    The first time I saw "Titanic" I walked out and said "Who was that soprano in "Hymn to the Sea"?" Someone said "That was Celine Dion". I said "That was not Celine Dion!". I walked over to the poster and that's the first time I saw her name, "Sissel"!

    This is the national treasure of Norway. You just uncovered an hidden gem. I got goosebumps by watching your reaction. Thank you for a great video! Your next videos with her should be "Pie Jesu" (ua-cam.com/video/7QVDoYghauo/v-deo.html) and "Sancta Maria" (ua-cam.com/video/lbtVKvuQvAU/v-deo.html). Two real diamonds by Sissel!

    Please react to Sissel singing Shenandoah, listening to her singing that song brings tears to my eyes! If you won´t make a reaction video, I at least hope you´ll listen to it. I can promise you won´t regret it. EDIT: after listening to it again, I take it back. It doesn´t just bring tears to my eyes, it actually makes me cry.

    Sissel is not an opera singer, yet she's performed with Placido Domingo and José Carreras several times. Prince Charles personally requested that she perform at the Royal Variety back in 1995, where she also performed O Mio Babbino (plus another song in Latin, backed by a man's choir: ua-cam.com/video/zWIgjsNaMHU/v-deo.html) with a much stronger voice than here. Of course, singing an opera aria as controlled and delicately as she does in your video is far more difficult than simply belting it out. Mindblowing.
    And as for Titanic: Sissel performs the entire soundtrack throughout the film exclusively. Celine Dion only sings during the credits.

    • @leecowell8165
      @leecowell8165 Рік тому

      yeah that movie showcased her range on the low side which I doubt Celine Dion could reach.

  • @mammastenhjerte
    @mammastenhjerte 2 роки тому +18

    Great Sissel reaction. I will suggest that you react to her singing Grieg’s Solvei’s Song, I suggest you do a double reaction to her 1991 and 2019 version to hear her voice at 22 and at 50.
    I will give you 4 fun facts, more suggestions and some links.
    Fun fact 1) You most definitely have heard Sissel’s voice before as she is the voice behind the Titanic Overture form the 1997 movie.
    Fun fact 2) Sissel got her international breakthrough in 1987 at 16 when she sang as the interval performance act at Eurovision. She also sang the Olympic Hymn in 1992 at the Olympic opening ceremony.
    Fun fact 3) She very, very rarely does vocal acrobatic, because she simply does not need to. As Aurora and Angelina, she knows to not put all her tricks in every single song, she knows when to be subtle and when to belt, and as the other two she is a master in conveying feelings. Like Aurora and Angelina, she is also very humble with a soul that shines brighter than others.
    Fun fact 4) She is form Bergen, the same town as Aurora and Einar Selvik (Wardruna) and Ylivs (What does the Fox say) it’s impressive with a population of 272 000. Now you need to react to Kurt Nilsen, another world class voice form Bergen, and the only one ever to win World Idol.
    I can’t wait to see you react to her perfuming Pie Jesu (I dare you to not compare Sarah Brightman's facial expressions when singing Pie Jesu to Sissel's, Jesús alegria de los hombres (this one is spectacular and so different!) Solitaire, O Helga Natt (O Holly Night, in a sea of amazing singers perfuming this, her version stands out) Prince Igor, If I Can Help Somebody, Weightless, Where The Lost Ones Go, Quando Sento che Mi Ami (a duet with Jose Carerras)

    Hi Adam, I'm a big fan of AURORA, Angelina Jordan and of course Diana Ankudinova. With Sissel, that's three Norwegian singers. Do they have anything in their water or do they only have enough time to practice during the long winter months?
    I also like listening to classical music. And that's how I found Sissel years ago. This recording is more than 20 years old. That's why I use UA-cam. I'm glad if you also react to some of her songs. I love great voices. The genre doesn't matter that much. As long as the music is melodious.
    Have a nice weeek and
    Greetings from Germany

    Welcome to the world of Sissel! When I first discovered her, I was completely blown away. Not just her beautiful, crystal clear voice, but how she, as an individual, interprets everything she sings. It doesn't matter what genre she is singing.
    Her singing of Pie Jesu melts my heart. The last 3 notes in this performance - wah!: ua-cam.com/video/I1ghkPFb90E/v-deo.html

    Sissel's considered to be one of the best crossover sopranos. (SiSS-El - Strong S's, and emphasis on a clear and strong EL sound... like saying EL in Spanish, or ELectric )
    She's toured with Michael Shore and the Lord of the Rings concerts. She sang in the score of Titanic. Some of the parts where people believe it's Celine Dion, it's actually Sissel.
    She was featured in a RAP song "Prince Igor"... from the late 90'ies. I'd recommend you to react to it... just for fun....

    And look at her face when she sings, it looks so calm, no effort. For example when she sings O Holy night, it´s just as easy. Every singer I have seen look a bit strained when they come to the higher parts of that song, except Sissel, she just sings and her voice raises higher and higher without effort. She is in a class of her own, no doubt.

Surprisingly not one person mentioned her live performance of a song penned by Jon Lord of Deep Purple called 'Wait A While'. Jon Lord played the piano and she wore a traditional dress for the performance. If ever you want to hear singing perfection this is it.

