| DVD Description 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 |

WONDERFUL!! This DVD was all that we thought it would be and more! We had just seen them perform live and watching this DVD was like experiencing it all over again! If you are a Celtic Woman fan........it's a MUST!!
Saw them live! If you ever get the opportunity to see these wonderful ladies live... DO IT!! I did. These ladies are absolutely amazing and stunning! I saw the PBS special and I never thought they could be better. However, the PBS special doesn't even compare to seeing them live!! I am buying the DVD.
not only a musical but a visual treat delite i first saw this on pbs when i was living in new hampshire , i,d watch it over and over on cold snowy nights when it aired it,s homemade and from scrach, original ,tastefull and a pleasure to watch. i didn't know the dvd was availible and it will soon be in my collection |
