Music reviews of Celtic Dreams
Music Review: Meav And Anuna Make An Unbeatable Irish Combination
Rating: 5 Stars
"Celtic Dreams" features Meav Ni Mhaolchatha, famed Celtic soprano and former vocalist with super group Celtic Woman, in earlier days when she toured and recorded with Anuna, the brilliant Celtic choral group that has spawned a number of famous Irish vocalists from its ranks, including fellow Celtic Women Orla Fallon, Deirdre Shannon (Gilsenan), as well as the popular and talented Irish singer, Eimear Quinn.
This record could be looked at as a crass attempt to make extra cash by capitalizing on Meav's name recognition from Celtic Woman, and perhaps it is, but what's most important is that the music is superb. Meav's vocals are universally recognized as some of the sweetest, purest, and when needed, most haunting in contemporary music. Coupled this with the power and majesty of Anuna's chorus and you have beatiful music. Standout selections on this record are "St. Nicholas," "Gentrai," "Beati Quorum Via," and the dread-filled, foreboding "When I Was In My Prime."
This is a wonderful collection and gives the listerner the desire to hear collections featuring the other famous solo artists who began their careers with Anuna.
Description of Celtic Dreams
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.In 1994, Irish soprano Mèav Nì Mhaolchatha (pronounced Mäev Nee Wail-cot-ha) became a featured soloist with Anùna, 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---Méav plus Chloë, Lisa, Órla, and Máiréad---followed its massive success with a torrent of solo albums: Méav?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 Anùna during the original Riverdance sessions, the vast majority with Méav 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 Roden
