Benny Andersson - Klinga Mina Klockor CD - Import

 song Klinga Mina Klockor, treasure of treasures
I bought this CD in an attempt to get a good, legal recording of one piece: the chorus in Klinga Mina Klockor. I heard the chorus on U-tube. It is one of the most wonderful musical expressions of joy, purity and jubilee I've ever heard, and that's with Mozart and Handel in the running. I'm glad to have this recording but the chorus is embedded in a lengthy (ll.5 minute) instrumental piece which is not in the same class as the chorus. Also, the recording quality was not as good as I hoped, perhaps monoral. U-tube has several renditions which are as good or better --use keyword "Klinga Mina Klockor". If anyone knows of a high-quality, stereo recording of the chorus, kindly let me know. If none has been made, someone needs to do it. This piece could easily become a global classic for celebrating any joyous festival, or the solstices. A wonderful invitation to high love has come through Benny Andersson.

 Abba's Benny Goes Folk
If ever there was any doubt of the musical talent and versitility of Abba's Benny Andersson, this CD puts an end to it. This is Benny's tribute to his Swedish folk music heritage. The title track is a major music achievement, with Anni-Frid (his ex-Abba wife) in the 50+ women's chorus. An absolutely delightful album featuring Benny on piano accordian performing his own folkish compositions!
