G. F. Handel: Aria from "Rinaldo" on classical guitar

[knutaage1807]

A beautiful piece, and beautifully played as usual. Thank you for all your inspiration . I just bought your arrangement of this aria, and will try to play it my self.

Knut, norway

[AndanteLargo]

Hello Knut,

Thank you. I am happy you like my version and playing. And for getting the arrangement! I hope you will have fun playing it!

All the best,

Per-Olov

[spiko252]

The tonality of that instrument is breathtaking. It's like slipping into a warm breeze.

[Drasoad]

I'd like to have the notes or tabs or whatever to play it, I'm willing to if you could provide me, or pay you by Paypal payment method possible, but I have really really looking forward to play this piece so beautiful on my guitar.

[dpshtintolrnt1]

Man that neck looks thick!,I could take that thing surfing.

[TeamJisbonFTW]

HÄNDEL ! not handel btw

[azmalhas]

Magnificent performance.

[1828459045]

Nice addition to the guitar repertoire! I am not sure if I am going to play it, but I purchased a copy just to support this kind of work.

[kjfahey4]

This made me cry.  XOXO Thank you!

[pistachio66]

I have a question, do you know the key of "Help" by the Beatles??

Would it be the key of D??

Thank you :D

By the way, you're an awesome guitar player

[Melissa11rocks]

you play so great, excellent, wish i could play like you:) awesome!!

[mikhailchetvertnikh1]

EVERY STRINGS HAVE A NICE VOICES YOU GREAT MAN THANK YOU VERY TOUCH ME

[EricGodfree]

I love Handel, and how you play it

[llanbradach]

I have just finished learning this myself, I love playing it but I wish I could make my guitar sound like your Peo, beautiful as ever, how are you these days.

[AndanteLargo]

Russell! You're alive! YAY! I am so happy! (to quote Mr. Fawlty) What arrangement are you using?

I am well, thank you. Just finished my 3rd CD and soon leaving for Miami for the next 2 months. :-) Lucky me, eh?

How's things your end? I hope you are still playing and soon will post a video. I am always looking forward to those.

Love,

Peo

[marco29a]

That's excellent! You play very well, dude!

[merlechmoose]

Simply amazing. Thank you for sharing it with us and thank you for promoting an, in my opinion, very underrated intrument when it comes to classical music.

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there. Thank you. I do my best to play pieces that can 'tempt' others to try too...

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[jvdover]

Thank you Per-Olov that was beautifully played as usual. You keep this 65 year old classical guitar player inspired and cause me to practice just a bit longer.

John

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you John! It is always nice to know I can inspire both young and old! :-) In my vocabulary you are in the first category.

Keep playing and also listen to me.

Per-Olov

[gasparcs]

Wonderful music, wonderful interpretation. I will share it, if you don't mind. Thanks, Peo.

[SugoGosu]

Whenever I watch your videos, I constantly wish I could learn from you. Your music is a constant inspiration to continue learning. I'm a minor in classical guitar performance and your videos keep me going and striving for greatness.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you for listening to me. It is great to know I can inspire you to play more and try to be better all the time.

Keep playing!! It's the best, after love.

Per-Olov

Muchas gracias! Saludos desde Suecia.

Per-Olov

[nannygoatj]

Per-Olov, you are a YouTube treasure. I am so grateful to have stumbled upon your videos some months ago. It is a delight to listen to you play. Thank you for such a blessing.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you my friend. I am so happy to know you are listening to me.

All the best,

Per-Olov

[Sojourn6]

Dear Maestro,

Thank you, once again, for bringing the 'luster' to music that catches one's breath, and all the while provoking emotion.

Your music/ transcriptions are on my programe for fall, and I will be posting the recital on YT in it's entirety. Thank you again for helping me rediscover the beauty of the guitar. If you would like a copy of the program please send your email.

Rod

[AndanteLargo]

Hi Rod. (sorry for the late reply).

I am so happy to know you are playing my pieces/arrangements. Please, please post your recital here for us to see! And please let me know!

Per-Olov

[steve51704000]

Your music always takes my heart on a journey, and brings me back home. Thank you!

[cashman156]

Loved that !

[Jelubaful]

Per-Olov vi har aldrig hört din röst, jag undrar hur den låter. Men vad mer kan begära än att dina känslor yttrar sig genom ett instrument?

Istället för vackra ord så finns det ingen bättre än dig på att spela vackra ackord. :)

[AndanteLargo]

Hej. Tack! Om du ser min första video på min Channel. (på höger sida, överst) Pratar jeg om min nya CD 'Distant Love". Om du söker på 'kindgren Silent Night' Där pratar jeg också... :-)

Men jag föredrar att 'prata' genom min gitarr!

MVH,

Per-Olov

[bratsheMag]

Very beautiful!!

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there! Thanks a lot! I appreciated that!

Have a great day.

Per-Olov

[joy1ess]

i was wondering when you'd finally upload this piece!! i LOVE this aria, it sounds way more beautiful on guitar than with vocals.

