Finnish mandolinist plays Bach, Jazz, Choro, Nordic Folk etc.

[Risto]

Hi,

I´m a Finnish mandolin player and held a solo mandolin concert recently at a local restaurant. Here are a couple of video clips from the concert. The first one features the famous Prelude from J.S. Bach´s first Cello Suite (I actually played the suite in full during the first part of my concert). The second one is basically a collection of short snippets from the various tunes included in my set list. So in addition to Bach you get to hear some jazz standards, a little bit of Brazilian music, some Nordic folk music etc. I hope you enjoy the videos and please leave a comment, it would be great to hear from you!

Nicely done. The cello suite was my favorite bit.

Very nice playing, Risto. You have a lovey touch on the mandolin too — very musical.

Nice playing.

Thanks for your kind comments, I truly appreciate them! The mandolin I play here is a 2014 Gibson F-9.
