It is when you get orchestral covers of songs like this that you can appreciate the brilliance in the song writing of the original songs.

[@chlobosumm4]

Is this a good thing?…

[@robinchoudhury2092]

Not to even mention the brilliant lyrics! Wonder what a choir would sound like singing this?!!!

[@wistralis7387]

the fact that these songs have transformed into orchestral compositions is a testament to their quality

[@MrZaricnak]

And not all songs shine in that manner. But these damn do!

[@Romygosling]

The transition of 'Take a Chance on Me' to 'Thank You for the Music' is PHENOMENAL

[@user-ir5so5qt8f]

It is absolutely amazing!

[@ashleyy6329]

of course this is the type of stuff i only find at 2am lmao

[@frogwiththeperson]

On the way home from school I was imagining what it would be like if abba was played by a whole orchestra. I am not disappointed.

[@AestheticLifeFilm]

This makes me so emotional, my grandfather who passed away would always play ABBA music and take me to see the musical🥺 He was obsessed and now I'm obsessed, I wish I could tell him that.

[@daquintero]

This playlist reminds me of my childhood... I love ABBA since I was a child. Makes me remember my loving grandmother and uncles and my beloved mom... ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@gathsfamily2866]

I took this on an overnight flight ........... It was good for eight hours !!!

[@Beau74]

This is by far the best orchestral interpretation of popular music that I have ever heard. Just wonderful. My favorite part is 10:35 where the notes just soar into brilliance.

[@frogwiththeperson]

I aggreeeee

[@lennilenni6889]

Yesssss..

[@khoking]

Yes Yes Yes

[@nelsonsanchez6554]

Sublime, wonderful, suddenly the adjectives are exhausted, suddenly the words are finished. Thank you.

[@Doc_Filth]

"Money, Money, Money" becomes properly majestic here.

[@donaldgoodinson7550]

Made me somewhat sad.Brought back my golden years.

[@haydeemahinay8546]

ABBA....Great composers...Great singers....

[@babajega]

Wow, "money money money" is a masterpiece

[@tinasudingaayat]

Perfect, so pure, and it is simply awesome! I hope I will have the honour to watch them in person one day.

[@monk880]

ABBA has no bad albums. ABBA has no bad songs. No other band on earth has such straight record and that’s why symphony orchestras will be playing their music like the old world’s classics.

[@lovelyone3243]

Would love to see the orchestra while playing.. so great ! And a very big compliment to the composers .Love it !

[@juanaldamajr5038]

Superb!! A masterpiece!!

[@lunnouxhinds8464]

I've never heard this before. This is great. A fantastic tribute to a fantastic band. Love it.

[@OperaJH]

Just shows the genius of Benny Andersson! Bravo Benny! Bravi RHP! Fabulous music affords fabulous arrangements. Benny always composed with a leaning towards classical music. Love this!!! Thank you for the music!!!!

[@summerrosesutton3073]

I love ABBA, and I have always felt that good music can be made even better when played by a large, excellent Orchestra.

[@EduardoRamirez]

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra playing ABBA... Nothing cooler than that!

[@wesleyhill4922]

I agree Eduardo...I like different renditions of music that I love! Diversity makes the world go around!

[@Kolyamatic]

Although I am an atheist, if there is a heaven, I think this would be what it'd sound like. Absolutely fantastic.

[@wesleyhill4922]

As am I, Kolya, and I couldn't agree more with your comment!

[@sameersheikh5301]

!نعم

[@gorgeous6737]

Just founded...it is on my playlist, M U S I C at last!.

[@abnormallyfunny]

Please bring this back! Trafalgar Square or Hyde Park? It's what the world need right now!

[@BroccoliBeefed]

How cool is this? Even classical musicians love ABBA. They did a bomb azz job

[@antoutreras6044]

definitely the soundtrack for my wedding

[@benferrer2008]

Beautiful music creations for the appreciation of the whole world, now and for the future. A gift to mankind.

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

until judgement day. Then all is lost and worthless.

[@marafonseca8958]

This is not just an ABBA legacy, but also a family's heritage, for me. Hearing this masterpiece since I was 2, it gives me chills now, that I am 27. It remembers all of my childhood, singing the songs with my eldest sister, while our parents were out, to work in the fields. Me and my sister had so many dreams, expecting to change de world. That part in 40:51 till 45:37 always makes me cry. It is a true heritage for me, because me and my sister we had a dream. :-)

[@pewpews2146]

This has all the vibes of Bridgerton

[@zuzannawisniewska4464]

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra playing ABBA ....nothing more fun than that! 🤩❤

[@fiamad]

i can't stop listening to the "knowing me, knowing you" one

[@merakli07]

Gave me goosebumps as soon as Mamma Mia started playing....

[@lukesmith601]

Thank you to the producers and the orchestra for creating this wonderful piece!

[@garryharriman7349]

Abba tracks, like those of the Beatles and Queen, (also covered by the best Philharmonic orchestra in the world) transfer effortlessly to classical....no surprise really when you know how technologically composed their songs, chords and melodies were. This compilation is just first class entettnament indeed!

[@eiquinlan170]

U CANT MENTION QUEEN AND THE BEATLES IN THE SAME BREATH AS THE SUPER SWEDS

[@Sublette217]

And, like The Beatles, ABBA is completely self-contained.

[@user-nh8ot2ub6i]

I had no idea ABBA was this good until recently. My daughter performed in Mamma Mia and wow, do I get it now. Queen is my favorite band of all time and I can absolutely see similar pop perfection in ABBA's music. Talk about earworms. Hooks on top of hooks. That is not easy to do, as tens of thousands of other artists would tell you.

[@waridinyakfie7044]

I feel like I've arrived at a galaxy that only few mortal s know exists !!!! I'm in heaven ......

