 Love it! November 7, 2008

Celtic Woman fans and music lovers alike will enjoy this release! If you are new to CW, I would recommend this CD. It is what it says it is: the essential collection. Compiled in this CD are many of the most loved songs that the group has released over the span of the past few years. For those who are not familiar with them, it is a good way to have a look at what they are all about.
In addition, there are two NEW songs that CW fans will go nuts for: "The Call" (lyrics by Brendan Graham) and "Pie Jesu," which is a duet between Chloe and Lynn. It is lovely to hear Lynn on these two songs, as she has a fantastic voice and is such a perfect addition to the group! "The Call" is an absolutely beautiful song. It's very powerful, very uplifting and has an almost haunting quality to it. In my opinion, it may end up being one of their best songs yet, and certainly one to look forward to hearing on the upcoming tour!
Also, for those of you who love CW's Christmas DVD, you'll notice that "Green The Whole Year Round" is on this CD! It has never before been put on one of their CD's (it wasn't on the Christmas CD, just the DVD), so that's very exciting! It's a lovely song, one of Lisa's best, so I was elated to see it on this album!
To me, this is the perfect "essential collection" or "greatest hits album," if you will. Most of the favorites are on it, and two new (AMAZING) songs are included.
The only negative I see is that I feel it is missing a few of their most amazing songs, most notably "Sing Out!" which is a favorite of mine. At the end of the day, however, it is difficult in deciding which songs to put on an album like this, especially because they have had so many lovely songs.
To sum up, Celtic Woman fans will love this release and will more than likely want to have it ASAP, even those of you who are more anxious for something completely new. Folks who may be curious about the group and interested in hearing their music should definitely get this as well.

I just recently bought the cd Celtic Woman Essential Collection
I love it. The songs are so great to listen to. You can listen to this cd and you never get tired of it. It is fantastic and worth listening to.
I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of Irish music and popular music.
Could not wait until March 17 to get the complete colletion after previewing a few songs December 27, 2008

I have "Pie Jesu" by The Priests and they are wonderful and I have heard it done by Sara Brightman and she is wonderful. I have "You Lift Me Up" by Josh Grogan and it is wonderful. But both of these songs and several others on this recording are songs that I have on other CDs by other performers. The Celtic Woman(women)are right up there with the best. The feelings they send through you are unsurpassed. What a good way to spend $10.00 bucks.

I caught their show in KERA the other night and not only was the music beautiful and well executed but the show was spectacular visually. The harmonies between all five of the Celtic women were precise and melodic in such a moving way. I would recommend his album to anyone who loves modern celtic music and lovely soprano vocals for a relaxing musical experience.

I bought this CD for myself after seeing this group perform on a telelvision special. I just loved that
music and felt I wanted to own one of their CD's.
