"Hearing Sissel in concert is probably akin to what viewers felt when they heard Barbra Streisand the first time on the Ed Sullivan Show. It's a stunning, magnificent voice (used, incidentally, for vocal fills on the Titanic soundtrack). This video serves as an introduction to Sissel. Long a star in her native Norway and across Scandinavia, she's only a hit song away from taking the United States by storm. Each song is accompanied by a short interview and footage or her native country. The show was taped at the Oslo Spectrum in 2002 and Sissel is accompanied by a 54-piece orchestra, an all-female youth chorus, an eight-piece band, and some musical guests. Her song selection cuts across from standards like "Over The Rainbow" to Norwegian folk songs to pop-tinged songs from her recent CDs. Sissel herself fits the stereotype of the Viking woman, a statuesque, well-chiseled icy beauty who has a slight accent speaking English. In a pop world of no-talent warblers who need electronic enhancement and flashy production, Sissel is the genuine article. With any justice, you'll be hearing a lot more from her."

"When I saw this concert on PBS, I was stunned. I was doing some surfing and came across this concert quite by accident. I sat very still with my mouth hanging open unable to believe what I was hearing. Her stage presence is incredible. She makes love to her music, the camera, and the audience. A fantastic talent. She has sang opera in Italy yet she can belt out a pop tune with ease. America is lucky to now get to know Sissel!"

This is an excellent DVD

"The review from Denmark really didn't do justice to this DVD. This DVD is wonderful collection of music from a live performance. My family(ages 25 to 75) loved every moment of it. It definately left us wanting more. Sissel's performances are treasures that should not be missed."

"Simply amazing, I first heard her during a concert that was shown on PBS last year. I am totally in awe. Her voice is so pure and captivating. I now own 4 or 5 of her cd's. She is a good looking woman with an a voice to match."
