Derek Bell (1935-2002), the Chieftains' longtime harpist, was a former child prodigy who mastered the piano, several woodwinds and even the cimbalom, which he played on Maurice Jarre's soundtrack to Doctor Zhivago. He was already a noted classical composer and multi-instrumentalist by the time he picked up the harp in mid-life, but it soon consumed him. After meeting Paddy Moloney in 1972, he sat in on the Chieftains 4, still one of the group's finest albums. His unexpected death left surviving band-mates bereft but typically, they decided to celebrate his life with the music he loved so dearly. Drawn from two memorial concerts which were aired on Irish radio, the selections exemplify the Chieftains' twin doctrines of Celtic authenticity and global inclusion. But after the joy and remembrance, Triona Marshal, alone with her harp, plays the Farewell To Music. There could not have been a dry eye in the house. --Christina Roden

 Great Music - Terrible CD October 24, 2007
When I played this on my computer it installed software that corrupted my playback software. I love the music but am severly pissed that I can't play it on my computer. Don't The Chieftains and RCA have enough money that they have to screw up the systems of poor fools like me? Derek Bell is probably flipping in his grave. Hell, I may never spend another Euro in Matt Malloy's pub and Paddy Maloney should be ashamed to call himself an Irishman - an Orangeman seems more like it.
 Good CD - Horrible Copy Protection January 20, 2006
7 out of 10 found this review helpful
I bought this CD while I was at a Chieftans concert last night. I listened to it in my car first, so I didn't notice a problem. I really enjoyed the CD and wanted to listen to it with headphones at my desk with my computer. I stuck the CD in my computer and it starts trying to download and install the copy protection software. Well of course all of the security software on my computer went crazy thinking I had some sort of virus. I had to completely turn off all of my security on my computer to even get the CD to play on my computer. Then after copying the files to my computer to listen in windows media player, I unistalled the software it downloaded. This made my media player crash when I tried to play the files. Great CD, but the copy protection needs to be executed in a better fasion. I'm not really happy with having to turn off all of my security on my computer just to listen to a CD - especially when I'm on a high speed LAN connection.

Musically this is probably an ok CD - I say probably because as others have said it is so hard to listen to this CD it is going to gather a lot of dust. A waste of money and one I shall not repeat. .
corrupted CD March 18, 2005

I purchased the Live from Dublin CD and much to my dismay my computer tells me the CD is corrupted. If go through some trouble you can propably get the thing to play on your computer but will probable not be allowed to listen to it on an mp3 player I am required to install spyware on my computer? I gave up and am returning the album. I am sure the music is great but it is a bit to restictive for me. They cannot trust me but I must trust them to access the music and then on only some of my players?
Sincerely Jim Meehan
 Missing Derek Bell March 4, 2005

This is a fitting tribute to Derek Bell, the "lovliest old rogue" of the Chieftains. On some selections, the sound is "thin" because his harp work is gone. That is a poignant
inclusion and I appreciate it.
