First Recording ! J.Wikmanson(1753-1800) : Ballade,arr.Söllscher. Göran Söllscher guitar

Johan Wikmanson is one of Swedens most well known 18:th century composers.
He was famous for his beautiful string quartets but also wrote music for other instruments like in this case,the piano.
The Ballade is from a collection with the lovely title : Fragments for my little girl. Written to his daughter Christina.
Wikmanson was a collegue and friend of the Swedish poet and composer Carl Michael Bellman,and I think one can
feel Bellmans spirit in this beautiful Ballade.
Recorded on my Alejandro guitar from 1985

Good afternoon Mr. Söllscher .
I usually don't write comments, I just listen and enjoy quietly... but I must break this rule for this time.
Your style of playing the guitar is delightful and your touch is so delicate and smooth. I can see from the always relaxed face, you're putting heart and soul into all those pieces. I'm a classic guitarist as well and during the last time I've been trying to learn some of your right hand techniques by watching several of your uploads, even the less recent ones.
Thank you for sharing your music all along the internet. People like you are precious!
Greetings from Italy.
Leonardo

Tack käre vän 🙏 Ja,Wikmanson var en spännande figur i Gustav III :s Sverige. Mitt i Stockholms musikliv tillsammans med Bellman och andra.
Hans första stråkkvartett är väldigt fin.
Trevlig helg !

Thanks a lot - so kind of you 🙏🙏🙏

[@pakerman3d]

I have been following you since some outsorting in Gävle bibliotek in the middle of the 1980s. There I came over Greensleeves and some other LPs.
I though I had a descent view of the Swedish musicians of the time, (late 1700s) but this was something new.. So incredibly beautiful
