"Sissel" is the Norwegian derivative of the English name "Cecilia" It is a rare and unusual name, commonly found in Denmark and Norway, where it is cherished for its traditional roots. The name is sometimes associated with notable figures in music and arts. Its connection to nature and strength makes it suitable for individuals that embody these qualities. Objectively, it is most commonly associated with the Latin word "caecus", meaning "blind or dim-sighted". Subjectively, however, the name is also linked to Saint Cecilia, a Roman martyr, considered to be the patron saint of music and musicians. This connection often leads to interpretations of Cecilia as representing spiritual vision, hidden beauty, or a girl with vision more than sight. It symbolizes the depth of perception beyond seeing (on the surface). The above listed three DVD collections EACH contain OVER five hours of "Angelic and Heavenly Sights and Sounds", designed to transport the listener from this world of earthly cares into Sissel's World of Ethereal Beauty. |

The incident was so unpleasant that Larsen chose not to tell the artist about it when it happened. It was only about two months ago that she learned the whole story. "It was an adventure to be Sissel's manager. But she has also experienced things that were not so pleasant," says Larsen. Shielded her from certain letters As manager, Larsen received large amounts of mail sent to Kyrkjebø. Some of the letters were read by the singer, while others were kept away. - There was no point in her reading letters that wouldn't make her happy. So we kept them a secret. Among the senders was a Swedish man who, according to Larsen, wrote frequently and with an increasingly insistent tone. That made the manager uneasy. He feared that the man would show up When Kyrkjebø was to hold a concert in Copenhagen towards the end of the 1990s, Larsen chose to notify the organizer. He wanted extra security because he feared the man might show up. After the concert, Larsen and his then-wife went to the dressing room to pick up Kyrkjebø. Unknown man discovered at the hairdresser Kyrkjebø was instead at the hairdresser's with her friend Hanne Falck. But there was also an unknown man in the room. Larsen says that suspicion arose immediately. - It must be him, I thought. According to Larsen, it turned out that the stranger was actually the man behind the letters. The special thing was that no one around Kyrkjebø had apparently understood who he was. - Sissel thought he was a friend of the hairdresser, and the hairdresser thought he was a friend of Sissel. Took Sissel out with him Larsen reacted quickly and took Sissel, his then-wife, and Hanne Falck away from the area. However, the situation did not stop there. One or two weeks later, a new letter arrived. This time Larsen perceived the content as far more serious. The letter made him uneasy. At that time, Kyrkjebø had released the album "Soria Moria". In the letter, the man, according to Larsen's account, is said to have used the fairy tale about Askeladden and the troll as an illustration of the situation. Ironically, the multi-headed troll appears specifically in the Norwegian fairy tale "Soria Moria Castle" (Soria Moria slott). Larsen, his ex-wife and Hanne Falck were referred to as a "three-headed troll" who had taken Sissel from him. The man is said to have further written that he knew what had to be done with the troll. The manager decided to involve the police. - What the police did, or what happened, I don't know. But after this, the contact is said to have stopped. - We never heard anything more from him after that. Larsen says he also does not know how the man managed to get into the area where Kyrkjebø was staying after the concert. - He shouldn't be there. The fact that the unknown man had gotten so close to the artist made Larsen upset. - I have no idea. I would like to know. He emphasizes that the man had nothing to do with it. - I just know that he was sitting there, and he shouldn't be there. Larsen also says that he became angry with the organizer afterwards. Kept everything hidden from Kyrkjebø At this point, Larsen decided not to tell Kyrkjebø what had happened. He thought it would create unnecessary fear. - You can get scared of shadows from that kind of thing. Therefore, she continued without knowing the details of the letter and the man's presence. Told it almost 40 years later Only recently did Larsen get in touch and tell us what he had been keeping hidden. - Just now, almost 40 years later, I called her and told her about what happened. According to Larsen, Kyrkjebø reacted with understanding. - She was grateful that we didn't tell her at the time. He says that not all the attention around her was pleasant. Larsen's own assessment in retrospect Today, Larsen looks differently at the man who wrote the letters. He describes it as his own assessment that the person may have developed a notion of a relationship with Sissel that did not exist in reality. This is Larsen's retrospective interpretation of the situation, not a medical assessment of the man. Sissel has not commented publicly on the matter. Sissel Kyrkjebø has not commented on the incident herself. However, she is reportedly aware that the story is recounted in Larsen's book and in media coverage. For Rune Larsen, the incident is one of many memories from a long career in the Norwegian music industry.Yet, he chose to keep this particular story from the artist he was meant to protect --- for almost four decades.

Sissel Kyrkjebø, 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 her a national institution. She has contributed haunting vocals for the soundtrack to "Titanic" and "The Lord of the Rings", as well as selling over ten million solo albums. 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. She captivated the whole nation of Norway in 1986, when she sang during the break at the Eurovision final in Bergen - only 16 years old and dressed in a white bunad (traditional Norwegian folk costume). Since then, her fame and success have just continued to soar. She has been praised and acclaimed at home and abroad, and masters both the small and the very large formats -- everything from American TV shows to film music.

Her list of achievements makes you dizzy -- ranging from Schubert to Deep Purple - "O mio babbino caro" to "Udsigter fra Ulrikken". Truly a very remarkable talent and voice that only comes once in our lifetime! It is difficult to say anything that hasn't already been said about Sissel, but "National Treasure" and "Voice of Norway" are two of the terms used about the "girl from Bergen". In 2005, she was knighted by the King of Norway, being the youngest ever to receive this honor. In 2022 she received the "Seven Pillars of Humanity Creativity Award" in recognition for her years of humanitarian work around the world and actions representing the good in humanity.

The total prize amount was NOK 1.5 million, shared among the three recipients. She also received a hand-calligraphed diploma and a beautiful watercolor by Håkon Gullvåg.

In 2026, Sissel was involved in a Norwegian animated Christmas film entitled, "Julenissens Verksted" (The Christmas Elf's Workshop / Santa's Workshop). It marks her return to voice acting in a film after more than 35 years. It is described as a family-friendly film full of humor, Christmas atmosphere, and a warm holiday message. Sissel provides the voice for the grandmother (farmor). This is a new experience for her --- being involved from the early stages (when only sketches existed), unlike her previous voice work. She has spoken positively about the project.
