Description

Emerging as if from some distant past, the heartbeat-like drum of percussionist-extraordinaire David Jones announces right from the outset that this Atmospheres release is going to be no ordinary Carisma album. By turns enraptured and lyrical, Celtic Dreams is a glorious journey through the heartland of the greatest Celtic tunes. With Jones as guest artist, Carisma’s own uniquely beautiful combination of flute, harp and cello takes on new dimensions, awakening all the magic and mystery of Celtic music in which traditional folk melodies come together with hauntingly ethereal contemporary Celtic sounds to transport the listener to a place of healing and calm. Classics like The Last Rose of Summer and My Lagan Love have never sounded more moving.
