  31. Thank you for the music - сама по себе душевная и красивая песня у ABBA.

    Но клавишная инструментальная версия, которую играет сам Бенни Андерссон мне нравится чуть ли не больше.

    youtube.com/watch?v=rC4hgWQHH-

    Аранжировка звучит не менее душевно, но при этом ещё и позволяет себе шуточки вроде небольших смен жанров вроде внезапного скачка на рэгтайм во втором куплете (и не только).

    Автор как бы замечает, что "а вот тут у нас мелодия похожа на типичный для жанра ход - так давайте ещё чуть-чуть поменяем ритмику и сделаем реверанс".

  34. Over the years Benny Andersson and Tim Rice have returned to the work over and over, making concert versions, including one with Josh Groban and Idina Menzel.

    Minor productions have been set up all over the world, from Aotearoa New Zealand to South Korea to Germany to Russia to the US and obviously many times in Sweden and its neighbors.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_(m…

    Each time has used a different selection of songs and a different mix of plots, as several songs were added to the original score for both the West End and Broadway productions and the Broadway plot is quite different from that of West End and the album.

    The work has been translated into Swedish, Italian, Hungarian and parts of it into Russian, where some of the songs were used for a different work.

    Is it the most well-known obscure and the most successful unsuccessful (on Broadway) musical?

  35. Nach fast 40 Jahren kehren die Schweden mit dem Album "Voyage" und einer virtuellen Konzertshow zurück. Werden sie damit auch neue Fans begeistern können?
