FRIDA & Dan Daniell "1865 - The Anthem"
The Official CD Cover
This morning, Dan Daniell confirmed and published the official CD cover for the brilliant, new track "1865", sung by FRIDA, Dan Daniell and with backing vocals by the group "WintersHome". Note the reversed "R" in FRIDA`s Name GREAT!!!
Frida új dalt jelentet meg Dan Daniellel közösen jövő év elején.
A hivatalos borító most került bemutatásra.
A háttér énekesek "WintersHome" együttes tagjai.
To mark Matterhorn’s anniversary, Frida will be joining up with the Zermatt singer Dan Daniell and some youngsters of Zermatt to record the Matterhorn anthem "1865" on CD. It will be available in store from February 13, 2015.
In 2015, Zermatt will be commemorating the 150 anniiversary of the first ascent of the Matterhorn. To mark this occasion, the Zermatt singer Dan Daniell registered a song with Frida from ABBA, who lives in Zermatt. The anthem for the 2015 anniversary was written by the Zermatt native Urs Biner. The owner of the premium restaurant "Chez Heini" is a top chef, author and first and foremost a singer - he has been releasing albums for more than two decades under the name of Dan Daniell.
Biner was able to count on the help of a good friend to sing the official song for the Matterhorn anniversary: It is none other than the ABBA legend Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad. They will be singing the song "1865" as a duet. The song brings the dramatic race to the summit of the Matterhorn to life with the power of a chorale and its impressive lyricism. It is the perfect soundtrack for an anniversary that will surely attract attention from all over the world. Dan and Frida were supported in the chorus and backing by the Zermatt group "Wintershome". The anthem was recorded in Zermatt.
The proceeds from the sale of the single will go to the foundation "Frida and Dan Daniell for children," which Frida set up together with Dan Daniell. The Foundation supports small projects in Switzerland, but also in Europe and around the world.
The world star and creative top chef, the anniversary and the myth, the song and the good cause: Great ingredients for an exceptional project that will not only get a resounding welcome from the global ABBA community.

SOMETHING DIFFERENT!!!!
Would you like to see Benny Andersson baking some kind of "crispy bread"?
This is about Leksandsbröd, a swedish family company. Crispbread factory outlet.
It was in January 2013 that Leksandsbröd decided to move production of Vika bread from Great Skedvi and 31 people lost their jobs. Since then, hundreds of people committed to bring back the bread to the countryside.
The owners have also sold a third of the company to other investors. One of them, the most famous of them, baked the first loaf on Thursday. It was none other than Benny Andersson.
- I'm very fond of crispbread, I think it's some kind of cultural achievement, it belongs to our cultural heritage, Benny explains.
In contrast, Benny Andersson thinks He won´t engage to some bread related songs to come.
- I don´t think so, but you never know, said Benny.
Valami egészen más!
Csak röviden a lényeg.
2013-ban egy kenyérsütő cég kénytelen volt bezárni és több száz ember elvesztette az állását.
Eladták a céget és a vevők közt megtalálható Benny is, aki nagyon kedveli ezt a kenyeret, melyet nemzeti kultúrájuk részének tart.
Vajon lesz új dal erről, kap-e inspirációt?
Benny válasza:
Nem hiszem, de kit tudja?

A very nice release containing all solo production officially released on LPs and SPs during the period of 1967-1979. The booklet was written in two languages (Swedish and English). Agnetha's solo career was described professionally and some less known pictures of Agnetha were included in the booklet.
I am very proud of having this nice rare box.
10 éve jelent meg Agnetha nagyon szép kiadványa, melyben 1967-79-ig összes szólólemeze és egy bónusz lemez is található.
A mellékelt kiskönyvben több eddig még meg nem jelent kép is található.
Büszke vagyok rá, hogy nekem megvan ez a különleges box.

The last ABBA single in the 1970s and the last single selected from the album "Voulez-Vous" was "I Have a Dream" featuring Anni-Frid in lead vocals.

