Benny Andersson - Anthem (Radio 2's Piano Room)

Benny Andersson of ABBA performs 'Anthem' from the musical 'Chess' for Ken Bruce in the Radio 2 Piano Room

[@williamdrijver4141]

Benny Andersson is one of the Masters. Humble, kind, plus awe-inspring talent and craftsmanship.

[@groteabbafan]

A masterpiece from the master himself

[@synchronicityman9062]

Sublime. This man is a genius, and his place is assured in the very highest echelons of 20th Century composers.

[@CindyRizzato]

I could listen to Benny play the piano for hours and hours.... Thank you for the music Benny!

Thank you BBC Radio 2 for this upload. Benny's genius is always a special treat.

[@andreavo6546]

Anthem always sends goosebumps down my spine. I love it soooo much, and most sung by Tommy Körberg.

An elegant rendition of one the best songs from Chess, a very underrated musical

[@adert444]

[@andreabrothers6055]

Absolutely beautiful piece of music....the whole album “Piano” is a masterpiece of musical creativity. Worth getting the Deluxe version for the two extra tracks, one of which is Mamma Mia...

[@paqui1018]

Listen Benny Andersson's play bring me so much peace... Idk why but, the way he plays is so... Aaawwww 😍🥰 A MASTER!! 🥰🥰

A beautiful track from a gorgeous album.

WHAT A GOLDEN HEART IS PLAYING NOW. SOMEONE IS SO GRATEFUL.

[@andreavo6546]

I'd cry tears out of luck, if I could some day hug Benny for his greatness. And I love this masterpiece since the album CHESS, which I own since the concept album came out! 1985? Tommy Körberg stayed my favourite singer, too. I adore him!

Thank you Benny. I feel like ABBA are my brothers and sisters, such is the illusion of media. But let me say, thank you brother, and I mean it.

[@ralphhendriks1460]

Such a treat! As is the whole album 'Piano'.

[@SaveDurban]

Piano, The Master of all Instruments, in my opinion.

[@joeschmoe3665]

Stacy Grundy probably true the guitar is versatile in its own way but can’t think of any other instrument better at composing melodic structures

tom kent It’s nice, but it’s nowhere near as good as the piano he has his studio.

[@dylanwho209]

@@Taevas___I believe that ones a Fazioli.

[@sabyegrp]

I wonder if there is an album or CD of Benny on the piano. Nothing else just Benny and his keyboard. I could listen to that every night.

[@Mario-xr3jo]

Yes there is. Its title is "Piano". It was released in 2017.

[@JUANCARLOSCARUSO]

Benny i love you

[@lovelyone3243]

he´s got Bach in his fingers...

[@catanlorca]

You are so right....

[@cirilloz]

i know!! I was thinking that all the time, I''m glad someone else recognizes the voicing in the music. His rendition of ''Chess'' is amazing.

[@Mario-xr3jo]

Bach has always been a big inspiration for Benny, as well as other great composers.

The Yamaha doesn't sound nearly as good as his *Fazioli* - which he used in the recordings. This Yamaha sounds almost 'tinny' in comparison to his piano. Played like a master though - which he is.

[@amycrunch3812]

He can do well what he wants to do, as he says himself.

[@JK-gp3up]

Wonderful and a pity to know that it was!

[@TotaltLivsnekad]

My mother has told me Benny can't read notes, which makes this even greater.

[@lovelyone3243]

I don't think so ! Reading music is not a big secret, even you didnt grew up in a classical way somewhen you learn it.

[@Nahojism]

I call bs on that. No offense to your mother at all.

[@thehoogard]

No he's said it in interviews. He doesn't read or write "notes". Might have changed though.

[@bagheera79]

He can’t read or write notes, that is not bullshit.

[@duett445]

Totalt Livsnekad if he cannot read music how can he compose music - other than in his head _ he must hav a way of putting down on a paper o others can play it.

Beautiful Song - awesome composer! The high compression is unnecessary for a Solo Performance and destroys the sound.

[@rawstarmusic]

Oh, so fantastic song ! A wonder Made by Man! More specifically made by a Swedish composer as a Swedish anthem. 💯💪🍀🌷🌷
