Sissel - In The Bleak Mid-Winter
Loading...
Uploaded by sisselfan on Dec 21, 2008
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, Taro Ichihara, Bryn Terfel, Jose Carreras, Russell Watson, Kurt Nilsen, Neil Sedaka and Josh Groban. A very remarkable voice you will only hear once in your lifetime.
"In the Bleak Mid-Winter" is a Christmas carol and the lyrics were written as a poem by English poet Christina Rossetti before 1872. It was published posthumously in Rossetti's Poetic Works in 1904 and became a Christmas carol after it appeared in The English Hymnal in 1906 with a setting by Holst.
The text of this Christmas poem has been set to music many times, the most famous settings being composed by Gustav Holst and Harold Edwin Darke in the early 20th century.
In Norway this song is called "I En Steingrå Vinter" and can be found on Sissel`s latest release "Strålande Jul" from 2009.

My Favourite Carol, & beautifully sung,by Sissel,Thanks ~ Arthur

It is just too stagy and above all not the right pronunciation.
-
THIS IS FROM CHRISTINA ROSETTI IT IS NOT HER SONG
-
Oh boy, I am in Love with Sissel,, God made a beauty.
-
Lovely voice! I love this pieces and she made it beyond enjoyable :D
-
Sissell is absolutely beautiful, and her voice was used as a guide for Tahlia and Ingrid when they started to sing. Check my channel for the "Seltic Sirens" and their Christmas songs (and other) to check Australia's purest vocalists

-

-
This is beautiful and she has a beautiful voice, my only complaint would be why she chose to miss half the song out. Theres two verses missing.
