Editorial Reviews
The Washington Post
"Steeped in tradition yet often wed to the contemporary, few CDs span the gap of generations so gracefully."
New Age Retailer
"Harmoniously walking the tightrope between ancient Celtic cadences and progressive world beat...a colorful modern dance."

Strong and Subtle album,
By Bannefin (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mystic Dance: A Celtic Celebration (Audio CD)
This was the album that prompted me to hire Maggie Sansone and three musicians to accompany her for my wedding last weekend. Having gone to the Maryland Renn Faire for over ten years, I have long been around her playing and have found her compositions both ancient in their appeal and near perfection for anyone interested in primarily medievalesque and Celtic pieces. This album varies a bit more from her others, touching into some more middle eastern themes (which worked well for the belly dancer) as well as reaching into some more tribal themes to a light extent. If you are looking for more traditional Celtic dulcimer I recommend Into the Light. She does one thing I particularly enjoy that other Celtic/medieval musicians do not, while the songs on her albums compliment and flow well together, she does not have the simple variations on a theme that many artists do after recording two to three solid tracks. Each song is fresh, crisp, and with an air of its own. I highly recommend if you have enjoyed artists such as John Doan and Loreena McKennit (instrumental, not vocal pieces). We will be hiring them for another performance later this year, they brought such vitality and spirit to their music I am sure you will be swept up by it.

Evocative music with world music influences from Maggie Sansone and her musicians,
By
This review is from: Mystic Dance: A Celtic Celebration (Audio CD)
A wonderful follow up to Maggie Sansone's A Traveler's Dream, Mystic Dance incudes a host of musicians, in addition to Sansone's hammered dulcimer,
hear Sue Richards on Celtic harp, Robin Bullock on cittern , mandoin and guitar, Bobby Read on woodwind, to create a chamber like ensemble sound with rich harmonies. It also includes a duo on santur and hammered dulcimer with use of minor scales and syncopations. Produced by the wonderful Bobby Read.
