  • Bert Gustav Tommy Körberg is a Swedish singer, actor and musician. English-speaking audiences know him best for his role as Anatoly/"The Russian" in the musical Chess. He played the role on the 1984 concept album, and on stage in the 1986 world première West End production in London, as well as several times since.

    From the musical Chess by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulveus from ABBA. This song was written for Tommy Körberg.

    The song was written for him. And I mean that literally, not figuratively. It was created for him and his voice by Björn and Benny.

    9:18 _"Did he sing it in a Disney movie?"_ I'm not sure if he sings in the live movie, but he certainly sang "beauty and the beast" on stage with Celine Dion in the early 90s. There is a record of a performance on youtube, and it's a funny one! Celine makes the funniest faces when he turns it on!

    The song's original language is English. The musical Chess was first staged in London. As a Swede, I have never even heard the Swedish version, because the English version is the internationally known one and I can state that it is best in the original language. Tommy Körberg was the first to perform this role, but since the musical has been performed for so many years, other artists have followed.

    • @MaxSujyNorden

    Tommy Körberg is one of, if not the biggest, voice in Sweden, truly a national icon and treasure. Ever since he originated the role of Anatolij/The Russian on West End in the 80s, I don't think anyone has been able to do this song like he does (though many are very good). I loved the Swedish version of the musical as a child (I had it on dvd and CD) but Anthem is such an iconic song in English, it's impossible to pick which version I like most. You should check out his other big song "Stad i ljus" (City in light") which is a classic song that he won with at Melodifestivalen/Schlagerfestivalen (the Swedish outtake for Eurovision) in 1988.

    • @g83ster
      @g83ster 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Just make sure to get the record version or the live version from Melodifestivalen, not the Eurovision final, as he was suffering a throat infection during the recording of that.

    Check out "One Night in Bangkok" from Chess as well (as you are living in Thailand). A totally different hit song, which lyrics were quite controversic, Thailand even banned it! Top hit in many countries, nr 3 in Canada.

    Tommy Körberg did a duett with Celine Dion once. You should search for this video. 😂 Tommy doesnt showed her his fantastic voice under the soundcheck, so she wasnt prepared for what he did at the real show then.
    This video is really fun

  • @KillerQueen_87
    @KillerQueen_87 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The song is called Anthem in english and was written for Tommy Körberg but in english, because Chess was written in english to begin with, it was produced in London. The version you're watching is the Swedish version that they did in 2004,
    the original musical is from 1986 or something, but all of it is written by Björn and Benny from ABBA.

  • @DerekMckean
    @DerekMckean 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Unlike musicals which generally don't get any radio time, Chess released a concept album before officially staging it as a musical. It also produced several singles.
    Songs played on the radio include
    I know Him So Well
    Hevean Help My Heart
    One Night in Bangkok
    The Arbiter (music video)
    Pity The Child (music video)
    Nobody's Side
    Someone Else's Story might have also been played on the radio but wasnt originally on the concept album.

  • @g83ster
    @g83ster 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    For context, the discussion/songvthat precedes the song in the Swedish version takes place right after Anatoly has defected from the Soviet Union, leaving his life and family (including a wife and son) behind to be with Florence (Helens character). Florence's father was taken during the revolution in Hungary and knows what it is like to leave everything behind, hence the question "What do you feel?"

    If you want 1 top voice from Sweden. Check out Jussie Björling for instance the song O helga natt but actually any song would do.
    Pavarotti said about Jussi Björling "Don't compare me with Jussie, I'm just a human."

    when Benny and Björn (from Abba) made this musical they made this song for Tommy Körberg...and had his singing voice in mind when they created this song.

    Tommy Körberg is amazing, I love his cover of "Fattig Bonddräng" from Emil i Lönneberga, a series based on books written by one of Swedens most known authors; Astrid Lindgren. Higly recommend giving it a listen, though I'm not sure if there is a good translation to English.
    Another favorite of mine is "Eivør Pálsdóttir: Tròdlabùndin (Trøllabundin) - 10.08.13" It feels like it's from a magical world or story.

    The Musica Chess is written by Björn and Benny from ABBA and Tommy is the original Singer of the show. Sadly he has done time in jail and when the show went to america Tommy could not get a green card to get in to the States and they where forced to replace him.

    What could be better than the combination of the best vocals in the world and the best soundtracks in the world of cinema in a great show!?
    Please react to grandiose performance - Diana Ankudinova. Art of Hans Zimmer Soundtrack from the movie Dune
    Diana also performed the soundtrack from Bond 007 - No Time to Die
    Hans Zimmer - film score composer and music producer. He has won two Oscars and four Grammys, and has been nominated for three Emmys and a Tony. Zimmer was also named on the list of Top 100 Living Geniuses, published by The Daily Telegraph in 2007.
    His works are notable for integrating electronic music sounds with traditional orchestral arrangements. Since the 1980s, Zimmer has composed music for over 150 films. He has won two Academy Award for Best Original Score for The Lion King (1994), and Dune (2021). His works include Gladiator, The Last Samurai, the Pirates of the Caribbean series, The Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, Man of Steel, Interstellar, and No Time to Die (James Bond 007).

      On Diana’s life channel there are 2 versions of performances in Moscow and St. Petersburg, for Dune the St. Petersburg version is better, for James Bond the Moscow version is better.
      This is a fan recording, there shouldn’t be any problems with blocking or monetization.
      You can rest assured about copyright restrictions regarding content from Diana. Diana was and remains an independent artist without labels or producers from show business.

    Körberg is fantastic. On a whole other level than Groban imo. As a Swede I put him second to Björling, who on the other hand is Primo Tenore of course and not on the same play field as musical artist.But that just gives a hand at how good a singer Körberg really is,.

    Hahah I just heard your struggle to understand how his the spelling and pronunciation works together. In Sweden we have a lot of sch-sounds (as when you're hushing a kid). For example, the Swedish word for cheek is spelled "kind", where the K sounds like ch as in cheek or chin. Most of the time a K sounds lika a K, tho. Other examples of combined letters that makes some sort of sch-sound is sj/stj/ch/tj.
    The "Ö" is pronounced almost as the "i" in "bird".
