Elaine Paige's 50th anniversary album 'The Ultimate Collection' out 12 May 2014: http://smarturl.it/elainepaigenewalbum

Elaine Paige and Tommy Korberg sing 'Mountain Duet' live in Stockholm, 1984.This was part of a televised concert promoting the album 'Chess' with the original LP's cast members.

Other videos are already on Youtube of 'Pity the Child' and 'Nobody's Side'.

Benny and Bjorn of ABBA are in the orchestra and play different roles, such as the piano, the accordion and the typewriters in 'Embassy Lament'. Barbara Dickson apparently took ill during the concert, and didn't sing her role in 'Endgame,' when Karin Glenmark (Anders Glenmark (the Arbiter's) wife), took over and stole the show.

Full tracks in the concert are:

Is this even live? They sounds so perfect, it's even better than the album recording.

Think about this a moment. 1979 Evita & Elaine Paige made front page news for its opening night. 1980s Chess had two of one of the greatest pop bands write chess, Michael Ball had prime time saturday evening shows, lloyd Webber became a household name, his girlfriend the same. Phantom & Les Mis are some of the biggest hits even now 30 years later. X Factor type shows start - name me a single west end star that has been in the charts since?

Chess was such a fascinating show. When I saw the original production I was very moved by the music. However, what infuriates me is the constant tinkering with the lyrics (not to mention the poor libretto!). I do wish we could have a revival of that original vision. It was so dazzling. The re-works are nothing like as powerful.

THANK GOD they didn't translate this to Swedish! The Norwegian performance (sung in Nordic) was insulting.

it's such a wonderful song.... breathtaking melodies, vocal harmonies everything. how can that song not be one of the best known musical songs of the last decades ? Chess should be reworked and redone to a proper stage show. With all the media interest in everything from B&B it should regain it's place as one of the best musical scores ever.

I still think this is the most romantic, most sexy duet of any 'modern' musical. Tommy Korberg's voice melted my heart as a 19 year old, and nothing's really changed. Sumptuous harmonies.

FLORENCE This is the one situation I wanted most to avoid Nothing I say will convince him this isn't a trick. THE RUSSIAN A drink on a clear moonlit night--I relax, she smiles There's something unpleasant going on FLORENCE So with immaculate timing, I'm left to carry the can Embarrassed, outnumbered, marooned-- THE RUSSIAN Now she can't be working for them--I mean us-- She seems so very straightforward-- But where is he?
