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
