Tomaso Albinoni: Adagio

[xqz66]

you play beautifully

musician is the creator of the eternal values

I've always wanted to be a musician

If you are a musician you can show the beauty of his inner world to others

sorry for my English

[sthomareas]

I have recently started playing acoustic guitar via a band called Kings of Convenience and I never really knew how much they are inspired by brazilian classical acoustic musicians. I have to say you have inspired me to listen to much more acoustic guitar and especially dwell into classical. Hopefully one day once I am done a few pieces I am working on you may one day critique them! I hope to hear more from you! Thank you for your lovely pieces.

[LuMaltaL]

lindo demais, de dar aperto no coração.

[usaespspo]

Bellissimo!!!! Gracies

[agy04022761]

I just listened to all youtube-versions, yours is the only one with feeling & perfection. Just great.

Dankeschön & keep on rockin'

Andreas

[playsosoft]

Just beautiful, i would love to perform this transcription also the air on a g string but i got no money for buying it, that happens when you live in colombia. Bravo Maestro, your a great clasiccal guitar player.

[YadQurbany]

You've inspired me to play this in an upcoming concert. I'm using your transcription. Thank you.

You are inspiring.

[adriaticor]

Thank you. Just wonderful!

[turcoladen]

The best perfoming that I ever seen (and listen). You're a great guitarrist... You have THAT in your playing that only Von Karajan had in his version of this masterpiece.

[ProjectFreeSelf]

Mr. Kindgren, would it be possible to make a video on how to play this one? I love this number, and I'm new to classical guitar, and the fingerings look like they might be good for a beginner. So, I was hoping you might help. I'd be willing to offer a donation in an amount of your choosing. Thanks in advance, regardless, and keep up the great work! Regards. Greg.

[numbnutsszz]

too good to be true

[mcordova72]

Absolutely beatiful ! I am amazed ! I didn't think possible to get that kind of sound from a guitar. Sounds so clear, so perfect. The sound, the music, is completely inspiring. Thank you. I will try to get your CDs here in Chile.

[UnDuendeConHonor]

:') Just perfect!

[wtfdouno]

You are absolutely wonderful... I could listen to you all day long. i plan on buying your CDs. I found you many months ago and tonight when I wanted to hear someone play the guiar, I remembered you and hoped that I could find you.. I knew I had heard you play "Air on the G string" so I typed that in and BINGO! I knew instantly which one to pick. I have suscribed, so keep on playing your inspiring, relaxing music!!!

[Jack201]

very beautiful mäster Kindgren, may we see a new one following todays agenda and emotions?

[TheBarrettMusic]

Beautiful...I could go on. Now get the man a chair ;-)

[akriponspeed]

Hermoso.

[robertmbruno]

By chance I caught a video of the adagio on public television yesterday.One of the themes included a black and white photo that looked like a friend of mine in Italy.I did find that version to link to my friend but I was fortunate to find your version and enjoy your wonderful touch.The sensitive expression of your hands is extraordinary.The video I saw had a beautiful woman playing the guitar and theatrically reacting to the music with her facial expressions.Even her beauty couldn't compare.

[MrReinhardj]

Yes, Per-Oluv,

i agree with these glowing commentaries, really a beautiful rendering..

Did you ever record Couperin, The Barricades Misterieuses? I am practicing that

and would be inspired to hear you version.

Reinhard

[x3lilghostx3619]

Beautiful!!!

[VoyagesinMusic]

One of the most romantic and touching songs!

[karw8]

Loved it <3

[havanero1945]

Dear Maestro, estoy buscando una palabra que no encuentro para expresar los sentimientos tan bellos que produce al escucharle, muchas gracias

[shahin6912]

[epistemologi]

Per-Olov you are indeed one of the very best classical guitar players in world today, your tequnique and "feel" that set you apart from all the others, yes they have great tequnique, but they do not have the ability to actually make it sound current, as if it was created today. And you are such a great teacher as well wich really set you apart from everyone else :)hope we have you for many years to come

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there! Takk!

