  • The sound of this guitar is absolutely amazing.

  • Absolutely gorgeous. Your wam tone is so beautiful and makes a listener want to hear you. Bravo!

  • so simple, so beautiful I want to cry. Thanks.

  • Hi. Greetings from Easter Island, i love this song and your interpretation of it... i bought your arrangement of Here There and Everywhere and i just don't get tired of playing it...have you think about making arrangements from some movie's sountracks like vois sur ton chemin from The chorus or the Braveheart's main theme? I mention those because i think is quite your style....thanks...(and sorry about my english)

  • Superb version. Really liked your interpretation, and your technique is just perfect.

  • I had herd your version here before, and now I am actually learning the piece with the help of my teacher. I am studying closely because it is a rather difficult piece. Which version are you playing here? Is it your own version, or a specific existing arrangement for guitar? (Mind the differences I find here are very very subtle, but still apparent enough to let me ask this question.)

  • Hi. I am happy you are learning this too. I am playing my own arrangement that you can find on my web site at

    per-olovkindgren. com

    I mad small changes but tried to stay close to BAch's own violin composition.

    Kindly,

    Per-Olov

  • very well played, and a beautiful sound you have for this music. i am going to learn this piece now, looking forward to the point when i can play it through and work on the expression

  • Thanks. And good luck!

    per-Olov

  • I love this piece and recording!

  • Thanks a lot! Appreciated.

    Kindly,

    Per-Olov

  • great!

  • Your video description is very much appreciated. What a great technique you have.

  • I am 51yo and learned this song by ear off a record player one groove at a time in high school. You inspired me to try it again. If I can play it, I will post it to my site. It will not be correct, of course. I love your guitar work!

  • You haven't recorded the double that goes with this piece?

    = (

  • I think Simon Dinnigan needs to perfect his technique!

    Wonderful, Sir!

  • You are welcome!!

    You deserve all the praise you get.

    I am making listening to this piece and 'Air' part of my daily ritual in the office before I start work. Listening to them makes me feel so calm and relaxed and sets me up for the day.

    You are a gift from heaven!!

  • Absolutely beautiful!

    I haven't heard this piece for over 50 years as I did not know what it was called when I first heard it.

    To hear played now so exquisitively on a single guitar is a blessing.

    You are truly amazing! Thank you.

  • Hi there. Thank you for all your kind comments. I am honored you listen to me anf my guitar. Please keep doing that. I am happy you 'found' this piece again.

    Kind regards,

    Per-Olov

  • Bravo !

  • i once believed electric guitar far surpassed acoustic guitar.

    you proved me wrong.

  • This guy is really amazing and acoustic guitar has an astonishing sound but electric does far surpass it in variety of sound. It's just that it's a comparatively young instrument and there hasn't been a defining composer for electric guitar of really powerful music.

  • YOU ARE MY IDOL :)

    FIVE STAR FOR EVERY VIDEO,

    GREAT GREAT JOB,

    AMAZING playing

    so clear so perfect.

  • magnífico! [2]

    we couldn't say anything else.

    we couldn't start to smile when we hear you playing, Mr. Kindgren.

    Greetings from Bruno and Natascha

  • what a sound...it's wonderful. Very great playing

    Thank you very much

  • per-olov, Do you use hard or normal tension strings??

    Sounds Awesome!

    Thanks :)

  • Long time no hear you

    Simply Lovely !!!

  • Amazing!☆

    It sounds sooooo romantic!♪♪♪~~~

    Thank YOU! ^^

  • sir,

    you are a master at guitar playing! =D

    Thank You For Classical Guitar!!!!!!!

  • You are the best. When are you coming to San Francisco to play for us? Soon, I hope!

  • How annoyingly good i got tears in my eyes when i ehrd this song again

  • same as i am...

  • magnifico!

