Free Music Notes for Celtic Circle 2
Free Music Review: 5 stars alone for including Brian Kennedy's magnificent "Carrickfergus"!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I am an all-out Brian Kennedy fanatic. Brian who, you ask? Brian Kennedy, Belfast-born singer with a voice of spun gold, was Van Morrison's back up singer for several years, recorded the *original* You Raise Me Up (NOT Josh Groban), starred in hundreds of Riverdance on Broadway shows, and for all of that, he's unheard-of in the US. Celtic Circle 2 includes Brian's soul-wrenching rendition of "Carrickfergus," a beautiful song of lament, accompanied only by Brian's less-is-more acoustic guitar. Haunting.
Besides the wonderful gift of Brian Kennedy, Celtic Circle 2 builds on the solid combination of modern Celtic music and Irish-influenced New Age that was so successful on Vol. 1. This time around, we have two discs of the Chieftains (the timeless "Love Theme from Barry Lyndon" and "The Foggy Dew" with Sinead O'Connor), Clannad (Caislean Oir, Newgrange, Almost Seems), Maire Brennan, Irish-American powerhouse Cherish The Ladies, Aine Minogue, Nightnoise, fabulous Irish bagpiper Davy Spillane, James Galway, and the stellar team of Susan McKeown and Natalie Merchant on "River." Sarah McLachlan even makes an early appearance with Celtic-inspired "Drawn To The Rhythm." My only lament is that Loreena McKennitt wasn't featured; Ms. McKennitt's early works were classical Celtic-influenced melodies set to famous poems, accompanied by harp.
It's a much-welcome breath of fresh air to see Celtic and New Age done so well, as BMG has consistently shown on its "Celtic Circle" releases. So many "Celtic" releases are in fact substandard New Age treacle with anonymous vocals and synth instruments, but here we have 30 outstanding tracks that capture the lyric, melancholy beauty of the Irish nature, recorded by masters of the trade (the Chieftains have been around for more than three decades!). Yes, there are New Age pieces, too, tracks from Lord of the Rings and Titanic, but there is a much more balanced look at modern Celtic on Celtic Circle 2 than on the first (more Celtic, less New Age).
Perfect music for relaxing to at the end of a long day -- light a few candles, close your eyes, and let the soothing Celtic melodies inspire and refresh your weary spirit.
