Celtic Woman, the PBS sensation, returns for 2007 in A New Journey: Live at Slane Castle, Ireland. Most of the elements return as well: vocalists Chloe, Meav, Lisa, and Orla; fiery fiddler Mairead; music director David Downes; chorus and orchestra; and the New Age-y Celtic and traditional music. New for this show is New Zealand vocalist Hayley Westenra, a picturesque outdoor location, and an almost entirely new song list. Chloe sings "The Prayer" (made famous by Josh Groban) and "Panis Angelicus"; Lisa covers "Caledonia," "The Blessing," and "The Voice"; Orla sings "Newgrange" and accompanies herself on harp for "Carrickfergus"; Meav sings "Dulaman"; Mairead plays "Granuaile's Dance" and "Shenandoah: The Pacific Slope"; and Hayley sings "Scarborough Fair" by herself and duets with Mairead (Handel's "Lascia Ch'io Pianga") and Meav ("The Last Rose of Summer"). Then of course the group performs together ("The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun," "Over the Rainbow," "Beyond the Sea," "At the Ceili," "Sing Out!", "Spanish Lady," "Mo Ghile Mear"). Encore performances from the original show are Enya's "Orinoco Flow," "Danny Boy," "Somewhere," and "You Raise Me Up." Hayley proves to be an excellent fit among the beautiful voices, and Lisa seems to emerge as the talent most deserving of attention, but overall the show lacks some of the fresh sparkle of the original. The song list isn't quite as strong, and some of the "primp and pose" choreography is just silly. But Celtic Woman is never less than charming, and at its best can be quite stirring. --David Horiuchi

wonderful December 22, 2008

It was a wonderful performance and a well produced DVD. Brought tears to my eyes. Rented it on netflix. Now buying from Amazon.
 Too much of a big stage musical December 21, 2008
Michael (Placerville, CA USA)
Fáilte!
My guess is that the people that will like this DVD and CD as a top five star rating would generally be a marginal audience of traditional Irish Music without the big stage production to sell it. I suppose it is just a matter of taste and there is nothing wrong in liking big stage productions. But there is also nothing wrong in a preference for Irish Traditional Music the Irish traditional way in a much simpler and friendlier pub style form as roots music.
Between the two projects of this producer, my preference would be High Kings. That is a simpler production that includes a pub style sing along for the "Irish Rover." If there are more productions in the future, I would certainly encourage taking this direction.
I have been involved in playing and listening to Irish Traditional Music for decades. The pub can offer what they call "craic" (pronounced "crack") in Ireland, or an atmosphere of community fun and friendship. This was captured in Danu's DVD "One Night Stand." This was captured in the Cheiftains DVD "Water from the Well." This was captured in Dervish's two DVD's, "Midsummers Night Session" and "Live from Johnny Fox's." On CD, this is captured on "Music from Matt Molloy's." I would also have to say the DVD "Ragus" presents a small theatre production PERSONAL approach to the same type of music.
Slán agaibh!

Celtic Woman is a fantastic production. We have watched it 3 times already
and plan to enjoy it again many times in the future. I enjoy the music and
the total production. I would recommend the music of the Celtic Women to any
ne who likes relaxing music with an ethnic bend. RB
