Fueled by healthy public appetite for traditional melodies and quasi-ethnic roots, the crossover genre continues to flourish with this debut release from Ireland's Celtic Woman ensemble. The brainchild of Sharon Browne, Dave Kavanaugh (founders of Ireland's successful Celtic Collections label) and young IRiverdance/I touring company musical director David Downes, CW's five young women musicians and vocalists offer up an ever pleasant, Eire-savvy fusion of folk, pop and classical influences. Avoiding the intrusive, club-beat/sex kitten window dressing of IBond/I, the ensemble tackles material that ranges from the expected (spare, lovely covers of "Danny Boy" and "Ave Maria") to more adventurous fare like "Nella Fantasia" (Ennio Morricone's vocal adaptation of his rapturous theme from IThe Mission/I) and Enya's "Orinoco Flow." Elsewhere, "The Butterfly" offers up fiddle-fueled take on their Riverdance parallels (which also get a workout on the live bonus tracks), if renditions of Downes' originals like "One World" and "Send Me a Song" and "Someday" from Disney's animated IHunchback of Notre Dame/I hew slavishly to the middle of the road -- which largely seems the album's easy-listening intention. I--Jerry McCulley/I

Great music and Video March 4, 2007
Kimster
Saw Celtic Woman A New Journey on PBS and couldn't wait to buy it. The combination of new and old music is great. My favorite is "At The Celi" I've watched the DVD several times, always intending to have it playing in the background but their voices and the spectacular show at Slane Castle always draws me away form what ever I'm doing. Thank you PBS or I'd never would have had a chance to here these fantastic singers.

Above average sound quality. Good orchestra although less known (Polish). The filming itself very good , high quality colour camera work. Works best with high quality and large format tv above average quality loudspeakers.
