This week Orchestral genius André Rieu releases a double album with one disc dedicated to the ultimate legends of pop: ABBA.
It includes Eurovision winner Waterloo but the absence of Dum Dum Diddle is a missed opportunity of philharmonic proportions.
The ABBA CD includes the following tracks:
- Chiquitita
- Mama
Mia
- Fernando
- Money,
Money Money
- The
Winner Takes It All
- Waterloo
- I
Have A Dream
- Arrival
- Dancing
Queen
- The
Way Old Friends Do
- Thank
You For The Music
- Thank
You Abba
The other CD features timeless classics like Yesterday (Beatles), I Don't Know How To Love Him (Jesus Christ Superstar), La Vie En Rose (Edith Piaf, Grace Jones), Arriverderci Roma (Renato Rascel, Mario Lanza) and Hymne A L'amour (Edith Piaf)
