How lucky we are with Sissel is proven by zillions of comments. But she just shares her tremendous fortune with us because there may not be greater luck than doing what one loves. And LOVE - she sure does have with music. Thanx!
Love her singing..........the best of the great soparanos with the face of an angel! Most of the USA somehow missed out on this very special lady. A blessing to music and the people. Kerrville, Texas loves you Sissel.
Sissel has been my favourite soprano/singer for many years now. This rendition of Ave Maria is the greatest of all time. When Sissel eventually goes to heaven, she will be lead singer amongst all the other angels. Bonney, Norman, Sutherland, Callas are/were all great and famous sopranos but Sissel is still the best of the best. Bravo, bravo, bravo Sissel.
Modern Sopranos perhaps. BUT, if you have NOT heard Deanna Durbin sing this song...then you have missed out. Hers was the voice music teachers Taught Sopranos off of. Look up Deanna Durbin you'll find someone else to listen to. :D
A soprano and classical crossover lady of Norwegian, Sissel Kyrkjebo represents one of the world famous of Northern Europe. Her Angel voice almost touched my soul, my feeling and my emotion too. Many applauses for Sissel. An unknown Vietnamese listener.
Sissel Kyrkjebo is our gracious angel indeed !!!!!!!!! Thanks to her and schmued for this heartwarming divine song. Gratefully, Robert S. J. Hu June 6, 2020 .
Sissel's angel-like voice touches my heart whenever I hear her sing ... since I heard her the first time in 1994 at the opening of the Olympic Winter Games
I discovered Sissel only a few weeks ago and cannot get enough. This recording Ave Maria is the best I have ever heard; the clarity of her fine voice with its mediterranean styled accents. Heavenly.
Since discovering Diesel on You Tube I listen to her most days.Her rendition of Ave Maria is the best I have ever heard!When the Pandemic is over I intend to travel to see her in a live performance.
one of the most captivating things i find of sissel is not her voice beautiful and angelic as it is but the way she always sings with such a mischevious smile and twinkel in her eyes
yep. she is ALWAYS smiling while she sings you are correct. And she has been that way since day one so its just WHO she is. Just a beautiful person no doubt about it.
I’m very hard of hearing so big big thanks to God for sending Sissel on utube for me to hear the clearest renditions of anyone I know singing my favourite songs
Schnued, first of all, thanks for posting, because this song belongs too Sissel. Nobody will beat her, this was the first song I tuned into a couple of years ago. And as far as I know, Schnued, you can’t Get this song with Sissel, anywhere else. Her other song Pie Jesu, is another one That won’t be touched by anyone else. She is a beautiful lady, and her voice is
Female voice singing this song = Sissel. She sings it so beautifully to the point it makes me tear up. Male voice singing this song = Perry Como. He puts a rich velvety touch on it.
I just found her by accident, as it were, singing with Placido Domingo. Moved me nigh to tears. Sissel has such a lovely voice and such a sincere and touching delivery. Haunting and wonderful.
as did I, Jon, by accident a few years ago. your adjectives of description are magnificently spot-on. it is my belief that when every aspect of her God-given ability is taken into account, Sissel is the one singer on this planet who is closest to being on a par with the angelic host above ~
I too found Sissel quite by accident on youtube and have been listening to her magnificent voice, and enjoying her beauty and stage presence ever since. She is awesome and amazing; I have collected most of her CDs. Too bad she is virtually unknown in the US; unbelievable! I am introducing her to everyone I know and giving my friends her CDs. They are equally stunned at her talent and beauty!
C’est à 91 ans, cette année, que j’ai découvert la soprano norvégienne Sissel Kyrkjebø. Avec mes deux fils (et feu mon épouse penserait certainement de même) nous apprécions beaucoup sa voix pure comme un cristal de Bohème, sa diction parfaite, sa façon mesurée de chanter qui n’exclut pas une certaine émotion. Longue et saine vie à elle.
What a brilliant rendition Sissel. This is my favourite song and you have sung it better than anyone else I have heard. Your high notes are faultless and effortless. If you ever come to Australia, I will be watching from the front row. Thank you for making my day and all the best for your future. XXXX
This sound reaches out to embrace all those souls who have been blessed to hear it, and for a time, join the at the heart. God is Sissel's greatest fan...
Another brilliant rendition by Sissel. I love her singing opera with her high range of notes. She stands as a peer with Maria Callas, Barbara Bonney and dame Joan Sutherland as the best of the best. The clarity of her words are so crystal clear.
Amazing Sissel!....Are you from this planet? I think Heaven sent you to Earth from a faraway musical Paradise !!!....Thanks to exist, incredible creature!...All my love!
