A CELTIC TALE The
Legend of Deirdre is an outstanding contemporary Celtic inspired symphony.
Based on the original Gaelic story adapted by John Stuart Dick, the music is
composed and performed by Mychael Danna and Jeff Dana and ensemble players.
The name Deirdre means "Woman of Sorrow" and refers to a traditional
noble woman caught between war and civil strife. The CD includes the complete
story in an attractive booklet.
This is "serious" music, but it also provides "easy
listening" and a very plesant experience for people who like the Celtic
sound and romantic imagery. CELTIC TALE is a cohesive creation. The synthesized
sound of "The Druid" is appropriately "spooky" and mysterious.
The beautiful "Lament" equisitely sung by Krysia Kocjan pushed my
rating right over the top.
