Lisa Alma - Lisa Alma [COMPACT DISCS] date 10/29/2013

Niamh Parsons is one of the most powerful Celtic female vocalists performing today, and along with her band, the Loose Connections, she is becoming one of the hottest properties on both traditional and contemporary music circuits. Loosen Up is a beautiful album of touching ballads, eclectic pop songs and genre-stretching instrumentals. The album's style bounces from the Cajun flavoring of InchThe Big Bad Wolf,Inch to the Spanish moods of InchFancy Waistcoat,Inch closing with the a cappella track, InchReconciliation.Inch

The international Irish music phenomenon, Celtic Woman, is renowned for singing inspirational melodies and heartwarming songs that stir fans of all ages and cultures. Songs from the Heart was filmed in HD in the rich Irish country setting of the majestic Powerscourt House & Gardens. Under a dramatic evening summer sky with the backdrop of the historic estate and musical support of a 27 member film orchestra, 20 member Discovery Gospel choir, 12 member Aontas Choir, 10 member Extreme Rhythm Drummers and an 11 piece Bag Pipe ensemble performing rooftop, the radiant Celtic Woman uplifted their adoring audience with Songs from the Heart. Musical Director David Downes has created a completely new program of repertoire that showcases the beauty and ethereal presence of vocalists, Chloë, Lisa, Lynn, and Alex along with the energetic inventiveness of Celtic violinist Máiréad within a setting of cinematic proportions that was transformed for the first-time-ever into a concert stage. Songs from the Heart is a true celebration of Ireland and the pure essence of Celtic Woman.
