[6stringsatch]

very very nice...i wish i could find the sheet music for this song......thanks for sharing

[BachtotheFutureBWV]

Always great Per- Olov.

[sacrednaval]

Hi, You play so great dont have words to say ... I am learning classical guitar. Your video gives me inspiration to become Per-Olov

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you1 I am happy to know I can inspire you!

Please keep playing!

Per-Olov

[george42007]

@AndanteLargo

Not Only do you inspire us but awe...Your interpretation brings me to the brink of a glimpse of perfection and lands me back on my feet in the end, each time I hear it. Thank you for really letting us hear Bach!

(I just got the score and will attempt it as I do other music)

[MrArdelco1970]

es una excelente pieza musical

[xxxfarsixxx]

WOW

[MONICA2714]

que musica mas bonito

[tomophirwedge]

Hey,

I've been learning this recently from your transcription. It's fantastic and is a great introduction to Bach on the guitar, as it sounds solid, weighty and is within reach in terms of technique. Have you ever thought about transcribing the other parts of the piece? I would love to hear what the last movement sounded like on guitar!!!!

best wishes

Tom

[shaq565]

Incredible Version Of The J.S.B. Classic,... Thanks For Posting Sir Largo!

[lorenzoasun]

Nice expression. sober artistic. it touch deeply. Bravo. Hernán

[StringSymmetry]

I prefer your Bach interpretations above that of any classical guitarist I have heard. You are blessed with an insight Per.

[juanreloco]

Per Olov = God whit a guitar!

[J777K777]

Wow, absolutely amazing.

[guitarwizard6]

Nice, but let's hear the other three movements at something near a tempo played by keyboardists!

[jonborne]

I hear some palisander wood!? (:

[DoPerps]

I have such a passion to play classical guitar have a very fine hearing audio tuning, but I do not read music or know how to play many scales and synchronize it into reading it, I do enjoy all elements of classical and hope to some day enlighten everyone with the sweet music that I lay just like ya definitely an inspiration!

[whatsthatthing]

Du er min nye helt Per Olov.

You'r my new hero.

[n8surfer]

Dear Per Olov, once more you kindly offer to our ears some moments of sheer pleasure. You in fact are like my Portuguese Port wine, the older, the better. In terms of skill you reached the top already a long time ago, but the interpretation, the tempo, the occasional search of those warmer notes with your right hand...simply Grand my friend.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you my friend. It is an honor. And, yes, I am getting older all the time :-)

And better :-)))

Thanks for hearing the subtle shifts in my playing to express the music.

Kind regards,

Per-Olov

[LDVellasco]

Simple beautiful !!! I can see how you feel the music.. you are a realy great interpreter keep doing it . Congratulations from Brasil

[circuitgenius]

Boy you are getting more and more 'feeling' that was exquisite, worthy of El Maestro himself!

[teebban]

grande peo!!!!!! AWANTE PEO!

[teebban]

GRANDE PEO!! PEO PEOPEO !!

[chanclie]

The music, the set, the sunrise...everything is art in what you did.

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there,

Thank you! I am honored.

That is nice to hear!

Please keep listening to me.

Kind regards,

Per-Olov

Alle Lieder, die Sie play wunderbar sind!!! Vielen Dank!

[lespaulcustomplus]

: )

[AndanteLargo]

:) Thanks! Only today? :) Kidding.

Per-Olov

[lespaulcustomplus]

jajajajaja!

for ever man! for ever!

[adamwakeling]

@AndanteLargo Would love to hear Bach's Prelude in C major BWV 846 from you Per-Olov.

[whytsler]

Per, what guitar are you playing with? it looks pretty much as mine

[AndanteLargo]

Hi. There are only a few of this builder but if you live in EU you might have one. It is a Philippe Jean-Mairet from Switzerland. I ordered it in 1987. Please go to my web site per-olovkindgren(com) and see more info.

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[whytsler]

Thanks! beautiful guitar, very different to mine when you take a close look :P definitively a masterpiece;! Congratulations. Carpe Diem

[n8surfer]

Dear @whytsler, don't get me wrong, but you probably don't have the same guitar.This Jean Philippe Mairet should cost over 5.000€. I know nothing about your finances (and don't want either, lol) but this is the abolute state-of-the art in classical guitars.

[whytsler]

@n8surfer Yep Surfer, i noted immediatly after got into Kingdren's website and consulted the Jean Mairet's catalog, it is NOT my guitar at all, i mean, Per-Olov's is, as far, the best classical guitar i saw.

POD: when i saw the pics i was like: o.O! (Epic Fail) lol

[n8surfer]

@whytsler LOL, i know exactly the feeling. The 1st time i heard Per Olov, I was searching for the hidden microphone, or any proof of electrical sound amplification, but, nop, there's nothing but a explendid classical guitar. It's a just a Stradivarius in the hands of a Swedish Paganini. Regards

[whytsler]

@n8surfer Yep, when i saw Per-Olov's website, then the Jean Mairet's catalog i noted that it is definitely NOT my guitar... i mean, i was totally wrong, o.O! (Epic Fail).

Funny fact: My guitar is a Yamaha c-40 rofl

[mtb2004uk]

I like this alot. Nice piece and in general well played.

I however do have a slight critique which I hope you take as constructive. The left hand should never slide on bass strings, it creates unwanted noise which detracts from otherwise a very good preformance.

[AndanteLargo]

Hi! Thank you for your kind words and suggestion. I will try to be better at moving my hands.

