Karin is amazing, you should listen to Just Like That & Another You Another Me both written & Produced by Benny & Bjorn sung by Gemini who were Karin & Anders Glenmark.
Karin & Anders Glenmark comes from a musicfamily. The siblings had a band called Gemini. They sang Mio my Mio, the titlesong from the movie with the same name based on one of Astrid Lindgrens books. Astrid wrote all the Pippi Longstocking books.
Like one other said you dont hear a hard K it's pronouced like as a tje-sound like cherry so; chörberg!! Love your reactions on our swedish great singers!!❤
Hi, Just in case you're going to have to pronounce tommy Körberg's last name again. It's supposed to be a toning "ch" sound. Like in check or kitchen. You're doing great with your Swedish, though. We know it's a weird language and difficult to learn as an adult. With a working knowledge of English you can get by well basically everywhere in the country. Even with my mother, 86. She doesn't want to speak English because she's embarrassed that she has a thick Swedish accent. Go figure. If you are going to do more of the Chess musical, you can find the full performance in concert form under the name Checkers, with a young Josh Groban singing Anatolij, Körbergs part here. If you do that you can get the whole story. There is also a beast of a performance by Adam Pascal, singing Freddie Trumper. The song "Pity The Child" is reportedly one of the hardest songs in all of musical theater, nick named Pity The Singer, and he absolutely kills it. I don't know what your native language is, but if it's Polish, Ukrainian, Surzhyk or Russian, I have a friend that can help me help you out should you want it. From what little I heard you speak with your brother I couldn't figure out what language it was. Sorry.

The song "Pity The Child" is reportedly one of the hardest songs in all of musical theater, nick named Pity The Singer, and he absolutely kills it. Okay, I just got into the video proper. She picks up in three beats (Amazing!!!), and after a confused other couple of beats Tommy gets on with it and sings the rest of it to her, in character. And no I don't think so. Swedish people are great team players, but rather shy in self promotion. Especially back then. I myself have done almost the same thing but not on a national stage, of course. I was working with a very small opera company in New York, in the 2010's, and I came to a performance as an audience member. I'm not American and have never resided there either, so I was doing it for my joy. My DH was back home in Sweden, I was off that day, but our director/conductor/accompanist asked if I would like to come, and maybe get something to eat on the way back. Don't go there he's married and so am I. It was a two parter performance, and just before it started the page turner had called in saying she was late,.So our director asked me if I would turn for him. Of course i said yes. You learn a lot turning. It can make wonders for your sight singing (mine still suck though). She made it to the second part, which happened to be the opera I was there singing too. It was a two cast kind of arrangement. Sitting in the audience I noticed that there was a chorus part missing, so I snuck back there on stage, just enough to be heard, and filled in the missing bit mostly out of sight, and then snuck back into the audience. I kept that going for the rest of the performance and sat applauding in the audience after the show. I'm not alone in doing things this way among the Swedish. Team Players. I remember that Karin's name was instantly know the next day despite being one of the recording duo Gemini with her brother Anders Glenmark too. He's the backup singer standing next to her, stage right. I seem to remember that it was headline news the next day. We had at least four newspapers, and an evening edition at our house growing up. because my father was a journalist, reporter and editor at the time. Also. After butchering the name Svetlana, you have to come up with a good explanation as to how your native language would be one of the ones I mentioned above, lol. I'll get out of your hair now. Yours, Ann

Endgame is an incredibly complex song, but the concerts, with the full orchestras and choirs, really take it to another level.
Karin and her brother Anders, had a band in the 80's. Gemini.
(Chess ABBA musical)🇸🇪
Karin & Anders Glenmark comes from a musicfamily. The siblings had a band called Gemini. They sang Mio my Mio, the titlesong from the movie with the same name based on one of Astrid Lindgrens books. Astrid wrote all the Pippi Longstocking books.
And Glenmark's basement studio (in their villa) was used by ABBA in the 1970s, along with Metronome studios and others (before Polar studios).
Her brother Anders is standing on her right side.
Music by Björn and Benny (Abba)
