Benny was always underappreciated as the piano player. He was a master musician

Aww Benny... Even though he is a grandpa now and never looked like a male model, you can see why he had no problems getting any woman he wanted when he was younger. Charm, talent, sense of humor - he's got it all. You can see what Frida meant when she said that ABBA wasn't the best thing that has ever happened to her, Benny was.

Lovely man Benny A. He comes across as humble, modest and very natural. In contrast, Bjorn U always comes across as sharp and prickly.

This man is an absolute genius. Not only ABBA but in addition his and Bjorn's collaborations on Chess and Kristina two of the best musical scores in music theatre in my opinion. Then his own band BAO where his favoured front singer Helen Sjoholm, who herself appeared in the two musicals, is probably the best music theatre actor in the business. Her renditions of Hemma ( Home ) and Du Maste Finnas ( You have to be there ) from Kristina are absolutely breathtaking. When one looks at what Sweden has brought to the world of entertainment it's such a pity that their contributions are often ignored by the insular American music scene who continue to cold shoulder foreign talent for their own ends. They are the losers I'm afraid and it's so encouraging to read comments by open minded Americans who recognize these masterful performers. Bennie's new album ''Piano'' is a must buy for those lazy nostalgic trips down memory lane on a Sunday afternoon. Incomparable is the only way to put it.

Saw a tear in Benny's eye when he said it would be nice to have all four in the studio singing just for fun.,, I have been an ABBA Fan since the Beginning when they came on American Radio, and Television. Great to watch all the old Videos of Tours around the world.. Benny and ABBA, THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC !!!

"Old Man, Playing Old Songs, on the New Piano" - works for me...!!! And absolute musical genius at work. Just pre-ordered the album on Amazon and got the 3 pre-release tracks to keep me going until release day on Friday... Just beautiful, timeless, music... A shame he didn't include the ABBA masterpiece of melancholy "The Winner Takes It All" which I think perfectly suits a piano solo... but maybe he is deliberately, teasingly, holding it back for "Piano vol 2"... I hope so... Thank you, Benny for the music, indeed...! I am so glad that I grew up when I did... ;-)

Lovely interview. But to answer the question about "What is left?" [when you strip away the production] the answer is quite succinct: Astonishingly beautiful *melody.* And that is the basis of everything you have achieved in your career. And *piano* is the best instrument to illustrate it. But Benny, upon being asked if you were looking forward to your cameo in Mamma Mia! 2, you say "No"? Your body language says something else (4:14)...

Why? They do NOT have to play live! Just make another great studio Album? To me The Visitors was probably their best!! (When they were pissed off and breaking up) Just my opinion! x
@anonymusum7 жыл бұрын
Well, you seem to be right but please consider that a new album could be a musical or commercial failure. So it would be quite risky and it could ruin their myth up to a point. I wouldn´t recommend it.
@ferraridinoman7 жыл бұрын
Yep, Fair comment, Funny enough, I thought "The Visitors" 1981 (Really their last album) was their best work!
@omnipop49366 жыл бұрын
ferraridinoman Well, if they never do record another album together, I can tell you one thing - it's not for lack of musical material. I saw (or read) an interview about 10-15 years ago - I think it was with Bjorn - in which he was asked whether he and Benny had any music sitting around (from the last 25 years of post-ABBA writing) that would be _perfect_ for ABBA. He instantly replied, "Oh, _yes."_ So, we know they've got tunes. :)

Well, there are possibilities in this... For instance they could actually sing live, remotely, lets say ONE song, one special song, in the concerts. And do this without showing themselves, perhaps while an overwhelming visual art is being co-created simultaneously from different parts of the planet (by several artists) and being displayed specially at the concert. The actual synchronic event would place the meaning and real connection for the ones attending and the group. This is just an example, there could be plenty of variations, what underlies here is the delicate threading of intention and meaning, by people who has lived a trail of art and finds a way to newly inter-art, while respecting each own desires.

ABBA was a wonderful group . The musicians first rate . I will enjoy ABBA’s music as long as I live but wanting any kind of reunion is just plain nonsense. If John Lennon and George Harrison we’re still alive I would rather not see some 75 + year olds up there on stage . They accomplished what they did and are a big part of music history and will be forever, same with ABBA . Peace

I don´t understand why the Agnetha´s clear and beautiful voice has been lost so much! Only to continue singing at home and exercising every so often would be enough. However,it sounded completely out of shape and very out tune and trembling. Please!! don´t stop singing Agnetha!! Sing again and recover your beautiful voice!!

Liliana Maria Lobo Correa Frida and Agnetha sang together recently and Agnetha sounded terrible, sadly... however that might just be nerves because she’s notoriously fearful on stage... Frida was always the stronger live performer.
