Per-Olof Hedlund – Gitarr

Caprice re-releases a guitar record with Per-Olof Hedlund.

Per-Olof Hedlund (born in 1934 at Alnö outside Sundsvall) is one of Sweden’s most appreciated guitar teachers. He also belongs to the pioneer generation of classical guitar playing in Sweden.

Per-Olof Hedlund received his Music Instructor Diploma in 1963, and at the time his main instruments were viola and violin. However, he had been playing guitar since he was 10 years old and in time chose to focus more and more on this instrument for his musicianship, even as he continued to play viola in Dalarnas Orkesterförening, as well as viola da gamba and lute in a Renaissance ensemble.

In this Caprice record, Per-Olof Hedlund plays six swedish psalms, Little Serenade Op. 39 by Dag Wirén, Two Swedish Dances by Jan Carlstedt, and Lute Suite No.3 BWV 995 by Johann Sebastian Bach. Per-Olof Hedlund was the first person to play this lute suite by Bach on a radio broadcast.

This Caprice release was his debut record, and Per-Olof Hedlund has since performed on the radio and television many times.

Recorded in Tortuna Church, Västerås, in Feb 1979 to Apr 1980.
Producer and technician: Adolf Schnelzer
