Product Description: Gorgeous to listen to and gorgeous to look at, Celtic Woman is perfect PBS fare, sort of a Riverdance without the dancing. Drawing on the same New Age-y sound and propulsive energy as that show's solo-voice and choral numbers, the live concert features four attractive young women in strapless evening gowns with soaring voices backed by an orchestra, an Anuna-like chorus, and a large percussion section. The more traditional fare includes Méav Ni Mhaolchatha's "Danny Boy" and "She Moved Through the Fair," and Chloë Agnew's "Ave Maria" (the Bach-Gounod version). Movie and TV selections range from Agnew's "Walking in the Air" (The Snowman) and "Someday" (Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame) to Lisa Kelly's "May It Be" (the Enya song from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the King) and Órla Fallon's voice and harp rendition of "Harry's Game." A fifth woman, Máiréad Nesbitt, adds some variety by fiddling "The Butterfly" and "Ashokan Farewell" (best known as the theme from Ken Burns's The Civil War). Occasionally the singers join together, as in Enya's "Orinoco Flow," an a cappella rendition of West Side Story's "Somewhere," music director David Downes's composition "One World," and a stately version of "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring." Celtic Woman was created by Downes (like many of the other performers, a Riverdance veteran) along with Sharon Browne and Dave Kavanagh of the Celtic Collections record label. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews
Celtic Woman
I thought that I was getting a cd when the dvd was ordered. That was a wonderful mistake! My wife and I watched it the next Saturday night, since we can't afford the tickets for the real concert. We recommend this video highly! Even if this is ordered by mistake, the experience is worth it! The Irish have a really wonderful group of talented women and the world is lucky to be able to enjoy their music.Celtic Woman

Awsome concert
This is a must have DVD for any fans of the CELTIC Woman. If you can't see them in concert see this DVD.

Good Clean Pictures
I think this one was the first video of celtic woman, and many good songs that sing beautifully.

fantastic music and singing!
I really enjoyed this dvd! Altho the entire production is rather staged and stiff due to all the regimented ways they walk, stand and move - its still very enjoyable to watch. I attended one of their concerts recently and could anticipate their every move. BUT, I LOVE THEIR MUSIC! Cloe has grown up and sounds even better as she is strengthening her voice and style. Its a great family 'movie' that leaves you inspired!