[AndanteLargo]

:-) Thanks a lot! I appreciate that but I also love the original. (when sung by a really good voice!)

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[murphy150]

one of my favorite arias from GFH. Lovely!

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you.

Per-Olov

[Landigio]

Hvilken amp bruker du foresten?

[Landigio]

Hei PerO. Jeg vil bare takke deg for at du deler ditt fantastiske talent med oss her på youtube. En dag kommer jeg til å bli en meget god klassik gitarist og da skal vi spille en duet. Jeg gleder meg allerede.

Ha en fortsatt god helg.

- Andreas

[AndanteLargo]

Hei Andreas. Takk.

Det ser jeg frem emot!

Jeg bruger ingen amp...? Dette er lige ind i mikrofonen. Klassiske guitarister bruker ikke forstærkning.

Per-Olov

[Landigio]

@AndanteLargo Så du har bare en mikrofon foran gitaren ?

[AndanteLargo]

Ja. Lige ved siden af kameraet.

[Landigio]

@AndanteLargo ahh. Takk ska du ha. Jeg har spart opp til en amp som jeg tenkte å kjøpe neste uke, men jeg tror jeg skal invistere i en mikrofon nå og en høytaler. Takk :)

[AndanteLargo]

Andreas, jeg bruker ikke nogen høytaler heller... inspiller direkte i kameraet.Bare til din information. Høytaleren er nok bare hvis du skal spille live utendørs.

Per-Olov

[Landigio]

@AndanteLargo Så du bruker en ledning fra gitaren til kameraet?

[AndanteLargo]

Hei. Ledning? Vad menar du? Jag har ingen strøm till min gitar!! Ingen forstærker!! Ingen mikrofon på gitarren! Kameraet optaker lyden fra min akkustiske gitar. That's it!

Per-Olov

[Landigio]

@AndanteLargo Ahh-h. Jeg skjønner. Da må jeg si at du har en veldig vakker lyd fra din gitar. Har aldri hørt en så vakker og rund lyd kommet fra gitaren min. Takk for denne diskusjonen :) Ha ein fortsatt fi helg.

- Andreas

[bailey32121]

sounds like a michael jackson song

[AndanteLargo]

WHAT?

[bailey32121]

@AndanteLargo listen to heal the world by michael jackson, it sounds just like it but a little bit slow :) by the way this is amazing piece

[GerardDrozd]

Very beautiful transcription and rendition.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you Gerard!

all the best.

Per-Olov

[guitarfiend797]

-mike

[fredjmp]

Beautiful piece! Great performance. I put in my fav.

[komnairima]

sir, this is such a beautiful piece. I will download and practice. I enjoy your world.

[KlodeB92]

Excellent ! I love that piece too and didn't think such a convincing arrangement could be made . Bravo !

[MrArdelco1970]

muy bello, es una gran contemplación ! :)

[rbuckert]

Beautiful arrangement of this piece :)

The two camera's don't disturb me btw, I think it's nice to switch once in a while between shots.

Like you said; it's about the music.

Well all the best to you and please keep composing and arranging pieces like this.

Robert

[Roselyne18]

Bonjour cher Per-Olov, my sincere congratulations for the way you play with great sensitivity, this beautiful Aria:)

À bientôt, bises amicales, Rosy

[alpineglacier]

Just beautiful.

[zweistein3]

It`s not a trick; it`s Per-Olov.....

You make a very, very good interpretation... and I hear it like yakushii, every note is played perfect, the sound is balanced like.... no words for this....

When start your summercourse for old Guitar-players?

Greetings

Bruno

[flyinpianoman]

Very nice, Per-Olov :) I really enjoy listening to your music. Reminds me that I need to practice playing! Great job as always.

[anmoose]

I love this piece, and your arrangement, coupled with the sassy resonance of the Hallgren, give it a fresh life. Beautifully done, Sir. And as if that's not enough, at 720p on this 23" monitor, video, audio, and your subtle edits, are all superb. The transparent overlays are a brilliant touch.

M o o s i e

[ImOfTheWoods]

Oh, I love this song! It's a very beautiful arrangement & performance. 8o)

[tamada73]

Ciao Peo,what a coincidence, I recently studied the air in the transcription of Mario Gangi,in the key of C major,Instead you have chosen A major.

Congratulations for the beautiful arrangement and refined interpretation,another pearl in your music collection!!!

Massimo

[Mancio68]

un pezzo bellissimo Peo!!! complimenti sinceri.

[TheSwatmachine]

Exquisite my friend. I always look forward to your videos. They are indeed a blessing and a refreshing "brook in the way" at the end of some very challenging days. You have an amazing God-given gift to play.

[jaygross803]

Beautifully played, as always. -J:

[WedgieEvans]

i sat here for about 10 minutes trying to think of a way to describe this song. its beyond what words can describe.

[AndanteLargo]

:-) WOW! Thanks a lot! I am really happy to know you liked it1 Thank you.

Per-Olov

[haimcito]

after listening to this lovely interpretation silence is required...

[AndanteLargo]

Schhyyy.... :-) Whispering: Thank you....

