Sissel in Concert: All Good Things

Rating:
Summary: DVD is unfortunately a reproduction of a TV portrait
Review: Dear All
After having seen this one I feel that I have to say that what could have been a great DVD is just not a good one. I have seen Sissel in concert both in Denmark and in Norway so I know that she's good in concert. But unfortunately the producers have cut the concert to pieces and replaced her comments with some portait so it does not give the right impression whatsoever of the kind of person you wil meet if buying a ticket

Summary: A stunning vocalist - One hit song away from U.S. stardom
Review: 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.

Summary: This is an excellent DVD
Review: 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.
