Produced by the same team responsible for Riverdance, CELTIC WOMAN is a tribute to the heart and soul of the Celts. Featured are four singers - Chloe, Lisa, Orla and most notably Meav (who coincidentally was an original performer with Riverdance), providing sweetly sublime renditions of Irish folk tunes, modern day pop favorites (Enya, Josh Groban, Clannad) and classical fare. Two of these "Celtic women" provide instrumentation - Orla on harp and Mairead on fiddle; however, most of the cuts also include lush symphonic orchestration in the backdrop. The orchestration makes the pieces feel more grand and epic, and also provides another tie to the "Riverdance" sound. Tracks include renditions of Enya's "May it Be," Morricone's "Nella Fantasia," "Danny Boy" and two bonus live cuts: "The Ashoken Farewell/The Contradition" and "Si Do Mhaimeo I."