I am deeply honored and happy for your kind words. To me, music is about expressing feelings inside yourself. I am not good a showing off and sometimes wish I would do that more... :-)

I hope you will keep listening to me. By the way: this piece is on my next CD that will be available in late summer. I hope you will listen to me then too.

Kind regards,

Per-Olov

[GiannisNell1]

@AndanteLargo Plz try not to create and play music for making money but do it for the people ...personally i would buy your cd

[429lulu]

@epistemologi Oh my God! You killed me the way how you play the guitar! This is my favorite music since I was 10 years old, I am 51, congratulations from California & Mexico City!! You are the best!

[rarosera]

What an inspiring rendition!

[AndanteLargo]

Thank YOU1 Good to know I can inspire you!

All the best and please keep listening.

Per-Olov

[phb2787]

I love this piece, and you play it beautifully. I just found the sheet music for it and am going to work on learning it soon. I am about half way through Gaspar Sanz "Espanoleta" and must finish that first. I enjoy your music and watch your videos often. Is your arrangement for "Over the Rainbow" available on your site? Thanks for the wonderful music.

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there. Thank you for using my web shop.

I cannot sell, or give, my arr. of Over the Rainbow until I have the copyrights for it. Sorry.

Per-Olov

[phb2787]

@AndanteLargo

I thought that might be the case as I didn't see it in your web shop, but thanks for getting back to me. I look forward to the day that it is available.

[phb2787]

@AndanteLargo

Thanks for the response. I figured the copyright might be an issue, but hopefully one day you'll be able to release it. Take care.

[usaespspo]

I loved !!! Thank you so much

[AndanteLargo]

Thank YOU!

Hi Erick Yasiel Olivares Vargas,

Thank you. I am honored. I had a great day, thank you. :-)

I am sure you will play this better than I.

Per-Olov

[SemperAugustus86]

unfortunately Albinoni NEVER wrote this music...if you understand something about his music you will see its absolutely not like him and absolutely not baroque...

its by remo giazotto written in 1958!!!!

ma una bellissima versione di chitarra!!!

[zhyui]

Absolutely great!!!!

[VietnamAirForce]

I love this song! I remember when Baden Powell played his interpretation!

[BlackRozImmortal]

Thank you again for this moment. You're the one that inspires me for this piece. Your version is very harmonious, I like it very much. I'll take your sheet and I'll improve this piece! It makes me want to take guitar classes again! Thank you!

[Aleksandrinnna]

[hobbitg3]

beautiful played ;) awesome arrange... by the way i would put more vibrato lol

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks a lot. I will think about the vibrato next time.

Per-Olov

[shariotoflove]

@hobbitg3 doesn't need vibrato at all. this is a baroque piece.

[hobbitg3]

@shariotoflove i know... its just me lol

[gtarszzz]

nice! did u arrange this? the only good ones ive heard are for 7 string guitar

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks a lot! Appreciated.

Yes I arranged this. You can order it from my web site at

God that was beautiful, Per! You play with such precision, yet there is so much warmth in your sound. Mr. Albinoni would certainly approve of your interpretation of his wonderful composition. Thank you.

[joefarg]

I'm learning to play the guitar without a teacher and your excellent playing inspires me not to give up when I find it really difficult.. Thanks for your music :)

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you. I am happy if I can inspire you. Please try to find a good teacher... it makes everything easier and better. :-)

[ALBatrodei7mari]

Peo, splendido arrangiamento ed esecuzione dell'Adagio... Ottima chitarra...

(Peo, wonderful arrangement and performance of the Adagio... Very good guitar...)

[AndanteLargo]

Mille grazie! I am happy you like my version.

