This is indeed fine music for one's Christmas mood with the Celtic flavor. There's nothing you can likely sing along with the performers on, but there are haunting melodies and enchanting rhythms here.

Gentle music with some backboneDec 12, 2008
By Lillerenee
This CD is mostly instrumental and beautiful. It doesn't play the usual Christmas carols to which we are subjected in department stores etc. so it can more easily be enjoyed all year long when one wishes to have contemplative, restful background music. Number 4 is one of my favorite pieces for babies because the hammered dulcimer somehow enters their world in a special way. Many of the pieces are lullaby-like. The pieces move through an array of featured instruments; the variety and contrast makes it more interesting. They include very rustic folk music as well as sophisticated urban fare.There are soft,non-intrusive vocals on a couple of the selections. I have listened to this one for twenty years and have not grown tired of it. It makes a lovely gift.

Amazing find!Dec 17, 2011

My husband bought me this CD years ago and it was one of my favorites. Beautiful songs and not the same old same old that you hear every year. Somewhere along the line it disappeared and I was heartbroken. He bought me another Celtic Christmas CD but it just wasn't the same. It had more of the traditional Christmas songs on it and I really have enough versions of all of them.

I have looked and looked for this CD. I couldn't find it because apparently it is out of production judging from the prices I saw at amazon for two new ones available - over $150!!! As much as I like it I wouldn't pay that much for it. Itunes had only two songs available from the album for download so I searched Amazon and found a seller of a used "like new" one for under $5!
I can't wait to receive it!

There is nothing like listening to this CD while baking Christmas goodies and watching the snow come down outside!

On a Christmas Album??Dec 15, 2005
By Mo! Langdon
Brian Dunning & Jeff Johnson's version of Christ Child Lullaby is quite striking and meditative, and just might be worth the purchase price in and of itself.

Sliabh Na mBan, on the other hand, although Liam O'Flynn does a very nice job with it, what's it doing on a Christmas album?? With my lack of Irish, I can't tell what the other Irish-titled songs are, but I'm really having doubts as to whether this is truly a *Christmas* album.
