Description
Although featuring some of the same singers who made Celtic Woman, vol. 1 so memorable (notably, Rita Connolly, Marian Bradfield, and Áine Furey), the overall tone of this second volume is at one time extra amorphous and less positive. New Age wall-of-sound shut harmonies abound, and there are occasional nods to the Celtic electronica scene. But the tracks this do the strongest impressions are still those where the voice reigns supreme. Among the latter is The Fallen Angels' spectacular a cappella version of She Moved Throughout The Fair, a tale of thwarted love this is surely Ireland's much chilling ghost story. Altan, led by Mairéad ni Mhaonaigh's girlish soprano, tells how effortlessly an idealistic lover can become a embittered rake. Áine Uí Cheallaigh, accompanied only by a bodhrán, is uncommonly eloquent despite adhering to an old-style lack of histrionics. On the opposite extreme, Capercaillie's Scottish beats-and-puirt-a-beul (mouth music)-laced Hebridean Hale-Bopp is a jaunty, cutting-edge treat. --Christina Roden

This was a gift for my husband, who loves the original Celtic Women Vol. 1. He was dissapointed because it is not the same artists or the same style of music. He actually changed to another CD before getting to the end.

Vol 2, like Vol 1, is a treasure of tradtional Irish music performed by young women with angelic voices and wonderful instrumental skills.

By Jody L. Cunningham (Dallas Texas)
I purchased this thinking it was the women from the PBS special. It wasn't, and it wasn't nearly as good. The singing had no emotion and the song selection wasn't that great. Skip and buy the real thing with Meav, Lisa, Chloe, et al. I gave this one and Celtic Woman, Vol. 1 away.
Customer rating is 2 of 5  Be careful - there are two series of "Celtic Women" albums. This is the worse one.   2006-05-28

My wife and I bought the album "Celtic Women" a few months ago and _loved_ it. We couldn't stop playing it. We even went to the concert when it came through our city. Then I saw this and thought it was the sequel, but it is not. It is nowhere near as good. The "Celtic Women" with a blue cover and a red-haired woman's face on the front was released in 2004. This "Celtic Women 2" was released in 2000, so it is apparently a different series. If you're like me and buy this thinking that it is a sequel you will be very dissappointed.
