I don't understand people who say Abba was just a pop band, who made trivial music. This performance, by this supremely talented lady shows that Abba were much more than that. They wrote some magical music, with superb melodies & incisive lyrics. They are one of the great musical partnerships in music.
Anyone who says they were just a pop band clearly never tried to recreate there songs there use of phrasing and chords and progressions are very very good . This is my opinion as a guitar player
I tool lessons for more than 7 years when I was yong at the conservatory, then I stopped for 6 years, but When I get back to playing and practice I was happy that I did not lose that much, and now I continue playing..you know it's only fear inside us...that's it...go a head
I'm travelling on a fast train in Italy and watching the world go by me and I'm listening to this. It's a pretty powerful sensation I assure you. Sort of shakes my very foundations. Greetings from Italy.
Italy is a country I adore ! Worked in Rome in 1980 and went to school at night for the language with my wife , I enjoyed every moment of my 6 moth tenure in Rome !
ulrika is a beautiful woman.like most swedish women are. i should know i'm married to a beautiful swede and live in uppsala sweden. great piano playing there ulrika
You should have thanked her lover or husband.Women are known for not being able to make money,just spend it. So, cherchez l'homme!(French) Search for THE man!!!
The gift has a recipe: Practice several hours per day, for ages. LISTEN carefully to what you are playing. Follow this simple recipe for a number of years Arthur, and I promise you that you would also be able to pull this off (more or less). Tusen tack Ulrik A. Rosén, skön tolkning. Din frasering appellerar till mig!
Sitting there playing like that, you remind me of my piano teacher when I was 11 years old. She taught me on the second floor of a very old mansion in the residential district of our city; and even though 56 years have passed since then, I can still remember walking up the brick path to the house, which in a few of my memories, was covered with autumn leaves, or sometimes with snow. As I entered up the front staircase to the porch, then through the large double doors & into the expansive foyer, then up the long curved staircase to the second floor, I became aware of the faint sounds of the practicing students, which grew louder as I climbed the staircase. As I reached the top, and inside each room I would then pass, I could clearly hear the other instructors & their students . . . some practicing on an instrument and some diligently exercising their vocals, as they went up & down the scales. My lessons there with my teacher would eventually lead to progressively more difficult arrangements & recitals, but I was too young to realize at the time how fortunate I was, and that I was actually being immersed into culture & art, if only for the two years I kept at it. Looking back, it was almost like walking into the opening scenes of the show "Fame" every week.
This kind of thing is the real beauty of TH-cam, it allows people like me to discover truly fantastic artists like this lady, well done and thankyou for the music (no pun intended)
Yes. Piano is the king because there is so much more depth of music available on the keyboard, as opposed the guitar, which makes it even more remarkable when a talented artist like Gabriella comes along, and is able to release incredible acoustical harmony from her guitar. Ulrika & Gabriella should consider recording a duet together.
this made me cry... i love this song... all of abba... i’m learning piano myself and this was beautiful to listen to. very talented sophisticated lady... done abba proud !!!
beautifully done. Thank you. Abba was amazing and living in the US I'm sad that I didn't get to see them perform live. This has always been my favorite song from the band.
This 35-song playlist of Abba songs is one of the best I have ever heard. Benny Andersson's compositions are genius, among the great of all time. And I love piano music. Hearing these songs without lyrics and sophisticated production, brings out their raw quality.
I'm 50 years old and I grew up with the songs of ABBA, the Beegeez, BonyM and other great artists of the seventies. By now I have heard thousands of songs, but this song is something different. When I was still young someone told me that he cries every time he hears this song. At that time I did not understand. But now I do
ABBA 'I thank you for the music''' and Ulrika for playing in ditto, brilliant. U r taking us to our childhood days, this sound of piano is making my head sway, close my eyes....wonderful..
I don't want to talk About the things we've gone through Though it's hurting me Now it's history I've played all my cards And that's what you've done too Nothing more to say No more ace to play The winner takes it all The loser standing small Beside the victory That's her destiny I was in your arms Thinking I belonged there I figured it made sense Building me a fence Building me a home Thinking I'd be strong there But I was a fool Playing by the rules The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear The winner takes it all The loser has to fall It's simple and it's plain Why should I complain But tell me does she kiss Like I used to kiss you? Does it feel the same When she calls your name? Somewhere deep inside You must know I love ABBA. Thank u !
