Editorial Review: Album Description: Celtic music. Loreena Mckennitt, Mychael Danna, Bill Douglas & Joanie Madden. Amazon.com: The original in the internationally popular Hearts of Space series, Celtic Twilight is a collection of 14 pieces: 8 from the label's artist stable of recordings--including a quartet of compositions from HOS stalwart Bill Douglas--and 6 from other carefully selected artists. An instrumental recording, save for the standout "Ancient Pines" from singer-instrumentalist Loreena McKennitt and the Bill Douglas closer featuring soprano Jane Grimes, Celtic Twilight combines traditional Celtic whistles, acoustic strings, and bagpipes with contemporary keyboards. Gentle, lilting and romantic, these songs are the music of the ocean and rolling green hills, of that magical pink-sky time of evening when the lines between myth and reality blur in a most pleasing fashion. --Paige La Grone Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Soothing MusicThis is one of the nicest, most soothing collection of celtic music that I have found in a very long time. I recommend it to all who enjoy the relaxing qualities of this type of music. Rating: - The second time I've had this album...I owned this album as a cassette tape years ago, and though the tape wore out a long time ago I've been wanting to replace it for quite a while. I finally went ahead, and I'm loving it as much as I loved it as a teenager. I'm glad I didn't forget about this cd. I highly recommend it for anyone who likes upbeat, light celtic tunes. Rating: - Dreams of Green, Rolling Hills and Rocky CragsI originally purchased this CD in a Discovery Channel store in the mid-90's that was playing it on their stereo system. What I heard was very awe-inspiring, and even today the music still moves me in that same manner. However, Celtic music is more than music played on traditional Irish instruments; indeed, that music is defined by the moods the music creates rather than just the instruments utilized. This recording takes me on a journey to green, rolling hills and rocky crags while my mind is bathed in the musical waves exuded in the various selections. In some scenes, one soars high overhead those green hills and crags, whereas in others one may participate in a traditional Irish gig in "Diamond Dance," or experience the grim ...

I've picked a few CD's because of their covers, and it hasn't always been a pleasant surprise... This time, however, I was not dissappointed. The album has this true Celtic feeling over it, and when I sit at my room listening to it I can see the beautiful landscapes of Ireland clearly before me. There are so many CD's of Celtic and Irish music, and a lot of them are just garbage. I'm very happy to say this wasn't. The tracks I liked the most will have to be track nr 1: John Doan with Farewell, track nr 4: Joanie Madden with Women of Ireland, nr 6: Bill Douglas with Windhorse and nr 9: Radhika Miller with Origins. Origins is the album's best track. ... Read More: |
