5.0 out of 5 stars It calls to the part of you that still believes in magic., November 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Celtic Legacy (Audio CD)

I think that Einini has to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, my only regret was that it ever had to end. Culloden's Harvest is heartbreakingly beautiful and the whole CD entranced me. I listen to it in the evenings when I get home, and it never fails to soothe me no matter what ills have befallen me through the day. I recommend it not just for Celtic music fans, but for anyone that loves beautiful music. My heartfelt thanks to all the artists.

5.0 out of 5 stars This album is worth it!, November 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Celtic Legacy (Audio CD)

I recieved this album as a gift, and from day one I have absolulty loved it. Each song brings to mind a different place and a different time. Many of the songs are wonderful to lay down and listen to if I want to relax, and others seem to invigorate me. This is a must have for anyone who enjoys Celtic music or history, or for someone who just loves good music!

5.0 out of 5 stars A wistful, sentimental journey that takes your breath away, May 25, 2003

This review is from: Celtic Legacy (Audio CD)

The work of artists from Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, Wales, Cape Breton Island, Galicia and America is featured in this primarily gentle and reflective collection featuring both accoustic and electronic instruments, as well as some vocals. Though mostly mellow, these evocative, heartfelt selections still command one's attention, leaving one yearning for more. The contributing musicians are William Coulter, Orion, The Barra MacNeils, 4 yn y Bar, Natalie MacMaster, Milladoiro, the Poozies, Maire Breatnach, Maighread Ni Dhomhmaill, William Jackson, John Whelan/Eileen Ivers, Altan, Deanta, Deiseal, Dominig Bouchaud, Cyrille Colas and Talitha MacKenzie. Especially poignant are Deanta's "Harvest of Culloden", Orion's "Douce Mousitomanie", Natalie MacMaster's "If Ever You Were Mine", and Maire Breatnach's "The Swans at Coole" and Dominig Bouchaud's "Une chanson a la mariee". If you like the music of "Celtic Legacy", you'll also enjoy a similar compilation by Narada entitled "Celtic Odyssey".