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[deapseafish]

there's a ghost guitarist playing behind you...spooky

[koliatima]

Comme c'est agréable et émouvant d'écouter ce morceau de Bach à la guitare.

Congratulations Per-Olov.

Best regards from France.

[josh4380]

Man I cant believe I didnt find this before!! Ive been looking everywhere for it!!

Man I should have known the great Per Olov Kindgren had already done it. Thank you Per!!

As always 5/5!!! :)

[AndanteLargo]

:) thanks for the stars.

and for listening to me.

Per-Olov

[josh4380]

My pleasure I'm sure :).

[crediama]

commovente

[HxCDOOM]

Did you transpose it to D minor or was it changed from E minor to D some time ago?

[juanxian]

[jebenifluxx]

I said it before and ill say it again! You are magnificent! Wish I could play like that...

Per-Olov

[JoJoVi11111]

Thanks for the music! I loved to hear it.

Maybe you like to listen to Bach on a steelstring guitar (no crossover). Shearch for Pal Paulikovics or check my videos. I find this very impressive too.

Thanks again.

[Oasisdelrock]

[YoJolina]

Hey Per,

Great piece. This reminds me of various movements of the 1st lute suite.

Oh by the way, my mailman asked me to ask you to hug your mailman for him.

Best,

Jo

[AndanteLargo]

Hello Jo! Thank you! (I know I am late)

I hugged my mail man and he slapped me! Can you believe that? Here I am showing affection and care. I could almost say love and what is the thanks? Slap!! I think I need a Tequila now!

Obladi!

Per

[KlodeB92]

Thank you for sending this video !You play it with such serenity ...Just what I needed this night ...Crystal clear.Bravo!

[mfchiro]

thank you thank you thank you. You offer such a beautiful expression of your soul to us, it is evident in each piece of music you approach. Your talent and gift is like an oasis in a barren wasteland of music.

Again, thank you.

[lnostdal]

Evil is human stupidity in action. There is no excuse for this. He who is stupid or crazy knows this better than anyone around him and it is his duty to warn others.

[tomio145]

evil is a word means nothing

[Vreci]

And I like it too!

Your Bach-playing (nice word) is always welcome!

cu,

wolfgang

[okvolleyball]

Anyway I love what you do !

Keep going, greetings from France

Hi dear friend. Thank you!

Per-Olov

[Binarynova]

A beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing this. Did you notice that there is a shadow of your left hand in the background? I'm not sure what it is, but I really like the effect. It adds something to the video.

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks! Yes, I saw it! Not intended though but it's a nice effect. :-)

Per-Olov

[RobertoColombo]

If J.S. Bach had had a YouTube connection he would have surely scored 5 stars for your music! :-)

[AndanteLargo]

:-) I wish!! Thanks!

Per-Olov

[BRAMSHILOH]

beautiful!!!

[BlueSundew]

Dear Peo,

I find your music marvellous. It might not seem all to spectacular at first sight, but there's much grace and beauty to be found in it, if you just listen to it a second time.

With kind regards,

Philipp

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you Philipp. I really appreciate your comment because many think it's all about playing fast and stong that is good. Personally I think it's much more difficult to play slow... and good... :-)

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[fendermac]

Perfectly lovely.The sound brings Presti and Lagoya to mind again.Beautiful.*****

Hi Peo,

again a masterpiece with unspectacular but (as allways) fantastic and perfect performance. I really enjoy all of your videos. On one hand because of the brilliant guitarhandling and on the other because of the really unique sound you provide with your videos. A real bright spot in all the musicfiles on YT. Thank you so much for sharing.

Allways stay tuned and regards from Lemgo / Germany

Bernd

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you Bernd for your kind comment!!

Appreciated.

Per-Olov

[johnnylifelive]

I must be missing something: this piece, 914, is in e minor, not d. This sounds as if it's lower, but there is another keyboard toccata in d, but this aint it. Beautifully played...forgive my pedantic noises.

[2xVitamR]

one more wonderful peo- playing.

a heaven of stars

[yanaygot]

Hello Peo, please publish the tabs for "don't cry for me Argentina" in your web shop.

thank's, yanay

[tonin76]

Bellissimo! Sei così perfetto, ma come fai? Io sbaglio sempre! :D

[sangolt88]

Very nice, I also like the dark scenery with daylight, so cool.

And remember to upload in 16:9 and higher resolution (960:540 I think) if you can the next time, and it will look even better! :D

[ANDRSNS]

Can't help being amazed with your intonation and technical clarity. Thank you very much!

[tylerjamesstephens]

You never cease to amaze me, Peo. Absolutely beautiful.

[13crickets]

Simply perfect, my friend.

Ron

[Flip1011]

beautiful, your playing is so graceful and smooth! such clear notes too!

[JesseGuitar07]

so awesome! 5*****+!!

time to use widescreen Mr!

[bumbafat]

Beautifully articulated. To me, the big, goosebump-inducing interpretation of 914 is that of Gustav Leonhardt, a harpsichord transcription (available on Philips records) that is so energetic and fiery that one never expected it to come from the usually level-headed Leonhardt. Our friend Mr Kindgren has a beautiful tone, and an 'inhabited' phrasing, never gratuitous. Remarkable. We're waiting for the rest !

[nmclay]

Maestro Kindren back to the classics, eh? Lovely piece and good filmwork!  Always love seeing new vids from you Peo. Makes my day!

Nick

[ratemyshi92]

oh man, your pinky finger seems to stretch so far. Fantastic playing

Such a retreat from the pop lyricist of myspace! Thanks so much for this beautiful interpretation of the great Bach. TRB
