In my country back in '86, this was our first sight & hearing of Sissel.

[@larsrons7937]

Sissel's smile and posture always make her look so joyfull and proud.
1986, this was when I first got to know of Sissel, when our friends from Bergen sent us a tape.

Sweet sixteen & lovely as a rose.

The national anthem of bergen

[@larsrons7937]

Really? I think this song was on the cassette tape our friends from Bergen sent us in 1986. A recording of Sissel with Bergen's Girls' Choir.

@@larsrons7937 Yes, it's the 'national anthem' of the city of Bergen. Ironically ofcourse.

More than 200 years old danish/norwegian lyrics. Quite odd.

+++++++

[@eckpolmick5080]

Effortless to the highest tone.

[@mademoiselledusfonctionell1609]

Easier for a natural soprano than for an alto, but...
Her voice is like silver.

[@larsrons7937]

So beautiful.
But once one of hour crystal glasses broke when we played Sissel loed on the stereo. Her voice was worth it though.
