@@JimmyOlsson I know all of them. Well written. I agree with all and I know that you wrote "of his generation". I was thinking maybe you had Jussi in mind when you wrote that. Thanks for the clarification. I just use to put Tommy Johanssons name out there since many, even Swedish ppl, doesn't know about him. Tommy Körberg is amazing too. I have him as third best singer in Sweden ever. Tommy Johansson second and Jussi Björling comes first.
Anthem is, imo, one of the best pieces of musical work ever created. It is a perfect build of vocals, instruments, tempo and production. It is a tricky song that a good singer can do amazing things with. I've heard all the others, from Bell to Groban to Ramin to others, and they all do amazing with the song. But this is Tommy's baby. This is his bag. Same with Murray Head doing Heaven on Their Minds or Odem doing Wait for It. It's their song. Everyone else just covers it.
From a musicians standpoint, Tommy Korberg's multiple performances of Anthem are shattering, definitive, and bring this piece to life. His understanding of the words, beauty of tone and power are extraordinary. No one can touch him in this arena.
steven rochelle Disagree strongly, Grobans version is dull, lackluster and lifeless compared to the original. Just saw him sing it on the tonight show and there's just no comparison, his version is allmost completly void of passion and feel for the piece.
Sunedosa, well in the musical Josh's voice is stronger way more powerful and if it is lifeless as you said , chech out Josh's neck on the last note, he is giving everything, unlike your inept mr korbergs version where I had to put my speakers on full power just to hear him. And you my friendly idiot this is my last response....
Jesus you really have a hardon for Josh groban haven't you ? I'm not talking about this specific version, this is 20 years after this song was written with Korberg in mind. Of course Korberg who is allmost 60 here will not have the same power as he had in his late 30*s. And to be honest, your attitude makes you just an idiot, not even a friendly one. I've seen you post the same crap in tons of Korberg videos, trying to belittle people on your white knight Groban mission but i don't think you could be less of a cunt even if you tried..
You can hear his heart ❤ in every note when he sings this song in his native Swedish. It takes my breath away and I think of my Swedish father who would have loved to hear him
AMAZING! Bravo! He sounds as flawless as in the recordings from the 1980's. I would sell my soul to go back in time and see the live Chess stage show performed by the original cast.
I saw Tommy K perform this in London about a year after the premier I believe. The first professional stage production I ever saw. Literally changed the musical course of my life. After this, only the highest quality in any genre would do. I am blessed.
Sista sekunden i Tommys ögon; där ser han minsann nöjd ut :-) Och det ska han banne mig vara! Där satt det; he nailed it! Wonderful! Beautiful! Perfectamente!
An honour to sing this anthem, and in line of many with gøød intentions.... we all fall short, there has always been songs for people like Tommy and Jussi (Björling), near exclusively. Leave them be, sing wirh them, but never challenge their talent, they are untouchables👌
The greatest singer no one thinks about when great singers are considered. Magnificent in every way - range, tone, dynamics, emotion. And how he draws in sufficient breath to hold that final note in that brief moment before "my" is amazing.
This is so flippin’ beautiful! That he (as a baritone) manage to sing this song in D-major at a rather non youthful age! It’s bloody amazing how it sounds! That expericene he has, is so inceridble!!
Just listened to Philip Quast, Josh Groban, and Michael Ball versions of this song, and Tommy Korberg just seems to caress, phrase, and sing this song better. I'm ashamed to say that I hadn't heard him sing before. Beautiful version.
I definitely agree with you there. I love Josh Groban and I think he did well singing Anthem, but Josh's version was done a bit too heavily. I think there was too much anguish. This rendition is just perfect. Some anguish there, but more pride and love.
I totally agree John. Like you, I've listened to many versions but this has to top them all! I hadn't heard it before but it's how this amazing song should sound...can't stop listening to it now!!!
I will never forget being present at the exciting moment Chess opened in London and heard Tommy Korberg sang this sung and I fell in love with it at once. The song is beautiful and I have heard many fine interpretations and loved them all. Who performs it best is subjective it is the music and lyrics that are the real beauty.
This is simply brilliant. I love the end where he goes in with all his passion and power. Whish I'd discovered him earlier and got the chance to see him live in his prime. To a certain extent, I think his voice have gained power and depth with the years.
Non é solo la voce di questo straordinario interprete che mette i brividi, ma il testo che mi emoziona, come emigrante che vive dall'84 all'estero in diversi Paesi, avendo perso il contatto con il mio Paese d'origine questo testo mi fa affiorare tutto il dolore e la malinconia del distacco dalle mie radici. Koerberg esprime tutto cio' con la sua voce e veramente mi emoziona fino alle lacrime!
