Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The Capercaillie Collection opens with five videos, and follows them with 15 live tracks from 1992 concerts at the Capital Theatre in Aberdeen and the Nairn Harbourfest. This concert material from Scotland's most successful Celtic folk-rockers was originally issued on VHS as Two Nights of Delirium. Of the videos, "Breisleach" opens the set with gentle atmospherics, leading into the hit singles "Coisch a Ruin" and "Waiting for the Wheel to Turn." "Miracle of Being" is a detour into AOR, while the final video, "Ailein Duinn," is from the film Rob Roy. The concert footage is less polished, more vibrant and rousing. The hits are repeated, while 13 other tracks enthusiastically mix Clannad-style synthesisers and Celtic mist with Scottish folk updated to include some funky bouzouki playing. Topped by Karen Matheson's beautiful vocals, this is must for fans, and thoroughly entertaining for all die-hard folk traditionalists. --Gary S. Dalkin, Amazon.co.uk

Product Description

From their homeland roots of Argyll in the Highlands of Scotland, Capercaillie have been credited with being the major force in bringing traditional Celtic music to the world stage, and inspiring the great resurgence so evident today. The Capercaillie Collection features the best of the Band on Video, as well as a re-release of the classic in-concert special Two Nights of Delirium.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect vehicle to introduce Capercaillie to America!, September 14, 2000

By	Pete Senoff (Encino, CA USA) - See all my reviews

If you are not already a fan of the incredible Scottish group Capercaillie, you will be after viewing this performance-oriented video. As its title proclaims, it's a collection of previous video performances from 1990-1996...prime creative years for a group that continues to push the envelope for quality, artistic integrity and sheer musicality. Lead singer Karen Matheson displays a vocal quality that hovers between sheer beauty and classic tradition as she alternates between both Gaelic and English language songs. The production quality of the videos is high, but never over-the-edge. The visuals include straight concert footage (from the legendary 1992 "Two Nights of Delirium" concert in Scotland) to soft, dreamy images that intertwine the band's music with the Scottish countryside. Particular showcases on this tape are two of Capercaillie's best-known songs, "Coisich A Ruin" and "Alasdair Mhic Cholla Ghasda" (I don't understand Gaelilc, but the beauty and sincerity of Karen Matheson's voice is overpowering). The band, itself, is tight throughout the video. The video is quite a bargain...there are over 25 selections spread over 70 minutes. Bottom line: If you are already a fan of Capercaillie, rush out to get this video. Since they don't tour America very often, it is the perfect vehicle to witness a live performance of the music that's been displayed over their 10+ album releases. If you are not YET a fan but want to experience the best that Celtic music has to offer...highlighted by the truly awesome vocals of Karen Matheson...get this video.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!, July 15, 2000

By	Mark Arnold (Geneseo, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Capercaillie Collection 1990-1996 (DVD)

I have a European edition of this DVD (it was released earlier). It is an excellent showcase of this great Scottish band! Live footage, music type videos and scenes from "Rob Roy". Karen Matheson is a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice! You will enjoy this DVD that tracks Capercaillie from 1990-1996. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars I'd give it five stars if longer, July 24, 2002

By	S. Haninger (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Capercaillie Collection 1990-1996 (DVD)

I think I have every US release of Capercaillie's CDs. They have been in my town years ago and I missed their appearances. I look forward to their delayed US tour. This is a fine group of musicians who just work so well together. Karen Matheson's voice and musical range has no peer. She can sing gaelic songs in such a way that I care not that I have no understanding of what is being sung. Her voice and artistry are more than enough to make her music worth listening to. The band's musical and vocal harmonies tell me that these performers work to make it's audience happy. As to what musical genre they belong to, I could not say. This makes listening to Capercaillie a new and refreshing departure for those who like musical exploration. See this one and share it with a friend.
