"One of the more impressive things about A Christmas Celebration
is its glowing immediacy. The record's rich vocals and colorful
instrumentals create a concert-like setting, reprising the season's
most loved hymns, carols, and pop standards, along with a Gaelic
version of "That Night in Bethlehem." Unexpected numbers such
as "Christmas Pipes" and "Carol of the Bells" (here led by the
spirited fiddling of Mariread Nesbitt) only enhance an already
engaging disc that finely weaves between the piety of classical
music and the playfulness of pop. Chloe Agnew, Orla Fallon,
Lisa Kelly, and Meav Ni Mhaolchatha combine their Celtic voices
against orchestral arrangements and sparser settings--spiked
with the traditional Irish fare of uilleann pipes, harp, and ancient
choral harmony--to deliver an assortment of reverent but lively
arrangements that wouldn't be out of place at a church, concert
hall, or good Irish celli."
