- Sure, 'The Circle' disappointing
Benny Andersson about to fail, the new album and "Mamma mia! 2 '
A new record with choral songs. And soon go Benny Andersson entered the studio again with the BAO. The orchestra goes on tour this summer. "Circle" a disappointing crowd-wise. But he will continue to produce the film. And the door to a "Mamma mia! 2 "is not closed.
- I understand why the film company is interested in a sequel, but personally I am not, Benny Andersson says. It rolls on at a snail's pace.
Revival and success of the "Kristina" at Cirkus in Stockholm. Songs from the musical "Chess" and BAO is included on the new album "Love Time". Gustaf Sjökvist Chamber Choir sings Benny Andersson's music.
- I was happy when Gustav asked, Benny Andersson says. It was when Victoria married in 2010. "It would be great fun to do an album with your music." I said of course "be happy for me."
They selected songs together and had time to record the disc before Gustaf Sjökvist died earlier this year.
- Most of the songs were written for the choir. "Anthem" is not it, but it got pretty nice, I think.
Current time again
The choir sang Benny Andersson "Vilar happy in your embrace" the Crown Princess's wedding. The songs on "Love Time" presented at two concerts with the choir in Stockholm. From "Kristina" include "little flock" and "Where do we hear at home."
"Kristina" has become to-date again, a story of refugees who leave suffering and poverty at home.
- I recently received a photo of the refugees at the border between Serbia and Hungary. It looks exactly like a scene out Duvemåla, it's eerie, Benny Andersson says. Of course I have thought and felt that most other when I followed the news.
You have been generous in different contexts. Did you do something now?
- Yes. Absolutely. We have both Björn and me. What gets someone else to tell you.
Are you careful not to say what you think in political issues?
- No, not at all. But one must choose their battles. You can not be everywhere, even if you have opinions. As for the renovation of Slussen, I hope that they take to their senses in the City Hall for the vote on 28 September. I have said what I think.
Have you always loved choral music?
- The human voice is the best instrument. The more the merrier. If you listen to ABBA is very much running. It's always been fun to work with many voices. Gustaf Sjökvist Chamber is extrembra. They are so incredibly responsive, have been singing together for many years with the world's best leaders. Coir is almost like a person.
You considered any of your more pop songs?
- No. But had I had the time I had tried to write something new that no one heard. It would have been nice, but I was so busy doing "circle".
The film received good reviews and was seen by 120,000 in the cinema. Benny Andersson produced along with Cecilia Norman Mardell and Ludvig Andersson.
- The film was good. We're all a bit disappointed that there were more and saw it at the cinema. It was absolutely worth the work. Now it costs us money instead of giving it back. It must be taken as instructive money. The work was great fun.
There will be no sequel?
- Not as it looks now. But we are negotiating with an English bolaga of remakes of both "Circle" and the other two books in English.
"The circle" must be your first disappointment in the job for a long time.
- It's nice having a little variety in their careers. Commercially was a disappointment, but not artistic. It's a good movie. The jar nowhere. We did what we could. We will continue to produce the film.
There will be new music too. Benny Andersson Orchestra go into the studio and tour bus.
- In autumn and spring we record a new album with BAO. It's probably finished in May, and then we'll be on tour in July.
You have a new album finished?
- I actually wrote all the music, though Björn do not know ... well, he knows but I have not sent anything yet that he will write lyrics to. It will be fun to record. Every time we BAO is the studio thinking "why are we not here the whole time?". It is unbeatable. I could be there with them every day.
You still have time to get into film?
- The slowest of the BAO is to get together music. It's finished now. To record it goes pretty fast. Then we rehearse a little more before the tour there will be ten new ditties.
Now and then there are rumors of a sequel to the movie "Mamma Mia!".
- Yeah, I know. Sure got away: "Give us an victims We can not refuse". It talked about it and we communicate with Judy Cramer. Catherine has written a history, but it should Altas. We got suggestions for a director who understood nothing. So we can not have that. It rolls on at a snail's pace.
He does not want to spoil the impression of the original's success.
- I think we should be extremely pleased with how the film "Mamma Mia!" Was, Benny Andersson says. Personally, I'm not interested in a sequel, but I understand why the film company Universal is there.
But what can the company give you the offer that you can not resist. Economically?
- No, no, it must have artistic bearing. Otherwise it is completely useless.
Bjorn Ulvaeus are working to transform the Tyrol at Gröna Lund to a tavern in "Mamma Mia!" - Spirit. Premiered in January.
- I have not a thing to do.
You are not concerned with how ABBA songs made?
- No ... I should go there and see how it sounds. Maybe it's something I can contribute without being involved. They do not listen to me, they might do it if I have comments. I do not really know what it will be at Tyrol, but it can be fun. I hope that for Bjorn's sake.
