Guitar World

This video is an extract of a live concert of Per Olov Kindgren, playing in France. I hope before long Peo will come to UK

Today’s inspiration is from Richard Durrant, with a charming piece Wilbury Summer. Richard is currently recovering from a broken ankle, so all the best for a speedy recovery, Richard

The song Un Jour Tu Verras, adapted for guitar by Roland Dyens, played by Bernard (Cryloud). This has always been a romantic favourite of mine, and it’s a good one for Valentines night, which is sometimes a guitar gig night

You will remember Cheryl Grice-Watterson, who was kind enough to give me an interview a while ago. Here she is playing a gorgeous rendition of “Misty” by Erroll Garner. It’s the first time I’ve heard Cheryl play for some while, but her sound is even more beautiful as ever.

Bernard, alias Cryloud of youtube, has his first CD out, available soon online. Here he is playing Suite des Constellations, by Jean Marie Raymond, a terrific Brazillian styled piece.

A Happy New Year to you all

Rare video of guitarist Marcelo Kayath in concert, playing Mazurka Choro by Villa Lobos.

Bernard, alias cyrloud, on youtube, has recorded a lovely rendition of Leo Brower’s haunting “A Day In November”, originally a piece of film music adapted for guitar. The recuring theme always reminds me of a Christmas carol type of song, but it’s autumnal melancholy is very apt for this time of year…Thanks Bernard

The wonderful Paraguayan guitarist Berta Rojas playing Ca’azapa by Barrios, in Ireland.

ABC Classics have released this promotion video of Karin Schaupp. Her latest CD is the great guitar concerto’s, including Bacarisses little-known Concertino, Romancero Gitano, and the much played Rodrigo Arranjuez.

In the video she said she’d thought of Castelnuovo Tedesco concerto, partly because it is rarely recorded. What a pity she did not include this often overlooked gem, in my opinion (I can feel another post coming on) ….Anyway, from this video, the recording sounds great

Peo Kindgren performs his new piece “Winter from “The Four Seasons”, with pictures of Sweden as background.

Peo, I like the look of your new home in Sweden, what a great room to play guitar in too
