Hit: 4 Stars
I have to write this brief review because the above reviewer is so misinformed it pained me not to. First of all it is called celtic wedding (not because it is about weddings)but it is the marrige between two celtic cultures;the Breton culture from the Brittany region of France (the original celts)and their younger cousins the Irish, in this case represented by the Chieftains. Like they did on "Santiago" (imulating their celtic cousins from the north of Spain)the chameleon like Chieftains replicate these famous french tunes with technical proficiency but without the overplayed pretentiousness of many newer celtic bands. So if you want to venture accross the channel to the older culture of Brittany you can not have a safer guide than the Chieftains. They have since become the ambassadors of traditional music throughout the world, they have played Chinese music and the other Breton music (the scotts irish music from Cape breton island Canada)as well as American Appalachian music Etc Etc. So this cd is worth checking out on so many levels, if your a student of world music, a culture hound or just want to groove on some dark well played celtic music from the continent this one has it covered. If you are looking at this cd because of the Chieftains brand name? The old saying says it best "the Chieftians are the Chieftians are the Chieftians" very consistant and reliable, always entertaining. Listen to music samples from other albums and you will get a major clue if you will like this one.
