Gaelic Voices

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
A sequel to Celtic Voices, Gaelic Voices is a 14-song collection culled from Green Linnet Records' most engaging and enduring artists of Irish and Scottish descent. This volume, squarely focused on the Gaelic tongue, includes relative old timers like The Bothy Band and the ever-updated Cherish the Ladies, modern Celtic mainstays Capercaillie, and neotraditionalists Altan, as well as innovative newcomers, Kila. Evoking the ancient lure and charm of the Isles, these tunes are a mixed bag of cloth workers' (waulking) songs, frolicsome mouth music, and ballads of both history and romance. Especially lovely is Relativity performing "Siun Ni Dhuibhir," a traditional broken-hearted ditty cloaked in a swirling arrangement of synthesizers, enhanced with clavinet, whistles, guitar, violin, and vocals. Also notable are contributions from Niamh Parsons and Andy M. Stewart and Manus Lunny. Perhaps redundant for serious enthusiasts of the genre, Gaelic Voices is a boon for newbies and casual listeners. --Paige La Grone

    I did not care for this disk and mailed it to someone else.

    1 out of 5 stars Sorry.......2001-11-17

    I just did not take to this one, and mailed it off to someone else.

    5 out of 5 stars Cream of the Crop.......2000-01-21

    This is not some junk album capitalizing on the craze for all things Celtic. This is some of the hottest, most creative music from several of Scotland and Ireland's best bands. Varied, ecclectic, and strong in every count. Many of the Scots and Irish Gaelic words are included, which is an added bonus. If you like Mary Jane Lamond or Ashley MacIsaac, you'd be mad to miss this one.

    5 out of 5 stars Like devouring an box of fine chocolate, without the guilt........1999-10-27

    Whether you are just beginning to explore Celtic music or you are a seasoned listener, this album is a must have. Groups like Altan, Cherish the Ladies, and the Bothy Band have set the standards for contemporary Celtic music. This is a great compilation of all the good stuff in many of our existing cd collections.

    Album Description

    In July of 1991, the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles became the first US gay chorus to tour Central Europe, giving performances in Copenhagen, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, and Budapest. Their performances inspired gay pride, liberty, and community in untold numbers of gay men and women there. These experiences were captured in Diversity, an inviting mixture of both popular and innovative songs for men's chorus which resonate with pride and courage. The title track (an original commission which has since become a signature song for the Chorus), works by Ned Rorem, Paul Monette, and Stephen Sondheim create a glowing journey through the magical landscape of the gay experience.

    5 out of 5 stars Best male choral ensemble on the west coast!.......2000-02-12

    I know this is GMCLA's first recording, but unlike most first attempts, this one is a superior collection of songs. From the incredible piano accompanament of "Canto de Esperanza" to the warm choral sound of "Ave Maria", these guys are professionals all the way. You'll love their rendition of "Family" from the Broadway hit "Dreamgirls". The beautiful "Somewhere" medley combines "Over the Rainbow" from "The Wizard of OZ", "Somewhere" from "West Side Story" and "Somewhere out There" from Disney's "An American Tail". Definitely a CD you can enjoy over and over again!