The winner takes it all is the biggest and shiniest brilliant in a crown called ABBA. And this is a totally new dimension of that masterpiece. Thank you, Ulrika!
I’ve always loved ABBA - I actually watched them when they won the Eurovision contest and they weren’t famous yet. But Ms Ulrika your piano rendition is truly magical. It’s beautiful! And you are very talented. I’m inspired by your playing. Thank you for the music ;-)
Frau Rosén. Wunderbare Interpretation eines Meisterwerks zeitgenössischer Musik. Alle Mitglieder der ABBA-Gruppe würden Ihnen gratulieren, wenn sie dieses Video gesehen haben.
...her recitals appear gentle and delicate, ‘different’ somehow - a new experience which is growing on one, and has become extraordinairily pleasing and fullfilling. Complimént!
What makes this song great is the brilliant long melody lines, nice chord progressions, the main theme consists of slow triplets, the fact that the verse lines fit exactly between the main theme, and simplicity. Most modern pop music is way too simple, sometimes I try to analyse some flat pop songs with my children in the hope they also try to find what makes songs great. It's often a combination of interesting (long) melody lines, some not-too-standard-chord progressions, some rythmic patterns / accents, a breaks and buildups, catchy lyrics, a touch of musical virtuosity, and rich sound quality. I think / hope song writing art (like abba and the beatles did) will be appreciated more in future, (much like Bach's art was recognised later).
How emotional this song can be❤️ I grew up with this song, it reminds me of beautiful and emotional things... I love you because you exist and make my days happier❤️
Never mind the beautiful jewellery or the song or the great piano playing, its the beautiful YOU thats adds the essence of life to this video. There was never a time that you did not exist, & there will never be a time when you wont.
Wonderful rendition , thanks for this madam. And thank you ABBA for the music.........your music and legacy will still be remembered many years after most of today's rubbish is long forgotten. Talent such as ABBA's comes but once in a lifetime............if you are lucky
Who Knows, knows. You make me breathe the fresh air and fly so high when I look down I only see the sky. You are blessed. Thank you for you beautiful ballads!
The room where you are playing the piano seems like. . . The line between the old and the new. . . In a sense , it is the time of the early 1800s. Candles. . Furniture. .and it matches well with Your playing the piano. How sweet your play is! As I get old, material things are no longer important. I can bring none of them when dying. Only memories of being happy moments. can I bring to the heaven! Thanks for giving me a good memory.
I just listened to Gabriella Quevedo play this song on guitar, Which led me to seek other renditions and I found you. Very beautiful and elegant. So peaceful listening to you play. Very nice and a warm smile at the end to boot. Excellent.
Such a soul crushing melody. Bjorn and Benny really are masters of the craft.
Yes they are, but I think that Agnetha's voice made more successful this song.
I don't understand people who say Abba was just a pop band, who made trivial music. This performance, by this supremely talented lady shows that Abba were much more than that. They wrote
some magical music, with superb melodies & incisive lyrics. They are one of the great musical partnerships in music.
Agreed.
I can't agree more. Their music is out of this planet! I beleive Benny and Bjorn are Geniuses!
@@akri29 yep.
Anyone who says they were just a pop band clearly never tried to recreate there songs there use of phrasing and chords and progressions are very very good . This is my opinion as a guitar player
It’s a great song.
I'm 65, and this song will always be a CLASSIC, and you do it great justice. Thank you for the music!
This is the language we all understand - better than English, Spanish or whatever. This is what real art has meant to be. Thank you for sharing!
just the first words... i don't wanna talk!
Beautifully said
Art is great!!!
Девушка просто класс. Обожаю фортопьяно. И КАК она играет.
Very true, well said.
Beautiful lady, beautiful piano, beautiful playing. Thank you.
De gustibus non est disputandum
No words can describe how beautifully you played this masterpiece👏
Somebody who clearly knows what they’re doing with a piano. Beautiful and perfect. I don’t think this could be any better. 👌🏻
And a do think
And I do think
“Absolutely beautiful version of Abba The Winner Takes it all”
Listening to you playing makes me wish I had continued to take my piano lessons. It's something I've always regretted.
It's never too late to try again.
@TH-cam Manthan B235PW
It's never too late 💜
what are waiting for? The more you wait the more you'll regret never playing

