This review is from: Missa Celtica (Audio CD)

A remarkable album. Deeply moving and spiritually uplifting. I hear something new each time I listen to it. A timeless blend of ancient and modern, with a satisfying thematic thread that carries you to the gorgeous finale. Highly recomended.

1.0 out of 5 stars where's the Celitc?, September 30, 2000

By 

James Elliott (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Missa Celtica (Audio CD)

I was looking forward to an album of the Mass in Celtic stylings. Instead what I got was a few strategically placed selections with 'pipes, and a lot of English opratic singers who put forth wonderfully the stodgy British style of overpowering the main work. I would have perfered it if the composer had chosen some of the current Celtic artists (Maire Brennan, Anuna, Joanne Hogg, Altan, etc.)or chosen singers in this style, who could have interpreted the Welsh, Scots and Irish texts more faithfully. As it was, in my opinion, there is nothing here for fans of Celtic music. (I gave it one star because the opening theme with the Uilleann Pipes is simply beautiful -- too bad the rest of the album did not carry through with this style.)

5.0 out of 5 stars My life before and after Missa Celtica, June 9, 2001

By 

"lalo_loescher" (San Isidro, BS. AS. Argentina) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Missa Celtica (Audio CD)

My life changed when I heard Missa Celtica.

This music is one of the best I have ever heard. I am not british and I do not know about the authentic celtic music and what celtic music must be. I am simply talking about music. MUSIC.

I can not describe with words how this music transports me.

This music is so deep. It needs to be heard a lot of times to be embraced with all its moments of passion, sorrow, love, pitty, happiness and triumph.

I would need one star more to rate it SIX over five.
