Christmas Celebration
Chloe, Orla, Lisa, Meav and Mairead, the quintet known as Celtic Woman, continue to take the world by storm with their gorgeous four-part vocal harmonies and Mairead's stirring strings. Now, with their first holiday recording, the women capture the spirit and joy of the holiday with a selection of holiday fare that includes perennial favorites ("White Christmas," "Silent Night"), classical pieces (Franck's "Panis Angelicus") and Celtic-oriented tunes ("Wexford Carol," "Don Oiche Ud I bMeithil"). Their sweet singing is set against swells of orchestral strings and traditional Irish instrumentation, with some choral accompaniment. The music is fun and festive with a tender Irish quality that is distinctly Celtic Woman.
