!

[AndanteLargo]

Thank YOU for listening to me and Bach...

All the best,

Per-Olov

[Jazzguts]

Closed my eyes and listened with my heart & Soul, this is Music which has complete harmony in intellectual and emotional sense,I'm sure the greatest musical genius who lived on this planet. I don't understand how people can doubt the immense quality in this Music. All I can say is open your heart and let this come in, this is divine. In my next life I'll only play Bach and leave the Jazz and Blues alone.

[tadpole3535]

Another gorgeous piece. Thanks for posting, Peo! Bach is indeed one of the masters, his music will always have a timeless quality about it. Sublime!

I'm heading over to the website to purchase your arrangement.

[Jive51]

Bach playing Bach...

[Yuriy21]

Beautiful!

[urilycon]

Very heartfelt playing, thanks for posting

[hopeispower]

Thank you for your sensitive and gentle interpretation. I enjoy your musical spirit.

[circuitgenius]

Per,

I cannot thank you enough! I requested you play this years ago and as I suspected you have perhaps the sweetest version ever!

The melody of this tuning is something haunting and glad at the same time :)

Pure genius!

Thanks again!

[russellscottwalker]

Just beautiful.

[josealonsoleon]

Divine...;-)

[therarmann]

to be really honest; I'd rather listen to your compositions.

best regards from a 18 year old.

[Aarrmehearties]

Beautiful tone, is the slight reverb natural?

[Nattlefrosten]

Hey, don't remember if I've this before, but it was you and some of your pieces from a couple of years ago that got me away from focusing so much on "shredding" and really start learning classical. One of the best things to happen to me. Just felt Like I should tell you that, though it may mean little to you.

And good performance!

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there! No it means a lot to me! It is my 'mission' here: to open up the bag of beauty in music and classical guitar. If I could inspire you, I am very, very happy!

Please keep playing and listening.

Per-Olov

[wantasnack]

This song remembers me of pokemon stadium for nintendo 64, because in the trophy room you can listen to that song.. I think...

[AndanteLargo]

:-)

Great to know.

Per-Olov

[januthin]

Well done, Per! You always bring an airy-ness to Bach when you play. Also, great sound quality.  Thank you!

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks a lot Chad! I hope you will keep listening to me.

Per-Olov

@AndanteLargo - I defintiely will...I have listened to almost all of your vids and will continue. Your music soothes my soul and makes me smile. Keep at it!

[CNlyrical]

Hi Per-Olov, i just started playing this piece of Bach

arranged by someone else

and enjoy listening to your inspiring playing!

I'm still not sure if i like Bach,

but playing this one really provides joy.

I wish you a good time! ~ Crystal

[AndanteLargo]

Dear Crystal,

I hope this can convince you Bach has a great beauty too. (He can be strange and 'heavy' too, I know).

Happy playing.

Per-Olov

[Yrksman]

Absolutely beautiful, thank you for uploading this. Have you recorded it for CD? It's my all time favourite classical piece which I had not, until now, heard on guitar. Chris

[serindipity10]

Per-Olov, this is a truly masterful rendition of one of my all-time favourite pieces of Bach. I learned this many years ago on piano but have never dared try it on six strings. Maybe now though ... Thanks for posting this - and for your inspiration. Kira's partner Colin

[OuelletteGTR]

Per-Olov, your rendition of this classic is so clear and beautifully played, I can tell you connect well with Bach. I enjoy Bach a great deal, and should post some videos of his music in the future, great playing once again. Scott