When it comes to this song. There is nothing else like Tommy Korberg. With no disrespect to the other Artists with singing this song. There can be only one person to sing this song. That is Tommy Korberg.
This is another epic performance by the one and only - Tommy Körberg, singing "Anthem" from Chess. No other singer will even come close. Huge affection-factor !
For me he is the the one and only unbeaten Russian through all these years since 1985. Thumbs up with the three Knights who had casted him for the concept album of CHESS. Tommy was, is and will be the incredible master of this incredible masterpiece in musical songs !!!!
Much to my shame and missing out on a great, great voice i have to admit until today when i was searching Google for something else i had never heard of this amazing singer. But now that has all changed and i will be searching for many more of his performances,
No man, no madness Though their sad power may prevail Can possess, conquer, my country's heart They rise to fail She is eternal Long before nations' lines were drawn When no flags flew, when no armies stood My land was born And you ask me why I love her Through wars, death and despair She is the constant, we who don't care And you wonder will I leave her -- but how? I cross over borders but I'm still there now How can I leave her? Where would I start? Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart My land's only borders lie around my heart
Härligt, en man som kan sjunga allt...och som jämt överaskar... Härligt. En man som kan sjunga allt , och som har en känsla för för takt och ton :) "Anthem" kommer nog alltid betyda mycket för mig gällande musikaliska förebilder, och inte minst Tommy. Jag har lyssnat och sett på denna man sen jag var mindre, på konserter, på teve och i radio.
I absolutly LOVE this song and I think Tommy sings this so perfectly. I think this should be our national anthem! But in swedish of coarse =D I love love love the lyrics!!!!!!!!! This is how I feel about my country Sweden
Greetings from New England USA. I have listened to many covers. Yesterday, while listening to Sissel Kerjabo, i came across a duet where this gentleman sang with her, which led to this, and then the instudio . I believe the two men who composed the composition had him in mind. This is his song .The man is the song.
It is often said that the original is always the best and in this case, that is definately true. NO ONE will ever sing this song as amazing as Tommy does, Josh Groban did it very well. no doubt, but Tommy is still the man
I grew up listening to and loving this song, One of the best ever written and sung. Tommy (not only because he was the original singer) does the best rendition I have ever heard. I love this video because it is the first time I have seen Tommy sing
Wilkerson owns Valjean, Crawford owns The Phantom, and Tommy Korberg will forever own Anatoly Sergievsky. Other people play the part and sing the songs but Korberg actually appears to become the part. The depth of emotion he brings with each rendering leaves all the others standing at the gate. While I've learned to enjoy other versions Chess, nothing will ever equal the original cast and recording. I even get goose bumps when he sings it in Swedish!
This is a beautiful song. The first time I saw the musical "Chess" I was in college, and attended with a Lithuanian friend of mine. We were both deeply moved by the song, it moved her to tears. Though the lyrics are written about the Russians, it could also have been written for the Baltic states that were annexed by the Soviets. After the fall of the Soviet Union, I had a chance to visit Lithuania during the freedom festivals that celebrated Lithuania's separation from the Soviet Union. Words can't describe the nationalistic pride they felt as they raised their own flag again, and were once again able to speak Lithuanian in public.
they got so many songs that could be anthems of Sweden ! Arrival when all is said and done ,the way old friends do ;i gave a dream,hamlet 111,klinga mina klokor ,i've been waiting for you ,karlekens tid ,botom sol och manen !
I think it's safe to say that his is the best singer Sweden has ever had. This is s true master of his craft. When I hear Tommy sing I am truly proud to be swedish.
No offence, but Jussi is overrated. He wasn't very good with international opera singer standards and Tommy and Jussi aren't even in the same genre of vocalist. Personally I think Jussi is pretty much crap. I'm not impressed by him in the slightest.
Flabbergasted* Learned* You were* Sperm* You* Don't* How embarrassing that there are people in the year 2014 who can't even spell properly in English. And what videos of your own did you have on your own channel that makes you so good at distinguishing good singers from bad ones, Mr. Expert? Oh, that's right. None whatsoever.
No one does it better. I remember visiting my friend in Copenhagen, coming from Iceland, christmas 1986 and buying this record there. I was 19 then and I still love it today at almost 56 (in few weeks).
Tommy is phenomenal! The best swedish male singer of his generation, in fact one of the best singers and performers of his generation in the world!
I absolutely concur with you. his performance of Endgame from Chess is also breathtaking, especially when you hear his very last note when he jumps from F to the high Bb, it is thrilling. no one else does that in any performance I have ever heard. Outstanding!!!!

