Chess is a musical that sounds like it shouldn't work but instead succeeds surprisingly well. This is the original concept album that was recorded before the musical was staged in London. Chess is the story of a love triangle told against the backdrop of an international chess tournament during the height of the cold war. The composers are Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus (the Bs in ABBA) and the lyrics are by Tim Rice, who supplied the words for Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita, as well as Disney's Aladdin (with Howard Ashman), The Lion King, and Beauty and the Beast. The six-member cast does a beautiful job with the songs, which are a combination of ballads, rock, and operatic choruses. Murray Head's version of "One Night in Bangkok" became a surprise hit in the mid-'80s and it still turns up on the turntables in dance clubs around the world. --Michael Simmons

sorry not share my rip more. but please: you share your release

скачал фозиевский рип - всё нормально, как мне кажется. посему и вынес его на раздачу. альбом весьма интересный и необычный

Послушал - да, это сила. Может и не супер-дрюпер, но явно полчше скажем Фантома в Опере... Порадовался, всем спасибо!

уже значит не зря прикупил было
