J.S. Bach: "Sheep may safely graze" (BWV 208) for classical guitar @Per-Olov Kindgren guitar

- I made an arrangement of "Schafer können sicher weiden" (Sheep may safely graze) from Cantata BWV 208 by Bach. I worked on it for 6 days making changes over and over again. But I love this music and really wanted to make a playable arrangement and I think I made it! :-)
Sorry for the "wet look" but I was gardening when it started to rain and I decided to record this instead of moving the lawn in pouring rain...
Love,
Per-Olov

When I despair of humanity, I think of J.S.Bach and Per-Olov Kindgren, and I recover hope.
I would have never expect that playing this piece by a guitar would be possible. Beautiful!
Absolutely exquisite! Thank you Per-Olov you've raised your own bar yet again..
I truly believe that if your video's views possessed six more zeros in front of whatever number is up there right this very moment, then we would all be living in a much better, saner world...........wishful thinking. Thank you sir, no less, for showing us Bach's undefinable genius, and illustrating yours as well.
Dammit, now I've got to buy a hat, so I can take it off to you. Brilliant !
No need to. Your kind comment is enough.
Per-Olov
優しく暖かい演奏でとても素晴らしです。ありがとうございました♪
全世界が穏やかで平和になりますように。
Arigato!
Thank you for recording for all to enjoy. When I listen to your arrangements I feel stress melt away.
Glad to hear that Kurt!!
Thank you, Per! Bach for ever! - Athan
Beautiful arrangement. My mother was a church organist and I grew up from a very young age listening to her playing Bach. "Sheep May Safely Graze" and "Jesu Joy Of Man's Desiring" and "Sleepers Awake" and many other pieces had a huge impact on me and still does to this day.
Again I say, as with Sleepers, like it was written for classical guitar. Beautiful sir!
Thanks for listening
Bella interpretación 👌🎼🎶👌👍👍👍❤️🎼👍
Thank you very much for posting this. Bach always makes it feel like he is giving us pieces of some world unknown to us. Together with your wonderful playing of this otherworldly piece, this a joy to listen to.
Well said! Thanks for listening to me.
Bach translated the Divine/God through Harmony, incontrovertibly.
Reminds me of Psalm 23
A psalm of David.
1
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4
Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
Amen
A totally sublime rendition of this beautiful aria. Kudos.
Thank you so much!
Very relaxing to hear this on the guitar.
Waow this is perfect for us staying in the flat with Covid-19.
We have no balcony so this music is a as if we had an open window
Merci Per, depuis Lyon (France)
@JRG2733 ahah hope that it will be less powerful than la peste. God bless
Same here in Indonesia. Day 12 of my isolation.. God bless us.
@@mey6130 good luck ! Take care
@Tonf69 Thank u. Take care u too.
Probably the best solo arrangement I've ever heard for this piece. You did an EXCELLENT job, sir.
Between the lawn and us, the listeners, we definitely got the best part of the deal.. Many thanks - as you say, a demanding piece to play but, I suspect, extremely rewarding.
🐑☘☘🐑🍀☘ always wonder how melodies and compositions come to peoples' minds. This one is so special and beautiful. What a blessing Bachs work is and thank you for this beautiful arrangement
This is one of my favorite Bach pieces, but I haven't heard it on classical guitar before. I think composer Bach is up there cheering this perforamance of his work right now. Beautifully done, Thanks for your masterful performance of it.
Many thanks! I hope you are right about Bach cheering! Thank you for listening to me.
Per-Olov
I think Bach is sitting on a cloud thinking, oh crap, I should have learned to play the guitar like Per-Olov! :-)
My introduction to this piece was my woodwork teacher playing it on a harpsichord he built at school.
I've loved it ever since.
He taught woodwork to Peter Frampton and David Jones ( Bowie) too!
@@Per-Olovkindgren I agree with Lee. An incredible piece of music played so beautifully. Thank you.
Wasn’t it Telemann?
It is so obvious your love for Bach - thank you or spreading beauty in this troubled world!
Thank you! I am happy you can hear that!
Per-Olov
OH BOY!! More Bach!! Thank you again. Am enjoying your Concert tonight.
Great, beautiful, as Bach "per gloria Deum". Thanks.
Thank you, Mr. Kindgren, for giving us this sublime music. And thanks to J.S. Bach, but we would not have heard it in our day and age if it were not for devoted musicans like you.
I love to remind ppl that Bach never composed for the guitar...
just to show how much we like to rebel
We appreciate that you were distracted from the gardening. Every interruption should be so enjoyable. Thank you for brightening my day.
I love this one too... You make the guitar sing!
Helt fantastiskt... tjugonde gången jag tittar
:-) Tack! Uppskattat!
Hälsningar från Köpenhamn.
A pleasure to drop by from time to time and listen to your wonderful rendition of Bach's piece.
Muy Bonita Sr Kindgren! Gracias por una Bella interpretasion
Thank you Mr.Kindgren for such a wonderful exquisite performance and transcription of this materpiece. Segovia said the guitar is a miniature orchestra....thank you for bringing his words to life ☺
You captured the soul of this piece and made the guitar the “little orchestra” Segovia as liked to call it .
Hey! He's back on UA-cam! Glad to see you return Per! Few players match your grace and insight.
Beautiful, your efforts are appreciated..
Absolutely beautiful! :)
I must tell you, "the Beach" is hauntingly beautiful, and the first to catch my attention. The guitar technique is the best ever. I adore it.
Bravo! Muito lindo
Beautiful!
Beautiful performance arrangement, so personal and inspiring! Warm wishes from Michigan.
Thank you very much David!
Greetings from Copenhagen.
Your version put a big lump in my throat. Absolutely beautiful, well done.
Absolutely wonderful! You played one of my favourite songs so well! Thank you!
This is so beautiful, I truly appreciate you as a classical guitarist.
Wunderbar gespielt. Ich mag dieses Stück so sehr. 👍
I absolutely love Bach's work, and this particular Cantata never fails to leave me speechless. I was curious to see if I could find other arrangements for the piece, and I'm honestly happy to have stumbled upon your video! Your arrangement is wonderful and I always find myself going back to this video time and time again! It brings me comfort and greater appreciation for the classical guitar. Thank you so much for sharing this Sir, I really love this!
Dear Sophia,
Thank you for listening to me and returning to my version. Appreciated.
Per-Olov
Everytime I am impressed by the beauty of this piece and your mastery.
Thanks a lot! Appreciated.
I know you're replying on Vimeo, but I'm writing a comment here anyway. Love it!!! one of my favorites :-) Scott
Thank you Per. One of my favorites, especially as a pastor of a flock. Have a great time with Scott in NY in August.
I make a conscious effort not to speak in absolutes, so I will say that nearly every note is intentional. It is as if half of Per Olav plays, while the other half is taking a careful inventory or “audit”, if you will, of every note and the value.
The phrasing is outstanding, and Julian Bream would agree as he once said “We hear the first note, and it is as if at that same moment we have also heard the last.” He said something like this in reference to the 1000/1001 Fugue - it is a privilege to play pieces such as this
Dear Charles Darwin. Thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated. And I agree with Julian Bream (one of my guitar heros) that Bach's music is totally unpredictable and yet... we know the piece as soon as we hear the first note. Amazing!
Thank you!
Per-Olov
Thus smiled Bach.
Thank you for sharing this! One of my all-time favorites by J.S.Bach done very tastefully and played perfectly by a master of the strings... ~
Bonjour et merci cher Per-Olov, votre interprétation est magnifique :D
Amicalement, Rosy
Greatest arrangement I've ever heard. Lovely
Masterfully done.
