On the day after the passing of the brilliant poet, and musician Leonard Cohen thanks Per Olav for bring his music to light on your beautiful version of probably his most famous anthem.
Señor Kindgren just keeps delivering. I have been sitting here for hours now going from one video to another and not once has he failed or dissappointed me. Brilliant player and musikian.
I check in every few months in hopes that the sheet music would be available. So saddened every time, but I never tire of hearing you play this piece. I consider it my consolation prize!
What a knockout performance,thankyou Per,its so sad that we have now lost Jeff and Leonard,thank goodness we still have your beautiful interpretation of their music,Superb rendition so thankyou,Derek UK
I lost my dad back in December and he and i used to listen to your videos together....man i miss him but watching this made me feel a little closer to him for at least a little bit. Absolutely beautiful
I first got introduced to classical guitar watching your videos. Ten years later, I still come to you every so often for a moment of musical bliss. Thank you, Peo.
since it does not look likely that Per's arrangement will be available publicly, you can find some inferior arrangements of this song, with some of the Jeff Buckley additions, for sale on the internet. Then you can use your arrangement as a starting point as you figure out what Per has done so well. It is slow work for an amateur like me but I have been able to figure out what he has done and make a workable arrangement this close enough by watching and listening to this video. As always, Per is an excellent arranger and musician, greatly appreciate his work.
@arda balkan - Brilliant personal opinion! Now please share the link to Mılos Maradaglic's version of Hallelujah. I want to judge who plays it best too.
You are absolutely amazing. After my time with studying guitar in college I hope to one day be as good as you. You are an inspiration to me Per-Olav. Thank you for sharing your guitar playing to the world!
This song has always been my most favorite, and I keep looking for different versions and arrangements. I simply loved this one. I just wish I could pour hot oil in the ears of those 372 who actually disliked it.
Incredible... absolutely incredible... This is why music is so important for so many... it can express feelings words just can't describe, and the emotions that you put into your performances are so riveting and passionate it changes the meaning. So much so that you can actually feel the music, and not only hear, but feel the emotion in it, and that is what true music is. Thank you so much for sharing your blessing with the world
No matter what I listen to you play, I know and feel it comes from your heart. Especially so on this piece where you note "there is space for improvisation". Thank you most kindly for sharing.
Dear Per-Olov, What a joy to listen just to your "Hallelujah"! This song means so much to me... Why? I will explain it later. Now I have tears in my eyes... Thank you, Per-Olov
Off everybody on youtube this is the guy I can lesson to the longest and the most. Such percussion. Unread and everything he plays is played as close to perfection and you can get. I play decent guitar, nowheres close to Kindren and I know just how hard it is to play this precise. Fantastic job. Your the best.
I've heard so many versions of this song but this one has to be my favorite it's just so peaceful from the birds at the beginning to the remarkable playing throughout, bravo
Sublime guitar arranging and performing with such great taste and sensibility.Guitar tone and execution so professional, thanks good friend for all the dedication and love you put in everytime again without hesitation, appreciated by the connaiseurs of great guitar music, please let me hear your oppinion on my last 2 video's, thank you,Vic.
I listen to these covers when I am in deep thought, contemplating the world, or sad and lonely, and they never fail to ease my sorrow and re-ignite my hunger for more beautiful music like this :) Bravo!
Yep ! always a song/tune that resonates with a ton of folk ! I have listened to just about every cover over the years. I murder this song on my classical but I play it all the same & everytime it feels good ;-)) You did it proud & I loved it ! Cheers !!
thank you my friend, stressful day , a bunch of things to think about then i watch this and at least for a moment i go somewhere else, disconnect, it really makes me feel good. thank you
Divine. Simply beautiful. I'm listening to this at two'O clock in the morning. And my heart is crying. Your playing is very comforting, sir. A shoulder to cry on.. Thank you.
I love it Per-Olov, but I see it out there now and it is something worthwhile to me, the arrangement I mean, but still can't wait to have the chance to buy your super arrangement.
