Product Description: Second only to Riverdance as an international Irish showbiz phenomenon, previous installments of this Platinum-selling extravaganza have become beloved PBS standards. The original buxom quartet of female singers, Lisa, Maev, Orla, and Chloe, have duly been joined by Hayley and are, as usual, backed by a full symphony orchestra and choir, plus enough traditional instruments (the house fiddler, Mairead, is a powerhouse) to keep things legit. The material ranges from folkloric ("Dúlaman" is best known from Clannad's legendary rendering), to a standard from another Celtic nation ("Caledonia," Dougie McLean's love letter to his native Scotland), to classical lite (Handel's poignant "Laschia Ch'io Pianga"), to movie hits ("Somewhere Over The Rainbow" in a delicately lovely, a cappella, close-harmony treatment), to homegrown New Age (Enya's "Newgrange"). Most tracks are produced to turn, presented in the aural equivalent of Technicolor or day-glo, in which colors pop while diverging ever so slightly from nature. In short, although the album offers fresh material, it covers old ground -- but this is exactly what the act's target audience expects and desires. Fans of acoustic folk would likely find the prevailing aesthetic a touch garish, but fans of Sarah Brightman and Il Divo will be diverted and thrilled. The deluxe package offers four bonus tracks, three of them live, plus a silver claddagh charm. --Christina Roden Celtic Woman Photos More from Celtic Woman

Beautiful!
Celtic Woman is an amazing group of diverse voices and women. Their ranges are amazing! Their individual voices are beautiful and together they are unstoppable. Highly recommend the dvd too as the show is amazing and their gowns are just spectacular! Love it! xoxoxoxo

Beautiful
I simply adore Celtic Woman, and this album is just brilliant. I hope to meet them someday in person (this is coming from a 17 year old boy).

Celtic Woman Needs More Fiddle
I saw the concert at Radio City and was truly WOWED by it. Unfortunately this CD contains mostly soft, quiet songs. They are great, but it needed more of the electricity of the fiddle, drums, etc. Both in the concert and on the CD, the use of non-Celtic music was not needed. There is plenty of ALL Celtic music to handle a concert and CD.

Celtic woman's new journey
I have given this CD as a gift many times. This is our all time favorite CD. I ordered it for a hostess gift for St. Patrick's Day event and it was received with enthusiasm. We never get tired of the music, songs, or the taleneted ladies who preform.

A new Journey
These girls are a "delight". I have seen them in concert, and they are excellent. I enjoy completely everything they record. By far the best of their products is the DVD of the concert at Slane Castle. Just excellent in every way.
