Sissel Kyrkjebø performing "Om" ("If" by David Gates and his band Bread in Norwegian words) at the re-opening of the concerthall Banken in Lillehammer, Norway in 1992.

This hall was built in 1895 and was decaying for many years. It went through a big restoration before the Winter Olympic Games at Lillehammer in 1994. The lyrics of "Om" are translated into Norwegian by Norwegian singer-songwriter Ole Paus. Unfortunately this version has never been released on any album of Sissel.

Sissel, the international singing sensation from Norway, is widely regarded as one of the finest and most talented sopranos in the world. Her crystalclear voice has made Sissel a national institution in Norway. Sissel has sung all over the world, selling over ten million solo albums. She contributed the haunting vocal tracks for the soundtrack to Titanic. She has been doing great duets with singers like Placido Domingo, Charles Aznavour, Bryn Terfel, Jose Carreras, Russell Watson, Neil Sedaka and Josh Groban. A remarkable voice you only hear once in your lifetime.
