Celtic Woman: A New Journey

9
2007 1 hr 46 min Music

The original buxom quartet of female singers, Lisa, Maev, Orla, and Chloe, have duly been joined by Hayley and are, as usual, backed by a full symphony orchestra and choir, plus enough traditional instruments (the house fiddler, Mairead, is a powerhouse) to keep things legit. The material ranges from folkloric, to a standard from another Celtic nation, to classical lite, to movie hits, to homegrown New Age.

Good concept, poorly executed.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Celtic Woman has been a force and phenomenon in music for some time now, with many changes in cast, (None of those changes detrimental), and with many performances put to tape for enjoyment. But this performance, "New Journey" was and remains in my heart the greatest of them all. Here on their second release, the girls all realized just how good they really are. And they are having FUN! The cast and crew supporting them are also superb, with the drummers laughing, kicking in, and generally having a ball, and an exquisite chorus in support. Their voices meld to produce something far greater than the sum of the parts. Their smiles are contagious, the love of their audience and fans is palpable. I guess the simple sense of wonder and joy, combined with superb direction by Mr. Downes, are the best parts of a concert and performance not to be missed, and suitable for every age. One more thing. I have had the honor of knowing a couple of the CW ladies, and as well Mr. Downes, distantly. The quality of the people involved is outstanding. Friendly, talented, respectful, dedicated to music, art, and fans, they are good for the heart and the soul.

I received this DVD for Christmas and can I just say how excited I was :) I have been obsessed with Celtic Woman ever since first seeing them perform on PBS. They are some of the most talented woman ever created!I especially love to watch Mariead "fly" around the stage and really get into her pieces. If i had to pick favorites out of the girls, I would have to pick Lisa, Orlagh and Mariead because they just seem to have great personalities (not that the others don't)and I can relater my voice to theirs while I sing along. I would definitely recommend this DVD to anyone, especially CW fans; you can't help but sing along and fall in love with them all over again!

A New Journey is definitely a must-have for all Celtic Woman fans out there, and it will surely bring new fans on board like me. The concert opens strong with "The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun" with all the CW ladies, and continues with familiar songs like "Orinoco Flow".For sure, my favorite song on the whole show has to be "Dulaman" performed by Meav Ni Mhaolchatha, and that beat-driven song in Gaelic.So yeah, you should all for sure catch it wherever you can, or even get it on DVD... for sure you won't regret it. If you are already here, it's because you are a fan of CW.The DVD in itself is pretty great, the 5.1 DTS and Surround mix makes it sound 10 times better than the Stereo track, and when you finish watching the concert, you can check the Behind the Scenes small doc that they have in it also...

For a strictly Irish based musical concert, this is very entertaining. There are a few instrumentals along with some classic Irish tunes. All of the ladies who represent the Celtic Woman group are lovely throughout the evening. The backdrop is the famous Slane Castle where some of the most famous concerts have been held. There is just something in seeing the behind the scenes that just shows how much work it is to pull off a live recording concert such as this. From the work of the costumers, to the work of the lighting crew, to the work of the choir, band, and the rest of the people who worked so hard to bring everything together, this is just a nice family entertainment concert that can be watched over and over again. Especially those songs that you just can't listen to only once.
