Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Fourth in the family of Celtic Twilight recordings, Celtic Planet is an ambitious, charming, and at times, surprising, collection of Celtic-inspired music from around the globe. Spain's Celtic cultured Galician region is represented by the band Fia Na Roca's pipe-centered "Ou Sube a Terra ou Baixa O Ceo" and by flautist Carlos Nunez's "Two Shores", quite effectively combining Ry Cooder's l guitar playing with soaring flute melody and accordion. Indian singer Sheila Chandra's "Lament of McCrimmon" from Roots and Wings is based on her mastery of drone tones, and "White Wings", an elegant emotive piece utilising a string quartet and bass recorder is contributed by Norwegian composer Oystein Sevag. Vocalist Kate Power and vocal ensemble Anuna offer more traditional Celtic balladry and whistler Joanie Madden leads a group including noted accordionist John Whelan in an arrangement of "The Immigrant". Roundly refreshing, Celtic Planet is sure to be enjoyed by those familiar and new to the series. --Paige La Grone

The best of the Celtic Twilight series, truly beautiful
25 Nov 2002
Format:Audio Cassette
I use this deeply touching music as easily to add a peaceful, misty background to my activities as to provide a focus for meditation. It is also one of my favorites for use with my Healing Touch work The selection of songs and mix of artists from different cultural backgrounds is very well done; each piece is uniquely beautiful, evocative of something different, from lingering sunsets over quiet lakes to the mysteries of walking through a heavy, enfolding fog between the hills to the welcome flicker of friendly fires at night. A very worthwhile addition to your music library.

Celtic taken to a brighter level
16 Dec 1999
Format:Audio CD
I was introduced to Celtic quite some time ago. This CD has incredible selections. I loved everyone of them. They are calm, soothing, and very relaxing. (track 13 is my favorite accompanied with bag pipes) This is definitely something a Celtic Music lover NEEDS to own. (don't' forget about the first 3)

Great stress reliever
26 July 1998
Format:Audio CD
The first time I heard this CD I had just completed a day full of stress. The music helped to revive and make me civil again. Try "Lament of McCrimmon" and "The drowning plains" to ease the nerves.