What a beautiful rendition, Per-Olov. In two months my family celebrates a requiem for my mother, who sadly passed away less than one year ago. I would like to remember her by playing one of her favourite songs. As this one is the best fingerstyle version i have ever listened to, I would be glad if the tabs were available for purchase. Thank you and keep up the good work :)
Vous rendez justice à cette oeuvre grandiose... Autant à L.Cohen (Dieu ait son âme!) et à l'interprète majestueux qu'était J.Buckley... Votre interprétation est je suppose ce qui est dorénavant entendu en Haut avec la réunion de ces deux grands musiciens! Merci
Para Per- Olov Kindgreen: Ouvir "HALLELUJAH" ao dedilhado de seu instrumento é maravilhoso, suas músicas açompanham todas as minhas manhãs " CANON IN D" é viajar pelas criações divinas, sequer encontrei palavras para descrever o maravilhoso som que inspiram a alma. PARABENS.... PARABENS!!!
Very calming and healing. Thank you! You seem to have a very ideal life - you found what you wanted to do in your life: playing classical guitar throughout your life. You are doing great! Truly Envy you----
Thank you. I am very privileged, I know. But I have also worked hard to do what I do... nothing is easy in a musicians life. So please don't be envious! :-) But thanks!
I find myself coming back to this again and again -- today in the middle of a tricky work day -- and it is always so wonderful to listen to. There are so many (dozen) great Per-Olov Kindgren songs and arrangements!
You play in such a smooth, 'clean', straight forward way that it goes direct to heart.Thank you for being on this troubled Planet and for the comfort I get from listening to you playing this marvellous instrument. God (whatever this word means to you) bless you for your precious contribution on Mother Earth. ❣️
You still bring a lump to my throat when I hear you play Peo. Thank you.
Jesus Christ what a gift is the single opportunity to hear this. Thanks Per-Olov :*')
Your youtube chanel is full of songs I adore. Your skillfulness and performance (emotion wise),leaves me in awe. May God bless you.
I think God subscribes to him
There is no greater thing on earth than a teacher who never ceases to learn.
On the day after the passing of the brilliant poet, and musician Leonard Cohen thanks Per Olav for bring his music to light on your beautiful version of probably his most famous anthem.
Awsome! My kid sleeps peacefully with This one, cannon in D and somewhere over the rainbow. Thank you.
Saludos desde México.
Señor Kindgren just keeps delivering. I have been sitting here for hours now going from one video to another and not once has he failed or dissappointed me. Brilliant player and musikian.
A sensitive and melancholy Hallelujah, it touches my heart.
I check in every few months in hopes that the sheet music would be available. So saddened every time, but I never tire of hearing you play this piece. I consider it my consolation prize!
What a knockout performance,thankyou Per,its so sad that we have now lost Jeff and Leonard,thank goodness we still have your beautiful interpretation of their music,Superb rendition so thankyou,Derek UK
Thank you for everything, Per-Olov.
I started crying cause it's beautiful
your life and soul spills into your guitar sir...thanks for sharing
Wonderful. The sound, timing, the touch just wonderful. Thank you.
I lost my dad back in December and he and i used to listen to your videos together....man i miss him but watching this made me feel a little closer to him for at least a little bit. Absolutely beautiful
Sorry for your loss. I am glad to know music brings you closer to your father. Please keep listening to me.
Per-Olov
This should be one of the most beautiful and touching performances i have ever listened in youtube ..
a very touching memorial tribute for Jeff, RIP.
I first got introduced to classical guitar watching your videos. Ten years later, I still come to you every so often for a moment of musical bliss. Thank you, Peo.
A beautiful melody, a wonderful life and God !!
I now know the answer to the question "can music heal your mortal soul?" thanks for the beautiful music.
This version will always have a place in my heart. A definite favorite version. Kudos, thumbs up 👍:)
I've been listening to your playing for more than 10 years. Very impressive!!!
I've been having a stressful few days, and I finally found myself relaxing now listening to your beautiful rendition. Thank you!
You are so welcome! ;-)
always getting watery eyes listening to this.. very touching performance. Thanks for sharing. I really hope the tabs become available soon ! cheers.

Per-olov and Michael Marc are so blessed to have mastered classical guitar so smoothly. Shalom Aleichem Gents!
A wonderful job, a true art, mr. Kindgren. Works like this give the world serenity, harmony, peace. Greetins from Brazil! =)
Bella Chitarra!!! You make absolutely beautiful music. God has truly blessed you with a gift.