35 éve jelent meg az együttes kislemeze.
Különlegessége, hogy a B oldal több országban a live verziója volt a Take a chance on me c. dalnak.

|
2014.11.18. 18:20 |
Az Abba együttes Chiquitia c. dala újabb sikereket hoz.
Ezt a dalt az együttes összes jogával együtt felajánlotta az UNICEF-nek 1979-ben.
Azóta sok-sok pénzt szerzett a rászoruló gyerekeknek.
30 millió koronát.
Most különleges változata kerül kiadásra a szerzők engedélyével.
A svéd Laleh énekesnő adja elő a jól ismert slágert.
Agnetha énekelte az eredeti verziót, ez teljesen más lesz.
November 18-án jelenik meg a dal.
ABBA & Laleh's music million gift to vulnerable girls
Now Laleh makes her own version of the band's cult song
ABBA's gift to Unicef has collected 30 million kronor. Now the song will give even more.
First to interpret "Chiquitita" is Laleh.
- She is perfect, says Björn Ulvaeus A talented woman who could have been a Chiquitita.
The original of "Chiquitita" has collected 30 million kronor for UNICEF.
Now the four members of ABBA give all of the song's royalties to UN's campaign for children. The new recording with Laleh is the start of a new campaign.
On January 9, 1979 ABBA took part in a concert in the UN General Assembly, together with, among others, the Bee Gees, Rod Stewart, John Denver, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Donna Summer. Since then, they have donated a portion of their royalties for the song to UNICEF. Now they give all their revenues for the song to the UN Children's Fund.
To get even more people to listen, every year the band will invite a new artist to record the song.
- It's incredibly exciting to be involved in this project, says Laleh in a filmed greeting. I love ABBA and I love the song. It may not change the world, but it can change some person's world like mine was changed.
Hailed by Fältskog
On Thursday, November 20th, Laleh and Björn Ulvaeus will be at the UN headquarters in New York when the 25th anniversary of the children's convention is observed. He will talk, she will sing "Chiquitita".
When the original was recorded, it was Agnetha Fältskog who sang the first verse.
- In her own personal way, the talented Laleh has given us a completely "new" Chiquitita, Agnetha writes today. With a voice that expresses so many shades of joy, sadness and more. A fantastic fantasy arrangement, it just pulls you in.
The ABBA Museum on Djurgarden also makes a special exhibition on "Chiquitita" and the cooperation with UNICEF. In particular, efforts to help girls and young women's rights in the world.
"Press play to give" is the project's name and it is also the name of the website. By listening to "Chiquitita" on Spotify or modify streamed services, you can contribute with money for UNICEF.
"Chiquitita" by Laleh released at 09:00 on 18 November.

October 29, 2008 A Winter Symphony is a Christmas album from the English soprano singer Sarah Brightman,
Released in November 2008 IN THE US
Selling about 14,000 copies on the first week in the United States, the album debuted at number thirty-eight on the Billboard Top 200. It also made other debuts such as the Top Classical Crossover Albums at number-three. It scored a number six in the Top Holiday Albums, being the first entry for Brightman on this chart and debuted at number-four on the Top Internet Albums. Up to December 2008, the album had sold over 100.000 copies in the U.S.
"Arrival", which had working titles of "Fiol", "Ode to Dalecarlia" & "Arrival in Dalecarlia", was the instrumental title track from Swedish pop group ABBA's album of the same name.
"Arrival" was the second and last song from the group not to contain lyrics, following "Intermezzo No.1" the previous year.
Sarah Brightman recorded this vocal version for her 2008 seasonal album A Winter Symphony, with previously unused lyrics from Björn Ulvaeus, which he wrote in 1999 for possible inclusion in the Mamma Mia! musical.
" Arrival " 2008 Sarah Brightman ( Lyrics by Bjorn Ulvaeus 1999 )
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au1tMR86zO0
2008-ban ezen a napon jelent meg ez a cd. Az angol szoprán énekesnő Sarah Brightman énekel csodálatos téli és karácsonyi dalokat ezen az albumon.
A lemez érdekessége, hogy az Arrival c. dal is elhangzik rajta, aminek eredetileg nem volt szövege. Björn 1999-ben írt hozzá szöveget a Mamma Mia musical számára.
Ez az egyik és az utolsó szöveg nélküli Abba dal az Intermezzo No.1. után.
