Sissel Kyrkjebø - In Dreams - 2016

Sissel Kyrkjebø performing "In Dreams" by Roy Orbison at a TV-show from Gothenburg, Sweden in August 2016. "In Dreams" is a song written and sung by Roy Orbison on his 1963 album In Dreams. It was released as a single in February 1963 and it peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 charts at number 7.

Sissel, the international singing sensation and national treasure of Norway, is established as one of the world’s leading crossover sopranos. Her angelic and powerful voice has made Sissel a national institution and she has sung all over the world, selling over ten million solo albums. She has contributed haunting vocal tracks for the soundtrack to Titanic and The Lord of the Rings, and has been performing duets with singers like Charles Aznavour, Andrea Bocelli, Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo, Mario Frangoulis, Josh Groban, Brian May, Neil Sedaka, Bryn Terfel and Russell Watson. In 2005, she was knighted by the King of Norway, as the youngest ever to receive this honour. And in 2006, her album 'The Spirit of the Season' with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir went to number-one on the Billboard Classical Charts, and received a Grammy nomination. A very remarkable voice that only comes once in our lifetime.

One of the greatest un-known singers in the world. She sounds good singing anything. The world is missing out on her voice.

Some evenings are my Sissel evenings. I sit in my chair and listen to her sing until bedtime. She brings pleasure to me when I.hear her sing.

Norwegian people should be proud of having such a wonderful singer

Carol and I have been fans for years. Sissel's music never gets old, we never get tired of it. She has a voice that will be enjoyed and remembered for many years to come. Always on the look out for a new "performance".

I’m in love with her singing and never want her to stop. Yes, I am selfish.

Ok, we all no that Sissel is an incredibly Beautiful Woman, with an Incredibly Beautiful voice. But the way she says together in this song just tickles the liven daylights out of me. And I have several albums of Roy Orbison's, So it also tickles the liven daylights out of me to hear her sing this song. I wish she would sing more of his songs. thank you so much Sissel Kyrkjebo for all of your music videos. I play this one 10 or 12 times a day. More Please.

She is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life, and has the voice to match. She's incredible.

[oldronald]

She sings this so beautifully! Her range is 4+ octaves - like Roy Orbison, who wrote tge song. How we miss him!

[KeithTedford]

She, with that voice, could sing the phone book and sound fantastic. What a talent.

[alecspeer]

"In Dreams" is my favourite Roy Orbison tune and one of my all-time favourites as well. This song is almost impossible to cover, and this cover by Sissel is the best I have heard. Bravo !!

[scheistundzebreath]

The expressions. The eyes. She is beyond amazing.

[donabel]

What a performance. Watch it everyday.

[tbrollini]

From the first moment & I heard her sing & saw her beautiful face & wonderful personality, she was my favorite singer of all time. It's just terrible I never heard of her until last year. She is the best!

[man]

Sissel can do justice to any song that was ever transposed!!

[charlesorr]

She defies nature, as she ages her voice maintains it's magnificence and she becomes more beautiful.

[richardnorfolk]

Not only beautiful, but what a voice.

[leecowell]

wow a Big O song! she has the LOW range AND of course the HIGH range. AND she's also singing it in ENGLISH! I missed this one... I've been listening to her for at least 25 years but yeah, missed this one. What a tribute to Roy she like Roy is pure class...

Sissel speaks to the soul. Her expressive eyes and unabashed direct gaze just have us rapt, with of course those effortless soul-rending notes. As near to heaven as could be
