Title: It wasn't Celtic Woman, but...
Post by: CWazyTom on March 09, 2017, 07:47AM
It wasn't Celtic Woman, but,,,

...I heard them play A Time for Us on a Classical radio station this morning.

There's been a lot of that happening recently.

I wonder if it has anything to do with, oh, I dunno... Celtic Woman coming to town in a few weeks!!!!!!  :D :D :D :D :D :D

It wasn't Celtic Woman but a couple of days ago, they played Cinema Paradiso on a classical station. The orchestral version, rather than the Hayley version.

I imagined Hayley was singing. Everything sounds better with her singing it.  :D

It wasn't Celtic Woman but...

I heard Danny Boy on the local classical station today (I preferred the Celtic Woman arrangements by a significant margin).

I've also heard various arrangements of Shenandoah on that classical station over the past few weeks.

OMG!

I wish I could stay and chat after my show coming up. I've got to get up at 4:30 the next morning to leave for the airport, so I'm pretty much headed straight from my seat to my hotel after the show (that and the Stage and Greet I attempted last time was more or less a high-stress disaster). It's for the best. I literally have no chance of carrying on a conversation for more than a couple of minutes anyways (that's based on 30+ years of experience). So a 30 second M+G is just about perfect for me talking-wise (although I sure would like to hug them for a bit longer).

They played Josh Groban's version of You Raise Me Up today.

This was probably one of my top 5 favourite songs before I knew about Celtic Woman. It has been a LONG time since I heard Josh Groban's version and I've gotta say, as good as it is ...

... it's not Celtic Woman.

I think the SfTH version of YRMU is my favourite:

The classical station here played Carrickfergus ... but I'm not sure that song works while being belted out by a baritone with excessive vibrato. It definitely was not as satisfying as the Celtic Woman version (or the Orla / Lisa Kelly solo versions).

She is certainly one of the  most accessible world class sopranos I know of.  Most others near her calliber don't seem to find time to respond to fans, but Margaret does. She is very sweet.   :-*
