Summary: Sissel is a fabulously shining "Northern Light"
Comment: As always, Sissel excels with her wonderful voice. Never a song that you don't like hearing over and over again. Especially beautiful is her duet with José Carreras in "Quando Sento Che Mi Ami" (can be watched on YouTube).

Summary: What A Find!!
Comment: Amazon had a video clip of Sissel singing a track from this CD. Had never heard of her until then, what a find! She is one of the few vocalist that truly is versatile and able to sing a wide variety of styles. All the music contained in this CD is well suited to Sissel's voice and showcases the depth of her maturity. Added this CD plus three more to my library.

Summary: Sissel has arrived
Comment: During this last Christmas I was watching PBS and saw a singer that brought me to tears. Her voice was so pure and angelic, I could not believe what I was hearing.
Sissel has the voice of an angel, her voice is literally God given.
I went out and bought the Christmas concert on DVD and CD and spent weeks listening to it almost exclusively.
She not only had a great voice, but you kept wanting more and more.
I was hesitant to buy this CD because I was afraid she would not capture the spirit she did with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
I finally broke down and bought this CD, figuring that if the songs were about Christmas and winter, maybe it was worth buying.
What she has put together here is nothing short of a masterpiece.
If you watch the Northern Lights DVD, she sings again several songs she did with the MTC. I chose to buy the CD first, wanting to hear the new songs she had recorded.
Hymn to Winter is a great song about true love with poignant lyrics.
When will my Heart Arise is an English version of Mitt hjerte alltid vanker, which she states is her favorite Christmas song. I loved hearing the lyrics in English as opposed to Norwegian like she sang with the MTC.
Going Home is another great song. The entire CD is excellant and certainly worth buying.
What you have here, is the finest soprano voice in the world, She will Captivate you with your voice and the music will haunt you like you have never heard before. Sissel is not well known in the United States ( or at least not as popular as she is in Europe. I used to think Celine Dion on Titanic was a great voice. Sissel puts Celine Dion to shame. Now I listen to Titanic with new ears and hear her incredible voice. Sissel is on the verge of being very big in the United States........It's only a matter of time. This could be the break she needs.
This is for people who love Classical, or Traditional Folk music from other countries than the United States.
I recommend this CD to anyone who loves music at its purest, and its finest..........Enjoy
