Review
Allegro's Celtic Spirit is a tasteful two-disc set of traditional Celtic melodies, medleys, and songs. It's entirely instrumental, and features either a harp or a fiddle leading the understated arrangements. Highlights of disc one include the medieval-tinged "Lakes of Sligo/Top of Maol" and the quietly plucked melody of "Lamb's Fold Hollow"; disc two begins with the pretty melancholy of a harp-led "Londonberry Air" before moving into the lively medley of "Rory O'More/The Donnybrook Boy/The Humours," as well as the contemplative late-album entry "Eriskay Love Lit." ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music GuideTracks
