Music reviews of Celtic Dreams
Music Review: Celtic Dreams
Rating: 3 Stars
This is a good CD. It did not contain as much of Meav's excellent solo abilities as I had excepted. She has a remarkable voice and great diction. Especially for a high soprano. I think that much of the music on this CD was from Meav's younger days, before she developed her style and perfected she abilities. Her solo work and work with Celtic Woman is much better than on this CD.
Take away the concentration on Meav that this album is geared toward and it is a very good Anuna collection. The song selections are good and their harmonies are great as they normally are. There are probably better Anuna CDs available.
If you are looking specifically for Meav, I'd suggest skipped this CD and get one of her solo CDs instead.
Description of Celtic Dreams
In 1994, Irish soprano M?av N? Mhaolchatha (pronounced M?ev Nee Wail-cot-ha) became a featured soloist with An?na, Michael McGlynn's Dublin-based choral ensemble. Her star rose after the group toured with the Riverdance troupe and quickly achieved international renown. Then, in 2005, an extravaganza called Celtic Woman debuted, and its five female singers---M?av plus Chlo?, Lisa, ?rla, and M?ir?ad---followed its massive success with a torrent of solo albums: M?av's eponymous release (2002) and Silver Sea (2004) are only two examples thereof. These offered still more Enya-esque, mostly ethereal ballads from Irish and other sources: all very effective in their way but pure mass-market show-biz and best avoided by die-hard traditional music fans. But the material on the current reissue dates back to the Riverdance era and is another matter entirely. It showcases thirteen tracks recorded by An?na during the original Riverdance sessions, the vast majority with M?av singing lead. The stately and elegiac program harbors recollections of composers Edward MacDowell and more recently, Patrick Cassidy, or even Ralph Vaughn-Williams, who so often incorporated British folk and early music sources into his works. --Christina RodenGeneral CDs
