All those songs are written by Björn and Benny in the musicals Kristina från Duvemåla, Helen and Peter's songs and Chess, Tommy's song. They are the original singers of those songs in the musicals, since they were in the original productions of them
Three legendary Swedish singers, singing songs from two legendary Swedish musicals, composed by two legendary Swedish composers, songwriters and artists. And it's only part of the tip of the iceberg of Swedish influence on music.
Peter did Phantom of the opera on Broadway and in London and was one of the 3 biggest stars coming back for the celebration performance in honor of Andrew Loyd Webber in 2011. He sang with Sarah Brightman. He has also played in Miss Saigon and The witches from Eastwick in London.
Hi (Hej). Im Swedish, and in historyclasses in swedish schools, everyone learns about ”utvandrarna” (”the emigrants”) / ”Christina från Duvemåla”. Utvandrarna then became a musical, and its those songs that Peter and Helen sings i this video. Its about the jurney from Sweden to America, and their new life over there. In early 1800 (1900), after several life times in war, sweden became a weary poor country, and many swedes emigrated to america to get a better life (even in my family tree we know that relatives went over there). I do not have a history degree but everyone in Sweden is raised whit this from early age. / Rickard.
All produced by Björn & Benny from (AB)jörn(B)enny(A). They wrote, composed and scouted the artists for these the 2 musicals, and every other, of the 98 unique ABBA songs. This was a honoring & celebration to them. One of the 20-th Centuries most important musical engines. ABBA has achieved a wopping 48 hit singles!! They changed the (music)-world. I think that you will like this one! He is singing to Helene Sjöholm (She is sitting in front of him): "Newkid - Du måste finnas - Så mycket bättre (TV4)" .
All three, Du måste finnas, Guldet blev till sand and Anthem are from musicals written by Björn and Benny, Kristina från Duvemåla and Chess respectively.
Thank you for listening to Swedish music. All 3, are great singers. (Kristina from Duvemåla) Björn and Benny (ABBA) who wrote the songs. Hug from Sweden 🇸🇪
Tommy has had quite a few problems with his health for a couple of years, he had covid 19 and had to have heart surgery in 2020, and that operation affected his voice and signing but he’s almost back to full range again, at least as much one can get in older days.
Those three artists are the original artist from Abba Björn and Benny Musicals, The first one is a very old Tommy Körberg, Everybody is Still Alive not that old😅 the second artists this Helen Sjöholm and the third one is Peter Jöback. They are probably top 10 Musical artist in the world all of those free today Living
Tommy Körberg did the original lead in Chess in London. I was lucky to see the musical there around 1986. It's one of the best musicals, probably in my top-3 (with Les Miserables and Phantom..).
Tommy's song is called "Anthem", it's from the musical Chess from 1986. 🙂"Guldet blev till sand" means "THe gold turned into sand". I can't listen to either of the songs without tearing up ...
I'm not sure they realised that these songs would become the highlights of their careers. But what a marriage made in Heaven - others have tried singing these songs, but - like with anything else that ABBA did - nobody really does it better. Not even close! However, Josh Groban's rendition of Anthem may actually be better - but surely, Tommy is doing a great job.
She actually declined the role of Christina she didn't belived she could do it justice, Björn and Benny probably had her in mind before she was famus for the role, because she sings very belivable and truthfully in swedish, at last she accepted the role, and today noone understands how she ever doubted herself. Their might be a very few better swedish female singers but noone kand sing soo "naked" in swedish as she can.
Would be even better if the video performance was enlarged? ;) ...there is a good reason why Sweden is be biggest music producer worldwide after the USA and India...:)
Peter Jöback is Super well known here in Sweden, and I'm surprised he's not more well known outside of it as well. He's an amazing talent. I guess you could kinda call Peter Jöback the Michael Bublé of Sweden?
As a Swede I'm really touched that you get it. From s small language it's sometimes hard to reach other people with your unique expression, what you feel makes a difference in the world. Secondly: time brings so much depth to this. Maturity, memories. And soon they are gone., these composers these singers. Soon we are all gone. Life is best lived in moments. I live mine in Mexico, I'm a Swede married to a beautiful Mexican woman, I'm sitting in front of my altar listening to this, waiting for my candles to burn down, it's for a two months old Mexican warrior who was presented to the tree of life in a Sun dance today, he got all quite and serious when he heard the drums, so his mother says, life is amazing, we are all intertwined I loved your reaction.

ABBA started it, and then we took off. Today, the world's 2 biggest music production country in the world. Skål
Yes
Helene Sjöholm you can find this song in English from their performance in New York
Tommy sang Anthem from Chess. Hi from Stockholm, Sweden.
Tommy hade been sick a long time before this. Heart problems and covid. So he was a bit fraile. But he did it ❤ Not one dry eye in whole Sweden ❤
If you haven't heard this, you must :).
Tommy Körberg (prounance the K as ch, like church). and Dead by April sing "For every step". :)

ALL So well you said.

As a swede: Whatever Helen sings I cry!
Jag gråter med dig! 😄
I Mexiko, där jsg bor.

Another incredible performance of a 72 year old Swedish singer - at that moment - is En stund på jorden with now deceased Ola Magnell!
Tommy Körberg has been really sick and almost not did it but he won and is still going strong.
Those three artists are the original artist from Abba Björn and Benny Musicals,
The first one is a very old Tommy Körberg, Everybody is Still Alive not that old😅 the second artists this Helen Sjöholm and the third one is Peter Jöback. They are probably top 10 Musical artist in the world all of those free today Living

Have you seen teacher Pauls reaction to the main there's from the musical kristina? If not tskeca chance on it! It's gonna make your day!
Tommy's song is called "Anthem", it's from the musical Chess from 1986. 🙂"Guldet blev till sand" means "THe gold turned into sand". I can't listen to either of the songs without tearing up ...

I'm Swedish and so proud of our great singers. ❤🇸🇪
Ever heard of The Swedish singer Chris Kläffords version of "Imagien".? If not, do that.
She actually declined the role of Christina she didn't belived she could do it justice, Björn and Benny probably had her in mind before she was famus for the role, because she sings very belivable and truthfully in swedish, at last she accepted the role, and today noone understands how she ever doubted herself.
Their might be a very few better swedish female singers but noone kand sing soo "naked" in swedish as she can.
Do you know that the ABBA BOYS have than this ?
This was a part of a organised charity event during the beginning of the pandemic.
Would be even better if the video performance was enlarged? ;) ...there is a good reason why Sweden is be biggest music producer worldwide after the USA and India...:)
Tommys song calls Anthem. And Kristina is from Duvemåla.
I miss Anders Ekborg though, another wonderful singer too. Same level as these three.
the first song is called "Anthem" my favorite song of all songs that Tommy Körberg is singing.
You must se Helen Sjöholm sing Gabriellas sång from the movie så som i himmeln tjat is so powerfull
Listen to helen in englich
I think this was when he had been very ill. He almoust died.. thankfully he survived. I am going to a consert, his last tour, in august this summer.
