Free Music Review: Still a fan, but not my favorite Chieftains CD
Hit: 3 Stars
I love the Chieftains, I think I own almost every one of their CD's. And even though this one is okay, I found myself skipping ahead to see if the next song was better or interesting. Again, I love the Chieftains, just not a fan of this CD.
Celtic Wedding: Music of Brittany Poster
Brittany, in western France, is an ancient Celtic homeland whose language and music are closely related to those of Wales and Cornwall. And although Breton folklorist Polig Monjarret only jokingly suggested that the Chieftains do a Breton album, they did just that. Celtic Wedding remains one of their finest outings. Breton music is subtle when compared to Irish, Scottish, and Welsh music, with complex rhythms, rich harmonies, and spin-on-a-dime call-and-response refrains. The venerable Irish sextet seems refreshed and exhilarated by the cross-pollination. Local musicians sit in, playing the bombarde (a notoriously bad-tempered oboe) and biniou (Breton bagpipes), and singing in the Breton language, which is making a strong comeback after long years of repression. --Christina RodenFolk Music CDs
