Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The original in the internationally popular Hearts of Space series, Celtic Twilight is a collection of 14 pieces: eight from the label's artist stable of recordings--including a quartet of compositions from HOS stalwart Bill Douglas--and six from other carefully selected artists. An instrumental recording, save for the standout "Ancient Pines" from singer-instrumentalist Loreena McKennitt's third self-released album and the Bill Douglas closer featuring soprano Jane Grimes, Celtic Twilight combines traditional Celtic whistles, acoustic strings, and bagpipes with contemporary keyboards. Gentle, lilting and romantic, these songs are the music of ocean and rolling green hills, of that magical pink sky time of evening when the lines between myth and reality blur in a most pleasing fashion. --Paige La Grone

Sadly disappointing,
By
This review is from: Celtic Twilight (Audio CD)
A long time ago, I purchased Celtic Twilight: Lullabies (third disc in the series) from a quaint shop in the country. Over the years, I've grown to adore every part of it, the disc being perfect to listen to as the wife and I wind down in readiness to sleep. Recently, I thought it would be a good idea to delve further in to the series, so logically I started with the original first album, Celtic Twilight. Sadly, I now regret this purchase because it's nothing like Lullabies. Every track, bar two, on Celtic Twilight are instrumental, most of them rather mediocre in my view; Lullabies is composed of tracks sung hauntingly by various female singers - they're all absolutely gorgeous. So now, rather than think about buying the entire series, I only intend getting one other...Celtic Twilight 7, which I think might have some of the quality of Lullabies. There are certainly better chill out celtic albums about than Celtic Twilight...I do wonder how this album managed to spawn six others!

Good, but Others in Celtic Genre more Worthy,
By shoutgrace "savedbyhisgrace" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Celtic Twilight (Audio CD)
'Celtic Twilight' (title given by William Butler Yeats for an 1893 book of stories of his Irish homeland) is a compliation of selected from the Heart of Space catalog. I'm a long-time listener of Celtic music and I'm not knocking HOS but, other albums in this genre are more worthy. This album is a mixture of electronic synths harmonizing with fiddle, bagpipe and tin whistle. They're beautiful to hear them and are very relaxing. The four music pieces of Bill Douglas are quite nice and combines the elements of Celtic, African, Indian, jazz and classical. The only piece that come any close to Celtic is the Joanie Madden (Cherish the Ladies) piece, "Women of Ireland" and heard on John Boswell's piece "Skye Boat Song" (from the traditional Scottish) and Alasdair Fraser's piece playing the fiddle on "Lassie with the Golden Hair" (traditional Scottish).

Most valuable CD I own.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Celtic Twilight (Audio CD)
Celtic Twilight was my first, but not my last, CD of Celtic music. This CD has the ability to calm me when I'm stressed and energize me when I'm down, and often does both. Containing my favorite pieces of music, it always makes my day better. Highly recommended for those new to this type music and those who are not.

Lovely CD!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Celtic Twilight (Audio CD)
This is a lovely cd well-worth the couple of pounds it cost me to buy it. So many "celtic" cd's are around today, and many of them lack, shall I say...the real flavor of Ireland. However, this cd captures it. I love it!
