Product Description
Music critics have called her voice "ethereal," "pristine" and "captivating." Throughout her career, Norwegian-born singing sensation Sissel has performed with a variety of artists whose styles range from folk to jazz and from rock to hip-hop. She has sung for royalty and shared stages with superstars such as Celine Dion and Sting. But for Sissel, singing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square was "a match made in heaven." In her first-ever Christmas album released in the U.S., Sissel has collaborated with the world famous Choir to offer a dazzling collection of music for the holidays.

choral work with COSMIC class guest artist April 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
the mormon tabernacle choir and orchestra perform weel and sing xmas songs you won-t hears elsewhere but the addition of sissel as solist in some classic and typic nordic xmas carols make the product an absolue MUST try hearing "mitt hjaerte alltid vanker" or the danish song celebrating the pureness of the snow and you will understand what i mean : what a VOICE she has !!![she makes fables even of gregorian songs ]
LOVE THIS CD! February 9, 2008
I love the Mormon Tabernacle CHOIR, and think this is one of their best CD's yet. I love the arrangments by Mack Wilberg, he is the KING of sacred music arrangments...love Sissel's voice, love that Shane Warby got a spot too...great CD captivating...especially love track #2 Wexford Carol...fantastic. LOVE IT!
Beautifully recorded less well-known holiday songs January 21, 2008
These are wonderfully recorded songs from a content standpoint as well as sonically; the CD was up for a Grammy in the latter category. There are a familiar Christmas songs in beautiful arrangments including a definitive "Silent Night," and great Norweigan songs sung by Sissel that provide a scandinavian glimpse of the holidays.
I'm in love! January 9, 2008
I had tickets to the Sunday morning concert of Sissel's appearance with the MTC, but a snowstorm and the fact that I had never heard of Sissel before this, made me stay home. Big mistake! Huge! I saw the performance on TV and was stunned by the opening processional of Bring a Torch..., (obviously from Mack Wilberg's fertile mind, with a penchant for great choral arrangements and pageantry--I spent five years singing under him at Brigham Young University), and I knew how big a mistake I had made.
When the CD and DVD came out, I bought them both. The DVD gives you the whole concert.
I have fallen in love with Sissel's ethereal, but full voice. Her interpretation of "In the Bleak Mid-Winter" is stunning. It is one of those pieces you can go your whole life and not hear. And to top it off is her Vitae Lux, and then "Like an Angel Passing Through My Room." A piece I have never heard before, but is now one of my favorite songs of all time. It brings me to tears.
The CD and DVD are now essential Christmas listening. But just wait for next year, a CD and DVD with the King's Singers! Talk about a musical match made in Heaven.
a stunning album, absolutely beautiful January 6, 2008
i love all chrismas music , but this ranks right up there for being incomparable just like kitaro's " peace on earth " christmas cd. this is a beautiful and stunning album... perfect in every way, its no wonder why its been nominated for a grammy. tracks 5 and 11 are worth the price alone, it takes to a differant place in time and you can listen to it any time of the year the carols and renditions are superlative and one of a kind. magnificent just like the dvd is colosal and memorable in every possable fashion. A plus, a thousand times over.