[@Valleycries]

“Money Money Money” is so good, it gives me chills every time I hear it!

[@Michelangelo0003]

Wow! Never heard Abba like this before.

[@shindousan]

If you know what songs are referenced by the overtures before Money, Money, Money and I Have a Dream, please tell me and I'll update the list.

[@lukesmith601]

Fernando Trebien legend! Thanks

[@kawainess]

Thanks

[@SteverenoOFFICIAL]

The Overture before Money Money Money sounds like it could be a variation on You Owe Me One, but that would be a deep cut to be referencing. It could also be inspired by the elaborate intros that Benny would play on a number of the live recordings for MMM.

[@ralphdimagiba2879]

Is there fragments of Dream World on Does Your Mothet Know? Sounds like a mash up to me?

[@usmale4915]

This is absolutely wonderful. And recorded in glorious "STEREO" makes it all the more fantastic. ABBA is my favorite group of all time. Thank you so very much for the beautiful instrumental upload, just great!

[@ritaangelachieffo9373]

meravigliosa orchestra, meravigliosi gli abba, un tributo doveroso a un gruppo musicale che ha cantato la gioia di vivere

[@arielrupp1091]

[@Anastasia-wo1tz]

[@wasupdoc1738]

This is one of the times I wished I could actually see them playing these ABBA pieces, they must have had so much fun.

[@hughlingard]

Los recuerdos del porvenir. Abba por siempre.

[@rayjansons8033]

Certainly gives a "unique" take and perspective in terms of music. "Abba" a favourite pop group since childhood in my life! Awe4some!

[@brookegreenlee]

I found these songs because I accidentally found them on vinyl in our collection, truly amazing as vinyl as well ❤

[@csm5040]

[@carmeniglesias959]

I love u

[@AntoBruno]

Lovely Music!! Thank You God for blessing us with such great Art and Artists over the time!!

[@Basch3000]

Why thank an imaginary figure, while you can thank the actual artists, like the Philharmonic Orchestra and Abba?

[@jb2wheeler]

My ex-son-in-law is a great kid, but he is missing out on this and other wonderful music because he is deaf. Nelo, where ever you are, I miss you. JB2wheeler

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

They are not singing about Jesus Christ dying on a cross to save us from our sins. So the music will be nothing and useless on the day of judgement. This music has nothing to do with salvation or eternity. It will all be about Jesus Christ. No one or nothing else. We all deserve hell.

[@sethcarlow8363]

Subscribed and liked. I loved the movie and the play Mama Mia. Have not seen Mama Mia two here we go again and i have to see it.

[@beltransalasgarcia6005]

The first one is way better

[@Urfinchannel]

@@beltransalasgarcia6005 funny,but not better,my love my live brings everyone to tears,I’ve never had that moment in part one

[@beltransalasgarcia6005]

I admit that my love my life is the best scene in the whole franchise

[@advertise3606YT]

The funny animation leads me to here years ago...still cannot stop loving the music.

[@lenapetraa9167]

Oh my goodness, this sounds so cool!!! Was listening to carols, suddenly somehow the next recommended video was this, no clue why but... LOVE IT AND CANNOT PLAY IT LOUD ENOUGH

[@vioreltoma10]

so I say thank you, for the music!!!

[@sachaobregon9524]

the music of abba royal philharmonic orchestra

[@Pouffecal]

Quel merveilleux moyen de faire accéder à la musique classique des gens qui la connaissent mal, et quel hommage rendu à ABBA!

[@Emily-rv4ue]

the arrangement of Does Your Mother Know goes so hard wowwww

[@kartoffsun]

What more could a pop/classical enthusiast like me want :D

[@terencebarrett2897]

absolutely fantastic if only all the troubled religious /or violant troubled souls could listen to beutifull music what a wonderfull world we all could live in be it any kind of religion colour or creed .instead of being brainwashed and seeing or hearing evil propaganda from our governments and leaders/ thanks royal philharmonic and you tube such a pleasure thanks

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

what does beautiful music have to do with religion or salvation or eternity? I love abba music from the beginning... but it has nothing to do with life or bringing people together or Salvation or eternity.

[@eddyfast3999]

terence barrett true words!!!!

[@Urfinchannel]

@@JohnSmith-uy7sv yes it has ,sorry

[@grahamcoo]

I honestly think the music of ABBA could bring about world peace. All we need to do is step back listen to the lyrics and embrace the music

[@sophiah4127]

Pure MAGIC!!!!

[@DannesCanencia]

Simply Excellent! love this! ♥

[@harrybosch6597]

Un esecuzione splendida la royal philarmonic orchestra esegue i brani degli abba

[@coolinghook2454]

Beautiful

[@albertstrickland2689]

I love, I adore, ABBA.... they are just as great as the BEATLES or BEE GEE's or ROLLING STONES or perhaps even greater... The rumor went around back in the 1970's when they were such a sensation that they didn't exist it was a just mix of a couple of singers. I believe that real music ended in the 1980's what we have here people is just noise... like the Grinch says noise, noise,noise !!!

[@danielademaio3829]

So true

[@carharinavandergeld7102]

[@ragj0727]

El grupo ABBA dejó un legado musical para la eternidad. Es un placer escuchar estas versiones con orquesta. Recomendable al 100 % o más...

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

Eternity will not be about any of us. It will all be about Jesus Christ who died on a cross to save us from our sin's. "for by God's grace we are saved through faith, not by work's, ( or singing or making people happy or being a veteran or a fire fighter or law enforcement or being a soul singer or never killing anyone) it is the free gift of God, not that anyone can boast of their salvation." "there is none that is righteous, no not one." "for the wages of sin is death, (we all die, therefore we are all sinners deserving of hell) but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our LORD."

[@cristinasanchezruiz1408]
