Lorraine's Waltz, Dulaman, and Culloden's Harvest have long been favorites of mine, and it's worth it to try this CD for those songs alone. I have come to like the rest of the CD, and songs such as The Tree and Inini.
There are a lot of instrumental pieces, as is typical with these kinds of Irish music CDs, but in this collection I actually really enjoyed the instrumentals along with the vocal pieces.
This is a good collection of beautiful music. If you like music in the Celtic tradition you will enjoy this CD as well.

It calls to the part of you that still believes in magic.

"I think that Einini has to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, my only regret was that it ever had to end. Culloden's Harvest is heartbreakingly beautiful and the whole CD entranced me. I listen to it in the evenings when I get home, and it never fails to soothe me no matter what ills have befallen me through the day. I recommend it not just for Celtic music fans, but for anyone that loves beautiful music. My heartfelt thanks to all the artists."
This album is worth it!

"I recieved this album as a gift, and from day one I have absolulty loved it. Each song brings to mind a different place and a different time. Many of the songs are wonderful to lay down and listen to if I want to relax, and others seem to invigorate me. This is a must have for anyone who enjoys Celtic music or history, or for someone who just loves good music!"
A wistful, sentimental journey that takes your breath away

"The work of artists from Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, Wales, Cape Breton Island, Galicia and America is featured in this primarily gentle and reflective collection featuring both accoustic and electronic instruments, as well as some vocals. Though mostly mellow, these evocative, heartfelt selections still command one's attention, leaving one yearning for more. The contributing musicians are William Coulter, Orion, The Barra MacNeils, 4 yn y Bar, Natalie MacMaster, Milladoiro, the Poozies, Maire Breatnach, Maighread Ni Dhomhmaill, William Jackson, John Whelan/Eileen Ivers, Altan, Deanta, Deiseal, Dominig Bouchaud, Cyrille Colas and Talitha MacKenzie. Especially poignant are Deanta's "Harvest of Culloden", Orion's "Douce Mousitomanie", Natalie MacMaster's "If Ever You Were Mine", and Maire Breatnach's "The Swans at Coole" and Dominig Bouchaud's "Une chanson a la mariee". If you like the music of "Celtic Legacy", you'll also enjoy a similar compilation by Narada entitled "Celtic Odyssey"."
Great introduction to Celtic world that just gets better

"I first purchased this CD as an intro to Celtic music. Now, years later, it continues to be one of my favorite CDs. When I play the CD at parties or gatherings people stop talking and ask me the name of the CD. It is hard to keep it as background music, the performances are so compelling that you feel you must actively listen. Each track offers outstanding performances. A wonderful intro to the various groups and styles out there that continues to deliver enjoyment even after the tracks become familiar friends."
Awsome