That was played beautifully. One of the best versions I’ve heard of that song!
Wonderful piano cover! Like👍.
Thank you very much! 💗
Have a great day! 🌅
When I want to relax I am loving the music the Mrs. Urika A. Rosén played all the times. She is bringing calm for my self.
Your playing is BEAUTIFUL! Hearing this brilliant tune isolated like this (and Chiquitita) shows the amazing musical talent within ABBA!
This is incredibly emotional even
without Agnetha’s stunning performance.
Incredible music.
Her Grace and her skill makes the piano really singing.
Unbelievable charm, a woman at the piano who lights up your soul and warms your heart... Abba forever!
I love your sophisticated look, the beautiful jewellry, the nice background. Thank you for being an amazing lady.
Yes a nice change from all the other cover artists on TH-cam
Arc Kocsog she is just perfect lady and pianist!!!
High-class Music deserves nothing less than equal Class during performance
ulrika is a beautiful woman.like most swedish women are.

You should have thanked her lover or husband.Women are known for not being able to make money,just spend it.

I cry watching this video. You have a gift!!! You're blessed. God bless your life and your music.

Beautifully played ulrika..played from your heart.
The best reason to be happy. A first class lady playing a wonderful musical piece in a charming room. Life is so short.
I play guitar but have to admit that the piano is the King of Instruments and this is a superb performance by this talented artist.
Yes. Piano is the king because there is so much more depth of music available on the keyboard, as opposed the guitar, which makes it even more remarkable when a talented artist like Gabriella comes along, and is able to release incredible acoustical harmony from her guitar.

Merci ! Superbe mélodie jouée avec tellement de sensibilité 🙏🙏
Wonderful! ABBA is my childhood and teenage years. So happy to feel the happiness again ❤️
Спасибо Вам за такое душевное исполнение. Прекрасная музыка на все времена.
Прекрасная музыка, замечательное исполнение, можно слушать вечно! Огромное спасибо!
La mejor versión,no puedo dejar de escucharla❤
Браво!Спасибо за прекрасное исполнение!
Beatiful performance, elegance, talent, thank you so much. Congratulations Sweden !!.
Beautiful, crisp... and very elegant. The smile at the end is pure gold dust.
Watch an elegant lady playing a well known melody. That’s how you can relieve all stress the most.
Beautifully played with visual elegance!
What a wonderful rendition, played with true heart and feeling. It just goes to show what a phenomenal songwriting partnership Bjorn and Benny was.
Благодарю!!!
Волшебные, чудо мелодии!..

I don't want to talk
About the things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny
I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain
But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know
I love ABBA. Thank u !
Mis respetos señora 😍 toca el piano muy hermoso y con una canción que marco una época muy especial... Buena interpretación 😊
The winner takes it all is the biggest and shiniest brilliant in a crown called ABBA. And this is a totally new dimension of that masterpiece. Thank you, Ulrika!

So beautiful. I felt like i was sitting in your living room listening to your beautiful play. Thank you so much.
It's the magic of Ulrika akin to having a secret Hideaway where the world cannot intrude, a private space although shared is still is still very real.
