Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
I first heard this album on vinyl which belonged to a French Canadian girl, but she took back home with her. I was surprised to find the same album in a Vintage Vinyl store, but no record player. Glad to finally have it on cd!
I just started getting in to Alan Stivell through a copy of Renaissance of the Celtic Harp, a 1971 (or '72) release, an album of Celtic harp music that's really a cut above the rest, even convinced me who isn't a fan of Celtic music. So I went and bought another album, in this case 1978's Journee a la Maison. This one is a more band effort with harp, flute, bagpipes, concertina, guitar, sitar, tabla, etc. This is truly a unique bent on Celtic music, because one cut mixes sitar with Celtic styles, giving a sort of East Meets West hybrid. Another cut sounds a little like Crosby, Stills & Nash going Celtic, which I thought was a really stunning piece, while another is an upbeat piece complete with Scottish bagpipes. Vocals are on most of the cuts, and since I can't understand the language, I presume it's in Breton, after all Alan Stivell was one of Britanny's top Celtic musicians. I am not familiar with Breton folk music, but this is truly a winner for me, and bear in mind, I'm not in to Celtic music. Great stuff and I highly recommend this album.
This is a really, really good album, one of Stivell's best, and I see it's out of print, even in France. Don't pay an absurd amount for a copy. Spend a little time with Google and a word like "rapidshare" or "megaupload" and you might just find what you're looking for. Just sayin'.
DE LO MEJOR DE ALAN STIVELL. UNA GRAN SATISFACCIÓN HABERLO ENCONTRADO TRAS AÑOS DE BÚSQUEDA. PERFECTO PARA ESCUCHAR RELAJADAMENTE EN UNA JORNADA EN CASA.
Retour au traditionnel après plusieurs années de tâtonnements divers, cet album possède des pépites comme cette chanson des fileuses des îles Hébrides. L'occasion de se retremper aux sources pour les blasés.