    Nice Adam. Love it! Sissel is amazing. You probably dodnt know that Sissel’s voice is the sound of Titanic. Her voice is heard through the whole movie.Titanic suite ua-cam.com/video/esdPIEis4XI/v-deo.html live
    Sissel was very close to singing also the title song «My heart will go on»
    James Horner said the following:
    "When I finished Titanic, I had to decide on Celine Dion or Sissel. Sissel I was very close with, while Celine had known me since she was 18, and for which I had already written three movie songs. But that was before Celine became known and the filmmakers and marketers had not done what they should have done for Celine and the songs. So I felt I owed her a Titanic chance, but I could have used Sissel there. "
    Sissel would’ve been a huge world star if she got to sing that song (she still is), but Sissel has later said she was glad she didnt get it, cause she wasnt willing to give up her life and move to America, She had a small child then... and she was satisfied with singing the score through the whole movie

  • @ddermott2007
    @ddermott2007 2 роки тому +1

    I will second the recommendation of "Koppången". The very haunting melody was composed in 1998 by Per-Erik (Perra) Moraeus
    for his Swedish folkmusic group "Orsa Spelmän". The 1999 lyrics
    by Py Bäckman (Swedish and English) turned it into a modern classic Christmas carol.
    Sissel has recorded it at least 3 times. But the very best is the 2001 live concert version on the album
    "Sissel : In Symphony" . Sissel's beautiful voice is complemented
    by Kalle Moraeus's (younger brother of Perra) violin.

    By the way, on the same concert/album , Sissel and Kalle perform

    As far as I know, Sissel has had no classical training or singing lessons at all. She is pure natural talent, has perfekt pitch and a voice that no composer has strained. If so, no one else could sing it😉 As you say, she is in a class of her own.

    Very, very nice reaction. Whoever listen her for the first time can hear a best singer of this era. No matter what she sings. One of a kind. One and only. Ethernal. She can do whatever she want. I am mesmerized. She is, of course, Norway National Treasure, but also she is the world gem. And, I never heard any wrong note in her singing. Her duets with Pavarotti are timeless and magical. The ease of singing, always her beautiful smile, makes me happy whenever I hear her. And I listen to it often.

    Neither Sissel or Aurora has any singing education. Sissel sang in a choir from the age of 9, but other than that she is self taught. Aurora of course is totally self taught, signing and making music in secret for years. It makes one wonder what is in the water in Bergen where they both grew up. Maybe the reason they both sing in such a wide variety of genres is that they were never boxed in to one. As Sissel sang on a variety of tv shows it is interesting to be able to compare a teenage Sissel to teenage Aurora and Angelina Jordan. All three with the most astounding voices.

    I have enjoyed her extremely beautiful voice since about 1986-87. I never get tired of listening to her.
    She has sung many different genres. My favourites are the classical songs but I also enjoy when she sings pop and rock songs.
    Here are some of my favourites:
    "Pie Jesu": ua-cam.com/video/I1ghkPFb90E/v-deo.html
    "Vårvise". This song from 1986 or 1987 is the first song, I heard her sing: ua-cam.com/video/yGAsa8KIQjI/v-deo.html
    "Elia Rising". Here she sings with the Danish rock band Sort Sol. The way she sings in this song really gives me goosebumps - especially in the end of the song: ua-cam.com/video/4zQaEnThQmk/v-deo.html

      O mio babbino caro
      Mi piace, è bello, bello
      Vo’ andare in Porta Rossa
      A comperar l’anello!
      Sì, sì, ci voglio andare!
      E se l’amassi indarno,
      Andrei sul Ponte Vecchio,
      Ma per buttarmi in Arno!
      Mi struggo e mi tormento!
      O Dio, vorrei morir!
      Babbo, pietà, pietà!
      Babbo, pietà, pietà!
      English translation:
      Oh my dear papa
      I like him, he is so handsome.
      I want to go to Porta Rossa
      To buy the ring!
      Yes, yes, I want to go there!
      And if my love were in vain,
      I would go to the Ponte Vecchio
      And throw myself in the Arno!
      I am pining, I am tormented!
      Oh God, I would want to die!
      Father, have pity, have pity!
      Father, have pity, have pity!

    Sissel has plenty of non classical music as well. My favorite is Slow Down which she did with Mormon Tabernacle choir. It moved me to tears first time I heard it. I am am not religious, but it was really special. Even if you do not want to react to it, please listen, especially if you have had a stressful day. All the best to you, love your channel.

      I'm not a super fan of her music, but her singing is very special. And there is no rule without exeptions.
      Her live performance of Slow down is out of this world. She made an old ateist cry with a religious pearl.
      On of the best liveperformances ever.

    • @noriemeha
      @noriemeha 2 роки тому

      The thing about this singer is that Slow Down was a zenith performance when she was 50, almost 4 decades into her professional career. But she had had other high-water performances: Shenandoah, Solveig's Song, Maria Wiegenlied, Kappangen, Going Home, Wait Awhile... to mention some.

    I would really recommend some other music of hers as well. Not «just» the classics. The pop song «Where the lost ones go» - a song she sings together with Espen Lind (which composed and wrote the music) - ua-cam.com/video/vtK3Ve7ReFk/v-deo.html (rare version, great chemistry between them on stage, but there also exists other live recordings, as well as a music video version).
    Your first pronounciation of Sissel was almost right. I saw someone else in the comments explain you say it similar to sissy, just siss-el (both syllables emphasized).

There is one song that I have listened to so manny times and that is Slow Down with her and the Tabernacle choir! She got a standing ovation from a jammed packed arena! This is a must watch!

    What an exquisite and powerful singer! Never have I seen anyone singing classical opera looking right at the camera and totally relaxed .. eyes, face, neck, throat .. nothing looked like there was any kind of work going on .. and the sound that comes out of that relaxation is soulful and clear and completely magnificent. I could watch her and listen to her forever. How often have all of heard this song .. and how could it be that it was brand new and soul changing. Thank you, thank you Sissel. (I think it's Sih-sell .. accent on the first syllable.) Thank you Adam!

    • @leecowell8165
      @leecowell8165 Рік тому

      I pronounce her name with the accent on the first syllable. She sings so effortlessly. Although she is a Soprano she has such tremendous range you would not expect her to reach these high notes so effortlessly.

    • @leecowell8165
