Average Rating: Rating: - A Cherished Gift At first, with my very limited knowledge of Swedish, I didn't know the story but still enjoyed the music very much. Clearly, behind the powerful, expressive music, there had to be a rich, moving story. I was eager to learn it and actively sought the Vilhelm Moberg books, "The Emigrants", "Unto A Good Land", "The Settlers", and "Last Letter Home to Sweden". [all available on amazon.com, by the way.. and well-worth reading!] Reading the books on which the musical is based naturally enriched my appreciation "Kristina" - the musical. Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus masterfully grasped the fullness, the flavor of Moberg's epic story about a family of Swedish emigrants who travelled to the New World to create a new home. What I wouldn't give to be able to see this magnificent work performed live...and hear the the soaring voice of Kristina who I'm sure brings the audience to tears with her prayerful and powerful "Du Maste Finnas" ... and witness the stalwart Karl Oskar's emotional watch over his beloved wife in "Stanna" ... and experience Robert's breathtaking last three lyrics i "Ut Mot Ett Hav". Alas, I live in the USA and have never been to Sweden.. so until "Kristina fran Duvemala" comes to Broadway, I will cherish the music from the CD. Rating: - Underbart!! I loved it.

Clearly, behind the powerful, expressive music, there was a rich, moving story. I was eager to learn it and actively sought the Vilhelm Moberg books ("The Emigrants", "Unto A Good Land", "The Settlers", and "Last Letter Home to Sweden") in libraries and bookstores.

Rating: - Music Simply Marvelous Musical theater and opera play a very big role in my life. Several years ago Kristina fran Duvemala was recommended to me. I don't know a word of Swedish, yet after several listenings to the 3-CD set, I was completely captivated by the music and the singing. Helen Sjoholm, Anders Ekborg, and Peter Joback are among my favorites now. I subsequently bought the Joback CD of Broadway songs. I am not at all surprised Mamma Mia is a big hit as Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus seem to have been born [Bjorn?] to write for the stage. The show Chess has various weaknesses, but the score surely is not one of them. To those of you who like the Chess music, I can only say wait 'til you hear Kristina. Its a healthy investment -- I overpaid [price] at Colony in NYC -- but worth every penny. I would travel to Minneapolis to see it in English, or even in Swedish, if it actually were performed there as was planned, at least at one time. I think it could be a major success on Broadway.
