What a novel idea! Take one of the most photogenic people in the world, who also happens to be one of its best singers, and put her in a setting like this where she delivers a magnificent rendition of one of the world's most beautiful songs.
+David Raby Added note: This video plus two others posted here on RU-vid -- "Soria Moria" and "Seterjentens søndag" with violinist Arve Tellefsen -- were part of a Norwegian television program broadcast in about 1989. This 50-minute program included at least four songs from West Side Story plus the enchanting "Pokarekare Ana" and others. The video was titled "Sissel selv" and was posted on Facebook on the page "30 Years of Greatness -- A fanclub devoted to Sissel Kyrkjebø."
Sissel have en Exceptional voice of angelical sounds....her charismatic style and unique beauty make us all feel relax as we hear her voice.. Sissel is an icon for humanity's cultural values...!
Having goosebumps all over from listening to this stunning performance! I am from Bergen like she is and she is truly our national treasure. She always sings beautifully but this song is definitely one of my Sissel favorites. So soothing and wonderful to listen to!
I love Sissel! She is like an angel from a different world with the voice of an angel! I have to see this video from time to time and she always touches my heart! Thank you Sissel Kyrkjebo and God bless you!
I love my norwegian wife Anna who is also a good singer but not as good as Sissel.What a wonderful voice!!! En vakker kvinne med en vakker stemme fra et vakkert land av koselig folk.Tusen takk golden girl.
rick rodrigues She DID make a beautiful and talented "Maria" in the stage production of "Sound of Music" in Bergen, Norway. It was probably around the time of this video.
Citizens of Norway, you did it right in a BIG WAY. Now, please make more Sissels and send them over here to the USA so that each of us guys can have one of our own.
Thank you - gosh was not the rest of the world slow in recognising what a great performer she is ? A happy and peaceful 2011 to you Gubar2000 - and to Sissel too !
