from the opening number: "i am the sky and the dawn and the sun," these ladies thoroughly enchant and delight. the high notes ring clearly as bells without a hint of strain or force. sweet harmonies are organic and sublime. rich, full orchestrations are embellished with a six piece band featuring celtic drums and irish pipes. the 12 cameras provide shots of the illuminated Slane castle standing tall, as well as the close ups of the lovely young singers and the sprite-like fiddler as she dances and flies across the stage. this magical performance touches the heart, lifts the spirit and blesses the hearer. For all-too-brief a time, one is transported to the cool irish evening on the dewy lawn of slane castle, when one could believe they were listening to actual Heavenly angels singing. thank you, celtic women!Read full review

I have purchased two of these brand new, sealed Celtic Woman at Slane Castle DVDs through eBay, from two different Sellers, and both were flawed and failed midway through the performance. Apparently a manufacturing defect, since both DVDs failed at exactly the same place.

This is a music video which is masterfully done. This is a musical concert featuring solos, duets, trios, quartets, and more. The instrumental portions of this music will make your hair stand on end from the thrill of such precision accuracy of timing and notes. The video quality is excellent. But the sound, my goodness, the sound is full-spectrum high fidelity and sonically puts you on stage in the middle of the concert! The people in the audience could not possibly have had this good of a seat!!! If you don't use your surround sound system with a subwoofer, you're not doing this video justice! My system is not audiophile grade equipment, but this video makes it sound like it's that quality! The harmony in the female voices is awesome! This production is well worth the ticket-price of the DVD purchase. This video was selling on PBS for a pledge of over $125.00, and I just could not see myself spending that kind of money, even though the production looked outstanding. This is one of my favorite videos of all time. The arrangement of "Over The Rainbow" is far better than any other version I have heard thus far. I could listen to it over and over again. The harmonies are spot-on and excellently executed. I'm sure there are many musical descriptive terms which I don't know which could be used to describe all that one encounters in this concert. Suffice it to say that this video and stage production are good enough to enrapture everyone from the novice to the jaded critic. After seeing it, the very first thought you will have is of someone with whom you want to immediately share this wonderful gift of music. Enjoy! - Craig -Read full review
This is the best DVD from this group of five women and one frisky blonde fiddle player that you will ever find. Celtic Woman is a group that I first saw on my local PBS channel and I had to find one of their CDs and after listening to that I wanted more. That search lead me to this DVD. It is the best Live performance that I have seen. The DVD also has additional footage that shows how the Castle was transformed into the beautiful background for the concert. You will want to settle back with a glass of your favorite wine and may be some cheese and fruit, prop up your feet and be rewarded with one of the best concerts of your life. You also may want to do as I did and make yourself a copy of the origional and watch the copy and safe guard the origional. This is one that you will watch over and over again. I have recommended it to a friend that host a "Pink Day" once a month with some of her lady friends. Chill a bottle or two of your favorite wines and invite the group over to watch the DVD. Nobody will leave disappointed. Buy your copy now! If you could give anything on eBay more than five stars this DVD would get eight on my scale!Read full review
Flipping thru the channels, I happened upon PBS and heard the most incredible voices and was immediately spellbound...I'm a hard-rocking metal-head who digs guitar-oriented music from the 70's thru today...yet when I heard these lovely young ladies sing, I felt as if I had been given a gift from heaven. David Downes, the pianist and Conductor/Arranger, really knows how to pluck the heartstrings, and his arrangements of old and new songs (give 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' a listen!...you'll gasp with delight!) are a breath of clean Ireland air...Each of the young ladies are astonishingly gifted vocalists (besides being absolutely beautiful...I hadda point that out....I'm a guy...) whose voices soar above the clouds and catch Angel Tears before falling back to Earth...and this is NO exaggeration. The song 'Orinoco Flow' was, I believe, originally covered by Irish singer Enya, but Downes and the Ladies gave it a whole new feel...the power and depth left me wanting more...I was so impressed that I bought all three available CD's and DVD's (they also have a Christmas Season offering) and if they ever come to Houston again, I will spend WHATEVER it takes to assure that me n' daWyfe get the best possible seats!! (I have a rambunctious 16 yr old Grandson fer sale, if anybody wants to housetrain him!) Seriously, if you haven't given these ladies a listen, you will do yourself a great service by buying this CD...it will become your INSTANT favourite!Read full review
