Benny Andersson

Broadway - The American Musical (PBS Series)

Richard Adler, Peter Allen, ...

Sony, 2004

Fabulous for any Broadway-lover
Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a ...

So Strong

The Celtic Tenors

EMI Classics, 2002

So Strong
I was watching public television and saw "The Celtic Tenors". The next day I found their CD, "So Stong". Finding voices of such obvious quality producing harmony so perfectly is rare. The first song brought me to tears and I wanted to stand and cheer. In fact, I did. ...

Mamma Mia! The Musical Based on the Songs of ABBA: A Decca Broadway Original Cast Recording (1999 London Cast)

Benny Andersson, Julian Poole, ...

Decca Broadway, 2000

Relive the Magic
If you've only seen the movie version of Mamma Mia, you're in for a treat, as this recording features 24 songs (much more than was featured in the film) all sung beautifully by the 1999 London cast.

The Kings Singers - New Day

John David, Peter Christie, ...

EMI Classics, 1990

Beautiful singing; clever arrangements
I have been a fan of The King's Singers since their debut recording thirty years ago. New Day is one of my favourite albums. It has the terrific optimistic song "New Day," but many other wonderful tracks. "Can't Buy Me Love" is sung as if it had been written by one of ...

Mamma Mia!: 5th Anniversary Edition

If you enjoyed the musical
I wish that this edition was released earlier, I have the original soundtrack, but it would have been nice if they had the encore songs in it, which this one does. If you enjoyed the musical you should have this CD because it will bring you back and recall the scenes ...

Chess (1988 Original Broadway Cast)

Benny Andersson, David Carroll, ...

RCA, 1990

Love it
This is if not my favorite musical, then my favorite modern musical. The music is breathtaking. The lyrics are mostly excellent too. In the liner notes that came with my copy, there is a note that the words to the last song had been changed due to american ...

Tenology

Patrick / Grossi, Jean Marc / Micaelli, Thierry Abrial, Benny / Ulvaeus, Bjorn / Anderson, Stig Andersson, ...

Rhino / Wea, 2006

Great entertainment
I have two of their CDs. Both are good but this is my favorite. Bohemian Rhapsody alone is worth the cost of the CD.

Into Paradise

Tomaso Albinoni, Frode Alnaes, ...

Decca, 2006

Sissel Into Paradise
Fabulous! Another great Sissel CD. Has a lighter touch than other music selections by Sissel but her fabulous voice is so versatile that it's soars no matter the style of music.

Chess

Benny Andersson, Benny / Ulvaeus, Bjorn / Anderson, Stig Andersson, ...

Decca Broadway, 1996

THE BEST Muscial score ever written, hands down......
I have been listening to this CD for over a decade and it is still relevant, still in my CD player at all times, and a muscial and score that will live on as my all-time favorite for decades to come. I was blessed and fortunate to see Josh Groban, Raul Esparza and ...

Ron Raines

Jay Records, 2004

So in Love With Broadway
Ah,yes, Ron Raines expresses his love of Broadway music with a beautiful baritone voice which possesses all of the passion of a great lover! A magnificent performance throughout the CD. A must for every true lover of Broadway music. It rates a Ten Star on a five ...

Chess In Concert (1994 Swedish Concert Cast)

Benny Andersson, Benny / Ulvaeus, Bjorn / Anderson, Stig Andersson, ...

Import [Generic], 1996

If you like "Chess: the Musical", you need this CD
I have owned, and have been a huge fan of, the original London cast recording of Chess since 1985. I love the mix of classical and rock stylings, and I'm also a major fan of practically anything that Benny and Bjorn turn out. However, I approached this album with ...

Love Changes Everything

Kalle Magnusson, Benny / Ulvaeus, Bjorn / Anderson, Stig Andersson, ...

Dptv Media, 2004

This is great!
This CD has Broadway songs sung by a great singer. I especially like his rendition of STARS from LES MISERABLES. This song is not on many CD's besides the cast albums of Les Miserables. He is a very good singer. While you may like the original versions better, you ...

For the Stars

Anne Sofie von Otter, Elvis Costello

Deutsche Grammophon, 2001

I LOVE this CD!
Finally, an opera singer who knows how to channel her Classical training into a sound that is, as one critic aptly described it, "what pop singers would sound like if they could actually sing"! Although Elvis Costello does not join Ms. von Otter very often in the ...
