- Sissel, the international singing sensation from Norway, is widely regarded as one of the finest and most talented sopranos in the world. Her crystalclear voice has made Sissel a national institution in Norway. Sissel has sung all over the world, selling over six million solo albums. She contributed the haunting vocal tracks for the soundtrack to Titanic. She has been doing great duets with singers like Placido Domingo, Charles Aznavour, Bryn Terfel, Jose Carreras, Russell Watson, Neil Sedaka and Josh Groban. A very remarkable voice you will only hear once in your lifetime.
The origin of the Christmas carol we know as Silent Night was a poem that was written in 1816 by an Austrian priest called Joseph Mohr.
On Christmas Eve in 1818 in the small alpine village called Oberndorf it is reputed that the organ at St. Nicholas Church had broken. Joseph Mohr gave the poem of Silent Night (Stille Nacht) to his friend Franz Xavier Gruber and the melody for Silent Night was composed with this in mind. The music to Silent Night was therefore intended for a guitar and the simple score was finished in time for Midnight Mass.
Silent Night is the most famous Christmas carol of all time!
Back in about 1990 my wife's Auntie sent this on tape from Norway. There was no name for the singer, and since then I have been searching for her. My wife's family could not be bothered to find out from her relatives in Norway, and so I have puzzled ever since as to who this beautiful voice belonged to. Such was the impact that I never forgot, and even remembered what she sang, that being Silent Night. Last evening (20 05 2021) I clicked on to someone I had never heard of, and recognised the voice immediately. Imagine finding her after all this time. Over thirty years, and I am so happy.
A lovely story and with a happy ending. Enjoy.
She really has a choice gift and talent. Pure sweet music with this message of truth brings comfort peace and strengthens our faith and determination to endure life's difficulties.
Dear Mr. Graham Long, this beautiful woman with a wonderful soprano voice is Sissel Kyrkjebø - born in Bergen, Norway.
Her voice improved as she matured.
BEAUTIFUL SINGER.
That's not human.
Nobody can sing THAT like that.
This is out of this world.
It's an angel of God.
The best silent night so far...wow. thank you...from Canada
If there is a better version of this song anywhere in the world, I've yet to hear it.
Christmas in Vienna 1994
BEST EVER rendition of this classic song. I❤ it.
Спасибо, Андрей Николаевич! Взаимно.
Это «Ночь тиха, ночь светла», кажется. У нас в костёле поют. Спасибо. Прекрасное исполнение.
The purity, the clarity of her voice is simply astounding! The best "Silent Night" ever.
absolutely!
I agree. This gives me goose bumbs! The most beautiful voice for this old song. Sissel is great, her voice is so versatile and always pleasant sounding.
Ave Maria van peter benoit
Saglasien.
no
WOW!! What a beautiful voice and each word enunciated with such clarity. She IS sensational!
ACTUALLY, AT 1:20 WHEN SHE SANG THE WORD "PEACE" THAT CONCLUDED THAT STANZA, SHE DIDN'T PRONOUNCE THE ENTIRE WORD, DROPPING THE "CE"
JUST SINGING
"PEA"...
THIS ERROR SHOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED BY ANOTHER TAKE.
NEVERTHELESS, THE PERFORMANCE WAS OUTSTANDING, RIGHT UP THERE WITH THOSE BY KAREN CARPENTER AND DEAN MARTIN.
The most beautiful, pure voice I've ever heard.
80 years of listening o this beautiful Carole and it never gets old. Merry Christmas.
Yep. I agree with some of these guys. She may well be the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. Sissel Kyrkjebo!
The most beautiful version of silent night i hsve ever heard. Brilliance from Sissel.❤

I HAVE NEVER, "NEVER" HEARD A BETTER RENDITION OF SILENT NIGHT LIKE THIS ONE!

