Review

Madacy's 50 Cool Celtic Songs collection is about as "middle of the road" a sampling of contemporary Celtic music as one could find. The always dependable 101 Strings Orchestra provide 18 lovely diversions, the Irish Cell Orchestra delivers 17, while a "various artists" third disc blends solo harp, the occasional bagpipe, and the ethereal vocals of Enya-worshiper Jean-Claude Madonne. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
