5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible... Enchanting... A must buy for Whelan fans, September 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Roots of Riverdance Boxed Set: Roots of Riverdance, The Seville Suite, Riverdance, Some Mother's Son (Audio CD)

I purchased this box set only knowing of Whelan's work with the Riverdance score. I was not disappointed... far from it! The Soundtrack to 'Some Mother's Son' has not left my CD player since I put it in there 5 days ago... The other discs that come in the set are just as fabulous... Riverdance, Roots of Riverdance, and the Seville Suite. If you're a fan of the Riverdance score... then by all means, treat yourself to some of his other fantastic works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Roots of Riverdance/Bill Whelan., June 17, 2001

Bill Whelan is a genius! From the very first time I listened to his music in Riverdance I automatically fell in love with this wonderful type of music. Here in Mexico the Celtic music is not quite popular, and it's difficult to find albums like this, but fortunately I have this one and I highly recommend it. The music is beautiful, and I keep wondering how gifted was this man to have the ability to write such nice compositions. Definitely, if you like Celtic music, you will enjoy this album indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not as greaat as Riverdance and Lord of the Dance but music's still good., July 30, 2005

This review is from: Roots of Riverdance (Audio CD)

Although the music's doesn't compete with Riverdance, let alone "Lord of the Dance" this is still filled with lovely songs once again great music. "Timedance" and "Chetvorno Horo" are my favorite songs, but I also like "Mystic Seacliffs" and "Bridge Attack" and of course, "Women of the Sidhe" from Riverdance. It's all pretty good music, and if you like Riverdance, then well, enjoy
