[@sisselfan]

Check out fantastic video by Sissel kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2m9eamtabGZmtk

[@windstorm1000]

If you didn't cry after listening to this, you've either got a stone heart or a glass eye. She's a fabulous singer--perfect diction, breath control, phrasing--and HEART. Norway should be very proud of her--and this beautiful work that touches hearts.

[@eneto7785]

I just regret for lost so many years before know Sissel, her divine voice and her amazing beauty.

[@kasha1932]

SISSEL'S VOICE IS PERFECT FOR GRIEG'S MUSIC...KIND OF MOURNFUL, YET VERY VERY SWEET.I FIRST HEARD HER SING AT THE OPENING OF THE WINTER GAMES IN L(?). I WONDERED...'WHO IS THIS BEAUTIFUL SINGER?' LATER A NORWEGIAN FRIEND TOLD ME AND I THOUGHT THAT THE WORLD SHOULD HEAR HER.

[@litterussianmouse]

My Most Favorite Singer ever!

[@annminnema6351]

Lovely Sissel!!!

[@oleflogger6828]

Her voice is crystal clear and beautiful to hear. I first heard this when I was a boy in 1950 in Brooklyn, New York. It was the closing theme to the live TV show I Remember Mama, starring Peggy Wood. Decades later, I saw the movie with Irene Dunne and fell in love again. But, it was several decades before I learned that Våren was written by Edvard Grieg! Now, I play it on my own instruments (Mark VI Tenor sax, Kessler Model 2 Bass Clarinet, and Buffet-Crampon R-13 Clarinet. It's beautiful no matter which instrument is used. Whenever a fellow musician hears me "warm up" with Våren, I get compliments.

[@y.s320]

I love this song. really really beautiful ✨✨✨

[@BronxBornBroad]

I was one told that Grieg wrote this song ro mourn a friend who died very young. What a beautful tribute! Her voice is LOVELY!!

[@iloneens]

I love this. She's the best singer in the world.

[@juanimoreno6872]

HEAVEN SENT !! BOTH, GRIEG AND SISSEL !!

[@HOMOBALEARICUS1]

Wonderful Grieg, and Sissel.......wonderful interpretation.....her expression helps a lot to enjoy the song. when she smiles.......it comes the spring too

[@Wayne55125]

Who are these two that don't like this video. Sissel's voice is beautiful and rich.

[@kurtsvensson4416]

Våren av Grieg och sjungen av Sissel är för mig friskhet och förväntan😍

[@tenorschofield]

Such a lovely voice; this is a soprano with the talent and look for been one of the most important ones!!!.I like her very much. She touches my soul...Bravooo!!!!

[@sayz25]

Thanks for uploading this - I'm currently learning this song myself and trying to get my tongue around the Norwegian isn't easy but it's great to hear someone with such clear diction! Great help, thanks! :)

[@ninalib]

Grieg sung by Sissel.... enchanting beyong words!

[@tonylim2480]

Your beautiful voice moves me and I cannot help listening to most of your songs. God bless you, Sissel

[@54spiritedwill54]

Beautiful music sung by a wonderful singer!

[@vito10vito]

I love as sings Sissel and his voice as a whole with this beautiful music.****** A big hug Antonio

[@mariashouse5492]

One of the most beautiful voices of the modern day. I have learned a lot from listening to her.

[@eneto7785]

Sissel singing this divine song by Grieg let us feel in the paradise. Superb.

[@Ramaz1969]

I didn't know about her. She's fantastic. Really the best version.

[@paulprocopolis]

Touchingly beautiful - thankyou!

[@schumachersbatman5094]

I really love how deliberate the pianist is with the presses for some reason.

[@mikehorton6225]

Edvard Grieg would undoubtedly be ecstatic at the stunning performance of his music.The purity of her golden voice is heightened only by the intense expressiveness and sensitivity to the music.

