 Winter Solstice With Gaelic AccentSep 20, 2000
By Daniel G. Berk
It was probably inevitable, and certainly a good idea, that after having produced the Winter's Solstice series of holiday music CD's, Windham Hill would offer a series that, while similar in mood, is more specifically Celtic in nature. This CD is the first in that series and is most welcome. However, to label it exclusively Christmas music would appear to unfairly pigeonhole it, and circumscribe what should be a more universal appeal. It's just as enjoyable in July as in December.

Relaxing and peacefulDec 01, 1999
I like this Christmas album because it's not full of cheesy Christmas carols like Deck the Halls and Silent Night. It actually doesn't sound very Christmasy at all. It's soft, beautiful, haunting. I put the Luka Bloom song "Ciara" on repeat. I'd rather have this song stuck in my head than any other song I can think of. Very relaxing, peaceful music.

Fogive me Amazon.comAug 24, 2000
By Perry Dror
"Perry knows-what-he-wants-and-likes Dror"
I found this CD in a shop off of Piazza Navona in Rome (hence I beg the forgiveness of Amazon.com) four or five years ago. It was then entitled "A Celtic Season". After hearing one or two cuts in the store, I knew that I had to have this in my collection.I would be hard put to pick a favorite cut. I usually drift off into some deep inner space when I listen to this CD, and hardly notice when the tracks change. No I'm not unconscious. It is just that the playing order is so exquisitely well thought out. If anyone is looking for an introductory CD to Celtic music, this is the one to choose. You will no doubt find yourself reading and rereading the liner notes as you seek out more works of these artists, as soloists or in their collaborations.

Absolutely love "When the Snow Melts" by Cunningham & LunnyOct 17, 1999
By yhatinhd@aol.com
This is not actually a review. It's more of a plea to those who may know more about Phil Cunningham and Manus Lunny. The song "When the Snow Melts" just sends chill up my spine. Can anyone out there tell me where to find more of their music. I've checked everywhere.
