The Maestro introduced the orchestra, he did not control the violin. Thanks for the reaction!

[@randallshuck2976]

They were originally all solo artists who were asked to come together to do a single show to showcase Irish talent for a broadcast. They have been performing with varied talent for the past 19 years (I think) and toured all around the world. The girls shown have largely left the group except the second girl (Blond, Chloe) who was 16 (I think) during this performance. The show is staged at the side of an Irish Manor house(Castle) and as the show started it had just stopped raining. They are excellent in live performance. They tour around the world each year and are very partial to the US. The girl who thanked the audience is Lisa Kelly. She has retired from the group and lives in the US on the east coast with her husband and kids. She runs a music and voice school.

[@harolddorsey9179]

We watched this live on TV. The whole concert was awesome. You guys must treat yourselves to find it and watch. The bagpipers on amazing grace was perfection

[@Kate-v9d]

@harolddorsey9179 Thanks for that Harold, I think the pipes are the Irish uilleann pipes (pronounced ill-N pipes) which are different to the Scottish bagpipes, but I may be wrong. Happy Christmas Harold, love from Ireland ❤❤🧑‍🎄🧑‍🎄

I saw this amazing group back in March of 2010. I discovered them thanks to suggested videos here on KZbin and was blown away. They were even better in concert!

[@dougdanielson9145]

The 4 ladies were all separately famous before they joined Celtic Woman, Alex who started the song was famous for acting on the London stage, Chloe who was next had recorded a couple of albums, then Lisa who was a solo artist with Riverdance and the brunette Lynn was with Anuna and riverdance, so yes all had careers before joining Celtic Woman

[@HannahJack123]

Yeah the Celtic Woman Group are bad-to-bone when it comes to singing and music, they know their stuff and are so perfect it takes you back after awhile after listening to them and you realize their human beings still but it's like WOW! Shazam!

[@frankcook5567]

These women are a group from Ireland that travel and do concerts. This is an outdoor concert that they performed.

[@stevemiller6923]

I love it when he says "This is my favorite Celtic Woman" and the shot looks like Andrea's twin sister.

[@TheToscanaMan]

Yes their name is "Celtic Woman". Their shows are always this amazing. I believe that the guy at the keyboard is David Downes who is the musical director/producer.

[@christopheryochum3602]

Do more. I can listen to anything they've done. There are various solos and different featured singers, depending on how old the videos are. Everything they do is beautiful.

[@samraffertymusic]

This is absolutely beautiful! They sound so angelic!

[@jcburger733]

Thanks for the latest episode of Musicians React!! What an incredible performance!! Great voices and harmonizations. Loved it. Thanks for sharing.

[@AndreaSilvestro]

ty for watching!

[@TheFioda]

2020. Pandemy. Lockdown. My youngest daughter was bored and deeply sad, of not playing with her friends; of not going to school; of all that crap. Poor baby was 5 years old. So, to cheer her up, I showed her this amazingly beautiful clip by Celtic Woman. She watched it in complete silence, not understanding a single word ( we are from Brazil ). But her eyes were shining...for the first time in a long time. In the end, she simply said "There are real fairy princesses...! ". Always that I listen to this song, she finds me, put her head on my lap, and joins me in this little event...What comes to her mind? No idea. But I hope that is bright memory form a dark time.

[@deloreslipe6879]

I have always loved these ladies music.

[@demarcuswitten9723]

It was broadcasted on a PBS special a few years ago

[@aaronbarlow4376]

The tall black haired Irish lady caught my eye too lol, absolutely stunning, like some kind of Miss Universe contestant.

[@1tommymulligan]

Oh America is another beautiful rendition from Celtic Women written after as a show of sympathy after 9/11 and a truly beautiful piece. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH2xn2WPm9GqhNU

[@jamescurfman3284]

I hope you two will check out this entire concert. It was performed outside of Johnstown Castle at Wexford, Ireland. The performers basically used the castle as the backdrop but also as their changing rooms (the ladies had several dress changes during the concert). The concert was held on the front lawn. I think it was a two-hour concert but this was a long time ago so I don't remember (my memory is really crap, sorry). I just remember watching it on PBS during a fund-raiser. ALL of the ladies and gentlemen KILLED IT DEAD in this concert. These particular members have moved on by now so today's Celtic Woman would be a completely different experience.

[@dougdanielson9145]

This was not at Johnstown Castle

[@jamescurfman3284]

@@dougdanielson9145 Okay. Where was it? Google fucked up again. Slaine Castle (or however it is spelled)?

[@AlanKSimulations]

@@jamescurfman3284 its actually Powerscourt House and Gardens, in Enniskerry, Co Wicklow. However they have done big productions like this at Johnstown Castle and Slane Castle too. Alot of there early stuff in terms of KZbin are from this concert as it was there 1st live televised major production.

[@jamescurfman3284]

@@AlanKSimulations Ah. Okay, thank you. I appreciate it. :)

[@AlanKSimulations]

@@jamescurfman3284 no problem, if your watching more of there videos, its easy to tell there 3 outdoor performances by the stage Powerscourt - large house like building with the stage coming straight out from the centre of the building (as in this vid). Slane - stage comes down from the corner of the castle so the castle in the background is at a 45° angle and water beside the stage. Johnstown Castle - small circular stage with celtic cross style walkways off place in the middle of a small intimate audience in comparison to Powerscourt and Slane.

