Music : Once in a Red Moon
1 2
Rating: 
- A great introduction to contemporary celtic music
"Once in a red moon" is a symphony for instruments and voice, echoing hebraic and medieval, celtic and spanish musicalities. The elegiac theme in "Awakening" is resumed and varied all along the album, finally ending with dramatic tones of requiem in "Elegie". Two other compositions stand out from the instrumental part: the energetic "Invitation", a record of joyous sonority and beating effect, and "Fairytale", a musical ballad with trobadoric rhythm. The vocal part is dominated by "You raise me up", where Irish voices of Belfast singer Brian Kennedy and Anúna choir are called to illuminate the spirituality of the lyric, and "Gates of dawn", where the powerful, Gaelic melodiosity of Scottish singer Karen Matheson is transposed in a solo performance in English language. Definitely a gem. The included booklet about album making is a masterpiece in its genre.
Rating: - you raise me up
This must be the most beautiful song I have ever heard, we Scots dont show our emotions much ,but this music reaches deep inside ones being....
Rating: - Soothing and Beautiful, an Inspirational Album
What can i say, a beautiful album. The perfect balance of expertly played instruments (piano, violin etc..)and that celtic theme throughout, makes me tingle everytime i listen to it. My sister plays my favourite song (Promise, track 9) on the piano, and it sounds wonderful, but nothing is more magical than listening to the enchanting Secret Garden themselves. I am waiting for their big break-through, but in my eyes they have acheived so much more than people younger and better looking that themselves. They are so incredibly talented, it makes you have faith in the music industry again, that it is not all stereotyped sticks from the pop factory, but truly spectacular musicians and singers.
Everyone should buy this!
Rating: - This deserves prime place in any music collection!
Every time a new Secret Garden album comes along, it sounds just that bit more special than the last, and I expect the bubble to break and everyone will be talking about them. However, to date they still seem to be low key and little heard of. Maybe this wonderful album will be the one to turn that around!
The mix of Norwegian classical orchestration with the most beautiful and evocative in Celtic music, makes for a sublimely uplifting and relaxing experience. This is not just chill out music, but music to inspire.
The collaborators, particularly Brian Kennedy and Karen Matheson add a wonderful extra element which lets the music really breathe, and means the listener will never get bored with the CD - you'll be able to listen to this over and over and over again, making this the best value CD you will buy this year.
Rating: - The most relaxing music ever!!
The combination of classical and celtic melodies is perfect. There are no words which could adequately describe how beautiful and relaxing the music on this album is. Forget all those "chill out" compliation albums. Buy this and you will not be disappointed. I like this CD so much that I keep buying copies for other people, and I've just ordered 2 more!!!
