5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent rhythms and melodies well worth the purchase, July 19, 1999

This review is from: Celtic Wedding: Music of Brittany (Audio CD)

I originally purchased this on a whim some time ago and fell in love with the subtle difference between the irish sound and the breton sound. The only problem is that I let my 15 year old bleached haired hard out Tool and Korn freak son listen to it as well. Now I have to try and find the CD in his bedroom if I want to listen to it as he hides the CD so that he has exclusive listening rights!! An unusual turn of events. The music is romantic without being soppy and very evocative for those with a leaning towards past life experiences-my head becomes filled with pictures of past events. It has now sent me on a hunt for any similar type of music-traditional rather than modern as Stone Circle is. Do listen to Celtic Wedding if you are a Celtic music fan. I doubt that you will be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fresh Breeze from the Chieftains, July 28, 2000

It is difficult not to like a performance by the Chieftains, and this collection is no exception. While the subject matter is a little removed from their usual Irish fare, the high quality which one has come to expect from them is certainly present.

4.0 out of 5 stars May be a little too studious and cultured for many listeners, December 4, 2001

I like the Chieftains a lot, love some of their music. I love Irish music, especially the moody traditional OR electronic/ethnic updates or variations on the Celtic sound and this album falls in the former category. I find it a little long in the tooth, actually, and have to get into an academic frame of mind to fully appreciate it. I've tried to listen to it several times, but find my mind soon wanders and, unlike so much of the Chieftains music, the tunes don't stay in my head. Definitely a mood piece and best appreciated, I suspect by serious Celtic or Chieftains fans.
