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 ("Dulaman" 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

 Love the Celtic Woman December 20, 2008
If you've never seen these women in person you have missed a great opportunity to be entertained. Great voices and great songs.
Celtic Women, A New Journey December 18, 2008
This is about the 7th one of these I have bought through Amazon.com. Have given them to all my siblings and a few friends. Love the Celtic Women!!

Ordered this CD on a preview of the "Spanish Woman" track. Oops..
Spanish woman was my favourite from the DVD. Why would they not put it on this CD, and why don't they mention that it does not include all tracks?
A "new fan" takes to the Celtic Woman Phenomenon. October 21, 2008
These DVDs are available in our local library for a three day check out. I thought, well, I will check them out and watch them sing. I never knew that I would be totally overcome with these singers, composer, Mr. David Downes and the incredible Mairead, the Irish whirlwind that you "can't get enough of" to quote David Downes. I immediately had to order my own copies and developed a following of each one of them because they are so uniquely different and equally mesmerizing. The songs literally soar into your consciousness and I agree with some of the reviewers that some of the songs may not be top choices as far as material goes-who cares, though.
The incomprable Maeve may be singing, or that Crystal voice from heaven, Chloe may be issueing her notes with those eyes of expression that tell you the words and sentiments are real...Or the fantastic with-out peer, Lisa Kelly transporting you to places in Ireland or Scotland( I have her Audio CD-it is sensational)or the exquisite Orla Fallon playing her harp and singing of Ireland, or Away in a manger, or Shuil A Run-she's magnificent and can show Joy on her face that has no parallel. So with the gifts that these women have, the shaping and molding and fashioning of David Downs, the tapestry weaving of Mairead you have a musical experience like nothing you have ever experienced before, so I can understand how audiences the world over have taken to them. I recommend you buy and watch the DVDs first, and then order all the Audio CD's that each of them have made. Don't forget to purchase Hayley Westernra's DVD also because there is another phenomenal voice from New Zealand and arrangements well done, but you don't crave to watch hers over and over
like you do the Celtic Woman. It was wonderful she joined them at Slane Castle. I would say why wait, purchase the dvds and then the Audio CD's of any of the CW, you will not be disappointed.Maybe you can keep from getting the So called C W O D( Celtic Woman Obsessive Disorder) but I seriously doubt it if you have any music instrumental or vocal in your back ground!
