[@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.

[@waltersergio2996]

​@@boniboni5868I agree.

[@andreybystrushkin1874]

Sissel гениальная певица, она не просто поёт ноты или играет роль, она проживает каждый миг в песне и передаёт душу. Это так редко и ценно в артистах. Во многом благодаря голосу Sissel фильм Кэмерона "Титаник" растрогал сердца миллионов людей по всему миру. Поистине Sissel одна из лучших певиц всех времён и народов.

А мне нравилось в исполнении Нетребко тоже. Конечно, намного ниже по голосу, но тоже абсолютно великолепно!

[@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.

Per Ibsen was a Danish poet, and this is from his long poem about Peer Gynt. He was really an ass. Solveig waited for him until they got old. When Peer came back, she still loved him. I love it. Edvard Grieg put music to this poem. It’s the best in classical music and poetry ❤

Last August I was in Oslo and visited the Henrik Ibsen museum. I learned there that Ibsen wrote the play Peer Gynt, and Grieg, somewhat reluctantly, wrote music to that play. I was a fan of the music of Peer Gynt and Grieg for a long time, but never knew the play by Ibsen. One is never too old to learn... 😉. Anyway, I stumbled upon this performance of Solveigs song, sung by Sissel, and what can I say: history, musicality, talent and beauty came clashing together 💖

[@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...

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!

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.
