SISSEL KYRKJEBØ - Imagine, from John Lennon - 1991 TV Concert - HQ with Subtitles

SISSEL performed this very famous song from John LENNON "IMAGINE" at the occasion of a TV CONCERT which was filmed in the FAROE Islands, during spring and summer 1990, and was then released on TV in 1991. Sissel was in her early twenties at that time but she was already a well-known singer, especially in Norway and in BERGEN, her hometown. The orchestra is directed by Per Egil HOVLAND.

The TV program (produced by Stageway) lasted about 70 minutes and was made of two parts. The first one, called "Med Sissel til Kirkjubø*", was filmed partially outdoors in various places of interest of the Faroe Islands, and also indoors, in the concert hall of the Nordic House in Tórshavn. * Kirkjubø is the old cultural and spiritual centre of the Faroes, with the St. Olav's church (12th century) , the oldest church in the Faroes still in use, and the ruins of St. Magnus Cathedral (about 1300). The second part of the program was called "Sissel i Christianskirkjuni". It is a church concert filmed in "Christianschurch", in Klaksvik.

Sissel performance was never released in any album or DVD later on, and to my knowledge, only very few recordings of this concert still exist today.

I already posted in 2007 some videos of the TV concert, including one of this song (see: Sissel Kyrkjebo, 1991, Imagine from John Lennon). This new version is of a much better quality.

I do hope you will ENJOY IT.