  • N i c e verrry much :))

  • the classical guitar is a great way for young people - or ANY people to learn 'understand' classical music. the 'confusion' of contrapuntal music of Bach's time can be to 'today's ear hard to fathom. the guitar with, ironically, it's limitations somehow cuts to the 'heart' of the music, making it accessible.

    Bravo! Bach himself is listening - and smiling :0

  • Hi there. Thanks for your comment. I agree totally with you.

    Kind regards,

    Per-Olov

  • WOAH

    amazing

  • Hi! Thanks a lot!

    Kindly,

    Per-Olov

  • My friend I have to say you are an inspiration, your tone is great!

  • Iv´e played this myself..

    But Peo is the king as always...

    What about the Double from BWV 1002?

    I would love to hear Peo play it!!

    He´s the right one actually:)

  • This moved me. Beautiful.

  • Thank you. Appreciated.

    Per-Olov

  • heyy man great work that is a master piece!!

    do you know where i could get a guitar tab? or could u get 1 for me?

  • Hello! Thanks a lot! I will soon put it on my web shop at per-olovkindgren(com) I hope you will find it there and purchase it.

    Kindly,

    Per-Olov

  • bravo! sarabande is by far my favorite classical piece. i have been searching for acurate tablature for days, yet i cant find any.

    could you possibly send me an acurate transcription of sarabande?

    sincerely: an avid listener

  • Hi ther. Thank you. I will soon put it on my web shop at per-olovkindgren(com) I hope you will find it there and purchase it.

    Kindly,

    Per-Olov

  • Hi! I am no guitarist, I am a percussionist, but I am going to start learning some works of Bach, and this one has become very appealing thanks to you.

    Thank you for posting!

    Well done!

    -Flan

  • Hi Flan,

    Thank you for listening to me. I have been traveling so I am sorry for the late reply. It's good to know a percissionist is listening!

    Kindly,

    Per-Olov

  • I wish I could handle a Guitar 10% of it...thanks for uploading...

    Per-Olov

  • Thank you. That is good to know.

    Kindly,

    Per-Olov

  • You hurt the people's hearts playing like that...

  • :-) sorry...

    (thanks)

    Per-Olov

  • What must have been going through J. S. Bach's head when he brought this beautiful piece into existance. It will always be a beautiful song and I'm glad you played it amazingly. I consider your playing of his music respectful in the way that you capture the passion brilliantly. Great Job Bro.

  • Hi there. Thannk you very much. I wonder how Bach made ALL his beautiful music! :-) I am happy you can hear my great respect for Bach! I just love that guy! :-)

    Kindly,

    Per-Olov

  • Jag bara kan inte sluta lyssna på din musik. För den är beroende framkallande! Håller med om det som sägs nedan. Din musik är ännu ett till bevis på Guds existens. Tack för att du delar med dig av det vackra! MVH/ Mona

  • Hej Mona,

    Tack ska du ha. Men jag tror att det är Bach's music som är beviset på Guds existens!

    Tack för att du lyssnar på mig. Fortsätt gärna med det.

    Per-Olov

  • Wow, another breath taking flawless performance.

    Just awesome.

    Thank you.

  • Thank YOU! I am honored.

    Per-Olov

  • This is one of the most beautiful performances on a classical guitar i have ever heard. If only bach lived to hear this...

  • LOL. Thanks a lot. Oh, how I wish BAch was a live too. When in Heaven, I will say hello to him and give him a long, hard hug! :-)

    Kindly,

    Per-Olov

  • Beautiful understated performance without the distraction of emotional affectation.

    How many hours a day do you practise?

  • Thanks a lot! It's very different I play all the time but that is part of being a classical guitar teacher... But I "practise" 2-3 hours every day.

    Kindly,

    Per-Olov

  • .....and the evolution theory says we evolved from apes. Here's proof to the contrary. We are created by God in His likeness for his good pleasure. The beauty of this song is like worship. Very, very well done!

  • LOL... thanks for not thinking I come from the apes... :-)

    Kidding! I am very honored by your kind words.

