My wife and I took our young family to this concert. We were not expecting to hear such a spiritually moving performance at a Pioneer Day celebration. We were absolutely stunned! We knew we had just witnessed something incredible. Something that didn't seem a part of this Terrestrial world. A Celestial moment. Yes, we gave her a long, heart-felt standing ovation, which was rightly deserved. My young kids were a bit bored and fussy during the beginning of the concert. But during this song they were mesmerized and sat perfectly still during the song. I wonder if anyone even took a breath during it. I feel it an honor even being a part of the the audience that got to experience Sissel live and in person. She will forever have our hearts and respect. Love you Sissel. Please come back again!
I'm soon turning 60 and I have heard a lot of live performaces. I usually listen to rock, funk and heavy, but over the years I have built my self a musical goosebump radar that is imune to musical genres. She is soo good. Probably one of the best liveperformances I ever heard.
I live in Salt Lake and I was there that night! I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! When she was done singing, all those 21,000 people blown away by what they had just seen! I’ll never forget that day and that feeling! It was so special!
I was there too! My first! I have replayed this one dozens of times & remain in awe. When the audience started their standing ovation it was very courteously enthusiastic but grew louder with amazing spine tingling excitement that sent chills and goosebumps all over me! I have never ever in my 70+ yrs ever experienced any musical thrill like it!
'Slow down, I know that he is God" what a powerful message in the song, our lives are so busy with fruitless empty activities, let us take the time to slow down and feel his spirit and accept him as our savior and we will know that the he lives. I attended this performance and it was the best live performance I've vever heard . Sissel has an amazing repertoire.
She is beyond “good”! This woman’s soprano voice is regarded as the clearest, purest approach to vocal perfection that’s been heard by any of us for a long time! (Just repeating what I’ve heard other vocal coaches say, and with which my ears and judgement agree.)
Thank you for reacting to Sissel. This song is very special because it is a prayer unto God. She sings with such focus, clarity, and reverence. It helps us to feel something special, that God is our loving Heavenly Father and he is with us. Be still, slow down and know that He is God.
The voice of Norway for the last 35 years or so. Her voice matches the scenery of Norways west coast in the summer perfectly. That's where alle the deep fjords and steep mountains are. This song and performance takes me to the exact emotional place the song is encouraging. So beautyful
It isn’t her first time performing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for their Christmas Concert. She is back by popular demand, and valued highly for the purity and clarity of her soprano voice, not only for performances like this but also for, literally, every vocal she performs! The woman’s voice and talent using that voice are the best I have ever heard!
She is just incredible. She is Norwegian. She was the one Titanic was written for. They choose a more known Celine - but she got to sing Titanic suit. (the none word part). She has been singing with the biggest operators in the world - and with Prince igor and many others. She has been on the most famous stages, but has always been a family girl. No diva, sweet and normal. No one sings "Pie Jesu" like her. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I1ghkPFb90E.html When she got 50 - she gave us 50 youtube videos by her daughter - with an extra to each song, explaining why she chose that song and her thought around this, Very beautiful made.
I am glad that you finally discovered Sissel. She is an angel in all sense. I would like to meet her in the eternal life and sing together with her in God's choir. May God find me in His faith when His Son is coming to us again.
Love to see you get moved by Sissel….duh! A pure voice that pulls at your heart strings. You will be amazed with another Sissel performance at the same Pioneer Concert with the Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square in SLC. Please give “Angel Passing Through Your Room” a listen to. I look forward to it. Keep it up and I also love your reactions to Angelina Jordan.
Thanks for reacting to Sissel....she is just worldclass. Anyway...My favorites of all her performences are when she sings "Surrender" (Elvis Presley) and "Wait a while" (Jon Lord...from Deep Purple)....We all admire Sissel and her singing chills
No reactor has done Sarah's Song (?). There are a number of live vids on RU-vid of Sissel singing this song that she wrote for her daughter Sarah. A pop song with reasoned lyrics & cogent message.
Sissel (seesle) Kyrkjebø (share' shi ber, "lives in a church" in Norwegian), Over 30 years of singing, 10+ million albums sold, long considered one the best classical-crossover singers (mezzo-soprano) and has sung almost every genre, including opera, with an arm's length list of performers. Choir: The 300 voice The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square (Mormon Tabernacle Choir), one of the most famous choirs in the world.
Just a minor correction. Bø doesn't mean lives in. You mix that up with bo. The Norwegian letter ø is pronounced something like the u in butter. O is pronounced in a way you don't have a sound for in English. The closest is probably the oo like in noon. You form the o by forming your lips like a forward circle. A bø is a fenced in field usually with buildings. So Kyrkjebø means the field with a church. Kyrkje is the western Norwegian dialect word for the Norwegian word kirke. Kirke means church.
Yes you do know her! Celine sang the theme song from titanic, which actually was never in the movie, Sissel did the entire soundtrack save nearer my god to thee. This song was originally done in the early 70s, and very obscure and had a very different arrangement.
If you listen to her performance of "Adagio" by Albinoni, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0F8qJUZZ0hg.html and do not stop until the end of the video, you may hear her name be pronounced correctly by the commentator at ab. 4.28/29 out in the video. And also at the very end of the "Surrender" video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kxVoHnepfuc.html For good measure I will recommend a beautiful little pearl: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-awlKCeDKH_o.html
Sissel is from the town Bergen in Norway, also she has been drinking the same water as Aurora. She is now mentioned to be one of the best messo sopranos in the world, even have allmoust no song educaution at all. When singing in a local choir she was discovered in the early eighties, and soon became a tressure with her crystall clear voice for the norwegians,
