This CD represents an excellent mix of traditional and modern celtic music by women artists. The songs range the full emotional continuum from extremely joyful to extremely sad. The upbeat songs will make even the most resistent listener tap their feet. And if you are looking for a good cry, try THESE sad songs. Whatever you want, this CD contains some of the very best in women's celtic music. A must have for any celtic music enthusist.

5.0 out of 5 stars How did I live without this one before? EXCELLENT, April 2 2001

This review is from: Her Infinite Voice Celtic Wom (Audio CD)

This two CD set it a compilation of celtic music by celtic artists. The melodies vary from Cherish the Ladies' "Lord Mayo" -- a cascading piano piece, to Altan's "McFarley's Mill" -- fiddle music complete with accompanying taps (Irish dance). This mix of celtic music is enjoyable from the first piece to the last. A truly wonderful blend full of life and joy.

I don't know how I lived without this one before. I thought I lost this set -- it was borrowed by a co-worker without asking. Well, it has become such a staple of my listening that I grew a little frantic wondering where it had gone. I did get it back, otherwise I would have puchased another set. Buy it, you'll love it too!!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most beautiful Celtic albums., Mar 24 2001

By

Callie "chroi" (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Her Infinite Voice Celtic Wom (Audio CD)

I recently got this album for my 17th birthday. This album is one of the best definitions of Celtic music. It has tracks by many Celtic women stars such as Cherish the Ladies, Niamh Parsons, Altan, Touchstone, Capercaillie, and Eileen Ivers, along with many other lovely female talents. Joanie Madden brings melody with the flute and whistle. Eileen Ivers, Liz Carroll, and Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh bring energy on the fiddle. Triona Ni Dhomhnaill sings with a sincere heart. Sharon Shannon, Altan, and Cherish the Ladies use accordians in ways that make you want to dance. Niamh Parsons' strong alto is so wonderful in "Clohine Winds". Many well arranged traditional melodies are played on this album. A majority of this music is traditional, but some of this music is contemparary, like Deanta's "Ready For the Storm"(one of my favorites) and "Unicorns". I love Reeltime's jig version of "Siuil A Run"(check out the versions by Clannad and the Chieftains). I love the banjo in "Jack Haggerty". I love the voices and harps of Sileas. I should say that there is not a single bad song on this album. All of these songs are really good. All of the music brings you right to the heart of Ireland. I should give credit to all of these artists on this album: Deanta, Cherish the Ladies, Niamh Parsons and the Loose Connections, Altan, Cappercaillie(they sound a lot like Clannad), Trian, Sileas, Touchstone, Joanie Madden of Cherish the Ladies, Reeltime, Eileen Ivers, Sharon Shannon(I loved her accordian melodies in Maire Breatnach's "Angel's Candles", Relativity, Open House, Liz Carroll, Carla Sciaky, June Tabor and Martin Simpson, and I should not disinclude Maeve Donnelly. Some of these artists are well known, such as Eileen Ivers(who is famous for her role in Riverdance), Altan, Capercaillie, Cherish the Ladies, and Niamh Parsons. But many of these artists I didn't know about until I got this recording. So getting this album well be a good way to be introduced to great artists. It's hard to say enough about this CD, because it is so good. Those who like Celtic women like Maire Brennan and Karan Casey will certainly enjoy this collection.
