Editorial Reviews
For nearly two decades, the Christmas edition of Brian O'Donovan's radio program, A Celtic Sojourn, has been a seasonal highlight for public radio audiences. This tradition has now inspired the extraordinary holiday concert presented on this CD. Says O'Donovan, "Our initial idea was simple: replicate the gatherings that we love to have at this time of year with family and friends. Share some songs, read some poetry, tell a few stories, and dance. We simply decided to expand the guest list!" Here is a delightful panoply of Celtic Christmas songs, superbly recorded. Nollaig faoi shona dhuit (Merry Christmas)!

5.0 out of 5 stars
inconsistent, true...,
By Geoff Lilley "MS Office Junkie, Poetry Lover,... (Sacramento, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: A Christmas Celtic Sojourn, Live (Audio CD)
...as a previous reviewer noted. I thought one or two of the tracks were pretty forgettable (Mary's Boy Child, Miss Fogarty's Christmas Cake), despite the evident talent of some the artists (particularly Fionnuala O'Donovan).
However: Navan's rendition of "Silent Night" is a piece of jaw-dropping beauty, as is "Ambran Oiche Mhaith (Song of Night)." I'm not much into that tin pan alley, Danny-boy and Celtic Woman version of Celtic music...Navan is more my cup of tea. So don't just buy this CD; pick up Lowena. While you're at it, grab Kitka's Wintersongs. Then, your Christmas music collection will be complete. Even if you're an atheist like me. ;)

Disappointing,

This review is from: A Christmas Celtic Sojourn, Live (Audio CD)
I am a Celtic Music Fan, but was disappointed in this album. It was steady, but not up to what I wanted. It did not have continuity or a theme as it kind of meandered from one type of song to another. I did not think the music that good either.
