Gorgeous to listen to and gorgeous to look at, Celtic Woman is perfect PBS fare, sort of a Riverdance without the dancing. Drawing on the same New Age-y sound and propulsive energy as that show's solo-voice and choral numbers, the live concert features four attractive young women in strapless evening gowns with soaring voices backed by an orchestra, an Anuna-like chorus, and a large percussion section. The more traditional fare includes Méav Ni Mhaolchatha's "Danny Boy" and "She Moved Through the Fair," and Chloë Agnew's "Ave Maria" (the Bach-Gounod version). Movie and TV selections range from Agnew's "Walking in the Air" (The Snowman) and "Someday" (Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame) to Lisa Kelly's "May It Be" (the Enya song from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the King) and Órla Fallon's voice and harp rendition of "Harry's Game." A fifth woman, Máiréad Nesbitt, adds some variety by fiddling "The Butterfly" and "Ashokan Farewell" (best known as the theme from Ken Burns's The Civil War). Occasionally the singers join together, as in Enya's "Orinoco Flow," an a cappella rendition of West Side Story's "Somewhere," music director David Downes's composition "One World," and a stately version of "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring." Celtic Woman was created by Downes (like many of the other performers, a Riverdance veteran) along with Sharon Browne and Dave Kavanagh of the Celtic Collections record label. --David Horiuchi

Summary: "Live" concerts are lyp-synced with this group 2008-11-20
Comment: Just a warning to anyone wanting to see this group live - I saw them in concert last year with a friend at the Greek Theatre and my pleasure at the singing and fiddle-playing quickly turned to disappointment at the obviously lyp-synced vocals and dubbed fiddle. Their CDs are probably wonderful, but their live performances are apparently not live at all.

Summary: CELTIC WOMAN 2008-10-02
Comment: An excellent product. I had the CD and now I have the DVD. I saw them perform live in the DFW area and just wish they had more recordings.

Summary: Features the Incredible Irish Fiddler Mairead Nesbitt 2008-07-31
Comment: Mairead Nesbitt has been featured in Lord of the Dance, Feet of Flames, Dance Invasion, and other fabulous Irish shows. But this DVD contains some of her best work. You will be absolutely enchanted as she prances around the stage like a pixie all while fiddling and never missing a note. She is accompanied by some very talented soloists with angelic voices. This DVD offers something for everyone.

Summary: Celtic Woman 2008-05-11
Comment: I thought that I was getting a cd when the dvd was ordered. That was a wonderful mistake! My wife and I watched it the next Saturday night, since we can't afford the tickets for the real concert. We recommend this video highly! Even if this is ordered by mistake, the experience is worth it! The Irish have a really wonderful group of talented women and the world is lucky to be able to enjoy their music.Celtic Woman
