Before Silence…
For this video I am indebted to Per Olov Kindgren for his beautiful composition “Before Silence” he plays here. John Williams says of the guitar, “The beauty of the guitar is the dying away of the note”… This piece strikes at that very essence of the classical guitar beauty. I am pleased to welcome Peo to my site in an interview in my pages section.
This video has in it what many other players are aspiring to but often never quite reach; and unfortunately many players that I’ve met don’t really understand what it is that they really want to achieve. But that ‘thing’ is so sweetly expressed here. The piece of music is incredibly beautiful and at the same time is of a high musical standard. What makes it so good is that it is not over played and the player has a fine enough technique to execute what he needs to express, this creates enough room for him to be ‘inside’ the piece of music and express the emotion unhindered. This is as far as I can see, or at least according to my criteria, a rare moment of music that fortunately was captured on video. I am grateful to the musician to have been fortunate enough to hear it.

Should say ‘enough room’
