This review is from: Celtic Woman - The Greatest Journey: Essential Collection (DVD)

Yes, it is basically just clips from the other Celtic Woman DVDs, BUT the documentary ALONE is worth buying.

If you are a big Celtic Woman fan you will really want this. The hour long "The Story So Far" Documentary is fantastic, and a great behind-the-scenes look at how Celtic Woman all came about, and the girls' thoughts about it so far. Great interviews with all of the girls, and a great view of how they interact with each other. I really loved this documentary, and to me, it is what makes this DVD worth the cost. Plus, this is a great DVD if you are looking to share the magic of Celtic Woman with someone else who is not familiar with them. It really goes through all the great hits and well-loved songs. They've added in some beautiful shots of Ireland in between the songs and they do compliment the music so well!

As for new stuff, CW will be filming a new DVD this summer, so be on the look out for that.

Long live Celtic Woman, and bring on the Spring 2009 tour!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Release, October 30, 2008

This review is from: Celtic Woman - The Greatest Journey: Essential Collection (DVD)

I am a Celtic Woman Fan and received my copy of the "Greatest Journey, Essential Collection" DVD and CD yesterday. I watched the DVD last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was wonderful seeing Meave in the group again and my eyes literally teared when I saw Hayley in the group again. I thoroughly enjoyed the DVD. It seemed like the sound and picture had been considerably enhanced over previous releases and many of the camera shots were from a different angle. It looks and sounds great and I'd recommend it to anyone whether as a personal aquisition or as a gift whether or not you are a Celtic Woman fan. This is just a great DVD with excellent technical qualities, bright and vivid colors; clear and sharp sound, etc. There were super landscape shots from many of Ireland's beautiful and historic places. They were woven into the songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Satisfying Collection, October 29, 2008

This review is from: Celtic Woman - The Greatest Journey: Essential Collection (DVD)

I just listened to the CD and was pleased. This CD/DVD is not a release of new songs -- rather a collection of material previously recorded. Whether this is truly the "essential" Celtic Woman is an individual choice. I would have come up with a different grouping, but that's okay. I "think" I detected Lynn Hillary's voice on one or two songs, but I could be mistaken. Lisa (the backbone of the group) is there, and so is Meav, which surprised me a bit -- since a couple of the songs sound like fresh recordings (although of the same tunes). I am anxious for Lynn Hillary to be given the spotlight sometime in the future, as she has an outstanding voice. Since she is also a songwriter, I'm hoping Celtic Woman will let her take the spotlight at their next recording session or taped live spot. Check out her "Take Me With You" CD (not easy to find) and listen to it a few times then make your own judgment. I think she's a natural for this group as long as they let her talents be heard.
