Description of A New Journey: Live at Slane Castle:
Celtic Woman, the PBS sensation, returns for 2007 in A New Journey: Live at Slane Castle, Ireland. Most of the elements return as well: vocalists Chloe, Meav, Lisa, and Orla; fiery fiddler Mairead; music director David Downes; chorus and orchestra; and the New Age-y Celtic and traditional music. New for this show is New Zealand vocalist Hayley Westenra, a picturesque outdoor location, and an almost entirely new song list. Chloe sings "The Prayer" (made famous by Josh Groban) and "Panis Angelicus"; Lisa covers "Caledonia," "The Blessing," and "The Voice"; Orla sings "Newgrange" and accompanies herself on harp for "Carrickfergus"; Meav sings "Dulaman"; Mairead plays "Granuaile's Dance" and "Shenandoah: The Pacific Slope"; and Hayley sings "Scarborough Fair" by herself and duets with Mairead (Handel's "Lascia Ch'io Pianga") and Meav ("The Last Rose of Summer"). Then of course the group performs together ("The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun," "Over the Rainbow," "Beyond the Sea," "At the Ceili," "Sing Out!", "Spanish Lady," "Mo Ghile Mear"). Encore performances from the original show are Enya's "Orinoco Flow," "Danny Boy," "Somewhere," and "You Raise Me Up." Hayley proves to be an excellent fit among the beautiful voices, and Lisa seems to emerge as the talent most deserving of attention, but overall the show lacks some of the fresh sparkle of the original. The song list isn't quite as strong, and some of the "primp and pose" choreography is just silly. But Celtic Woman is never less than charming, and at its best can be quite stirring. --David Horiuchi
A New Journey: Live at Slane Castle Reviews:
Music that lifts the soul 
2009-12-13 - This is a fabulous DVD. I am planning to buy the CD of this same title to carry with me. Wish I had discovered Celtic Woman a few years ago, but I'm enjoying them fully now!!
My baby loves it
2009-12-04 - Since he was 14 months old, my baby is absolutely entranced whenever he watches this Celtic Woman concert, although he is still not interested in dvds for small kids (like Pocoyo, In the Night Garden, etc).
His favorites are Chloe and Hayley: when they are on screen, he lays his head on my lap and can't stop smiling. We watch the concert quite often because he likes it so much, and I don't get tired of it either.
Absolutely Astounding!!!
2009-11-17 - I have in my possession the Celtic Woman audio CD for awhile, but only recently purchased the DVD. I remember the emotion that came over me listening to the music two years ago while watching the tele, and me literally taken over by their music. The girls sing with all their heart and they are very talented. Songs that particularly struck a chord with me are 'New Grange', 'Granuailes Dance', 'Dulamann', 'Carrickfergus' and 'The Voice'.
I have only a sliver of Ulster-Scot ancestry in me but this album was all that it took to bring it out in a mighty roar or just the soul of someone who knows good music when he hears it.
If you cherish Irish culture as I do and appreciate songs of passion, feet that move to a tune (Mairead the Fiddler could easily be African American with her ability to dance, uninhibited), and the sound of a symphony in perfect rhythm then Celtic Woman is A MUST!

"Orinoco Flow" on PBS, but not DVD. 
2009-11-15 - The PBS special, that I originally saw this concert on, had "Orinoco Flow" as the 4th track, but it's not here. More than that, the disc pauses in the place where the chapter should be. Unlike the other reviewer, when I ordered the DVD the track list had been updated and did not include "Orinoco Flow"; however, I didn't notice. I just assumed this DVD had the full concert. Needless to say I was very disappointed.
This is the only reason I'm giving 4 stars. Otherwise it's a solid 5.
One odd thing I noticed is the DVD itself and its sleeve shows a copyright year of 2009! The concert was performed in 2006 with the DVD released in 2007. I don't know if this means it's simply been reissued (as with alot of DVDs) or if there's an older disc out there with the track on it.
UPDATE: I said the track list had been updated and "Orinoco Flow" was not included but as it turns out there are two listings for this DVD. One has the correct info and the other does not.
Celtic Women: A New Journey
2009-11-04 - Extraordinary. The Celtic Women at their best. This will be an excellent reminder for those of you who have seen their show in Toronto few years ago. The decor is almost the same despite the fact that, in Slane Castle, the show takes place outside in what seems to be a beautiful night. I particularly enjoyed Mairead, the fiddle female Elf for whom gravity is just a word or so it seems. She is so light, so fairy like.
Off course, the rest of the troop, singers and musicians, is great too. Without them, the show wouldn't be what it is, Excellent.
One can never go wrong when buying their music in whichever form. But, seeing them, is such a delight.
