Fueled by healthy public appetite for traditional melodies and quasi-ethnic roots, the crossover genre continues to flourish with this debut release from Ireland's Celtic Woman ensemble. The brainchild of Sharon Browne, Dave Kavanaugh (founders of Ireland's successful Celtic Collections label) and young Riverdance touring company musical director David Downes, CW's five young women musicians and vocalists offer up an ever pleasant, Eire-savvy fusion of folk, pop and classical influences. Avoiding the intrusive, club-beat/sex kitten window dressing of Bond, the ensemble tackles material that ranges from the expected (spare, lovely covers of "Danny Boy" and "Ave Maria") to more adventurous fare like "Nella Fantasia" (Ennio Morricone's vocal adaptation of his rapturous theme from The Mission) and Enya's "Orinoco Flow." Elsewhere, "The Butterfly" offers up fiddle-fueled take on their Riverdance parallels (which also get a workout on the live bonus tracks), if renditions of Downes' originals like "One World" and "Send Me a Song" and "Someday" from Disney's animated Hunchback of Notre Dame hew slavishly to the middle of the road -- which largely seems the album's easy-listening intention. --Jerry McCulley

The enchanting celtic sound flows perfectly from each song in this album: Some are up-beat and lively, and some are slow and solemn - but each song captures the essence of the celtic spirit. The soloists differ greatly in individual style and ability, yet each performs their own song with a sound that makes you think, "Perfect" in every sense of the word. If you love celtic music or light classical, you will love this album.
Nella Fantasia is a classic, and the young singer's control ... Read More

Their music continues to prove just how sweet voices can be raised in harmony and can envolk flights of fantacy as you listen to their music. For someone raised on folk and pop music from the years of protest over the Vietnam war it is a joy to be able to listen to music that is undrestandable.