[@Johann-sp3il]

Du hast ja so Recht - Gruß aus Deutschland, Klaus

[@eneto7785]

Grieg is certainly smiling from the heaven

[@Johann-sp3il]

Oh ja, ein SUPER Trio - Sissel , Grieg und die Norwegische Landschaft

[@tenorschofield]

My heart flows up to the ligth of her singing, ...oh what little is left and how much still for all!!!. But I am a drain glass, ready to stop filling up. Thanks to Sissel for giving me joy now...when most needed!!!

[@georgealexander8661]

SISSEL...No one ever like her and never will be!!!

[@walui1958]

When she sings looking at the camera, she hypnotizes me, with her angel voice and celestial beauty ! Beautiful, very beautiful! Tks, Sisselfan...as I would like to be in Bergen, tomorrow, for listen in the room Grieg. but that is impossible. Again thank you, and also for the translation! Walter (Brazil)

[@HOMOBALEARICUS1]

Wonderful Grieg, and Sissel.......wonderful interpretation.....her expression helps a lot to enjoy the song.

[@KeithRoyFranklin]

Sissel just adds to the beauty of Greigs Last Spring.

[@jwilliam2255]

Sissel is often criticized by armchair opera "experts" for not displaying enough emotion when singing classical songs. These people don't know how to listen or watch. Her ability to express emotion through tonality is incredible and together with the expressiveness of her face, she communicates the emotion of her songs more clearly than any "real" opera singer I have ever heard.

[@PerLarIva]

Восхитительно: и голос, и музыкальное сопровождение! 🌅

[@jrakg]

This well-produced video, subtitles provided, brings to a world-wide audience a beautiful singer, a beautiful language and beautiful music. - John Austin, Australia

[@keeaaa2145]

This is amazing! I think l can listen to it all day long..

[@hjd832]

Learnt this in English,... at a very good primary school(Dulwich Hamlet in the 1960's).....Very beautiful musically & lyrics.....

[@Puchuchan]

@ketillflatnefur the reason she's smiling so much is because she's doing what most stage singers call "flirting with the audience". it's one of the most important things about singing on the stage, dragging everybody in the hall into your performance. which is also why she never really rests her eyes on one set thing (except when she's looking straight at the camera), she keeps moving her line of sight. it's one of the first things most singing teachers teach you, actually.

[@Thetrackrecords]

Wonderful. Both the music and the voice are heaven sent.

[@marhomist]

Beautiful!Beautiful!Beautiful! As Always Everything What Is From Sissel!

[@JACQUES0011]

Sisselfan, It's impossible to find words to describe the magic flowing out out of her voice. With her own style and tune, Sissel may sing in any voice and will always be captivating and fascinating. Pleased the most, and, naturally, thankfull for remebering me when you uploaded this master piece. Your friend, Jacques

[@johannrabie2639]

This is so exceptional......I find it hauntingly beautiful and calming! 😊

[@karazaffuto1825]

I love Sissel’s classical side❣️

[@eurodanceheaven2143]

The best singer in the world.

[@user-wf6qb3gi7n]

So nice I love it. ❤❤❤❤

[@user-wf6qb3gi7n]

Lovely ❤❤❤

[@zdevol7]

Je to andělský hlas- Sissel je pro Griegovy písně momentálně nejlepší interpretkou- dokáže vyjádřit náladu písní .... nádhera ! Díky

[@paulostroff99]

Breathtaking song and singing!

[@zdevol7]

Překrásná Griegova píseň a v interpretaci Sissel - zkrátka úžasná!!!

[@rogermoran7462]

The voice of an angel at 33.

[@mikedrippe]

Fantastic!

[@themadrona]

Saw her live in Gothenburg 02/11. She was awesome!

[@MScJorgePoveda]

Un detalle que llama la atención en Sissel es la pureza de su voz,sin afeites,sin modulaciones extra,directa, y sin esfuerzo alguno . Pese a que su voz es pura y cristalina mantiene un volumen adecuado sin que se le note tensión en el aparato fonador. No en vano Sissel se encuentra desde hace mas de una década en los principales escenarios deleitándonos con su voz.

