Celtic Lullaby - Average Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Shamrocks for Celtic Lullaby
Album Description:
A collection of traditional lullabies from Ireland, Scotland, Wales & beyond to coax, cuddle and caress a child to sleep. Ethereal and enduring, each of these cradle songs has a melody that delights and lingers within the listener. The Boston globe called this compilation “the sleeper of the year” because as soothing as these songs are to a child, they will also satisfy and please a parent. Harps, whistles, mandolins and flutes create crystalline textures, and the Gaelic lyrics and translations provided give insight into linguistic rhythms, shades of meaning, and even historical references.

Lullabies & Dances Review: Rating: 5 out of 5 Shamrocks- Beautiful music... incredible voice
I heard two cuts from this album today on the radio, and raced home to look up whose voice was behind these incredible songs. Julianne Baird has a hauntingly beautiful voice, very soothing and relaxing. Don't be intimidated by the CD cover - this is a great classical album for adults as well as children.

The music is superb. Although it would not be used to put the baby to sleep, it is a wonderful choice for one-to-one relaxing time with baby. An excellent addition to the new baby's music collection. I listened to it with my class in school before giving it to my brand new grandson. I now give it as a gift to all newborns.