Per-Olov

[ALBatrodei7mari]

@AndanteLargo Thanks for your answer, partly in Italian ;o). Unfortunately that instrumental piece you play so well, despite what's written on the music sheet, hasn't been composed by Albinoni, as Gianzotto made people believe. And Gianzotto was a racist, which I don't like at all. What guitar do you play?

[eudigox]

Amazing, rich and warm sound coming from your guitar, beside the excellent technique, which guitar is it? Greetings from Italy

[tdc310]

Que precioso se oyo eso... so beautiful ... Brilliant Greetings

[sintetixoul]

Brilliant interpretation!

I hate people who don''t like this song, but they come here only to push dislikes.

[ievenska]

OH fan !!qui e'pieno di svedesi...hej da..vacker musik!!

[ALBatrodei7mari]

@ievenska Sei per caso una o uno svedese residente o che è stata o stato in Italia? Forte il Peo, eh...?

[tarik19501956]

grazie per le tue belle interpretazioni sonore.....buon2011 ad maiora

[evaveva042]

Vilket sammanträffande, Peo! En vän tipsade mig om Albinoni - jag söker på yuotube och du dyker upp! Stycket passar bra på gitarr, violinerna gör det nästan dystert ibland. Ett gott 2011 önskar jag dig! kram från Eva A, Sofiero

[AndanteLargo]

Hej Eva! Va kul! Tack för att du lyssnar på mig.

Rigtig god fortsättning på 2011.

Jag har varit 3 veckor i Miami så jag slapp (nästan) för all snö..

Hoppas du har det bra.

Peo

[kagelois]

So beatiful

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you!

Great tone! It is like you are one with the guitar. I will have to listen to some Bach and Vivaldi selections also. Again, great job and so smooth. You are very talented.

[1961kowalski]

Graj Per-Olov graj. Bez końca, graj.

Muy buena interpretación como todo lo de Per-Olov, pero esta completo?, o es un arreglo.

[makady]

realmente hermoso... me encanta escucharte, tu interpretación es bella, sublime, perfecta.. Yo también toco guitarra, toco dust in the wind, en arpegio sin problemas, me encantaría tocar esa canción que tocas.. como la tocas tú... Mil felicitaciones, Saludos desde Chile.

[IAmMediocreAtBest]

you are a role model, I am learning this and i will post it when it's completed.

Cheers from Saudi Arabia.

[jbaravel]

Maravillosa interpretación e impecable, nunca imaginé el Adagio en guitarra, si hasta parece heber sido compuesta para este instrumento, en sus manos suena fantástico, gracias por subirlo.

[Rogadoable]

@jbaravel, sin lugar a dudas es magistral.

[kainthornn]

I just learned this on guitar, I'm nowhere near this level of polish and shine but I've got a start. Thank you for inspiring me to pursue this!

[DictatorRoB]

Yes, truly beautiful and pure mastership, but this song needs crying sounds of violin to be heard in full beauty.

Still, as I wrote, very well done, it has magic of simplicity in it when it's played only on guitar.

[guitarsamueldebona]

muito bom!!! Otima interpretaçao

@AndanteLargo i heard thunder coming out of that hole in your guitar. lol.

beautiful as usual.

maybe you should plug that hole up.hehe...

peace, lardo.

[jbdoggy]

Lovely! 1 of my fave baroque pieces. Me and the University mates wld play this on cd whenever exams are near & when we are expecting to fail our papers!! Its such mournful music my mum wld say.

Seems that you managed to get the guitar to sustain the notes a little bit w/o using trills. How did you do it?? As far as i know the guitar cant really sustain notes compared to say a violin or a wind instrument.

[ArGyProductions]

@jbdoggy

LOLLL I feel your pain

[kainthornn]

I had to return and listen again.

[alexarroyo11]

Maestro la mejor vercion que he escuchado en todo el youtube me la estoy aprendiendo viendola x q no he podido conseguir la partitura en Am pero hay vamos Dios lo bendiga y le cultive ese hermos don ATTE.. alex arroyo desde colombia
