[@boniboni5868]

Вы абсолютно правы! На мой взгляд это лучшая Сольвейг.

[@alyonapavlova3252]

Она поймала основное в Сольвейг , наверное то, что хотел Григ , только определение этому трудно подобрать. Нечто вроде блаженной в любви, вот ей можно говорить что угодно про ее возлюбленного, и ее саму как угодно терзать, а у нее в душе радость, ни тени сомнения, одна любовь. Он может придти и ее убить, а она все равно не будет сомневаться ни в своей любви ни в нем. Так некоторые верят в бога, их ничем не смутить, они улыбаются. Потому что не знают даже, что такое сомнение. Абсолютная вера. Как дети.

[@saxojon]

The best rendition of this piece, by far. It's almost ridiculous. Technical mastery aside, I've heard a lot of good versions, but Kyrkjebø _lives_ in the language and that makes all the difference. It feels personal in a way that is impossible for people who are phonetically trying to emulate the language to reproduce. ...and the sass. My God. A legendary performance.

Sissel is perfect for this song. Not many operatic sopranos can sing not just with feeling but with "soul" like Sissel does here.

[@saxojon]

Besides being absolutely stellar at what she does, she also knows the language and it carries through the preformance. I've heard other fantastic sopranoes do the piece and, as a Norwegian myself, I can hear that they are just mimicing the sounds rather than singing the song. This just takes it to another level.

[@davidshelow5334]

One of the most beautiful melodies ever.

[@gregorystone]

She has an amazing ability to present the song as if she were Solveig singing prayerfully and wistfully for the prodigal Peer. She carries the fullness of the note/pitch without overpowering it with forte/fortissimo.I’ll have to re-read Ibsen’s rendition of the story, but as I recall, Solveig’s song is sung twice: when Peer leaves the village, and when he returns, with hope against expectation, and collapses in contrition and exhaustion onto Solveig’s lap. Solveig’s song is the key to interpreting Peer’s real identity and purpose despite his misguided adventures and misguided worldly successes (and excesses). I can almost see Solveig singing her song with soft, forgiving, unshakable grace as Peer falls asleep on her lap at the close of the story. Sissel’s presentation here seems to capture this masterful closure with such tranquility and assurance...

[@mervyngraham897]

I agree that this is the best version of the song and Sissel is the best singer for the song. I also adore Anna Netrebko's and Barbary Bonney's version as well.

[@larsvbundli1740]

What about marita solbergs version? :)

[@Lamproly]

I do think Sissels clear voice fits the innocent character of Solveig much better. It also fits more the overall feel of the story and scenes, which take place in a northern village, not an urban opera house where people worked on their voices for years. She sounds very natural here.

[@romarub]

One might say that Sissel's rendition is earthly perfection, while Marita's is heavenly perfection. Both are excellent, and one's taste will dictate their preference.

Our relatives brought us a cassette of Sissel’s first album, a collection of Christmas songs, in about 1985. I was in Norway in 1990-1991to study and serendipitously was able to catch her performing in Bergen. We also saw her near our home when she performed in Seattle in 2004. She is still quite young here and not at her peak but this is a breathtaking performance. In hindsight stunning, really, because she was already amazing but continued to diligently develop her voice and stage presence. What a treasure to see someone so gifted not take it for granted but work hard to improve. Tussen takk!

[@e.conboy4286]

I quite agree. Have you her recordings with Placido Domingo? Very beautifully performed.
