Disc 2 highlights the award-winning Galway group Dordan, in a collection of jigs, reels, and carols, many sung in Gaelic, such as 'Silent Night' and 'Christmas Eve.' --Martin Keller
A Celtic Christmas: Classic Tales from the Emerald Isle
Light a cozy fire, pour yourself a dram or a pint, and curl up with these charming tales of Christmas from Ireland's past. Here's a personal invitation to share an evening with a wealth of lively characters weaving fantastic, humorous, or sentimental, tales about love, drink, ghosts, and villainy. Rich with superstition and tradition, these aren't ordinary Christmas stories.
A Celtic Christmas: Peace on Earth
Number five in Windham Hill's Celtic Christmas series, this may be the best of the lot with evocative compositions and arrangements that don't slip into seasonal sentimentality, better known as schmaltz.

And it's all on A Celtic Christmas: Peace on Earth. --John Diliberto
