Genre: Music Video - Pop/Rock Rating: NR Release Date: 1-MAR-2005 Media Type: DVD Amazon.com: Gorgeous to listen to and gorgeous to look at, Celtic Woman is perfect PBS fare, sort of a Riverdance without the dancing. Drawing on the same New Age-y sound and propulsive energy as that show's solo-voice and choral numbers, the live concert features four attractive young women in strapless evening gowns with soaring voices backed by an orchestra, an Anuna-like chorus, and a large percussion section. The more traditional fare includes Méav Ni Mhaolchatha's "Danny Boy" and "She Moved Through the Fair," and Chloë Agnew's "Ave Maria" (the Bach-Gounod version). Movie and TV selections range from Agnew's "Walking in the Air" (The Snowman) and "Someday" (Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame) to Lisa Kelly's "May It Be" (the Enya song from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the King) and Órla Fallon's voice and harp rendition of "Harry's Game." A fifth woman, Máiréad Nesbitt, adds some variety by fiddling "The Butterfly" and "Ashokan Farewell" (best known as the theme from Ken Burns's The Civil War). Occasionally the singers join together, as in Enya's "Orinoco Flow," an a cappella rendition of West Side Story's "Somewhere," music director David Downes's composition "One World," and a stately version of "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring." Celtic Woman was created by Downes (like many of the other performers, a Riverdance veteran) along with Sharon Browne and Dave Kavanagh of the Celtic Collections record label. --David Horiuchi Average Rating:
 Rating:  - CELTIC WOMANAn excellent product. I had the CD and now I have the DVD. I saw them perform live in the DFW area and just wish they had more recordings. Rating: - Features the Incredible Irish Fiddler Mairead NesbittMairead Nesbitt has been featured in Lord of the Dance, Feet of Flames, Dance Invasion, and other fabulous Irish shows. But this DVD contains some of her best work. You will be absolutely enchanted as she prances around the stage like a pixie all while fiddling and never missing a note. She is accompanied by some very talented soloists with angelic voices. This DVD offers something for everyone. Rating: - Celtic WomanI thought that I was getting a cd when the dvd was ordered. That was a wonderful mistake! My wife and I watched it the next Saturday night, since we can't afford the tickets for the real concert. We recommend this video highly! Even if this is ordered by mistake, the experience is worth it! The Irish have a really wonderful group of talented women and the world is lucky to be able to enjoy their music.Celtic Woman Rating: - Awsome concertThis is a must have DVD for any fans of the CELTIC Woman. If you can't see them in concert see this DVD. Rating:  - Good Clean PicturesI think this one was the first video of celtic woman, and many good songs that sing beautifully. |
