J. S. Bach: Arioso BWV 156 Classical guitar played by Per-Olov Kindgren

This is my arrangement of Bach's beautiful and famous piece, ARIOSO from BWV 156. This is also named '"Ich steh mit einem Fuss im Grabe." (English: " I stand with one foot in the grave".
Original key is F-Major but I transposed it to A-Major to make it easier to play on the guitar. The ending in not always heard (for unknown reasons) but this is the original ending.
Original instruments: Oboe, Strings and Basso Continuo
My 3rd CD is called "AIR" where I play music by: Dowland, Galilei, Weiss, Bach, Handel, Albinoni and Pachelbel. All, popular classical pieces that I have been asked to record on a CD.
You can download it from my website shop.per-olovkindgren.com/
I hope you enjoy this one.

Bach THE composer,certainly in contact with the Heavens,as he said once himself: I'm just the instrument and heavenly One is passing it all on through me. When I listen to this Music I believe this statement to be true. Great transposition and sounding from the Heavens,Vic.

[@yurisilva7860]

Nice job Per-Olov! There is a very famous version of this piece by Flavio Venturini, from Brazil, called “Céu de Santo Amaro”, w/ lyrics. !

[@amzy231990]

always a fan of per-olov kindgren... :) ever since i started playing guitar...

[@endeavouring1]

Mr. Per-Olov, words can't describe how pleased I am having bought this arrangement(and a few others in the past). I've no classical training, but thanks to you I can still learn a few of these great songs and couldn't be more happy and appreciative of what you've done. I've only learned a small part of "Arioso" thus far, but people like yourself give me the inspiration to keep going. Thank you so much.

[@Per-Olovkindgren]

Muchas gracias mi amigo! Happy you listen to me. Saludos desde Suecia :-)) Have a great day! Per-Olov

[@Per-Olovkindgren]

Hi there my friend. First thanks for using my web shop. I hope you will be back for more later. :-) I always loved this one and after doing the Air :-) I worked at this arrangement. It is not that easy so keep hanging in there! it is worth it in the long run. Kindly, and good luck! Per-Olov

[@kingkong6666]

Bach is my favourite too, and it is great to listen to this sublime arrangement of one of his most famous tunes. I also love your stylish short notes when it is appropriate, plus March the 12th is my name day. I hope you will be able to make lots of similarly beautiful music till one of your feet is still out of the grave! Respect my young friend, Gergely

[@PAYOON07]

Hello Mr.Per-Olov Thank You for transcribing this song, I just bought it from your site.(Thank you very much for transposed it!) This is the first song I ever heard from Bach, and it's the reason I learn classical guitar, and I've never find the sheet music!!!! So many years I asked my teacher and friends and they got only 'Air on G string' :) Thanks again god bless

[@Rory101nz]

I rarely comment on videos, but wanted to let you know I have had hours of fun over the past ~7 years learning to play Bach songs by purchasing the music of your arrangements. Thank you!

I'm a classical guitar student at GWU in the states and you sir continue to inspire me with your arrangements. Although it's a bit of a pipe dream, I hope to make a career out of composing and arranging for solo guitar and hearing things like this only reinforce my drice to achieve my goal
