Free Music Notes for Riverdance: Music From The ShowFree Music Review: Wow Hit: 5 Stars
Celtic music has always been wonderful. This soundtrack brings it to a new level.
Free Music Review: A real mix, from traditional to pop Hit: 4 Stars
I like this CD very much, with the exception of, I think, 2 tracks. One problem with the CD (for me) is that it is a huge mix of styles, so while there is something for everyone, there probably aren't many people who will love all of it. However, it is all exceptionally well done. I actually prefer listening to the video with the video turned off because the rhythmic pounding of the tap/step dancing isn't part of the CD (or at least not the recording I have -- I have an early British release that only has half the tunes of this version. I gather it is an evolving product.)
Free Music Review: Mixed feelings Hit: 4 Stars
I watched Riverdance on PBS,,, loved it live! This is a studio remix without the performance feel. The dancing is almost non-existent, but the music is dead on. Make sure the music is what you wanted,,, otherwise you'll be disappointed. Still a great grouping of Irish music. There is no song more evocative or haunting than "Caoineadh Cu Chulainn (Lament)", performed by Davy Spillane on Uilleann Pipes. It always makes a chill go up my spine.
Free Music Review: Disappointment after seeing the show Hit: 4 Stars
I recently saw the show live & was excited to get the soundtrack. However, as many other reviewers have noted, it was a big disappointment - it doesn't match the charisma of the show. While it does have some great songs on it, you just don't get the feeling you got while actually watching the show, which was a tremendous feeling of excitement & thrill. I must add, I did pick up the 'Lord of Dance' soundtrack & was happily impressed.
Free Music Review: Emotional, eclectic, exhilirating - excellent! Hit: 4 Stars
Bill Whelan has, in this critic's opinion, captured the Irish spirit in song. The instrumentals are comforting, yet at the same time, awe-inspiring. The vocals touch your heart in a way that it perhaps has not been touched in a very long time, if ever. If you think you will never enjoy the Irish-style of music, try this one - it may very well change your mind forever!
