SBM remastered reissue of 1979 compilation featuring 16 ofthe ABBA vocalist's finest solo recordings 1968-1979. All tracks are sung in Swedish only, including ABBA's smash'SOS'! Tracks are listed in both English & Swedish. 1998Columbia release. Review: Didn't understand a word but loved it! Highly recommended. - Absolutely stunning CD. I primarily bought it because it had Agnetha's first ever recorded song and also had her performance of "I Don't Know How To Love Him" when she was Mary Magdalene in the Swedish production of "Jesus Christ Superstar". She also does the Swedish version of the ABBA song "SOS". I can't tell if this is actually ABBA or her own version but it sounds like the former. I also was interested in hearing her sing in her native language. The other 13 songs were superb and I listened straight through without skipping ahead to preview songs. It was so good I was sad when it was over, There are multiple styles like ballads, pop, cabaret-type and some what I might call folk music. Real happy tunes and all are wonderful. It just proves over and over she is much more than ABBA and has been a star in her own right before and after those years. Hearing them in English would have taken something away from it and they are perfect as is. It just gives me incentive to learn the language. Review: Great Voice! - Agnetha Falkstog had a recording career long before ABBA was formed. Her voice on some of the earlier hit recordings found here is breathtaking, as for example on her Swedish-language cover of "I Don't Know How to Love Him." The tunes are all good. I thought it was especially interesting to see how they paralleled American arrangements of the same time. And don't miss the Swedish-language version of ABBA's hit, "SOS." Great buy.

Agnetha
I really loved this CD, Agnetha has such a beautiful voice, even though it is in Swedish, it is still enjoyable, I like the Swedish version of I Don't know how to love him and SOS, also the one I enjoyed most is Nar du tar mej I din Famn, this song really grew on me.

Me gusta Agnetha en sueco. Su voz es la de un angel. Si hubiera seguido cantando sola seria una estrella unica. Lo es ahora despues de Abba. Que viva por siempre.

Agnethas Stimme beeindruckt mich seit jeher und es verwundert nicht, dass sich Björn 'Head over heals' in sie verliebt hatte, als er sie zum ersten Mal im Radio hörte. Dass sie so viele Songs selbst geschrieben hat und vor allen Dingen in welcher Qualität ist schon erstaunlich. Die ersten Titel der CD stammen aus den 60'er bis Anfang der 70'er Jahre und gehören wohl zum Genre Chanson. Es macht Spaß ihr dabei zu zuhören, wie sie mit ihrer Muttersprache spielt flirtet und so herrlich das 'R' rollt. (Man lausche besonders Track 5!) Den letzten Titel gibt es bereits auf dem 'The greatest Hitsalbum - That's me', dort unter dem Titel 'The Queen of hearts' - in englisch. Eine wunderbar gelungener Mix aus Chanson, Schlager und Balladen. Ich mag die schwedische Sprache, und möchte mal wissen wer im Englischen alles versteht. Es gibt so viele Sprachen, da sollte man mal über den eigenen Tellerrand schaue Ich habe sie bereits mehrmals gehört. Denn niemand ist schließlich gezwungen sich diese CD zu zulegen. Ich habe sie bereits mehrmals gehört und höre sie immer wieder.

Agnetha tiene un exquisito gusto para elegir las canciones que canta,y este disco no es una excepcion.Como canta en sueco la mayor parte de los temas no entiendo nada,pero se percibe claramente la calidad de las canciones y la belleza de su voz..Ademas,me gustan los discos que tienen bastante cantidad de canciones como este.
