Music reviews of More Irish Folk Tales for Children
Music Review: EXCELLENT for children and adults
Rating: 5 Stars
My five-year-old son loves both of these CDs and though he has a fairly large, diverse and good quality CD collection, he requests these Irish Tales far more often than other ones --- for more than a year now.The stories are great, the voices she gives the characters well-done and the music glorious. Do yourself a favor and buy BOTH of the tales. Just right for all of us Celts, and for those not who just love a great story well-told.
Description of More Irish Folk Tales for Children
Half a decade after she released the beguiling Irish Folk Tales for Children, Sharon Kennedy returns with another winning album of Irish tales for kids, even though adults will find these folk tales just as entrancing and entertaining. In one example of the rich and magical world Kennedy serves up in four stories (totaling more than an hour of storytelling with one brief Irish musical interlude), pigs can't stop dancing ("Annie O'Reilly and the Magic Dancing Pig"). Of course, underlying this 16-minute fable is a sly critique, as the king of England wants this prized pig as his own and is wont to take things, but the pig eludes royal grasp. Kennedy proves again she's an accomplished seanachie (that's Gaelic for storyteller). Her voice is rich, warm, and musical as she spins imaginative foibles such as Tommy O'Rourke's visit to the moon, or as she delightfully relates an abridged version of the old Beowulf yarn in "Finn McCool." In the age of Harry Potter's magical adventures--and way too much TV watching--here's a grand listening exercise for children that will capture their heads and hearts while hopefully helping to keep their ears on. --Martin KellerGeneral CDs
