Volume 2 of the Celtic Christmas Series is awesome. If you have any or all of the other albums in this series, you have to get this one. Like all the others, the moods of the album range from mellow to exuberant, from wanting to sit & meditate to wanting to get up & dance. Yet this album in itself is as unique as the rest. It has familiar tunes like the ‘Star of County Down’ & new haunting melodies like ‘The Dove’s Return’. It completes the set of wonderous Celtic music found in the series. I highly recommend it.

This 56 minute CD contains beautiful Celtic music. It is not your typical hodge podge of “various artists”. This CD flows nicely from song to song. One especially nice feature of this CD is the 8 page booklet with liner notes. This includes the lyrics (and English translations, if needed). The liner notes also list musicians and other credits. I especially enjoyed Muladach Mi Is Mi Air M’Aineol by Capercaillie. Recommended to anyone who enjoys Celtic music.

Beautiful listening but badly named. The only seasonal piece on the album was James Galway’s arrangement of the Wexford Carol. There are songs about fish, unrequited love, the Great Famine, defeat in battle… heaps of Celtic stuff well worth listening to, but not if you want holiday music. For midwinter celebration you’d do well to give this album a miss and try Celtic Christmas III instead.
