Six amazingtalents on one stage. And I even spoke about the energy and talent that Mairead brings to the stage. One of the finest DVD's of a concert I will ever own.
Listen to "Spanish Lady" and "You raise me Up"The first will have you laughing and the second crying. That little fiddle player has more energy than the Energizer bunny. An Album for any serious music lover.
CELTIC WOMEN-A NEW JOURNEY (LIVE) AT SLANE CASTLE (DVD). Chloe with "Panis Angelicus" Maec in "Danny boy and Dulaman" and laast but nor least Orla in "Newgrange and Carrickfergus" The sheer talent of these five soloist is beyond compare but as a group they fit each other like a glove. And remember Chloe and Haley had not yet reached their 18th birthday when this album was made.Don Lake
These five women plus the fiddle player, Mairead, are in a world of their own. My favorites, Lisa singing "The Voice" and "Calidonia", Haley in" Lascia Ch'io Pianga", "Scarborough Fair" and " The Last Rose of Summer.
Error or lack of truth in advertising. Celtic Woman's rendition of that song is the best and one of the reasons for my purchase. A superb recording of the performance, but I was extremely disappointed in Amazon's product description in that it said "Orinoco Flow" was performed. It wasn't.
So serene. Absolutely fantastic.I play it for background music in the house or for my listening pleasure while driving.
Their rendition of whatever song they are singing is fine but the Chieftains sang it better and if they didn't the Dubliners did. The difference is a question of media machines; too much of their presentation is just preaching to the choir with something like PBS behind you there is no need to improve your performance because the people who are watching you or buying your CDs would have done so anyway. Maybe it isn't their fault are the problems I have with their presentation and singing voices a problem I have with this group specifically or the way in which music is headed in general. Maybe at some point this group will improve but I rather doubt it. They will also stay on your side until the next new thing comes along anyway. Wailing into the microphone with the same inflection doesn't remind me of good Irish/Celtic music it reminds me of an Irish Springs commercial. Its not that the group can't sing its just that they don't sing very well in comparison to at least 5 other better Celtic groups.
Thanks The cd I purchased arrived very quickly and was as advertised. I am very pleased.
