Great background music for our Scots/Irish Christmas. It's mellow and has a timeless feeling. Traditional instruments playing Scottish Christmas music. A nice change from "Frosty the Snowman." If you like bagpipes and the dulcimer, then you will like this.
And I'm not one of those Christmas year round people---the music is just that good. This is without a doubt, th best Christmas CD I have. I listen to it all throughout the year.
The hammered dulcimer is beautiful, with an almost music box sound. Many others will feel the same way, but you have to appreciate this style of music to truly appreciate the album. Many albums claim to be "Celtic Christmas," but few actually deliver the goods. It is a collection of traditional Scottish carols, wassail tunes, strathspeys and reels. I am thrilled to have this album in my collection. Exceptional muscianship, interesting arrangements, authentic sounds fill the album. If you hate bagpipes, this is not for you.
Listen to some of the clips before purchasing. Just be aware that it is not for everyone.
No morphing into New Age. I highly recommend this album.
This one does. You get just over 60 minutes of music, definitely your money's worth.
Think of Christmas comes to "Lord of the Rings." Nothing synthesized here.
If you love Scottish and Celtic music, you will love this album.
The performances are thoughtful and beautifully crafted by caring, diligent artists, yet possess the joyous spontaneity that is the hallmark of Celtic music. A truly beautiful Holiday CD. Even if you are not an afficionado of Celtic music, this is a CD all could enjoy.
Try it--you'll like it. This is a wonderful CD. I listen to it year round when I need to listen to something soothing.