More than 30 years after I first heard this and it STILL gives me "chills". A masterclass; never bettered.
I bought the original Chess CD in the 1980s. I simply cannot imagine being able to sing, to have that grace, and to have that POWER, in voice.

Always no:1.
The power in his voice❤️
From a musicians standpoint, Tommy Korberg's multiple performances of Anthem are shattering, definitive, and bring this piece to life. His understanding of the words, beauty of tone and power are extraordinary. No one can touch him in this arena.
sorry david , but josh groban version is far superior, hands down
steven rochelle Disagree strongly, Grobans version is dull, lackluster and lifeless compared to the original. Just saw him sing it on the tonight show and there's just no comparison, his version is allmost completly void of passion and feel for the piece.

You can hear his heart ❤ in every note when he sings this song in his native Swedish. It takes my breath away and I think of my Swedish father who would have loved to hear him
The way he just rips "where" at 2:50 is simply unique to that time period, and it gives that song an authentic style
I love that part too. It is brilliant, powerful. The end of this song is captivating.
"My land's only borders lie around my heart" - instant goosebumps everytime...
Every singe time! Amazing how 30-odd years later this song still resonates, but then the writers are legendary.
🙏⚘️💜⚘️🙏
Prettiest.. this voice make me remember all what I see in my life.

a wonderful singer and a lovely song. How 171 people gave this the thumbs down is inexplicable!
They're tone deaf....🤣
They obviously have no clue of what good singing is..
Tommy and Elaine, what a powerful singing duet. Brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear it.
Same, tears are rolling
Since everyone else doing covers, it´s nice to hear the original version. Just amazing!
I love this song so much and only this master can perform it!
So many have tried to sing this but no one ever never come near Tommy K. This is his song 4 ever.
Re ally best voice in our country!!!!!!
Actually Groban does, both are great though.
Sweden is not Sweden any more...gone be a Muslem Country so sad...
@@chrillebjork5948 What..????
Its not a christian any more gone to be Muslem Country. i am leaving my Loving country
I got chills the first time I heard him sing this when I bought the original album when it came out. I still get chills every single time I hear it.
The original voice of this magical, majestic song and still, by far the best.
This is so beautiful! So much passion in his voice ❤️

He was in jail at the time.❤

Beautifull!! It really sounds like an anthem, part from the lyrics!
Gråter varje gång...❤❤❤
Stunningly beautiful. I wish I could put a reaction of this on my own channel, it is the best of the past few decades' stage musicals.
Much to my shame and missing out on a great, great voice i have to admit until today when i was searching Google for something else i had never heard of this amazing singer. But now that has all changed and i will be searching for many more of his performances,
Cheack out "Dead by April - feat Tommy Körberg" Amazing :D - Rumor says he did it in one take - age 70
He has been famous for years - now plays with the Benny Andersson Orkester (BAO).
Helt maktlös!!! Sällan någon låt får mig att rysa ända in i ryggmärgen och tåra mina ögon, men varje gång jag hör denna stannar tiden!!
Electrifying , such a fantastic voice.
I'll never stop being amazed by the fact that Tommy can do both the American and Swedish version with so much passion :D
American? It's English you daft twat.
Detta är en underbar framställning av Tommy.....
No man, no madness
Though their sad power may prevail
Can possess, conquer, my country's heart
They rise to fail
She is eternal
Long before nations' lines were drawn
When no flags flew, when no armies stood
My land was born
And you ask me why I love her
Through wars, death and despair
She is the constant, we who don't care
And you wonder will I leave her -- but how?
I cross over borders but I'm still there now
How can I leave her?
Where would I start?
Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart
My land's only borders lie around my heart
The guitar ending part is priceless!!!
This is truly amazing. Brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it. :')
I still listen to it and cry
One Of The Best He’s Has Singing !
And Love This Song From My Hart.
Wondeful song powerful voice,goosebumps when you hear this song in his version.
Beautiful, truly beautiful
Fantastic voice!! Subpar timing just like all of the swedish singers. Still one of the all time best in the world.
Åh, jag var också där några dagar efter premiären! Satt med gåshud i 2 timmar! Underbart!!!!!!!!
Härligt, en man som kan sjunga allt...och som jämt överaskar...

The best Version from this Song.
Tommy Körberg sing this only fantastic.
I love this Song so much.
I absolutly LOVE this song and I think Tommy sings this so perfectly. I think this should be our national anthem! But in swedish of coarse =D I love love love the lyrics!!!!!!!!! This is how I feel about my country Sweden
But the lyrics were written by Tim Rice, who happens to be English and not Swedish.
2020-09-14- stil wonderful song from Tommy Körberg , autstanding voise.
Listen to this version when he was younger and you will hear it. Search on:
Anthem (Recording Season 1983)
Im almost crying, Tommy set chills down my spines... Yes Tommy is number one
Mr Korberg sang this song with dignity clarity power control and the continuous crisp clear diction that few can do ... he is the bar.....

This is the theme for every patriot who has ever felt forced to go against their country
Otrolig sång som alltid får mig på bra humör och Tommy sjunger som en gud!
This is the song for all patriots, all feeling people everywhere. Amen, Tommy K.!
This song and this artist are are just part of the reason I think Chess is one of the greatest musicals of the 20th century.
Oh my gosh!!!! I'm supposed to sing this song around October! Tommy... You're amazing
WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE. BEAUTIFUL VOICE.
Everytime I listen to this I wanna start up Civilization :) I dont know why but I guess its something patriotic growing inside of me
It is unlikely that ANYONE can ever better Tommy Korberg
Amazing voice I'm new to this great singer where have I been
This recording is from the year I was born, maybe that's why his voice is the best sound I have ever heard.
❤I love him and his fantastic voice ❤
Tommy du är ju grym på Anthem. Vi hade en på Teater Satelliten som sjöng den för snart ett år sedan på en vårkonsert
