Album Description
Available in:
Innerst i sjelen, in the United Kingdom: Deep Within My Soul, is a 1994 album from Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø. It is named for the song "Innerst i sjelen" that Sissel Kyrkjebø sang as initial track in the album, but was originally by Ole Paus and Lars Børke.

After a tour in Scandinavia countries, Sissel wanted to gather songs that could comfort and give hope, songs that told the story of longing, strong beliefs and hope, trust and love through countries and generations. As a special treat, the Olympic Hymn and Olympic Theme song from Lilehammer Olympic Winter Games in 1994 is included. The later was in duet with Plácido Domingo.

User Album Review
Innerst I Sjelen from 1994 is the first of Sissel's albums that consists predominantly of traditional Scandinavian folk music. It is exquisitely beautiful and my favorite among her releases. Many of the songs have a religious bent and the music reflects it in their gentle hymn-like nature. I love almost every piece here but standouts include "Tidin Rennur" (Time is Flowing), "Som Fagre Blomen" (Like the Fairest Flower), "Bred Dina Vida Vingar" (Spread Your Wide Wings) and of course the title track, "Innerst I Sjelen" (Deepest In The Soul). "Se Ilden Lyse" (See the Fiery Light) is the Norwegian version of the official theme song of the 1994 Winter Olympics, "Fire In Your Heart", which she sings here with Placido Domingo. "Alma Redemtoris Mater" (Loving Mother of the Redeemer) is a Marian antiphon dating back almost a thousand years to the 11th Century but Sissel's version, even with its modern drumbeat, is the one I prefer over other more traditional settings (usually with unaccompanied male chorus). ...these songs come from all across the Nordic lands and we get to hear Sissel singing in Danish, Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish. Beautifully recorded, this is a delight to listen to. -dooby; Amazon.com
