An Irish Christmas Moya Brennan's contributions to the realm of Celtic music are vast - her work with Clannad was genre-defining and her solo endeavors have done much to make Celtic music more accessible to American audiences. With her first holiday album, she continues along the path she forged with Two Horizons, bathing her rich, delicate vocals in ethereal ambience dotted with traditional instrumentation. Featuring traditional holiday tunes with an Irish spin, Brennan's best renditions on the album are those with a defined sense of mood. Her version of "Gabriel's Message" calls to mind the bittersweet beauty of "Theme from Harry's Game," with her hushed vocals floating amongst billowing ambience and a gorgeous backdrop of strings. "In the Bleak Midwinter" is another gem, contrasting the melancholy of the title with a harp-driven arrangement that is warm and quietly joyful.
