While most people are dreaming of a
white Christmas, Irish supergroup Celtic Woman make an arresting case for
keeping things “Green the Whole Year Round” with their release ‘A Christmas
Celebration Live From Dublin,’ a DVD featuring mesmerizing performances of
some of the most beloved holiday classics of all time. The DVD is in stores
now.
Recorded live during the quintet’s July 18th holiday concert in Dublin,
the set includes soaring renditions of well-known songs such as “Carol of
the Bells,” “White Christmas,” “O Holy Night,” “Let It Snow!” and “Panis
Angelicus” and original songs “Green the Whole Year Round” and “Christmas
Pipes.” In addition to the DVD release, fans will also have the opportunity
to see the full performance through a new PBS TV special, airing during PBS
stations’ December pledge drive.
The ‘A Christmas Celebration Live From Dublin’ DVD follows last year’s
hit holiday album ‘A Christmas Celebration.’ The album, which has shipped
over 500,000 units, has been hailed by critics as “glorious” (Orlando
Sentinel) and “magnificently performed” (Associated Press) and is once
again a favorite holiday CD at retail.
Celtic Woman has been winning over audiences worldwide since their
March 2005 debut. Their popularity in the U.S. is thanks in part to their
first PBS special, which has aired over 3400 times on 316 PBS stations to
date. Their self-titled CD and DVD have been certified platinum and this
year’s ‘A New Journey: Live from Slane Castle, Ireland’ DVD has been
certified triple platinum and ‘A New Journey’ CD is awaiting platinum
certification.
Celtic Woman commanded the #1 spot on the Billboard World Music chart
for over 90 consecutive weeks. The group has played six hugely successful
U.S. concert tours, including multiple sold-out shows at Radio City Music
Hall and are currently on tour in Japan. They return in early 2008 for
another U.S. tour.
