Mamma mia soundtrack torrent download

The instrumental portions of the music are remarkably similar to the original ABBA recordings, which is not surprising given that ABBA member Benny Andersson , who produced this album, reunited the original studio musicians to re-create their parts. Their playing his, in particular is a bit less precise here and there three decades on, but for the most part it's hard to tell the difference.

Here, the first of those problems is alleviated, while the second is somewhat elided by performers who are actors used to finding ways to say or sing even the silliest lines with some conviction. That's all to the good.

But the generally low to mediocre quality of singing is such as to suggest an all- ABBA night in a karaoke bar. The singers may be divided into those who embarrass themselves and those who manage to avoid doing so. In the latter category, the most prominent is Meryl Streep , in the starring role of Donna, an innkeeper living on a Greek isle with her daughter Sophie, who is about to be married and, never having been told who her real father is, sets the plot in motion by writing to three of her mother's ex-boyfriends and inviting them to the wedding.

Streep , who has some stage singing experience, is actually better when she's belting than when she has to be more intimate and expressive, as she is called on to do for most of the ballad "The Winner Takes It All. It's too bad that Christine Baranski , a ringer who has real musical theater chops, only gets to sing "Does Your Mother Know," not only because the album would be vastly improved with more of her, but also because she is so much better than the others that she makes them sound even worse than they are.

On-screen, just as on-stage, Mamma Mia! On disc, it is no more than a souvenir of the film experience which didn't keep this album from topping charts all over the world upon its release.

Here, the songs are being sung by native English speakers, and that is a distinct improvement. The recording features snippets of dialogue here and there, though the plot line is not clearly delineated, which will frustrate those who haven't seen the show. And anyone planning to sing along had better consult the lyric sheet beforehand, because there are minor differences here and there. Though, thankfully, the creative team couldn't find a way to work "Waterloo" or "Fernando" into the story!
