Rimsky-Korsakov - Song Of India (Classical Guitar)

[@seantaylor7642]

I first saw this video about 6 years ago when I lost someone very close to me. The song is very close to my heart, there are many versions online. But this one made me cry every time I heard it as I grieved over my loss. I'd flip through photos of him while listening to this song, sobbing all the while. Then one day I started to laugh instead. Thank you Peter and Nikolia for creating music that lead me through grief and into happiness again. Never again will there be a song so bittersweet in my heart.

A haunting melody magnificently arranged by a maestro.

[@hermilapile7315]

This beguiling melody always touches my soul. Thank you.

[@NoniKiyu]

Beautifully done. I grew up with this music and never thought I would hear an arrangement for guitar done so well. Thanks so much.

[@LucasBasszerra]

I used this song in my grandparent's golden wedding. Always reminds me of them when I hear. Thank you and good job!

Чудесная музыка, прекрасная аранжировка - Браво!

[@buffalogal9139]

So splendidly beautiful, thank you so much. One stark voice makes it all the more beautiful. Thank you.

[@ttcherrick]

Absolutely wonderful! I've heard literally dozens of versions of this song, both vocal and instrumental, solo and orchestral. This arrangement - and your performance - stands up beautifully among the finest of them. I say this with greatest respect because I play this piece (very poorly) on piano, where I have the luxury of a left hand to play the lower register, and I still do not come close to your musicianship. Bravo! Post more!

[@lredmon]

...An excellent arrangement!....and playing on the guitar. Well done!......

[@freescorepaul]

I haven't heard this since I played it on clarinet as a teenager. It's clearly much more satisfying on guitar. Beautiful arrangement and performance, Peter - thanks for this one! All the best from Pittsburgh. Paul

I really enjoyed hearing your rendition of this beautiful work by Rimsky-Korsakov. I am a violinist and my father plays the guitar and this song really made me very happy. Thank you for sharing your art with me, and I would love to hear more of your music.

Very nice! I'm most familiar with Scheherazade, but it was good to get to hear another of Rimsky-Korsakov's works. Lovely arrangement.

Kaveh Hassankhani, thank you for watching and commenting.

[@peteralekka]

Ariel de la Iglesia, I use sound recorder ZOOM H2 and sound editor Audacity (free for download). Best wishes.

[@howardjones7370]

Peter Alekka Despite the fact that I always want to hear a full orchestra of lush strings just sweep me away with this most amazing piece of music, and because Rimsky Korsakov was a master of orchestration I have generally been unfulfilled in that regard, because frankly no one really seems to have transcribed it just how I feel it should be done,........HOWEVER, that being said, I am also a huge fan of classical guitar, and your interpretation absolutely nails it for me!! Subtlety, a real regard for the piece, beautifully executed in every respect, bravo Peter!! Excellent, 10/10 for me, I have already shared this with my son, excuse me now while I listen again 👍🏻🍾🥂

[@lepipep]

I want to learn this so badly. is there a sheet music I can learn from?!

[@leoosiku]