[@pascualortiz]

gracias por mandarme este vidio, que voz y que velleza,nunca había escuchado música de ella hasta muy recientemente.

[@windstorm1000]

haunting is the word for it. tusen tak.

[@user-wf6qb3gi7n]

This is what I called class real class beautiful I love to singing this nothing else❤❤❤😊

[@windstorm1000]

Unbelievably moving.

[@9UaYXxB]

Really beautiful translation. Great poetry!

[@Ramaz1969]

@furmitten publicity engine? Well, I don't really know what you're talking about, because I was just surfing on KZbin to find different versions of one of my favorite compositions and I found this version. I didn't even know who Sissel was. I can say that this is the best performance I've ever heard. It goes right through my soul an makes me cry of joy. This is all what music is about and I don't care about theoretical stuff about some 'nuances, shading and power'. Sorry.

[@prestongarrison8964]

Sissel is just the best.

[@jekyllmd1]

Maravillosa soprano!

[@simonorway9901]

Voice beautiful

[@Aldebaran3339]

Very Beautiful I really enjoy!

[@hjd832]

Here are some of the words........ Winter is over, the snow melts away Sweet Spring comes with gladness. Sunshine falls warm on the young hawthorn spray; I walk with my sadness. Waters once frozen are flowing to the sea, The rivers are roaring. All that I love for the last time comes to me, My dear larks are soaring. Though I must pass yet the clear voice of a bird Welcomes a newcomer. He will rejoice in the songs that I have heard Of sunlight and summer.

[@Randonization]

Hogy lehet valaki ilyen szep es erös ? Szeretlek !!

[@valllhalla]

tears in my eyes...

[@choirboyfromhell1]

Her best yet.

[@prestongarrison8964]

Sissel is still the best!

[@TLChrist]

Once more I got to behold winter Fleeing before the spring; Hackberry with trees covered by blossoms, I once more saw blooming. Once more I got to behold the ice Flowing from land, The snow softening, and waterfall into river Buzzing and bursting. The green grass I once again got To behold with blooms. Still I heard the spring fowl sing, To sun and to summer. Once more I received the blessing, Of hearing the cuckoo. Once more I wandered the field Where they drove the plow. Once more I beheld and was warmed By the wind and the meadow; To behold the earth like with longing chest, Sighing in bed. Spring cloud drifting there to and fro, And cloud banks billowing. Then thunder struck from the clouds, And cracked and rolled. I had yet to see heat shimmers Dance upon the hills. Butterflies fluttering and flying off Where blooms stood gathered. All this spring life I once more beheld, Which later I lost. But I am melancholy and ask myself must: Might it be the last? Let It so be: I had much beauty, To enjoy in life. More I received than I had deserved, And all things must end. Sometime I will in the springtime haze, Which sates my eye. Sometime I there will find me a home, And swim and bathe. Everything that the spring greeted me with, and the bloom I plucked. I thought It was the spirits of the forefathers, That danced and sighed. Therefore I found between birches and bark, A riddle in spring. Therefore the sound from the flute I carved, Seemed to be weeping.

[@Wayne55125]

Additionally, she makes me proud to be of Norwegian heritage.

[@johnderham2829]

This was a duet in Janette MacDonalds penultimate film in 1948 which she sand with Jane Powell

[@johnderham2829]

[@LearningtheHarp]

I love Sissel's sweet pure voice - so unaffected and innocent sounding. The other recording I love is Alison Trainer.

[@tinekeandersen4329]

Men jag går over angerna

[@alanhall8286]

I took furmitten's advice, and listened to Karita Mattila version. While very nice ,I enjoy Sissel much more. Powerful voices were developed before microphones, and purity was lost.

[@eliseartelt9488]

Try the Kirsten Flagstad version - she was a Wagnerian soprano with a lyric voice. I grew up listening to her sing this. Sissel’s version is excellent as well.

