January from the suite: "Twelve Months of the Year"

[musxlvr2]

Will you be making a CD with some of your suite works? That would be LOVELY.

[AndanteLargo]

Hi Amy,

I missed this one...

Thanks for asking but I don't think so. Not all months are in "recording quality"... :) Though I think January is one of the better....

Hugs,

Peo

[musxlvr2]

@AndanteLargo You have a very critical ear... or perhaps I am biased. But you have other suite work as well... Oh well... I think I am being greedy :) Can't ever have enough Per-Olov in my collection!

[prizinhalover]

you're a genius..

[kenhiebert]

Wonderful! I absolutely LOVE the sound you're able to coax from your guitar and your beautiful melodies. Great work!

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you my friend. I am happy you listen to me.

All the best,

Per-Olov

[fcs18484]

@AndanteLargo I'm waiting for a concert in Italy!! Please, Maestro, can you do a concert in Italy? Please!!!!

Best regards

Fabio

[AndanteLargo]

Ciao Fabio,

Mille grazie... but I don't have any plans for Italy. But I have been there many, many times and I love your country!

Per

[briankmovie]

Your tone is amazing! Do you use nails? If so, do you use a round shape or a ramped shape like Tennant? Thanks, Brian K.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you Brian,

I have different shapes on all my fingers... but never as ramped as Tennant.

Yet another very beautiful piece :) There are quite a few bits that reminded me of Elvis Costello's song "She".

[AndanteLargo]

Hi. Thanks. Oh!? I have to listen to She then.

A very good, nice sounding composition...although it's to "optimistic" for my personal taste...

[Mr5stevenr]

A lovely upload Per Olov. I think there are some very interesting and effective chords here. I particularly like the chords at 1.54 and 2.01. And the descending bass runs. Very effective. Steve.

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks Steve. I am glad you appreciate my chord progressions.

Kindly,

Per-Olov

Per-Olov

[carpeguitarra]

Ok, so you have January to December of 2011, what about 2012?

Thank you my friend for all the wonderful music.

See you.

Per-Olov

[rd2ed]

I love the sounds that your fingers can massage out of that Per-Hallgren guitar…..especially when the notes fall in a sequence as in this piece….beautiful. Thank you Per-Olov….

[AndanteLargo]

Hi Ed! Thank you! Actually I have a new Per Hallgren guitar now. This one is even better!! Amazing instrument. I will post videos with it soon.

Hi Peo,I enjoyed listening to this piece,January is approaching :-)

Massimo

P.S. :on my channel there's a piece dedicated to you!

[Vreci]

My dear northern friend!

How is it possible to compose so many beautiful pieces? I suppose that you have a lot of time. And your job demands only some hours a week. Happy happy Peo!! What a life!

best regards from the poor southern friend

[AndanteLargo]

Good morning my lazy friend! Thank you! I teach full time (54 solo students and an guitar ensemble)l in CPH, travel 3 hours every day to work, cook, clean a huge house, do the laundry, practice for concerts, answer nice comments on YT, compose, fly to Miami, England, Hannover, Paris and Lyon all the time. How can I do that? Well, I never sleep! Try it, my young, southern friend :-) I mean, you are ONLY teaching Math, playing Tennis, swimming in your pool and play guitar. HA!

See you soon!

Per

[Demusics]

excelente....

[sguitar]

Hey dear Peo,

This song feels like January, Per-Olov - just so cool and soothing like that quiet frozen lake coated with a light snow...Beautiful sound! I can't wait to listen to the entire suite! All the best! Babs

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you so much Babs!

Have a perfect day!

Per-Olov

[nonexponential]

Well, it is still September! Your music may make an actual Iowa January a lot warmer. Thanks, Per! - Athan

[schoolDenisE]

Wonderfull! What microphones are You using?

[rbuckert]

Again a beautiful composition of your suite :)

I recently bought September, such a wonderful piece. And so is this one.

I'm looking forward to hear the other months.

All the best,

Robert

[olegrin]

Gentle and romantic composition. Excellent performing. 

[ManuelPoka]

Magnifique, très beau son, très belle interprétation.Merci pour cet agréable moment tout en nuances.

[musxlvr2]

I think this may be my favorite of the suite. Of course I may be a bit biased, as my birthday is in January! Honestly though, I've always been partial to your repetitve formats. My mind and body seem to drink them in like a health formula. Very soothing melody on this. Nice... glad you have finished your suite.

[AndanteLargo]

Hi Amy,

Thank you for all your kind words. All my family has birthdays in January. After Christmas and all those celebrations, I am tired of people needing presents! :-)

Hugs,

Peo

[JesseGuitar07]

[proyecmat]

donde tiene colocado el micrófono?, se escucha la guitarra de manera portentosa.

[AndanteLargo]

The microphone is 3 meters away beside the camera.

[rowsellboy]

Very nice composition and beautiful playing! You are such an inspiring musician, thank you for sharing this with us.

[AndanteLargo]

Per-Olov

[Jazzguts]

Very fine playing and composition Per, guitar sounding very warm and intimate, great dynamics in this fine tune. see you haven't sit still all this time,but been composing quite a lot,nothing like an own composition played with feel and passion,abrazo Ermanno,Vic.

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks Vic! You are the Maestro of so many genres that i feel very honored by your words.

See you amigo

Per-Olov

[musicarlosart]

Thanks a lot!

All the best,

Per-Olov

[teddypantelas]

very beautiful, thanks so much for sharing. Peace.

[FusionMusic1000]

Very clean playing once again and a beautiful composition. The microphone has made a nice job of that and of course yourself - as the microphone doesn't play it all by itself.

[AndanteLargo]

:-) No, you are correct. The guitar and my practicing are probably the mail fsctor here...

Thank you.

Per-Olov

[nylonguitar]

Did you record this in January? I know you experience colder temperatures sooner in Sweden than many places. The reason I ask is that is sounds warm. Perhaps you had the heat turned up:). I like this one. thanks...Steve

[AndanteLargo]

Hi Steve,

No, I recorded it this morning. And no heating on in the house yet. Soon I guess.

See you.

Per-Olov

[TheGuitarSauce]

So beautiful, have no words to describe how wonderful your guitar playing is. But I have to ask, could you play "Tango" by Albeniz in one of your videos forward. Loved to hear you play that. :)

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you. I played Tango while studying. I might play it again. If I do, I will posy it here.

Thanks for listening.
