My favourite Christmas Hymn is 'O Holy Night'. Having never heard it in any other language I was blown away by Sissel's version when I heard it. No surprise that this is now my favourite interpretation of the Hymn.

What a unique and mesmerizing Voice -- What an OVERWHELMING Talent - What a fantastic and ETHEREAL performance !! Her voice just sparkles in its crystal clear, bell-like quality. Sissel appears here on stage like a Viking Princess of old - radiating Grace, Beauty, Charm and Charisma. Especially near the end (time 3:00 on), she looks like a much-beloved queen blessing her adoring subjects -- which, probably, isn't too far from reality !! 🥰🥰🥰 The modesty and humility that she showed forth during this entire concert was VERY impressive, considering her OVERWHELMING talent !! Truly this is one reason why she is so loved by her audience and blessed by God. It is a RARE quality today, especially in the entertainment industry !!

I've fortunately been listening to her for over 20 years now.. and all through those years it never ceases to amaze me how clear her voice is along with her tremendous range and smiles. no other singer on this planet can match her in my humble opinion. I like many singers (mostly female) that sing their songs better than any other arrangement. but overall Sissel is tops as she sings so very many songs good or better than just about everybody else. this is one of those but my favorite is "You'll Never Walk Alone" (here on KZfaq as well).

I was listening to a big-name pop singer star doing a cover of this noble song. That star is much more famous than Sissel and is American and an industry and I stuck out the performance until the end yet found I was in desperate need of hearing Sissel sing it. I like different takes and interpretations of old standards. I like jazzed up classics even if only for a change. But when a great song is treated like a lavatory towel, then I thank God that there are the preservationists like Sissel who serve it up simple and honestly letting the song be itself and respecting it with a great voice.

I think the swedish version is the best and never better than when Sissel sings it. Josh Groban sing it very good to. Here's a short history of the song: "O Holy Night" (French: Cantique de Noël) is a well-known Christmas carol composed by Adolphe Adam in 1847 to the French poem "Minuit, chrétiens" (Midnight, Christians) by a wine merchant and poet, Placide Cappeau (1808-1877).

This song was written in France in 1947. "Minuit, chrétiens" is originale title I just found out. I'de always loved this song, it inspired me to write my own christmas story long ago.

When I was a teen, 25 years ago I was in love with Sissel, I dreamt of her night and days. Suddenly she cut her hair, painted it red and dated danish Eddie Skoller. I still loved her indeed and her music, but I had to face she wouldn't be the love of my life :-) Well, actually she is, but at the distance. She looked at me once as I walked by her on the street in Oslo. Ohh magic moment!!

If this is a voice one hears only once in a life time then I have more lives than an alley full of cats because I sometimes listen to her several times a day. I have several Sissel favorites, including this one. She is in total control of her art here, pleasant to watch, wonderful to hear. I have started collecting her CDs and DVDs and have purchased copies for friends and family. I wish that the producers who work with her would reissue some of her early recordings. I don't mind buying them used from third-party vendors if that is the only way that I can get them, but it seems only right that she profit from her work.

During my lifetime (and I've been around for 77 years now) I've not heard another female artist that matches her.

Thanks for posting Sissel's wonderful version of this song! What could be more beautiful than this? I can think of only one thing: Sissel's own recording of the song from 1987. At the age of 18, her voice was not as developed as today, but perhaps even more angelical and pure. In the version featured here, she sings in the key of C, while the 1987-version is in the key of Eb! Still just as easy she manages to bring her heavenly voice up to the highest note, a high Bb! Truely amazing!
