- From Sissel in Concert ~ All Good Things
I especially appreciate the violin and the heavy "thumps" of the base drum at the back, and most of all the voice of Sissel, which make this my favourite rendition of Shenandoah
The song is an old American song, many stories behind it.
It reminds me the most of a Confederate soldier longing
to go home to his life and love in Virginia.
I can never get enough of Sissel and her beautiful and compassionate voice. I'd love to see one of her performances.
i usually don't comment on videos ,but this time i don't know i hv to comment ...
this voice touched my heart ...its so pure ......
My enjoyment, is that her vocal clarity is unmatched, even in 2023.
I agree. Been listening to her for many years now and she is in a class all by herself. Not only does she have this clarity and tremendous range its her overall tone as well. She is also SO expressive in presentation. Just an incredibly beautiful voice AND if I may add I'm certain a beautiful person from within as well. The only other female singer on this rock that comes close to her was Judith Durham (that we sadly lost last year). However they are so devoted to their respective countries that I doubt that they ever met. It is truly sad that some of us cannot live forever but these are two of those souls.
Fantastic version! Sung so well. The violin player is a great addition very well played!❤👍👏
My ancestors settled in the Shenanndoah Valley, Va....those mountains are magnificent to me. Love your voice and song
Sissel is beyond compare. Norway was my son's favorite port, when he was in the navy. Said the people were very nice.
The words and voice coming from her mouth realy cought me.. this could cheer you up and make you feel good no matter were u are.
It always cracks me up to see any negative comments in regard to performances such as this. I wonder what has that person done lately or ever that was worth a hill of beans. Some refuse to feel beauty even when it is laid bare before them. For that may think I show a lack of tolerance or do not appreciate our differneces; I do am glad for them.
I could say Norway is my favourite COUNTRY, after my own homeland, of course. Warm people (a bit shy, I would say), but polite and kind. And Norway's nature, well, is a piece of paradise on Earth.
Zufällig "entdeckte" ich dieses gefühlsvolle amerikanische Volkslied "Oh SHANNONDOAH" auf you tube. Gesungen wird dieses Lied von der hübschen und sympathischen norwegischen Sängerin SISSEL. ich lernte dieses Lied beim Englisch-Unterricht an der Bundeshandeslakademie iNNSBRUCK im Jahre 1966 kennen. Vorgestellt wurde uns dieses Lied vom damaligen Engisch-Professor Dr. Karl Judmaier. ich singe dieses Lied auch heute im Jahre 2019 im Alter von 69 Jahren noch gerne.
I've never heard of this performer before now; found her while searching for this song. Her clear, pearly high notes are piercingly beautiful. I have seldom heard a modern, popular singer with more purity of tone, without the airiness of pop singer sloppiness. Bravo!
DER HELLSTE 🌟 STERN IM MUSIKGESCHÄFT. MÖGE SIE NOCH SEEEEEEEHHHHHRR LANGE LEBEN UND FÜR UNS ALLE SINGEN. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Found her for the same reason.
I wish these songs went on all day. Thank you Sissel.
I agree that this is her best performance of this song. She just opens up her throat and belts out those "away"s and lets her voice have free rein. Glorious.
Every time I hear her sing this, I get chills. It's been one of my favorite songs for years and she sings it beautifully.
i had to sing this song today at my schools concert. she is so much better than we were. haha.
As someone who lives in Virginia, I have visited the Shenandoah many times, I love Sissel!
Her singing melts the hardest Hearts. She is a blessing to mankind through her beautiful voice, kind and gorgeous face. God compacted many attributes into one beautiful soul.
Very beautiful voice and song. This song reminded me of the movie Shenandoah. Jimmy Stewart the main actor in a western movie and during American civil war. Jimmy and his family are looking for the younger son. And a tragedy happened to the family while on their way of looking and at the end of the movie. The younger son came home safe with the help of a black young friend. Very emotional movie and this Shenandoah song helped the movie more dramatic and more interesting...
The river places you sing about are about the beauty of my American home..
