Per-Olov Kindgren - "AFTER SILENCE" "After Silence" contains 23 pieces for solo guitar, composed by Per-Olov Kindgren himself. The music is melodic, accessable but not "easy and plain". It has it's influences from many periods and styles; classical, latin, folkmusic, even popmusic. Mr. Kindgren has achieved to "melt" this into his own, personal style. The guitar's sound and melodic ability is always in focus. The last can also be said about Mr. Kindgren's playing style too: warmth, melody, careing for the music, love for the details and sound are more important to him than virtuosity. Bengt Andreasson Dansk Guitar Selskab (DGS) Calming, Evocative, Uplifting! As has been said in earlier reviews, I've been watching Peo's videos on YouTube for quite some time, and have many of them saved as favorites. I even created a player to attach to my MySpace page so that I could listen to them while at work. Now that I have this CD, I can enjoy his brilliance not only at work, but on my drive to and from work, or where ever I travel.  This CD definately gives you a reason to smile, and calms the nerves of a hectic day at work, and allows you to navigate the relentless beckoning of anger while fighting rush hour traffic.Thank you Peo! Santiago J Trujillo Brilliant!! I've been enjoying his videos on YouTube for a while now and was always wondering if he would ever release a CD.... It was well worth the wait! Ronnie Tabor Splendid while listening to cd in my car i even started to drive more relaxed than ever before! This saves me speed-tickets! i luv it, wonder if Per has more cd's i can buy? Frank Raateland Keeps your mind open What a beautiful CD, Peo! I can remember an indian word: "If what you want to say isn't more beautiful than silence, so don't say anything" Your music awake the silence in my mind and leave only the beauty with a deep feeling of peace. Thanks Peo! Pierre Vernet Long Awaited Per-Olov Kindgren has a huge devoted following on You Tube for his many videos, and his fans have been waiting for this CD for a while. It's no accident that it sold out quickly and the recording company is rushing to get more copies out to distributors. Although Peo has so many fans, rightly earned because of his artistry, he has retained his humility and kindness. He has the rare ability to connect intimately to fans the world over, through his compositions and performances of classic guitar pieces. When you need to have some quiet reflective space and just want to hear beautiful music to lift your spirit, put this album on. You will end up joining us in praising this kind-hearted and talented man.

Brinker "-Conrad" (CA, USA) I had originally watched Per-Olov on youtube where he did videos of his renditions of classical songs. He's an amazing musician, very precise and accurate.
