5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely little pot o' gold..., January 8, 2001

This review is from: Celtic Classics: Enchanted Journey (Audio CD)

I purchased this CD almost as an afterthought, since it was "bought by people who had ordered" the new Enya CD I was buying at the time (Enya's "A Day Without Rain"). (Yes, I'm an impulse buyer!) The irony is that, of the two CDs, I like this one far better than Enya's (even though Enya's new album will no doubt sell a bazillion more copies.)

Celtic Classics is a genuine little gem of an album: it's soothing, gentle, and dreamy, quietly evoking Ireland with warmth and grace and beauty. (I'm listening to "Danny Boy" right now, and it's really quite delightful.)

Ahhh, it'll soon be time to order Celtic Classics II, Tommy boy, I'll be thinking...

5.0 out of 5 stars This CD is Definitely Worth Buying, July 23, 2001

If you are like me, you probably know nothing about Shanon, the group or person that recorded this CD. However, additional research helped me to learn that Shanon is actually Ronan Hardiman. If you like any of his other CDs (Lord of the Dance, Feet of Flames, Solas and Anthem), you will love this one. It has many traditional Celtic tunes that you are probably familiar with along with some others that will be new to you. However, it is classic Hardiman with soft vocals and simple melodies that are very enjoyable to listen to over and over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a Great CD, February 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Celtic Classics: Enchanted Journey (Audio CD)

Personally, I am not a HUGE fan of Celtic music, but I do like some of it. Most of the Celtic music out there gets on my nerves quickly, but this CD doesn't! :) This is the best Celtic-New Age CD out there! If you are like me, and want to try something new, such as celtic music, buy this first. It won't get on your nerves, I promise! :) I wrote this review a long time ago, and I'd like to update by saying that I still love this CD. And if you like it, take a look at Celtic Classics 2.
