A New Journey
A New Journey Second only to Riverdance as an international Irish showbiz phenomenon, previous installments of this Platinum-selling extravaganza have become beloved PBS standards. The original buxom quartet of female singers, Lisa, Maev, Orla, and Chloe, have duly been joined by Hayley and are, as usual, backed by a full symphony orchestra and choir, plus enough traditional instruments (the house fiddler, Mairead, is a powerhouse) to keep things legit. The material ranges from folkloric (”D laman” is best known from Clannad’s legendary rendering), to a standard from another Celtic nation (”Caledonia,” Dougie McLean’s love letter to his native Scotland), to classical lite (Handel’s poignant “Laschia Ch’io Pianga”), to movie hits (”Somewhere Over The Rainbow” in a delicately lovely, a cappella, close-harmony treatment), to homegrown New Age (Enya’s “Newgrange”). Most tracks are produced to turn, presented in the aural equivalent of Technicolor or day-glo, in which colors pop while diverging ever so slightly from nature. In short, although the album offers fresh material, it covers old ground — but this is exactly what the act’s target audience expects and desires. Fans of acoustic folk would likely find the prevailing aesthetic a touch garish, but fans of Sarah Brightman and Il Divo will be diverted and thrilled. The deluxe package offers four bonus tracks, three of them live, plus a silver claddagh charm. –Christina Roden

Customer Review: A great continuation of the first Celtic Woman album.
After seeing them on PBS, getting the first CD and seeing them in concert I am hooked. These ladies can SING!
The bonus songs make the album definatly worth the extra few dollars…it includes the fun, upbeat, songs Celtic Woman performs at the ending of their live shows….I was so hoping they would put them on an album. Live or not, the sound quality is PERFECTION, they sound studio quality. I was a little hesistant at first about the addition of the new member…but she rounds the group up nicely.
>>> It’s very rare that I do this, but I recently discovered the most thought provoking Instrumentals by M E H D I (Pronounced meddie). As an Instrumental Fan I was absolutely blown away by the sheer beauty of this music, It’s a true GEM. Full samples are at S00THINGmusic.C0M (type url in lower case)…JUST LISTEN TO THE SAMPLES. I have a feeling that you’ll be glad you did!
