This is so powerful - SISSEL - GOING HOME Reaction - First time hearing

[@williamtetrault1300]

This woman IS the class of any field of singers! I’ve heard many good and great singers, but Sissel is in a class of her own!

[@chereecargill355]

I want this played at my funeral. I love this. Mother's there, 'specting me. Father's waiting, too. Lots of folks gathered there, all the friends I knew.

Sissel has one of the most clear soprano voices I've ever heard. She always takes to another place. I'm so glad you had a chance to hear and react to her. I hope you will listen to her on a regular basis.

[@ziggymarlowe5654]

Oh Harri, I felt the same way. I was thinking of all the family and friends that are gone, how blessed I was to have them in my life and how much I miss them. I've heard this song many times and I still get teared up.

I've had two Near Death Experiences, and a Shared Death Experience. This piece, more than any other work I know best describes that marvelous day we go home.

Thank you or sharing this beautiful performance. This was taken from her concert “Northern Lights“, which is full of songs that you will want to hear. Check out that concert. Especially, the duet wih Jose Carras. It is special right up to the very end. Also, “Ready to Go home” is another touching song. So many wonderful performances by Sissel. Also, “Wait Awhile” before the Royal Prince performance in Japan. Sissel’s version of “Somewere Over the Rainbow” bumps Judy Garland’s version into 2nd place. Any of her “Norwegian Day” performances are worthy, also, of your time. Study Sissel well, you will be so glad, if you do. She is a rare talent and very special person. Enjoy and share her with others who appreciate hearfelt quality vocals.

Thank you for reacting to the Norwegian national treasure. I enjoyed watching your reactions of her. Hope you will be reacting to more of Sissel's performances. She is one of a kind. Try react to her performing songs like "My Tribute", "Pie Jesu" and "You'll Never Walk Alone".

[@daleennis3140]

She sings just like an angel,she is called Norways voice treasure..You should hear her sing Slow Down. Or the song like an angel passing through my room.

[@stephenqualtrough7322]

Thank you for the great reaction Harri. I requested it for the moving music . But yes you are so right about funerals Harri. It was played at 2 Presidential funerals for Presidents Rosevelt and Gerald Ford

[@edmc1000]

She has the voice of an angel ! If this is the last thing I hear in this life I will go will a smile on my face .

[@ocheltree1]

Sissel has some other ones that just take you to another place, Pie Jesu, Mio Babbino Caro and Shenandoah (which I think you recently heard Tennessee Ernie Ford sing). Lovely voice. Stunning.

Sissel Kyrkjebo one of the greatest female singer of all time. Sissel singing like an angel from heaven! 🌠🎤 You needs reacts to (Sissel Kyrkjebo & Plácido Domingo - Fire in your heart). One of the most beautiful songs ever! ❤ You also needs reacts to (Sissel Kyrkjebo - You´ll never walk alone.) Amazing cover version. 🙂

[@s4dreamland671]

Very very sincere reaction Harri.

[@daghugowilhelmsen5660]

Sissel is one of the worlds best ( if not the best ) female soprano singer. In heart she is a choir singer and I think she is the only one who have song in front of The Tabernacle Choir 3 times. This song: Slow Down - Sissel (2019 Pioneer Concert with The Tabernacle Choir) kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3fIaWeLlMSeqpo got an endless standing ovation.

[@markthomas2577]

Sissal appeared in a rap video with Warren G called The Rapsody in which she sung excerpts from Prince Igor by Borodin ...... it just worked !

[@Cynthia...]

Nice one Stephen Q.

[@khilden1]

They played this at my fathers funeral 😢

[@einark6568]

Wonderfull reaction Harri ! You know, Sissel was featured to perform the now legandary and beautyfull background song with Celine Dion in the Titanic movie ? She is something else🙂

[@susanwenner8738]

I was going to mention this but happy that you did.

[@geoffreycarter3981]

Love the setting to Dvorak's New World Symphony here. Nicely arranged!

[@kirkhall2099]

wow

[@lastrada52]

The music was written by Dvorak & one of his students William Arms Fisher later wrote the poignant lyrics to his music. The longing melody from the second movement. Now a classic. Fisher called the song, "Goin' Home," and published it in 1922. Fisher died in 1948, but the song lived on. The definitive version was performed beautifully by Jan Clayton (The Mom in the original Lassie TV series). She sings it in the 1948 Olivia deHavilland movie "The Snake Pit." An insane asylum at the time. When all the inmates of the asylum suddenly join to sing the song with Jan is a powerful scene in an old film. Sissel sings it well, but...she's singing almost exactly as Jan Clayton had all those years ago.

[@paulgarratt2634]

The tune is taken from the New Worls Symphony by Dvorak. Another powerful version is by the great American singer Paul Robeson, who gives the authentic spiritual feel.

[@laszlotorok930]

Please listen to Charlie Landsborough he has a beautiful voice and some of the Irish ballads he sings will bring tears to my eyes ! Simply magical ! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏✝️

[@laszlotorok930]

Please Listen to Charlie Landsborough He is a country singer and Irish ballads with a silk like voice ! He is just magical The voice can bring tears to my eyes ! 🙏🙏❤️

[@pauldover1403]

The author of the words which were set to Dvojak's "From the New World", at the start of the second movement wrote: The Largo, with its haunting English horn solo, is the outpouring of Dvorak's own home-longing, with something of the loneliness of far-off prairie horizons, the faint memory of the red-man's bygone days, and a sense of the tragedy of the black-man as it sings in his "spirituals." Deeper still it is a moving expression of that nostalgia of the soul all human beings feel. That the lyric opening theme of the Largo should spontaneously suggest the words 'Goin' home, goin' home' is natural enough, and that the lines that follow the melody should take the form of a negro spiritual accords with the genesis of the symphony. -- William Arms Fisher, Boston, July 21, 1922. Sissel sings a lovely version of it.

I don't think many people outside Scandinavia have ever heard about her. She has been touring and doing plenty of tv-appearances in mostly Scandinavia but also in America and and other European countries.

[@noriemeha]

Also Japan.

[@rickysikes1631]

It is an old spiritual.