Vithu Kichodhan: This song is among the very best ones of her singing.What more could one ask another than her beauty. A beautiful lady.
I am an American red white and blue of 100% Norwegian ancestry.
I couldnt be prouder of both countries
Omg The Best Voice In The Business Love Her Voice Beautiful Princess XX
I once lived near Middlebrook VA, in the Shenandoah Valley. Breathtakingly beautiful area.
This ought to be a teaching video for singers
Lovely rendition of this song. Amazing voice.❤
Just wish Sissel would tour the UK..😘
My Wifes Father Passed Away Early Yesterday Morning. And Then For Some Unknown Reason. i Found Myself Thinking of This Song This Morning. So I Had To Come and Find A Suitable Version of This Wonderful Song. i Believe I Just Did
The song is a wonderful thing. The very theme is classic. Your comments are right to the point. People has differences in every corner of this old world. As the Germans say, Prima!
Hear the song again. Good remarks.

I've been a fan of this Woman since before Titanic and I can honestly say she ranks amongst the very best in History. What a clean, silky beautiful delivery. My god what a voice. If Angels sing, I guess there is one on Earth called Sissel.
73 yr old music lover just found best female voice ever. ljh
I find no doubt if her fantastic voice really can be compared with the color , clarity and the sparkle of a super diamond only found in the deepest part of the earth
Wow!!!! Human beings are capable of such amazing and beautiful things are we not?
A lovely Lady with a lovely voice ❤
What a voice. I'm amazed every time I hear her sing.
She's Flawless
Meravigliosa nei cambi di tonalità, una voce che non ha ricevuto quanto meritato.
This is a song I learned to sing in the 3rd grade attending public school in SE Los Angeles County. I remember how this song chilled me by it's beauty. I wanted to sing this, and indeed I did join the class, with the best of my ability.
Queen Sissel
as an "American" , i have to say, this is the absolute best version i have ever heard of this old song.
Amen to that I never heard of her until a few days ago. What a blessing it is to find her
A classic ballad exquisitely sung by one of the greatest singers of all time.
Everytime I come to TH-cam I stop here to listen to this outstanding voice. I can think of no song sang any better than this one.
Gives me goosebumps listening to this beautiful lady with such a beautiful voice.
What a voice, what a face - Blessed by God !!!!!
God had nothing to do with it, it GENES.

Always a spoiler in every group. You must be just endlessly fun to sit across at the dinner table. 🙄😔

Listening to her sing is receiving a precious gift! Thank you Sissel! You sing so beautifully, it makes the tears come up! We are from the Gudmundsen- Dahl & Qualsett families of Bergen and Northern Norge. Kathy
Sissel has the purity and eternal beauty of a mountain lake in her voice, the clear fresh air and the peace you get in your heart watching the clouds floating to their unknown destination. Her voice and this incredible beautiful folk song widens my soul. This I feel this moment. Thank you so much for the video! Uli
Lovely song
Beautifully said...❤️
Just listened to Lium Clancy sing this great song, and thought it was for a male bass voice. But this is superb as well.
dsanw p
I couldn't agree with you more ! She's got a God given talent .
this is the first time i have ever actually wanted to comment on a video. This is by far the best version i have ever heard of this song. I sang it with my chamber choir back in high school and have loved it ever since. She makes this song!!
I hve to sing this song fro my school concert w/ the high schoolers in the next 2 to 3 weeks. i just luv the rillin river part soo much.
She is not a singer, folks, she´s an angel!
You sang so beautifully. I brought back very happy memories of my Primary school days when my one and only precious teacher taught us the wonderful song. Very sad day for me as I still remember her as the best teacher in the world. Sadly, she has deceased.
Fantastic voice, great composition, excellent camera work, a romantic atmosphere, and a great video.❤🤝👍
The purest heavenly voice.
