CD ReviewsA Wonderful Alternative for the Holidays Steve Vrana | Aurora, NE | 12/27/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "So why am I reviewing a Christmas album the day AFTER Christmas? (Because it was half price the day after Christmas!) The silver anniversary edition features all new recordings and if you're familiar with earlier volumes, this one will not disappoint. Each track has a soothing, haunting quality to it. And since none of these songs are recognizable as Christmas songs, you can enjoy this music all year. There are only four vocals here--tracks 1, 3, 10 and 13--and only "On a Winter's Day" is sung in English. The Gaelic vocals and celtic instrumentation provide a wonderful alternative to more traditional holiday fare. This is very enjoyable and calming music. [Running time: 53:14] RECOMMENDED" Basically relaxing, non-familiar music with a Christmas feel Neal C. Reynolds | Indianapolis, Indiana | 12/04/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "As pointed out in another review, there are only three vocals here, each a lovely female Celtic voice, and only one in English. But it's not the words but the feeling evoked here. The instrumentals include sounds of accordian, guitar, fiddle, harp, flutes, pipes and whistles. Almost half of them are traditional Gaelic or Breton melodies.This is indeed fine music for one's Christmas mood with the Celtic flavor. There's nothing you can likely sing along with the performers on, but there are haunting melodies and enchanting rhythms here." Gentle music with some backbone Lillerenee | 12/12/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "This CD is mostly instrumental and beautiful. It doesn't play the usual Christmas carols to which we are subjected in department stores etc. so it can more easily be enjoyed all year long when one wishes to have contemplative, restful background music. Number 4 is one of my favorite pieces for babies because the hammered dulcimer somehow enters their world in a special way. Many of the pieces are lullaby-like. The pieces move through an array of featured instruments; the variety and contrast makes it more interesting. They include very rustic folk music as well as sophisticated urban fare.There are soft,non-intrusive vocals on a couple of the selections. I have listened to this one for twenty years and have not grown tired of it. It makes a lovely gift."