    Kindly,

    Per-Olov

  • Tack,för denna Per.Detta är en av de stycken som jag själv (tycker jag) kan ordentligt(om övad och koncentrerad)

    Du tillför en nästan andlig dimension som skiljer sig från Segovias hårda och karga(den är dock bra på sitt sätt)

  • Incredible as always.

  • seriously, sir, this interpretation is genius. have you visited the states yet? if you ever hit chicago, please drop me a comment.

    fantastic! nearly brought me to tears.

  • Thank you very much. I am honored. Yes, I have been to the States. And I am going to Miami next month. My girlfriend was in Chicago last week! She loves the city! I want to visit too some day.

    Yours,

    Per-Olov

  • good interpretation

  • Thanks a lot!!

    Appreciated!

    Per-Olov

  • Per

    I have to tell you brother; you are as good a guitar player as I have ever heard. I really thank you for all this great music.

    I'd love to see you play sometime and shake your hand.

    What a gift you have!

    D

  • Thank you! Appreciated! I hope to be able to play for you in person some day!

    Thank you for listening!

    Kind regards,

    Per-Olov

  • cool, what kind of guitar is that? i need to buy a good one soon, cause classicals are cheap on the market currently

  • Thanks. I play a Philippe Jean-Mairet from Switzerland. It's hand made. Bu there are, as you say, many very good guitars for a low price. Good luck!

    Per-Olov

  • U made me get tears in my eyes hearing this...

    How beautiful it sounds...

    :(

  • Thank you! I have been on a tour in France. That's why I haven't replyed until now.

    Sorry.

    Kindly,

    Per-Olov

  • Tour in France ?...Per, c'mon man when is your tour of Australia...I can't keep these beers cold much longer

  • Darn! And I just missed the flight... just drop the beercans in the pool, that'll do the trick! :-)

    See you. when my tour is in Australia...

    Kindly,

    Per-Olov

  • the chord progression from 1:40-1:45 is the best part of this piece. Great feel! Love this sarabande.

  • Beautiful tone & and stately tempo just as a sarabande should be. 5/5, Bravo !!

  • Hi Peo,

    i jus love your playing & of course your sound.

    Looking forward to more bach from you.

  • Hi there!

    Thanks a lot! Have you heard my other Bach recordings?

    I will post more later for sure!

    Per-Olov

  • Great classic piece. Good Job!

    Regards,

    Himanshu

  • Hej Per,har just varit inne på ed.glob.och fuskat lite,d.v.s skrivit ut lite demo:s därför skoj att se bl.a krom.stigande slutet på preludiet.Har ju varken visa-kort eller master-card ekonomi för tillfället.Bläddrade igenom din katalog,och hittade även "morning has broken" "streets of London" m.fl.Visste dock inte att du skrivit så mycket egen musik i olika stilar.

    Hälsn.Jörgen

  • Hej Per,har just varit inne på edit.utan att lyckas hitta nåt på ditt namn,ska försöka senare när mer tid finns.Hur som helst,tack för det underbara svaret.Utmaningar är trevliga ibland,men ibland blir jag bara så trött av ansträngning..Plockar då fram gamla inspeningar med Cat Stevens,John Prine etc,och bara spelar med eller bara lyssnar

  • Un trasporto e un cantato favoloso!Grazie Maestro.

  • Grazie mille!

    Salute!

    Per-Olov

  • Hej! Hur var det man kunde få tag i dina noter?

    Är särskilt intresserad av "Air" och "Preludiet" från första Cello-sviten.Finns förresten högerhandsställning utskriven?(pima)

    Hälsn.Jörgen.

  • Hej! Om du går till editionglobalmusic(com) och söker på kindgren så hittar du dom där. Ang. pima, tycker jeg det är mycket personligt och kommer bara med förslag när det är vigtigt...

    Hoppas du kommer at spela mina arr.

    MVH,

    Peo

  • Beautiful and astounding!

  • Thank you!

    Kind regards,

    Per-Olov

  • Hej Per!Fick tag i en bok nyligen med "Allemandenoter",där även p i m a är noga ut(före)skrivet,blev deprimerad inför tanken att öva om nästan alltihop,då jag mest kör på känsla här,känns som om jag blir en maskin.Hälsn.Jörgen

  • Hej Per.För närvarande bor jag i Holmsund utanför Umeå.Är dessvärre arbetslös och sjukskriven,målar en hel del,och har lärt känna ett par konstnärer här,försöker också hålla humöret uppe med att öva så gott jag kan.Men p.g.a brist på lärare finns alltid en osäkerhet,just nu t.ex ang.högerhanden,hur stor frihet man har där,själv kör jag,förutom det mest grundläggande,på ren känsla och varierar kanske inte som man borde.Hälsn.Jörgen

  • Fantastique!"!! Thanks a lot, Francisco from Chile

  • Such impeccable tone you have.

  • Thank you!

    Appreciated!

    Per-Olov

  • O.K. Låter skoj förresten,att du ska ge konserter.Här i Sverige? Vilken repertoar?

    Har varit underbart inspirerande denna sida,hur som helst.Allra mest att se s.k."professionella" spelare som du hellre ta "Amatörackord"(om sådana finns) än smycka ut och krångla till allting,utan istället satsa på mer känsla och kärlek till denna mystiska kraft vi kallar musik. Hälsn.Jörgen

  • Tack Jörgen. Jag flyttar nog till Helsingborg snart. Och därifrån vill jag försöka komma runt i Sverige och spela. Var bor du?

    Per

  • Hej Per!Fuga 1000 finns ju med på Söllscher´s inspelning,skriven för violin!!Frågas:kan man verkligen spela en fuga på fiol?Vaför skrivs vissa noter i ovannämnda,ackordmässigt inte helt rakt ovanpå varandra fast de klingar samtidigt(i mina öron) Hälsn.Jörgen.

  • Hej Jörgen. Du har så många frågor... Jag är ju inte ett vandrande uppslagsverk! :-) Varför frågar du inte en violinist om detta? Jag håller på att öva till konserter i sommar och ska flytta till Sverigs så jag måste be dig att inte förvänta svar på alla dina frågor. Wikipedia är mycket bättre än mig... LOL

    Hälsningar,

    Per-Olov

  • Hej Per! Har just fått tag på Söllscher´s "eleven string guitar".Har för mig att du beskrev denna barockgitarr.Vilken underbar "Air".Finns möjligtvis B.Sandkvists notarr. att få tag på?Annars får jag studera din video,den har ju "similaritet".Älskar tills vidare också Weiss "Pasacaille" och Couperin´s stycke.(nåt franskt!)

  • that is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO gorgeous!!!!!!!  very inspiring............thankyou for posting it!!!!!

    more please!

  • Hej igen,Per.Börjar känna mig rätt säker på denna "Sarabande" nu,och då är det ju alltid roligare att spela,roar mig lite med att t.ex ta h7 med sept i basen eller byta ut am7 mot dim7,vilket kallas det?d#7? det(vilket förmodligen är fel)Hur som helst,man ska inte jämföra men du bemöter denna(tycker jag) lika känsligt som jag tror Söllscher skulle göra den,vilket är fint.För mig har det blivit minst lika viktigt,om inte viktigare att lyssna,nu för tiden.Hälsn.Jörgen

  • Sarabande is such a terrific performance from you...I am preparing for my 5th grade and I have selected this piece for practice. I am really inspired by your playing...

    thanks for putting this in Youtube..

  • Thank you! Appreciated!

    Good luck with your exams!!

