AFTER SILENCE - Per-Olov Kindgren


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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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. I bought his CD without even listening to any of the promo tracks he had up; I knew it was gold, and I was right...


A musical work of art,

Bravo Maestro! I ordered your CD the same day as I saw you on YouTube. I've been playing classical guitar for 25 years, but nobody's performance touched me to tears like yours. You inspired me to get back to the guitar playing. Thank you for that! All your compositions are very romantic and performance is brilliant. Please, please, record more CDs and wright more beautiful compositions for us and for generations coming!

The audio quality is quite nice with the intimate character one would hope for in this type of music. I've been a youtube fan of Mr. Kindgren for some time and his performances here are 5-star, just as they are on youtube! I'm hoping for more CD's from this wonderful artist.

Absolutely brilliant Peo,your disciples have waited a long time for this wonderful CD.It is so relaxing,many of the tunes taking one through all the emotions,my favourites tunes,and it is hard to pick them,are Marie, I think the strong love he has for comes through and really had an influence when he composed this music for her."While you were sleeping"i think even if peo had not explained why he wrote this i would have had a feeling what he was trying to convey,beautiful composition and playing."i'll walk you home"another cracking tune that needs no words of explanation,I could go on forever but will just say if you havn't got this CD yet,do so poste haste,your life will be calmer and richer for listening to a master of his art.Thankyou peo for sharing your talent and giving your precious time to reply to comments,we can'y wait untill you come to England to give a concert,and thankyou to Youtube for letting us find you.
