Title: Vapid and saccharine
Product review: I have to agree with the other reviewers who point out (rightly) that this is not Celtic music, and that the performances are weak and uninspired. The PBS show was mildly entertaining for a few minutes, but it became obvious quickly that these interpretations of traditional music are more "lite commercial pop" than anything else. The derivation from Flatley's shows was obvious. Also I agree that PBS has so diluted its offerings in fine arts with this, Andre Rieu, Andrea Bocelli, Charlotte Church, and other "pseudo-classical" performances that it is deeply disappointing.Instead of this drivel, go for music with real substance, including really traditional Celtic music (without the soft haze of easy listenin') and the enormous treasure of art music (renaissance, baroque, classical, etc.) which reward repeated listening with new discoveries. Other reviewers have made fine suggestions.
