Sissel's voice is so pure and pitch perfect. Amazing. At one time I used to sing this song but can't anymore, it was wonderful to hear it sung far better than I ever could have. Beautiful.

She sings Summertime almost like Dame Kiri Tekanawa. But Dame Kiri did it in a higher note. Sissel did very well in this rendition. I am so happy to have discovered Sissel, her song Adagio entranced me !

[azlector]

She absolutely owns this song.

[linnie221]
