Helen Sj\u00f6holm and Tommy K\u00f6rberg are in sensationally good shape. BAO has some surprises in its unique mix on this summer&#8217;s tour. Like a couple of more forgotten ABBA songs.\u200b<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>And when Helen Sj\u00f6holm does <em>You Are My Man<\/em> as a tribute to Benny Andersson, the Garden Association explodes both on and next to the dance floor.\u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The orchestra also makes an irresistibly intense version of <em>On and on and on<\/em>. After four hours of concert, they put in an extra speed with the voices. Impressive.\u200b<\/p>\n<p>The finale of the first half is fantastic when the addictive new <em>Om du var jag<\/em> pass over to <em>He is your brother<\/em> from ABBA&#8217;s first album and <em>Lovers (live a little longer)<\/em> from the disco year 1979 (&#8230;)\u200b<\/p>\n<p>It may be the tropical heat as it approaches midnight in Gothenburg that makes you think of New Orleans. But also the musical mix from BAO. The evening starts with <strong>Calle Jakobsson&#8217;s<\/strong> tuba in <em>Glasgow boogie<\/em> and then the hours are dancing forward with many different stops. Much sounds familiar from the orchestra&#8217;s previous tours, but here are also new and old elements. Both covers and their own songs.\u200b<\/p>\n<p>Benny Andersson has always had open ears and in his music you can hear impressions from many directions. Often there is a melancholy with passages of folk music. As in the melancholy beautiful <em>Jag h\u00f6r<\/em>, which inspired<strong> Bj\u00f6rn Ulvaeus<\/strong> to a poignant lyrics about death. Tommy K\u00f6rberg makes it very moving. And fantastic <em>Saknadens rum<\/em> with Helen Sj\u00f6holm (&#8230;)\u200b<\/p>\n<p>We also end up in the border regions of Mexico with the festive trumpets in a tequila spirited version of ABBA&#8217;s <em>Put on your white sombrero<\/em>.\u200b<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kalle Moraeus<\/strong>, among other things, excels with <strong>Bach<\/strong> on banjo, his parade number <em>O sole mio<\/em> and a hard rock guitar solo.\u200b<\/p>\n<p>The evening is almost perfect (&#8230;)\u200b<\/p>\n<p>There is nothing else that sounds and mix like Benny Andersson&#8217;s Orchestra.\u200b<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t miss it.<\/p>\n<p><em>(The entire review is not reproduced for copyright reasons)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/press-clips\/reviews-2019\/\">Back<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Helen Sj\u00f6holm and Tommy K\u00f6rberg in peak shape &nbsp; Aftonbladet 190726\u200b By: JENS PETERSON\u200b ++++\u200b Benny Andersson&#8217;s Orchestra\u200b The Garden Association, Gothenburg.\u200b Audience: 4 612\u200b <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/press-clips\/reviews-2019\/nice-year-with-bao\/\">Read More &#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":8285,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8548","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8548"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8548\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
