4.0 out of 5 stars A reflective, soothing, sonorous journey, May 25 2003

By

Brianna Neal (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Celtic Voices Women Of Song (Audio CD)

Four accomplished female vocalists--Mary McLaughlin, Connie Dover, Maireid Sullivan and Emma Christian--offer haunting and heartfelt renditions of both new and traditional tunes, gently accompanied by an assortment of instruments. The voices of the vocalists, though not heard concurrently, are remarkably well-matched--rich, velvety, resonant and bell-clear. A standout number is the striking lament "Sealwoman/Yundah" by Mary McLaughlin. My other favorites include Connie Dover's wistful "Siuil a Ruin", and "Cantus" (her multi-tracked take on the carol "Personent Hodie"), Maireid Sullivan's bluesy version of "The Water is Wide (Waly Waly)", and singer/harpist Emma Christian's plaintive "Little Red Bird". For more music by and about Celtic Women, try the Green Linnet's 3-CD set, "The Voice of Celtic Music".

5.0 out of 5 stars mystical extravaganza of incredible expression, May 6 2003

this CD is amazing. The voices fo the women are hauntingly above the normal human voice. The selections really emphasize the talents. In song number 5, Connie Dover truly shows the magical Celtic music experience and proves that she is one of the best, along with the rest of the wonderful ladies on the CD. A definite must have for anyone who truly loves music and the magic that it can create.

5.0 out of 5 stars Voices like angels, Aug 26 2000

This review is from: Celtic Voices Women Of Song (Audio CD)

True to the title of this CD, each of the recordings showcases the vocal talents of the four featured women to a full extent. The music is a combination of very traditional songs and more recently written, New-Agey selections, which complement eachother very well. Some of the better tracks (they're all pretty good) include: the haunting, pleading "Bring the Peace"; the playful harvest song "In Aimsir Bhaint an Fheir"; the tragic traditional song "Siuil a Ruin"; and the contemplative "Waly Waly," better known as "The Water is Wide". Perhaps my favorite track, though, is "She Moved Through the Fair," a song which has been recorded by many artists, but never more beautifully than Maireid Sullivan. If you're a fan of Celtic music, or just enjoy hearing beautiful voices, buy this CD - it's definitely a must-have.
