Piano Versions Of Music From ABBA, Chess & More!

Universal Music Group (UMG), the world leader in music-based entertainment, announces an album of solo piano music from legendary Swedish composer and ABBA co-founder Benny Andersson. The album titled simply 'Piano' is released through the iconic classical music label Deutsche Grammophon.

'Piano' takes listeners on a 21-track journey through his acclaimed and celebrated career as songs from ABBA, his musicals and other solo-compositions are re-interpreted as you have never heard them before, performed unaccompanied by just Benny himself, on his trusted grand piano. The album was recorded with Linn Fijal, engineer and studio manager at his own RMV Studios, on the island of Skeppsholmen, in the heart of his hometown Stockholm.

The tracks are tender, touching and emotional arrangements, highlighting the theatrical, as well as classical-like qualities, both in writing and performance of music that has touched millions around the world since ABBA first came together in 1972. The music on this album reinforces Benny's profound gift for melody, a gift shared with many great classical composer-pianists throughout history, that have also inspired him throughout his life and career.
