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.

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.

It's never ABBA, but it's still Agnetha. I love her voice, and if you do, you'll find songs that make you wish you could hear her sing every day of your life.

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.