[nonexponential]

This is one of the very few pieces by Handel that I really like. Per, you make it sound better than what Handel could have intended! Thank you, - Athan

[AndanteLargo]

Dear Athan,

Thanks a lot. Handel is always in the shadows of Bach but I know many beautiful pieces by him. Have a listen around...

Take care,

Per-Olov

[mielification]

absolutely beautiful. thank you!!!

[icespeckledhen]

I think all the words to describe your beautiful playing and interpretation have been said by me and others. So I will just say thanks, I love to hear you play

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you my friend.

I cannot be tired of hearing nice words... :-9

Per-Olov

[peteralekka]

You have perfectly converted that nice Aria by Handel into a very nice guitar piece. I enjoyed listening to your beautiful performance, Maestro! Thank you!

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks a lot! I try to make my arrangements to sound as if they were composed for the instrument. Glad you liked it.

Per-Olov

[darkangel8989]

simply perfection

[AndanteLargo]

Simply... thanks.

Per-Olov

[aa6757]

Fantastic.

I love your arrangement. Thanks for sharing.

[fendermac]

Always good to see and hear you play...and always interesting to hear different rooms.This is back to the almost Presti and Lagoya ambience of your older recordings on youtube.Lovely...

[josealonsoleon]

Biutiful....just like the movie, it makes you want to cry!

But the shirt saved me from drowning....;-)

Notwithstanding, I think this this is one of your best pieces Master!

[AndanteLargo]

:-) Thanks a lot. I am glad you were not drowning.

Per-Olov

[nemtall]

beautiful .

[botchedup76]

Lovely as always..thanks for sharing..

[wendys120]

You must really love that shirt! ;-) Thanks for the pretty song!

[nylonguitar]

This is such a beautiful selection for guitar Per-Olov. As always, you play with your gifted touch and feeling. Sounds like the Per Hallgren was made for it. Of course, I believe it's all in the hands :) Thank you for blessing us with your talent...Steve

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks a lot Steve.

I think it gets better and better all the time. I will try d'Addario strings next time.

antichrist made me scared of this song.....

[torisand]

This song has been with me all my life. My father sang and sometimes played it on his violin as a cradle song and it was often heard (not only in our house, but in the wide neighbourhood) when his brother, Gunnar, the operasinger, was on visit.

Your majestetic playing is touching! Thank you my friend!

Vennlig hilsen

Tor Inge

[AndanteLargo]

Thank YOU Tor Inge. So your whole family are/were musicians? That's why Anne Mari and you are so talented!!

I have no one in my family to share my passion with... bummer! :-)

Takk!

Thank-you. One of my favorite Handel pieces. I just closed my eyes and meditated very nice. Once again great camera work. You were already a great guitarist but now you have become a great video artist as well. 

[AndanteLargo]

I gotcha! You cannot close your eyes and see my video editing at the same time! HA! #LOL

I'm kidding. I appreciate your kind words.

[kbaronshaffer]

very beautiful piece, arrangement, and performance! thumbs up! i don't recall ever hearing this piece before, and i really enjoyed this. thank you for posting! (by the way, in my opinion, i like it when you isolate the right hand better when you use two cameras...just my opinion. your videos are all wonderful and professionally presented).

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks for the input Keith. I agree regarding the camera angel. I'll do that next time.

Hugs,

Per-Olov

[therookie93]

Although there are many faster and more technically demanding pieces out there, none speak to my heart any better than your pieces. Bravo!

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there. Thanks a lot. I appreciate that. I am not a "show-off" musician. I prefer to move the audience.

Per-Olov

[Asphodellus]

ohh!!! i love this arrengment!!!

I would like a cd of you playing these pieces (bach, handel, dowland,...), I will wait your next album!!

[AndanteLargo]

Hi. Thanks. I am actually recording a CD with all those pieces! I hope it will be ready this summer/early autumn.

All the best,

Per-Olov

Per-Olov

[hsbyl]

@AndanteLargo AHAHAHA no no ! i'm just saying the shirt is nice! i really like it :P

Very, very nice! Another Handel aria that I would like to see you arrange is "Ombra mai fu".

Thanks!

[MrTriApo]

Thank you Per-Olov !!! It's been a while that I'm listening to your interpretations, but this one is just marvellous I have to tell you. Without you I think I would have stopped studying classical guitar after 15 years of practice. Your compositions and arrangements are everytime amazing. You are an inspiration. I played 3 pieces of your repertoire at my exams. Continue like this, you are at the top of your art.

[AndanteLargo]

HEY!! NEVER stop playing! You will regret it. I am happy to know I could inspire you to continue. Thanks for telling me.

Now, back to the guitar!! :-)

Per-Olov

[kaputasri]

I like your house. The setting of the house makes the video more pleasing and it adds to the music as well. Great playing as usual all the best.

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks! I am very privileged to live in a beautiful house.

Per-Olov

[Yakushii]

How is it that every interpretation you do of a song, has every note played pretty much to perfection?

:-) Thank you. I guess it's my musical background and upbringing...

I appreciate your kind words.