That's very appropriate, Lover, as it may have originated as a rowing shanty of the French-Indian voyageurs, canoeing down the Missouri River early in the 19th century. Incidentally, John Jacob Astor, the American fur magnate, said that he would trade any three of his rowers for one voyageur. They were men of mythic proportion. God bless your heart for your song. It's my favourite. And Shenandoah was a magnificent man. His great grand daughter, Joanne Shenandoah, is a singer living in the Onondaga or Oneida nation of the Iroquois Confederacy, or Six Nations, as the British called them.
Heard this song sung so many times but this rendition is the best I've ever heard !!!
fabulous, takes me home, marrows my memories ...
I must confess I've never even heard of Sissel before this morning, when I stumbled across this presentation by accident. What a beautiful young lady, and what a strikingly pleasant style and voice. I've already bookmarked this version of Shenandoah......possibly the best I've ever heard. Sissel has a new fan!
It is just wonderful to have these Magic guys that you can rely upon :)
STUNNING..!! Just STUNNING....
I love the way her voice and the violin mix...it gives it such a mystical sound.
I can't listen to Sissel enough.
The voice is a dream, i could listen to her all day long.
i have to memorize this whole song n sing it in front of 500 kids!!! STAGE FRIGHT!!! :0
The voice of an angel! 👍*shivers*
Perhaps the best performance of "Shenandoah" I have ever heard.
Beautifully sung
The most besautiful voice in the world, and I just found her this past summer.-- quite by accident, just cruising around on youtube. What an amazing gift and stunning presence!
i found her too
Beautiful
I love your daughter? Great song! Pure tones and awesome control..a real singer!
Perhaps the most beautiful female voice I have heard ever!!
She is so beautiful as well!
Sissel is absolute perfection. Brava, sweet lady!
A wonderful and hauntingly beautiful performance! I was especially taken by the violin interlude. Thanks for posting.
When I first hear Sissel sings this song, I was stunned by both her angelic voice and her fantastic character. What a gorgeous woman!!!
Sissel is so beautiful but to see her and hear her sing one can't help but fall in love with her. Such a beauty and such a talent.
It's like she takes my heart in her hands,warms and gently massages it.
What a great voice. After seeing her on TV I just had to have one of her albums. It includes this great song.
wow.. this song is one of my favorite for a concert band arangment.. but she really makes this song come alive.... its awsome.
I have listened to this song a hundred times since I first heard it last week. It is as awesome as the first time I heard it.
Sissel ! what glorious voice.
This American folk song became over time an anthem for sailors worldwide longing for home. It is not unusual at all that she learned it from a Norwegian sailor who probably heard it from sailors all over the world in his life along with many other folks songs from all over the world.
Goosebumps, thank you Sissel.
Sissel had en Exceptional voice of angelical sounds....her charismatic style and unique beauty make us all feel relax as we hear her voice.. Sissel is an icon for humanity's cultural values...!
i am singing this song in my Choir class at school this year... this is my favorite song we have done!!
Sissel the best of singers accompanied by the violin compliment each other brilliant

Just found - Beautiful voice (and pretty). 79
Oh, in any case her version is one of the finest I've ever heard! Fantastic!
I dont care what nation she comes from, her vioce is amazing and enchanting, one of the best versions Ive ever heard.
My three year old great great grand daughter stood in amazement at this, the best singer in my lifetime.
We played this song in my band class. It's amazing, with our without lyrics. Beautiful!
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Just discovered Sissel, she is AMAZING.
Wow! I have always loved this song. I used to play the harmonica and would sometimes play this song.
I have never heard this artist sing this song. It is very beautiful.
Still one of my favorite songs & singer, of course❤
BEAUTIFUL- Oh I wish I can listen to her live in concert. The tone and purity of voice is amazing...what a gift to listen to her. Thank you for posting
...why didn't I hear you before, where the devil was I? To love music, to get into music, it's not important to know the lyrics, notes, notation and chorus or even the singer's name. Good music itself gets us to love it.
Absolutely stunning! What a beautiful interpretation of this classic song. Truly amazing. The violin is superb also. BRAVO!!!!
in my opinion, she has the prettiest voice i have ever heard. I mean the beauty of her face and voice is just mesmerizing. OUTSTANDING!
now thats a singer BEAUTIFUL
