Amazon.com: 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
Fantastic ! This DVD has the fire of a great live performance and it's filmed outside under the open sky. These ladies are captivating and charming as they harmonize so beautifully together. The music they select for this DVD is both inspiring and exciting. This is one of those DVD's I dont get tired of watching!
Celtic Woman A New Journey I was so disappointed with Journey. It had completely lost touch with what made the earlier Celtic Woman so attractive to me. The individual voices of each of the performers were really lost in this production. Between the background singer and the orchestra, it really destroyed the very thing that made them so attractive to me. So very sad.
Beautiful voices and music There is nothing better than getting the kids to sleep, sending my husband into another room, and sitting on the couch by myself to enjoy the beautiful angelic singing (and fast paced violin playing) of these women. Such a nice relaxing and soothing way to end a stressful day. You can't help but feel better after listening to these wonderful songs.
Celtic woman the best cd that I have ever bought. This cd is the best and I plan on buying all the other other's. Would like to see them in person, here in the midwest USA Dana
A Delightful concert featuring Mairead Nesbitt This is a fantastic concert featuring some of the most beautiful voices Ireland has to offer and also the incredibly talented fiddler - Mairead Nesbitt. She will amaze and delight you as she twirls and leaps around the stage with her violin. There is no one else quite like Mairead Nesbitt!
