Spirit of The Season: Christmas with Sissel and The Mormon Tabernacle Choir

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.

Rating: - The Good: The Bad
The CD is great (previously ordered 27). The most recent order is B-A-D -- whata disappointment! I requested ONE-DAY-SHIPPING and was charged $115.72 and delivery was to be Friday, Dec 12. I did NOT receive the order Friday the 12th or Saturday the 13th. It remains to be seen whether I will receive the CDs Monday the 15th. Regardless, this is a far cry from ONE-DAY-SHIPPING. My previous experiences with Amazon have always been good. This, however, is bad and I have paid handsomely for service I ... Read More
Rating: - Oh my gosh---glorious!
We attended this concert in person though we had never heard of Sissel beforehand.The Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert is always worth seeing, but Sissel's angelic voice put it out of this world.The CD is my favorite holiday CD by far. Do not miss this CD for the world!
Rating: - choral work with COSMIC class guest artist
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 hjærte alltid vanker"or the danish song celebrating the pureness of the snowand you will understand what i mean : what a VOICE she has !!![she makes fables even of gregorian songs ]

Rating: - LOVE THIS CD!
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!
Rating: - Beautifully recorded less well-known holiday songs
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.