    Kindly,

    Per-Olov

  • Hej Per! Läste i en bok om Bach att han undervisade i bl.a kontrapunkt.Är det komplicerat? Hur pass nödvändigt är sådan kunskap? Min inskränker sig till en samtidig tonföljd i t.ex c-ackordet:baskvint:g-a-h.Disk­antters:e-d#-d.D.vs tonerna möts i g-ackordets basters och diskantkvint(detta är ju ett "enkelt ex.)Hälsn.Jörgen

  • Hej Jörgen. Kontrapunkt är inte "nödvändigt" för att kunna spela men det skadar inte att kunna litet om det...

    Hälsningar,

    Per

  • :*-)

  • O.K.Tror jag förstår.Tusen tack.Det är faktist rätt roligt när man går igenom gamla låtars noter och finner t.ex hur punkterad åttondel med sextondel fungerar och så att säga skapar musiken man är så van vid att höra,här krävs dock mycket övning om man en dag ska kunna lära sig ett stycke helt utan att ha hört det förut.Mvh. Jörgen

  • Tack för att du svarar,Per.Kort fråga bara,fasta förtecken innebär väl att t.ex alla f är f# i e-dur.ett tillfälligt höjningstecken betyder väl då att det blir ett g?

  • Nej. Ett tillfälligt förtecken betyder inte att det blir "dubbelhöjt"! F'et måste ha varit återställt tidigare i takten. I takt 39 i Preludiet har du ett dubbelkryss (låter som "g")...

  • Hej Per! Notläsningsförsöken blir mig en gåta ibland.Ex."Preludiet" i E-dur:minns ej vilken takt,men det står ett dubbelkorshöjt f(f# alltså)vilket gör ett g#, som binds ihop med ett vanligt g#.Hur spelas detta? låter som g-g# Ursäkta besväret,men notläsningen känns viktig.Hälsn.Jörgen

  • Hej Jorgen. Det låter som ett tryckfel. dubbelkryss för F låter fom et G men det kan inte bindas ihop med G#! Kanske det bara är en legato båge. (att du slår G# ned med V.H.)

    Per

  • Hej igen,Per.Segovia´s version är mer barré eller hur?,t.ex a&d-ackorden i första takten?,om jag inte misstar mig,har jag fel i att du plockar bort vissa toner t.ex tersen i f#?vilken klang du får dock,hur mycket beror detta på inspelningen,eko o.s.v?Anslaget är ju fint i alla fall. Tack för inspirationen hur som helst.

    Jörgen

  • Hej Per,håller just nu på att öva på denna!

    Försöker så gott det går att få fram den klang som jag tycker uttrycker den ödslighet,sorg och skönhet som jag uppfattar i detta stycke. Fint spelat i alla fall.

    Jörgen

  • Tack Jörgen,

    Lycka till med den!! :)

    Per-Olov

  • Maestro Kindgren, Beautiful sound !! :) Bravo!. Thank you so much for all your videos. :). Maestro,thank you again for your advice on contacting Per Hallgren.

    Please keep sharing your videos.I'm looking foward for more!!

    Ciao,

    Claudio

    P.S. Torisand has a wonderful video playing Bach's Bist Du bei Mir. Maestro ,would you ever consider this beautiful piece and do a video on you tube ?

  • Ciao, Claudio.

    I am happy if you can get a Hallgren guitar.

    I will listen to Torisand.

    Thanks,

    Per

  • for first, compliments.

    I play classig guitar and I must say , the sound is bright and clear and the execution is really felt and full of soul and feelings.

    A question , what do you use for record and pick up that sounds ( i mean wich mic and what else ) thanks

  • Thank you. I am glad you like it!

    I use an external mic with the camcorder (AKG C460b) as the one in the camera sucks... and I add some reverb to the sound in the videoediting software.

    Kindly,

    Per-Olov

  • Hi,

    Did you take this directly from the original score or is it an arrangement? Either way, it's beautifully played.

  • Hi. And thanks a lot! It's more or less Segovias arr. I have mande minor changes to it.

    Per-Olov
