Description of Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration (with Christmas Ornament):
One of the more impressive things about A Christmas Celebration is its glowing immediacy. The record's rich vocals and colorful instrumentals create a concert-like setting, reprising the season's most loved hymns, carols, and pop standards, along with a Gaelic version of "That Night in Bethlehem." Unexpected numbers such as "Christmas Pipes" and "Carol of the Bells" (here led by the spirited fiddling of Mariread Nesbitt) only enhance an already engaging disc that finely weaves between the piety of classical music and the playfulness of pop. Chloe Agnew, Orla Fallon, Lisa Kelly, and Meav Ni Mhaolchatha combine their Celtic voices against orchestral arrangements and sparser settings--spiked with the traditional Irish fare of uilleann pipes, harp, and ancient choral harmony--to deliver an assortment of reverent but lively arrangements that wouldn't be out of place at a church, concert hall, or good Irish celli. --Martin Keller
Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration (with Christmas Ornament) Reviews:
Ti's the season to enjoy Glorious Celtic Woman Heavenly Voices 
2008-12-23 - Once these songs are embedded in your consciousness, you will almost frown or say grrr when you hear another artist do them, or attempt to do the songs. What comes to mind? Orla singing "Away in a Manger" has there ever been a more tender rendition? Chloe and Orla with Ray Fean and the Gregorian Chant motif what a powerful song "The Little Drummer Boy" is showing our humility as we should in the presence of our Lord and Savior. It is incredible to see and hear this song so adeptly presented on this DVD. Meave, regal, Goddess of heaven singing Silent Night and the Wexford Carol-is there a more ethereal polished parlor soprano now breathing? Her voice is being played wherever people need a cloud to lean on, hospitals, classrooms,in beautiful homes. I heard "Christmas Pipes" the other day while sitting in the Holdiay Inn Waiting Room which is not to demean it as muzak, but to rejoice because you can immediately see the CW group in your mind presenting this beautiful song...Lisa, Ah, Lisa singing " Green the Whole year Round" Christmas love should be all through the year-no one presents it more fully for our ounderstanding than Lisa Kelly.Stunning "O Holy Night" will swell your soul's chorus within--as well as NOEL and O COME ALL ye Faithful ! I have not had the pleasure of hearing the others,Alex, Lynn and Diedre, but I am told they also have beautiful voices. You have to trust David Downes here-the King of talent refinement! all of this Christmas Magic in one inexpensive purchase woven together by the Angel at the Top of the Tree Mairead Nesbitt! What are you people waiting for?
and Give THESE DVDs and CDs as Gifts...as I have done this year. C S
Pure delight
2008-07-30 - Beautiful; uplifting; pure delight. A very sweet collection, and one I will play every year.
Celtic Woman - A Christmas Celebration
2007-12-28 - After viewing this performance on PBS I had to have this CD.
This is the absolute best choral Christmas Music ever. None of the new type - shouting, trilling or singing in a fashion where one cannot even make out what is being sung. This gets back to performing a song the way it was originally written and enjoyed. I recommend it to everyone.
Celtic Christmas Review
2007-12-28 - This is without a doubt, one of the most talented group of women singers, that I have ever heard or seen. Each is a superb singer on her own, and together it's like listening to the angels singing. I think the arranger/ leader of the orchestra David Downs is to be commended for his arrangements and the bringing together of this group of singers
A Christmas pleasure
2007-12-10 - This Christmas CD is one of the best that I've heard in ages and it's been an absolute pleasre to listen to from start to finish. The DVD is just as fantastic, I hope there will be more to come.