I've just started playing classical guitar. And my God sir, you've inspired me so much. Hopefully I can one day play as beautifully as you.
I dare anyone to listen to this simple but beautiful rendition, and not want to sing along. Go ahead, enjoy and sing to your heart's content.
Incredible... absolutely incredible...
This is why music is so important for so many... it can express feelings words just can't describe, and the emotions that you put into your performances are so riveting and passionate it changes the meaning.

What a beautiful sound...!
Breathtaking... simply amazing. Congratulations!!!
I so hope I can get the sheet music for this some day. What a perfect rendition.
I listen to these covers when I am in deep thought, contemplating the world, or sad and lonely, and they never fail to ease my sorrow and re-ignite my hunger for more beautiful music like this :) Bravo!
Superb phrasing, the music speaks the singing, it feels like there's a voice within the music
Just the kind of musical salve needed right now! ♥️
Thank you, Per-Olov. I could listen to you all day and it brings so much peace in my heart and mind.
You are A master in the guitar

유소영 same lol
An awesome guitar player? He makes the guitar sing, and express the song. You're awesome.
Ach! The quality is clean with SO much sensuality. Thank you for this flawless rendering.
Amazing! Your music is inspiring for a humble musician like me. Never get tired hearing such emotional playing.
Beautiful, could listen over and over and over and never get tired.
I listen to this when studying. Perfect.
I love it Per-Olov, but I see it out there now and it is something worthwhile to me, the arrangement I mean, but still can't wait to have the chance to buy your super arrangement.
I love this song, and i love thí melody... :) so much

貴方の奏でる音は、胸の奥に沁み渡り深い情を呼び覚まします。
切なくて涙が溢れます。
生きてる事に感謝の思いが湧き上がります。
ありがとうございます。
Arigato!!
返信、嬉しい😃
貴方の居る場所から地球の裏側に住む遠く離れた場所に住む私が、RUclipsで貴方を知り、貴方の奏でるギターで感動と生きる事の幸せを感じています。
地球の何処かで、多くの人が傷つけ合う戦争があること等、考えられない程に幸せです、
でも、同じ地球に住む同じ人間が苦しみ生きる事に怯えている現実があります。
貴方のギターを多くの人に聴いて欲しい。
傷つけ合う戦争は意味が無い事に気付くと思う。
Magnificent Per-Olov, you are a true artist and thanks you for sharing this with us.
wow...that was amazing. Thank you sir for sharing.
Para Per- Olov Kindgreen: Ouvir "HALLELUJAH" ao dedilhado de seu instrumento é maravilhoso, suas músicas açompanham todas as minhas manhãs " CANON IN D" é viajar pelas criações divinas, sequer encontrei palavras para descrever o maravilhoso som que inspiram a alma. PARABENS.... PARABENS!!!
É realmente fantástico!
Very calming and healing. Thank you!
You seem to have a very ideal life - you found what you wanted to do in your life: playing classical guitar throughout your life. You are doing great! Truly Envy you----
Thank you. I am very privileged, I know. But I have also worked hard to do what I do... nothing is easy in a musicians life. So please don't be envious! :-)
But thanks!
God that is so hauntingly beautiful, so clean and precise, blows the other compositions I've heard out of the water
I absolutely love your arrangement
I find myself coming back to this again and again -- today in the middle of a tricky work day -- and it is always so wonderful to listen to. There are so many (dozen) great Per-Olov Kindgren songs and arrangements!
It is a beautiful and moving performance.
Fantastic !!!
I love this version. So so good.
Absolutely beautiful. My most difficult thing in my playing is what to focus on. I love so many styles. But this is pushing me to classical.
What a wonderful performance. I would love to see this rendition on sheet music.
Since Cohen,s death I have been just sickened by the versions of this, until this superb interpretation --- Thank You !!
Wonderful composition....wonderful artist!
Thank you Mr. Kindgren Sir. Another phenomenal performance.
You play in such a smooth, 'clean', straight forward way that it goes direct to heart.Thank you for being on this troubled Planet and for the comfort I get from listening to you playing this marvellous instrument.