[@KeithRoyFranklin]

Dronning Sissel, Queen of Norwegian sound.

[@missbeauty58]

Beautiful song, I love the music by Grieg, I love this song so much and Sissel is amazing. 5 stars* Love Carina XXX

[@eneto7785]

At 3:18 you can just go flying to heaven. Amazing!!!

[@jwilliam2255]

@xSolveEtCoagulax A beautiful description of the most beautiful vocalist ever.

[@jwilliam2255]

@furmitten Interesting that a page or two down in these comments an actual operatic tenor thinks she has, "Such a lovely voice … . I like her very much. She touches my soul...Bravooo!!!!". Other ignorant people like Placido Domingo and Bryn Terfel have made similar comments during their multiple performances with her. But now, thankfully, we have you to set us straight … Bravo!!!

[@zdevol7]

Celý život miluji písně E. Griega a v tomto provedení - úžasné!!

[@WCM1945]

WHAT A WOMAN!!!

[@tomlin1312]

聽了起雞皮疙瘩,很能沉浸於文藝氣息中 !

[@sfkeating]

Her voice.

[@anettsudland]

@achantus1 Most Southeast-Norwegians are proud that we have different "languages" here in Norway. The part some "hate" is the fact that we are tought both in school. It is difficult to learn two such similar languages for many people. But, yes, she is singing in Nynorsk, a constructed language based on different Norwegian dialects, and not Bokmål, wich is mostly based on Danish, and that is the language we mostly use in Southeast-Norway. No one really speaks either one of them.

[@tocksfors222]

I think Grieg should be very proud!

[@roofbolterx5]

Nomenclature fails when trying to express the beauty of this creation.

[@BahriKabakcioglu]

nice..

[@Русскийхохол-р6з]

Волшебный голос.

[@peterikarlstad]

Glad 17:e maj!

[@boskoglund]

Min fina sötnos jag älskar dig.🥰😍🤩😘😋😋😋😋

[@olafurbjarnihalldorsson3139]

Syssel er saa god synger at man kan ikke ligne henne med noen annen.

[@williamsanders7221]

Helt riktig. En vakker kvinne med en vakker stemme.

[@erial80]

Ella es muy hermosa y juvenil, e interpreta con sentimiento , pero... hay que escucharla con los ojos cerrados....Su belleza y el brillar de sus ojos están tan lejos de lo que expresa la letra de Varen ¡¡ Erial80

[@pauloandrade8389]

Queen of Norway.

[@paulostroff99]

CanadaPisces-My pleasure my friend James.

[@paulostroff99]

Glenmed-My pleasure. I knew that you would love it. I try to send you only IMHO the best.

[@ModernTwenties]

I found the Norwegian to be a breeze when I had someone sound it out for me and tell me what the different characters sounded like. If you can find the sheet music, I suggest trying that and writing the pronunciations in.

[@noriemeha]

all good singers can do different things with their voice -alter it to suit the occasion. Here is a perfect example: her voice seems to come from outside of her, a suspended tone somewhere above her.

[@windstorm1000]

I agree--there's different ways to interpret songs and make them real.

[@schumachersbatman5094]

4:18 That Piano though.

[@SuperWinterborn]

Yes.

[@Tarisplace]

Did you listen to Kirsten Flagstad? There are two versions on the net, the one of the younger Kirsten Flagstad is just unbelievable. I could't find anything more touching, and its not instead of skill but because of it. Just my personal opinion.

[@byunghoonnoh5141]

Yes.1948 version

[@eneto7785]

Sissel voice is absolutelly unparalleled bright, crystalclear, heavenly

[@dsfysdg]

Hei. Jeg er fransk og lærer meg norsk. Jeg fant teksten av denne sangen men det ser ut som en gammel måte å skrive norsk og jeg kan ikke oversette den. Kan noen oversette den til bokmål?
