Chess is a Masterpiece.
So underrated. So fabulous - even in 2020. I love it!
These two have yet to be beaten. Great performances.
Simply Beautiful, no one could compare to this rendition !
This man can sing! Such power!
Fantastic...Tommy Korberg is just a legend!
Absolutely fantastic! why is it that my heart bounces round in my chest on those last three notes,it just never fails.I seen a production of this on the Isle of Man when my mate Nick appeared in it and it brought some great Memories back of those times.
He has it all. A marvellous voice. And he is also very handsome!
This was not in sweden but in Copenhagen Denmark. I was there and it was amazing ❤️
When was it?
***** Wow! This is simply MAGNIFICENT! *****
Also, imagine having to sing this EIGHT times a week!!!
Superbly talented singers and a masterpiece of a show.
Fabulous! Tommy and EP sound so wonderful together! 2 great, strong voices! Love it, Seb!
Excellent! I just discovered this clip. Elaine looks great here, too. But....I like her look better in the 40 years on stage celebration. What talent! Wow! She never fails to impress people. Elaine is so talented and such a treasure!
Magnifico!!
"I know him so well" is so much ABBA. Not in a bad way, it just shows where Björn and Benny actually come from.
I've read somewhere that B & B originally wrote it as an Abba song, but then the band split up, and they used it for Chess instead
Not actually. The chorus segment of "I Know Him So Well" was taken from the 1977 ABBA song "I Am An A" in their Australian concert and developed as "Free As Bumble Bee". That song didn't work.
English lyrics
Anatoly:
Knowing I want you
Knowing I love you
I can't explain
Why I remain
careless about you
Florence:
I've been a fool to allow
Dreams to become
Great expectations
Anatoly:
How can I love you so much
Yet make no move?
Both:
I pray the days and nights
In their endless weary procession
Soon overwhelm my sad obsession
You and I we've seen it all
Chasing our hearts' desire
But we go on pretending
Stories like ours
Have happy endings
Anatoly:
You could not give me
More than you gave me
Why should there be
Something in me
Still discontented
Florence:
I won't look back anymore
And if I do-just for a moment
Anatoly:
I'd soon be happy to say
I knew her well
Both:
But if you hear today
I'm no longer
Quite so devoted to this affair
I've been misquoted
You and I
We've seen it all
Chasing our hearts' desire
But we go on pretending
Stories like ours
Have happy endings

good one ,...Sep thank you
I like her singing better in now, better than back then. This is good, but her voice has so much more character now.
While this is just great ....I prefer the Helen Sjoholm version. Seems more emotional power to me.
