Celtic Woman - A Christmas Celebration

The very popular angelic singers of Celtic Woman take on the most beloved Christmas songs on this very inspiring, unique Christmas album. Chloë, Lisa, Moav, Ã"rla, and Mairoad lend their signature Celtic style to such classics as O Holy Night, Silent Night, The Little Drummer Boy, White Christmas, The Wexford Carol, O Come All Ye Faithful, Away in a Manger , and 8 more moving renditions. Most impressive about A Christmas Celebration is its glowing immediacy. The record's rich vocals and colorful instrumentals create a concert-like setting, reprising the season's most loved hymns and carols, along with a Gaelic version of That Night in Bethlehem. 'Unexpected numbers such as Christmas Pipes and Carol of the Bells (led by the spirited fiddling of Mariread) only enhance an already engaging album. They combine their Celtic voices against lovely orchestral arrangements and sparser settings--spiked with the traditional Irish fare of uilleann pipes, harp, and ancient choral harmony--to deliver an assortment of reverent but lively arrangements that wouldn't be out of place at a church, concert hall, or good Irish celli.'
