Silvius Leopold Weiss: Entree in G-major

I have released my 3rd CD called "AIR".
I play music by: Dowland, Galilei, Weiss, Bach, Handel, Albinoni and Pachelbel. All, popular classical pieces that I have been asked to record on a CD.
You can order it from my website http://per-olovkindgren.com/ipnmonitor and soon also listen to sound samples there.

My humble and grateful thanks go to John and Judy Rogerson that constructed, built and traveled to Copenhagen to give me this beautiful instrument.
What they did for me, is more than anyone can expect from strangers and even from friends!
Their view on life, and what to do with it, has inspired, affected and changed my own view. This is more than I deserve but I accept it with a humble heart.
I also want to thank them for trusting me to fly Judys airplane. Something that also changed my view! Now I can see everything from above! :-)
I will treasure this for my entire life. Thank you and Stay Tuned!

Weiss and J.S. Bach probably met in Potsdam outside Berlin. They probably discussed, and agreed on that they got too little money from the king... :-) Bach and Weiss died the same year (1750) and at that time the baroque was really, REALLY out of fashion: they were the old guys! Dead boooring! It took over a 100 years until Felix Mendelssohn re-discovered the baroque and mankind realized the genius of Bach and his alike.

Guitar tuning: D AF# C G D C (a second below a guitar and with the 3rd. str. tuned half a step down (Like a lute). My transcription at http://www.per-olovkindgren.com/ipnmonitor is adapted for standard guitar in renaissance tuning. (3rd. to F#)
Stay Tuned! :-)

Hi Keith,

Thanks for listening. Yes it sounds kind of modern. But it is probably the way I play it...

This and the Bourree are on my CD (that is out today). I think the Bourree will only be on the Cd... sorry.

The resounding bass is magnificent! a well chosen piece to exhibit it's voice. many thanks, Per! was it difficult to assimilate the extra string, or easy?

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you! I am use to play an Alto guitar by Swedish luthier Georg Bolin for 15 years so I am used to more than 6 strings. But, yes, I needed some hours to learn to play this because it is bigger in length (680mm)

Thanks for listening to me.

Dear Per-Olov,

it it long ago that you posted this great piece. But I discovered it some days ago and spontaneaously order the score. Is it ok that I publish it in some weeks here with some changes with my 10string guitar?

Best wishes from Germany

Kindly,

I love the sound of this guitar! Have you posted any songs played on it? Thanks for posting all your beautiful music. Greatly appreciated!

[davidrattray]

Per you are a maestro! Love your interpretation of this piece.

I listen to your music whenever I want to hear a lullaby as I am sleeping =) Very calming and beautiful.

great guitar, superb bass, and great playing.

Haha, "stay tuned"! ^^ I got the joke!!! :-)

[Shredalist]

This is from Lute Suite no.23 isn't it? It's beautiful. I just bought your transcription of BWV 996 (prelude), and now I really want this one! I wonder how different it sounds on the regular classical though?

Thank you, once again, for the wonderful music!

Sitter på tåget hem från jobb och lyssnar på din inspelning. Helt otroligt spelat, frasering, ton, atmosfären, agogik, den djupa klangen i gitarren Otroligt bra spelat. vill bara buga och tacka för en stor upplevelse.
