Editorial Reviews

Internationally acclaimed vocal phenomenon Celtic Woman announce their sixth new project, BELIEVE, an enchanting studio album and companion live concert DVD available in stores on January 24. Celtic Woman is the all-female singing sensation featuring vocalists Chloë Agnew, Lisa Kelly, Lisa Lambe and Celtic violinist Máiréad Nesbitt performing classic Irish songs ("The Water Is Wide," "Green Grow the Rushes," "A Woman's Heart," "The Parting Glass"), timeless pop anthems ("Bridge Over Troubled Water," "Sailing"), and inspirational songs ("You'll Never Walk Alone," "Ave Maria") with their signature Celtic Woman twist, under the distinct musical direction of Emmy-nominated music producer, David Downes. The live concert DVD was filmed for the first time in America in front of some of their most loyal fans during two sold-out nights at The Fox Theatre (Atlanta, GA) in Sept 2011.

5.0 out of 5 stars ANGELIC VOICES, BEAUTIFUL MUSIC: THE MAGIC CONTINUES, January 24, 2012

Five SOARING Stars! The latest offering from Celtic Woman is enchanting, beautiful music that once again expands from its Celtic music base to include music from other genres (such as Bridge Over Troubled Waters and the inspirational You'll Never Walk Alone) that they easily bring under their distinctive umbrella of excellent interpretations. This latest edition of Celtic Woman features the marvelous angelic voices of Lisa Kelly, Chloë Agnew, the newest vocalist Lisa Lambe, along with Máiréad Nesbitt's marvelous fiddling. The highlights include the fiery vocal and orchestral drama of "Awakening" with all three singers. "The Foxhunter" has Nesbitt's high-energy fiddling stirring up a swirling jig. "The Water is Wide" is a true love song of equal cooperation featuring Kelly and Nesbitt. The lovely updated "Black is the Colour" gets a modern-day spin and Lisa Lambe is glorious amid strings and flutes. Chloe's "Ave Maria" is indeed heavenly and quite touching. And perhaps best of all, the "Songs From The Heart" duo, "Teir Abhaile Riu" and "The Parting Glass" with high-energy performances by all four ladies that virtually define what the Celtic Woman experience is about: beautiful music. Recorded in excellent sound. Kudos to David Downes. If you're new to Celtic Woman, as I am, it's a wonderful new experience that invites checking out their entire past musical worlds and members for our enjoyment. My Highest Recommendation. Five WONDERFUL Stars! (mp3 download of 15 tracks; Time: 64 minutes. Available on DVD Celtic Woman: Believe ) (Note: Dublin's own Susan McFadden joins the Celtic Woman tour in February 2012 while Lisa Kelly is on maternity leave.)

I'm not a fan-atic as it were, but having experienced a live performance of "Believe" in Jacksonville, FL I've discovered that I was unable to resist getting this disc to relive it again and again. Hint - Chloe's performance of "Ave Marie" is just plain breathtaking in its beauty. And there's a lot of fun in this CD, too. All of the ladies as well as the chorus and musicians have brought something special to this effort with a presentation that simply spells c-l-a-s-s. It's not complicated ... if you enjoy good music then you should find a lot to appreciate with the "Believe" CD by a group of ladies whose public personae embody the definitions of charm, grace, professionalism and talent.