Love to all. This is a wonderful version of this beloved Christmas carol. Wonderful!
Sissel , A voice sent from heaven , BEAUTIFUL , Thank you , God bless ,
Beautiful voice and very nice Silent Night by this wonderful singer
Sissel is truly blessed by God---magnificent voice, stunning looks and and a truly beautiful smile.
A voice from the Heavens. Truly amazing.
When I hear this carol I always think of the trenches of the first world war and how sad and tragic for those poor kids frozen to the bone at Christmas and listening to this timeless carol, Their lives hanging by a thread.
Sissel's rendition is the best by a mile, brings tears to the eye - beautiful.
Beautiful, calming with a heavenly voice.
When she switches to that higher octave at 03:24 her talent really shines through!!!
Absolutely astounding is what it is!!!
Tranquil! Beautiful! Enchanting! Mesmerizing! Stunning! Pure angelic voice! Dear Sissel!
i read the comments of the disapprovers who say she can't sing opera.. she never claimed to. she always said she was a middle of the road singer. but that doesn't reduce her in the eyes of those who can hear a remarkable voice and sit back and enjoy it. I don't care if she looked like the back of a bus... she has a voice that makes me forget all pain and be a child again... this is a chance not to be missed... listen and love it.
Anyone criticizing Sissel is either an idiot or a Justin Bieber fan
If Sissel is the middle of the road, I want to be on that road
The perfect combination: the most charming Christmas carol, a magnificent voice of Sissel and her adorable and lovely presence and performance. Nothing is comparable with this. Sissel is just unique and her angel voice is so fantastic!!!
My wife and I flew to Iceland to see her at the Harpa in Reykjavik December 11. Thank you for an incredible 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
One of the best songs ever written sung by the most incredible voice that I have ever heard. This should touch the heart of everyone who hears it.
Christmas in Vienna 1994
An outstanding performance of one of the greatest Christmas hymns ever written.
Sissel manages to "tough the spot" with the tenderness, passion and a great voice!
Fantastic!
Just beautiful. Unsurpassable. Otherworldly. God Bless You Sissel from Ireland.
Sissel's rich voice is appropriate for this "most famous Christmas carol of all time."
Sissel can sing this to me any day of the week, any night of the week, at any time. I would melt.
I have been listening to this song my entire life, many decades, performed by more artists than you could count and THIS is the most beautiful, heavenly version I have ever heard. Just gorgeous. What a voice!
+BOB I agree with you . . but I cannot help to wonder - about 600 000 people watched this amazing version of Silent Night, but only about 2 000 like it? Just strange
+BOB
It is now months past Christmas Season yet I find myself drawn to listen to this gorgeous performance virtually everyday. It is is just so beautiful...it has an effect on me I find hard to describe...I often find myself just sitting in silence well past its' finish. STUNNING!
Anna I simply forget! her voice is so mesmerizing. and you know when you hear it you'll never hear another with such crystal clear clarity. I also LOVE her presentation. Always smiling and you know you're in the presence of a very special being on this Earth. Yes, many a tear is shed by simply listening to this angelic voice.
One of the finest voices I have ever heard
Sissel is the best of the best a credit to Norway to have such a Treasure
Absolutely beautiful. No one can come close to her beautiful voice.
...still listening even after 7 years & still in awe!!!
Outstanding!! Such a pleasure to hear Silent Night sung so beautifully. Certainly one of the most gifted voices in the world.
Thanks~!!! Hallelujah!!! Amen forever and ever~!!!
The voice of an angel. Crystalline and pure...
What an incredible voice. Superb indeed.
This is the best interpration of Silent Night that I have ever heard in my whole life.
No.1Xmas song Halelujaha
The crystal clear voice of Sissel has a magnetic attraction when the bells ringing the season of Christmas ........
This is pure joy for anyone - especially around Christmas
Sensational!
I return at Christmas time to listen again & again to Sissel's Silent Night...awe inspiring more especially at 04:00 with her high pitch and clarity... "sleep in heavenly peace....!" Wooow!
Not sure of the comment! Not a fan of social protocol. I’ve listened to this a thousand times. Including every month..........
Hayride 👍 Every month is a great month in celebrating our ✨King, of King’s,✨ as we listen to Sissel’s
Exquisite, Angelic, Renditions.
Sissel is a forerunner of the angels in heaven here voice is beautiful here smile angelic and she just gives you a sense peace
Melodious and lovely. Tremendous voice. Thanks to Sessel and orchestra, especially blending with flute
Very cool voice, take you to another world.
Звук очень круто, это приведет вас в другой мир.
I first heard her when she sang at the opening ceremony at the Lillehammer Olympics. I lost track of her until I found her on utube.......what a voice!!
Absolutely the most beautiful voice ever, and the face of an angel on top of it. Sissel is one in a billion. There will never be another like her.

