Info zu ABBA for Orchestra
Abba, from winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974 were to become one of the most popular groups of all time. Carl Davis saw the performance that night and admired the cleverness of the arrangement, the composition, and the sheer cheekiness of their presentation. Forty years later, their music lives on and he decided, having taken soundings from colleagues and industry representatives, to make an Abba for Orchestra album, having already successfully made Beatles for Orchestra and Bond for Orchestra albums.

The orchestra gives over sixty concerts each season in Liverpool Philharmonic Hall and tours widely throughout the United Kingdom and internationally, touring to China, Japan, Switzerland, France, Spain, Germany, Romania and the Czech Republic. World première performances have included major works by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, Sir John Tavener, Sir James MacMillan, Karl Jenkins, Stewart Copeland, Michael Nyman, Michael Torke, Nico Muhly and James Horner, alongside works by Liverpool-born and North West-based composers.
