Too much of a big stage musical

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Fáilte!

My guess is that the people that will like this DVD and CD as a top five star rating would generally be a marginal audience of traditional Irish Music without the big stage production to sell it. I suppose it is just a matter of taste and there is nothing wrong in liking big stage productions. But there is also nothing wrong in a preference for Irish Traditional Music the Irish traditional way in a much simpler and friendlier pub style form as roots music.

Between the two projects of this producer, my preference would be High Kings. That is a simpler production that includes a pub style sing along for the "Irish Rover." If there are more productions in the future, I would certainly encourage taking this direction.

I have been involved in playing and listening to Irish Traditional Music for decades. The pub can offer what they call "craic" (pronounced "crack") in Ireland, or an atmosphere of community fun and friendship. This was captured in Danu's DVD "One Night Stand." This was captured in the Cheiftains DVD "Water from the Well." This was captured in Dervish's two DVD's, "Midsummers Night Session" and "Live from Johnny Fox's." On CD, this is captured on "Music from Matt Molloy's." I would also have to say the DVD "Ragus" presents a small theatre production PERSONAL approach to the same type of music.

Celtic Woman

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Celtic Woman is a fantastic production. We have watched it 3 times already
and plan to enjoy it again many times in the future. I enjoy the music and
the total production. I would recommend the music of the Celtic Women to any
ne who likes relaxing music with an ethnic bend. RB