I could not agree more. I just wish she did more songs in English. Regardless of the language though, English, Norwegian, Latin, Italian, et al, I love her voice...It is more beautiful than any instrument man has ever produced.........I have been around a long time now and I do believe she has the most
beautiful voice of any human being I have ever heard. I am grateful that I have been given the joy of experiencing it.
Pocatello Cowboy
right on there. well I suppose in the states we get what we got but I agree. if she did more in English the rest of them around here may as well find another line of work.
i could not agree more
If she's one in a billion, there are six others like her right now......
I'm in total awe - how high can she go? Her range is incredible and seemingly without strain or effort.
Avec plaisir 🎶🎈🎶janine
She sings like an angel. God bless her.
I have heard the origin of the song just now for the first time in all of my 74yrs. i look at this song totally different now. He had no organ to play this song on hence the stronger meaning of "Silent" is imposed. this makes today very special to me. May GOD BLESS US ALL!!
Superb is the only thing I can say
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.......Goosebumps are gathering quickly......Love this.....Very pure and Angelic.....Heaven sent indeed.Thanks so much....KenOrlando, Florida, USA
sissel is so beautiful and her singing silent night is simply wonderful.
So Beautiful, Sissel has such a wonderful voice. My Heart Melts at hearing Her singing it. OH so many Memories, too many to mention. It reminds me of my Beautiful Mother who went to Heaven when I was 7 years old.
There is NOTHING worse than that, Richard. nothing. a child at that age losing the person he loves the most in this entire world. I could not have survived that in one piece. and now hopefully you are at peace after hearing this angelic voice.
I wholeheartedly agree she has the crystalclear voice if not the most beautiful voice which she has. Of all the sopranos I would choose her voice as nearest to that of an angel(if there was one)
. I am a loyal fan of the super Renee Fleming but when it comes to "Silent Night", this is the best version !!!
I'm sitting here at my dining room table this first Sunday of the Advent with my Advent candles wreath lit while listening to Sissel's beautiful voice singing - Silent Night.
I agree, Pocatello Cowboy... The words are also perfectly clear every time! Love this and wish I could have experienced her wonderful talent in a concert...
Her voice is so sweet and gentle.
I agree. That was awesome!
This song is so beautiful, it always makes me cry and think of beautiful days gone by. Thank you my lady.
Sissel, I am your fan. You have an amazing voice!!!
When I hear her singing it's like an Angel, truly superb, it gives me back my faith In christianity, because only God could give somebody a voice like hers.
TheGrowler55 And Sissel treats herself and her voice for what it is; a Sacred gift from the BELOVED. There is no doubt but she is “a Angel soothing our hurts here on earth.” It is my hope and prayer that am able to experience her in person before I’m given my wings and fly away to my eternal Home. THE OREGON SVENSKA.

What utter BS.
Hon sjunger som en ängel! Utmärkt! Jag älskar det här så mycket! ♥
Love is in the young ladies voice and singing.
Beautiful beyond words.
What a gift from God is the angelic voice of Sissel!
Sissel raises our consciousness to our heavenly Father with this most beautiful
interpretation of the beautiful Silent Night. Her voice is unlike any in this world and truly such a gift from our God. So thankful that she shares it with us! Thank you, Sissel!

Que se haga SILENCIO en ésta y las demás NOCHES de PAZ ...porque un ÁNGEL sin ALAS.y con voz CELESTIAL,que llamamos SISSEL, ha comenzado a CANTAR !!!
Thankful that I have lived in a time that I am able to see such beauty in a person and voice.
George E Fryer once again I turn to Sissel I guess I am besotted with her no wonder what a magnificent clear and beautiful singer, in this troubled world it brings it home that peace must prevail thank you
Pieseň plná Lásky a Pokoja. Prekrásna. Ďakujem za zdieľanie .
Most beautiful rendition of Silent Night I've ever heard. Her voice translates me to a peaceful realm of beauty and hope. And I can remain lost there by playing her over and over.
Such a tremendous beautiful voice, so perfect. Excellent singer.
my favourite christmas carol, sung by one of my favourite singers.
Beautiful.
Omg so beautiful what a voice
Her voice is like an Angel
nejkásnjší vánoční píseň v tom něřném a jemném provedení této zpěvačky mne jímá až k slzám.
I hear an angel singing.
I have listened to many performances, but this is second to none. Korean singer Sohyang came closest to her and that's all. Sissel is a special level, the only one of its kind.
Beautiful angelic voice. So in love 🥰
This is the one.
Beautifully sung -- a great rendition -- voice of an angel! Thanks for posting and God bless Sissel.
Absolutely beautiful
If she knew how much I listened to her on UA-cam, she would send me a bill.
same here LOL
I'd probably pay it.
Me too!!!
Absolutely Beautiful, magnificent voice
That key change in the middle... AWESOME!
Wooow, beautiful song sung by a beautiful women, with a beautiful voice !
Her voice is so lovely....
A heavenly voice - one of the better interpretations
Each year as Christmas nears you sure will get to hear this song, but when I get to hear her sing it's as if it's rendered by an angel.
This voice must come from another planet ...
she sings with such clarity because she sings so effortlessly. just an absolute angelic voice is the result... truly a gift that she has found that we must all must share...
Really like her voice; like angel in the sky...
One of the most beautiful voices ever heard. Just a pity that a lot of her videos is static and does not show her singing. The best voice from any singer. Sissel Kyrkjebo you ate a star thousand. Thank you for the beautiful song and for your angel voice.
Beautiful woman, beautiful voice.
