Free Music Notes for Songs From The Heart
Free Music Review: Loved it, but its missing a few things...
Hit: 5 Stars
I purchased the Deluxe version of this CD but all the songs from that one are on this one. So, here's my review for that version.
When deciding whether to get the deluxe version or the standard CD, the addition of the two additional tracks and the calendar swayed me (the extra songs were "The Call" and "Finale - Mo Ghile Mear"). I am glad I did, but the Amazon digital version has two different songs on it ("Carolina Rua" as sung by Lynn Hillary and "Danny Boy" sung by the four women) so I bought the 2 extra MP3s and copied the CD and reburnt it with those two extra tracks (plus others from the Amazon only download album). This is a great CD to get, but it still isn't complete. So spend the extra 4 bucks for the additional songs and remake the CD is my advice.
Songs From The Heart is a good mix of songs from the Isle of Hope concert tour and the Songs From the Heart concert tour. Songs from the Isle of Hope tour that didn't make it into this CD (and didn't have other versions on previous CDs) are: "Have I Told You Lately" "Carolina Rua" and "True Colors". Songs from the current tour that didn't end up on this CD are: "My Heart Was Home Again" and "Songs from the Heart: Walking The Night/Tabhair Dom Do Lamh". So keep your eyes open for the availability of those in the future (I hope!). The concerts also had new versions of "Orinoco Flow" "Danny Boy" "At The Ceili" "Spanish Lady" and "You Raise Me Up." (The Songs From The Heart tour was also supposed to have "Pie Jesu" and "O, America!" but the venue I went to (Fairfax on March 17th!), didn't have those songs, despite being printed in the program. But maybe we'll get a "Pie Jesu" release in the future also.
Regarding the content, after seeing the Isle of Hope concert, I'd have died if "Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears" wasn't on this CD so really, the fact that it was rates 5 stars from me. "Fields of Gold" took a while to grow on me because I loved the Eve Cassidy version, but now I really enjoy this one. "Amazing Grace" is a different arrangement than I am used to, but gorgeous. "Nil Se'n La" was fun and peppy. "My Lagan Love" was available in instrumental form by Mairead through Amazon, and I loved having the words; Lynn's voice is ethereal. "When You Believe" is a little revival-ish for me (as many of Chloe's songs lately have seemed to be) but she really sings the heck out of it. "The New Ground-Isle of Hope" LOVE IT. Favorite song of the CD. "The Coast of Galicia" is an instrumental and while good, watching Mairead play adds an extra oomph that is missing from the recording. "Non C'e Piu" was a lovely group number. "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" really showed off Lisa's ability to emote but keep it beautiful. "You'll Be In My Heart" is my least favorite song; Alex seems to overdrive it and force extra feeling in where none is needed--it is very musical theater to channel Simon Cowell. Plus, I kept hearing Phil Collins sing it. "Goodnight My Angel" was beautiful with Chloe, Lynn, and Lisa. Chloe had another win with "Galway Bay;" her accent really added another dimension to it. "O, America!" was a nice rousing tune, but seems so contrived to appeal to the older generation that makes up a large part of PBS and Celtic Woman's fanbase.
So, for four more dollars, you can get the extra four songs from Amazon and reburn the CD to increase the awesomeness.
Songs From The Heart Poster
The international Irish music phenomenon, Celtic Woman, is renowned for singing inspirational melodies and heartwarming songs that stir fans of all ages and cultures. The 5 member Irish female ensemble (vocalists Chloe, Lisa, Alex, Lynn and Celtic Violinist Mairead) under the musical direction of David Downes, categorically defined a distinct genre by putting a modern twist on the Celtic sound. In just four short years, the group has played nine US tours, released 4 CDs, 4 DVDs and performed for close to 1 million concert-goers. The group's albums have held the #1 position on the World Music Chart while their four PBS TV specials have dominated the broadcast circuit. As a testament to the group's ability to cross musical and cultural boundaries, 2009 saw Celtic Woman perform on ABC's Dancing With The Stars singing for 23 million viewers and at the White House for The National Christmas Tree Lighting before President Obama and his family. A true celebration of Ireland, Celtic Woman's unforgettable signature style can be enjoyed by all on their brand-new PBS TV special, concert tour, CD and DVD- Songs from the Heart.International Music CDs
