Movie Reviews of Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration
Movie Review: A Wonderful Christmas Gift...
Summary: 5 Stars
2007's Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration" features the famous Irish group in their five-woman configuration, performing in Dublin backed by the Irish Film Orchestra and the Philharmonic Choir. The result is a beautifully arranged mixture of traditional Christmas songs in a visually lush presentation.
Among the selections: Carol of the Bells, Little Drummer Boy, In The Bleak Mid-Winter, and Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. Some songs are presented ensemble, others feature solos by one or another of the Celtic Women. David Downes did many of the arrangements and alternately accompanies on piano or directs the orchestra.
"A Christmas Celebration" is very highly recommended to fans of Celtic Woman and those looking for a classic Christmas presentation on DVD. This presentation has been previously broadcast on PBS in 2007 and 2008.
Movie Review: Superbb
Summary: 5 Stars
Other reviewers have gone more in depth on their reviews about the songs played and the singing and have done a better overview than I can do.
What I can say about this dvd is that it has become a classic in our home after two years. We LOVE this dvd. The music is excellent. There are a wide variety of songs from the opening song to the end. There are traditional songs, hymns, and even just fun Christmassy songs.
My three children have watched this several times over and as always we remain amazed that they can sing so beautifully. The violin player even dances while she plays!
It is obvious they were enjoying themselves up on the stage and we have enjoyed watching them each year at Christmas time.
Well worth every penny.
enjoy.
Movie Review: Celtic Woman Christmas DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD by CW is a must for any CW fan. And, if you've never purchased any CW DVD's, it's a lovely place to start. This DVD really showcases, perhaps even better than either of their other DVD's, each woman's vocal gifts.
Downes has outdone himself with the selections and his arrangements accent the harmony among the women. For soloists, their blend of voices is superb.
I totally love the duet between Meav and Chloe as one takes the high soprano and then the other. Having Orla on the harp, David on piano and Mairead on violin makes this selection haunting. Lisa is as warm and engaging as ever, especially in "Green the Whole Year Round".
A Christmas Celebration can be celebrated... the whole year round. Enjoy!
Movie Review: Christmas at its best
Summary: 5 Stars
Celtic Woman out do themselves! This is Christmas music at its best. Each song is more beautiful than the last. this dvd and the cd that is also available are a must have. I have had this dvd for a couple of weeks noe and I have been watching it daily. These ladies and their beautiful voices will lift your spirits. They seem to sing from the soul. They have fun and it is very evident that they enjoy what they are doing. My sister and I own everything that the Celtic Woman as a group have put out and all of the available cd's (and dvd's in some cases) that each of these ladies have on the market. Excellant does not really describe the quality of this dvd. We can not wait until their next project is available.Movie Review: Christmas classics music/video the whole family can enjoy.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first Christmas DVD that I have ever bought. I love Christmas classics and this is by far one of my favorite. Wile searching youtube for classics and remixes I stumbled upon many clips of this DVD. I had no problem spending my money on this wonderful masterpiece. The music is great, the video is clear and all the ladies voices are wonderful makes for some easy listening.
Some may say the video it's self is not a cozy representation of Christmas or winter and that may be so but who is to say that one just wants to listen to the music and enjoy the sweet sounds of the Classics.
If any DVD for Christmas I would highly recommend this one a must buy.
