[vlastaseibertova]

Sissel has crystal clear voice!! Beautifull girl. I did not know about her. I missed so much!!

[svenska555]

[valhalla1427]

[RustyCraven]

I can't say enough about the beauty of her voice.

Ray & Judy

[THORSEN907]

See her on Classical Crossover. Vote for her!

[VoidKnightsc]

Why is this masterpiece hidden under some noob called "Connie Talbot"?

[Curragao]

..so beautiful... both the song and the singer....

[VampireDiariesOmg]

she is beautiful :)

[clifford50062]

what a prev to just sit and listen

[MrGunterguerrero]

For the Robert Wise's movie ' The Sound of Music ', Rodgers and Hammerstein composed this wonderful ' Climb Every Mountain ' (1965) here masterly performed

by Sissel...I became her fan !

[duncann]

@MrGunterguerrero Rodgers and Hammerstein actually wrote Climb Ev'ry Mountain in 1959 for the broadway musical Sound of Music. Hammerstein died shortly after in 1960. Robert Wise's movie only came along after the stage version had become a resounding international success.

[Northman1066]

This sublime performance was even not a studio recording - but live in concert!

Beyond description.

[emmycutes]

She would be perfect for maria:)

[Nonie46]

@emmycutes No, not Maria but Mother Abbess.

[araratclimb]

hello

[IBM288]

@sisselfan ABSOLUTELY SUPERB ! Phenonimal talent and voice. Vocal quality that is RARE and EXCEPTIONAL! Unbelievably gifted.

[sastri0918]

It brings tears to my eyes. So beautiful.

[Curragao]

..still no Helsinki in the list....

[rasfi1]

Michael Jackson's Mother found him singing this song and he sang the song in his School "Talent Show"

it means its the first song that michael sang it

[ThomasMcKennieLtd]

This version is incredible. So well managed and intimate. I enjoyed this.

[delora33]

Anything Sissel does, she does well.

[jleb22]

Very dodgy note at 2:33!

[jwilliam2255]

@jleb22 I'll tell the sax player.

[kengyinchok]

Impeccable :)

[Avalita07]

I-LOVE-THIS-FREAKIN-SONG!!!

[AngelVoiceFromHeaven]

A fantastic perfomance by the Golden Voice of Norway, Sissel. I love this song and I love Sissel very much. This is definitely one of the best renditions I've ever heard of this song!

[1979marty]

I think she has a nice voice to listen to in general, very pure and gentle.. but I really think she shouldn't sing soprano pieces or sing high notes.. she's just not that good at it. She should sing the songs that really suit her voice because then she sounds like a real pro.. nice try though.

[blackbeasthamish]

@1979marty She is a natural soprano. She hits the high notes absolutely spot-on and unlike many sopranos doesn't have to sound as though she's busting a gut to get there. Give me her innate talent over that of an overtrained opera singer any day

[jwilliam2255]

@1979marty You're either intentionally trying to start an argument or you're deaf. If anyone ever had the innate ability to sing this song it is Sissel. @blackbeasthamish is exactly correct. She reached the high notes on this song as she does on all her other songs: effortlessly. Had there been video on this clip you would have seen a lovely smile on her face through the most difficult parts ... no straining, no grimacing, just beauty.

[LaPetiteRose1]

Diese Stimme , ein Traum!

[1979Brigitte]

aiaiai the final note was a bit flat.. but it's still a live recording..

[primohomme]

@1979Brigitte

You are right, I think the EE vowel is very difficult for most singers, it has to be a rounded EE instead, like an umlaut.

[Yellie876]

she has a pretty voice, but i dont think it has much power. this song requires a lot of power behind the voice

[blackbeasthamish]

@Yellie876 I think I know what you are trying to say, but I believe she is able to hit the notes with just the right amount of power and pitch. Too many singers, especially some of the better known opera singers tend to rely rather too much on power of voice alone and this can have the effect of detracting from the music rather than adding to it. I think Sissel has got it just right

[Trishy172001]

That was amazing so beautiful!!

[Lexigiggles]

One of the best renditions I've ever heard! It hasn't been murdered with vibrato.

[SuperLoverHero]

F A N T A S T I C ! ! !

[paulostroff99]

Sensationally sung by one of the very best!

[shellburn1960]

Is she singing EV-wy?

[philster61]

@shellburn1960 .

Yes.Its a Scandinavian thing. They also tend to hold S as well. Listen closely to some of ABBAs records. You can pick it up on a few songs.

[Imala54]

Very good ^^ i like this one.

[beadsstitcher]

MY EYES ARE FILLED WITH TEARS!!!

[rubyness2530]

Gives you goosebumps and sends shivers up your spine..... I just love it

[rubyness2530]

We really do need to get Sissel & Andre Rieu together! What a perfect combination that would make......

[TheMusicOfSissel]

Sissel is the finest soprano of the world today. Her voice is like a songbird singing. Soft as velvet, very clear and so pure. Her voice can reach high above the skies and deep inside our souls. A very gifted and extremely talented singer of our time.

[iloneens]

love it. :)

[peppr131]

loved this song since watching SOM as a kid. sissel sings it so well.

[beriflor]

sissel has a great voice and range, but her voice isn't as rich and flowing as kanawa who i would rate as the finest voice alive today

[PinkkElephantt]

If i'm going to be absolutely honest i think the first few lines are not so solid, but after that she is insanely good, i like this more than the version i was looking for =)

[SisselMyLoveForever]

This is fantastic!!! I have never heard anyone sing this song better than Sissel!!!

[sparkwheel]

Hauntingly beautiful ...

[u4ism]

Sensational! The best rendition after the original. Hats off to her!

[12rosebud12]

Would you be familiar with Shirley Bassey?

[MOGGS1942]

@12rosebud12 Basseys version of this song is quite remarkable.

[fgarcia53]

Woman, Woman, Woman.....

[ilbaccio24]

I like this better than Christina's too.

[Kevinpicks]

nice god bless you

[guddynatasha]

yet another SOLID evidence that singing doesn't need to be so over the top. this lady knows how to convey messages with her voice. absolutely brilliant. my fav version.

[EidahageFeroe]

Omg, one of the best versions I've ever heard.. Kinda like a soprano/more operatic enya. <3<3 thanks for uploading

[HCFan39]

The Sound of Music is one of my favourite musicals and I love each and every song

of it. Sissel does a beautiful job by singing

this. Did she sing Maria too ???

[sisselfan]

Yes, Sissel played Maria in the Norwegian version of The Sound Of Music in Norway in 1989. :-)

[miakara]

I like this one better than Christina one. Good job.

[chriswalla]

I love this rendition!!! Way to go Sissel!!!

[MaddTink]

this is really good !

[AuntThebe]

Wow! Best rendition I've heard of this song. What a sweet, sweet voice.

[halbappie]

Awesome!

I'd like to see the live movie.

[tmmvideo]

Hey sisselfan - very nice. Thanks for posting this. I loved it when Julie Andrews did it, and I don't say this to start some war of words, but I like Sissel's rendition better! I'm also not a Sissel expert but I have listened to a large number of her songs and I must say I think she delivers this one, from about 3:00 to the end, with more power than I remember about her others. Does anyone else hear it this way? What a beautiful lady, inside and out; what an incredible voice! ~~ Tom

[dawnspond]

Wow! Fantastic!!!!!

[pennymusicMAma]

sisselfan, 5*****! Beautiful songstress & song!! - p. enggrav
