Most of the elements return as well: vocalists Chloe, Meav, Lisa, and Orla; fiery fiddler Mairead; music director David Downes; chorus and orchestra; and the New Age-y Celtic and traditional music. New for this show is New Zealand vocalist Hayley Westenra, a picturesque outdoor location, and an almost entirely new song list. Chloe sings "The Prayer" (made famous by Josh Groban) and "Panis Angelicus"; Lisa covers "Caledonia," "The Blessing," and "The Voice"; Orla sings "Newgrange" and accompanies herself on harp for "Carrickfergus"; Meav sings "Dulaman"; Mairead plays "Granuaile's Dance" and "Shenandoah: The Pacific Slope"; and Hayley sings "Scarborough Fair" by herself and duets with Mairead (Handel's "Lascia Ch'io Pianga") and Meav ("The Last Rose of Summer"). Then of course the group performs together ("The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun," "Over the Rainbow," "Beyond the Sea," "At the Ceili," "Sing Out!", "Spanish Lady," "Mo Ghile Mear"). Encore performances from the original show are Enya's "Orinoco Flow," "Danny Boy," "Somewhere," and "You Raise Me Up." Hayley proves to be an excellent fit among the beautiful voices, and Lisa seems to emerge as the talent most deserving of attention, but overall the show lacks some of the fresh sparkle of the original. The song list isn't quite as strong, and some of the "primp and pose" choreography is just silly. But Celtic Woman is never less than charming, and at its best can be quite stirring. --David Horiuchi Average Rating:
 Rating: - Slane CastleThis was my first exposure to these ladies - I was totally blown away by their clarity. I can't fault any of them at all. Mairead, the fiddler, has such a distinctive and beautiful style of playing I find myself (not literally) throwing rocks at other fiddlers. I don't believe she ever hits a bad note. The orchestra is also first-rate. Excellent video - crank it up! Rating: - amazingLove this music. It is amazing the sound of these women's voices make. It is beautiful. I have shared this DVD with others and they all love it. Rating:  - Celtic Woman - A New Journey: Live at Slane Castle, IrelandThis DVD is very enjoyable. I have watched it several times, alone and with friends. I think the women have very light, angelic voices. Rating: - Simply AstonishingThe is an incredible production with fabulous singers, musicians, setting, etc. It must be viewed to be appreciated. Superb voices, talented violinist, throbbing percussion, great backup chorus/orchestra... cannot praise it enough. Rating: - Fantastic !This DVD has the fire of a great live performance and it's filmed outside under the open sky. These ladies are captivating and charming as they harmonize so beautifully together. The music they select for this DVD is both inspiring and exciting. This is one of those DVD's I dont get tired of watching! Browse for similar items by category:
