 A Fine Take on Some Christmas Classics April 28, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
With the success of their CDs, DVDs, and concert tours, the ensemble group Celtic Woman was sure to release a Christmas DVD and this effort is wonderful. Produced by David Downes, this DVD features Christmas Carols and Christmas songs performed both as solos by the members of the group and as ensemble arrangements. I found the performances to be polished, the arrangements generally well suited to the talent, and the recording is excellent. The DVD features additional tracks not found on the CD.
Highlights include Orla on "Away in the Manger," an ensemble performance of "Oh Holy Night," and "The Little Drummer Boy" performed by Chloe and Orla. Lisa Kelly also puts her experience in musical theater to good use in a fine rendition of Mel Torme's classic, "The Christmas Song."
My disappointments are few. The rendition of "Carol of the Bells" was arranged as a feature for fiddle player Mairead Nesbitt. While her performance is excellent, I cannot think of a Christmas song better suited to the a cappella vocal talents of Celtic Woman. I found "Green the Whole Year Round" to be forgetable as a Christmas song and even the vocal talents of Lisa Kelly could not save it. The DVD did help me make sense of the uncharactericly jazzy arrangement of "Let It Snow." The intro, which is not on the CD, helps make it clear and it is much more enjoyable to see it that to simply listen to it.
Overall, this is a very enjoyable Christmas video with perfromances by some extremely talented ladies. I highly recommend it. Merry Christmas and God bless corset dresses!

This cd is certainly one of the best Holiday Christmas presentations available. The total presentation shows the great vocal qualities and personalities of each of the cast.
 Great Music,fair production April 3, 2008

The wardrobe or head costumer should look at the client or talent before designing or fight for a lovely look as opposed to the God awful gowns and the director's stiffly staged posing....almost enough to detract from the music, but the performances come through

I thought I already owned some of the best Christmas concerts out there:
this DVD is a solid winner and I'm happy to add this to my collection. Watching and listening to the voices, fiddle and orchestra perform the lovely music of the Christmas season I am swept up in the aura of sincere worship to the Christ Child of Bethlehem. This crew has success after success after success...may they enjoy much more and again share it with us.
OUTSTANDING! March 12, 2008