[@mrtonyo1965]

These Women are always outstanding. Elton John performed at Royal Albert Hall in 2002, and he had all the students to work with for this charity concert. Check it out, and it is world class. 👍👍

[@andrewmccormack4295]

Please check the musical "Celtic Woman - A New Journey" it's performed in front of an Irish castle.

[@chasevanklompenberg7455]

Miread (can’t remember if that’s how it’s spelled) is the violist and she doesn’t go by the conductor. She is a member of Celtic Women and doesn’t go by the conductor

[@aaronbarlow4376]

Most couples descibe their climaxes as like fireworks, you guys hear lawnmowers lol.

[@Chris_Sokol]

David Downes, the conductor/piano player, is the creator of the group and does all of the arrangements as well.

[@Nazdreg1]

A conductor doesn't make sure, Musicians keep tempo. Musicians can very well do it themselves. He is there as a reminder and also to finetune during performance. If you have a good relationship to a conductor, you immediately know how you need to play the next part and you can go all in. It is a team effort an he is the anchor.

[@richardtaylor6187]

From the same 2009 Live Concert in Ireland: Amazing Grace & Danny Boy!!! Must see!!! You won't be disappointed.

[@35elmview]

Celtic (pro. Keltic) woman’ all the girls are from Ireland. Try listening more and talking less. Then you really will appreciate them. Albeit the individuals in the group have changed over the years..

[@speed2437]

I agree with you, they really need to stop pausing this

[@fredburnside8404]

If you listen closely, the orchestra has started playing. The conductor’s leading the orchestra not the violin.

[@Jimthefurryworm]

I discovered them through listening to Chloe Agnew ( second singer ) in this performance... Walking on Air chloe was only 14 years old at the time Walking on Air came out.

[@imuawarriors]

you should definitely watch Celtic Woman sing this song with NY public school choir PS22... The singers from Celtic Woman are fans of the school choir....

[@69sidewinder]

Great, aren't they? I got interested in them years (decades?) ago...I believe they were on PBS 10 or 15 years ago. Check out the one where they are at Slane Castle in Ireland.

[@mackie012003]

Watch Celtic Woman Behind the Scenes, Song of the Heart.

[@tomjohnston1220]

You raise me up is not an Irish song but it was a hit for an Irish boy band. I think it was written by an American guy who had a novelty hit in the 60s that went I like bread and butter, I like toast and jam. He sang it in a really high funny voice.

[@tomjohnston1220]

I looked it up...The band was The Newbeats and the song is called Bread and Butter, hard to believe he would write a cheesy song like this.

[@irishrover7241]

Celtic Women changes out the performers with each tour. A couple may stay over from one group to another. Like Chloe was there for several of the tours. However, it is mainly to showcase the talent of the Irish Women performers, and a wonderful way to do it.

[@samic1051]

[@halcundiff6886]

Slane Castle, Ireland is where the concert was.

The song was composed by norwegian composer Rolf Løvland dedicated to his mother

Hi I am Canadian my mother side is Irish Scandinavian and my father's side is English this is live from a castle in Ireland, it's called Slane Castle in Ireland

Celtic Woman Group are nowaday really rad, such cool cats! Yah know what I mean? And just when you think their done with their superiority, just over the top performance, they go again!

[@owenirc5139]

The 1990s in Ireland was all about Riverdance. Global tours of Irish dancing. Fell apart over the lead dancer wanting royalties for choreographed dance. So that largely died. The music director of that (the guy conducting in this video) show grabbed the blonde violinist and a few of the ladies from their chorus. Went and chased down some money people (including U2's agent) and put together 1 show for PBS. PBS went nuts over it and re-aired it a few times. Presto, money appeared. Lots of it. They've been going since 2005. To avoid the Riverdance disaster, they don't let anyone get too big. The ladies are swapped out every several years. Huge auditions for it, as you can imagine.

I watched this live on tv, aged 15, it was electric. Your brilliant reaction does it justice.

[@roybarbara4756]

There is a documentary as to how this was produced. You will have to search for it, however.

[@halcundiff6886]

It all started with River Dance.

[@TheJH1015]

Conductors have to manage the ENTIRE orchestra, and make on the fly adjustments to volume, give cues to musicians that have tricky or important entries to make sure they're on time etc. You CAN play on 'auto pilot' but you won't be able to wring out every ounce of musicality as one without conductor.

[@zachzitzow8306]

You talk too much, trying to enjoy a beautiful song but you keep pausing and talking spit

[@slowpoke6743]

Im commenting before watching just to say for the love of god will somebody watch them sing this without stopping it a dozen times to chime in. Nobody is gonna sound better than them anyway. Plus..the people feinding for the feeling the got the first time they saw it aint gonna get it unless you are immersed in the experience too. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I feel like im taking crazy pills!

[@spurgeon3579]

Quit stopping the video to chat. That's very annoying.

[@cathyhilton5298]

They close their concerts with this song they are Irish and it's one of the castles there in Ireland their performing at. Not their first castle they've been at in live into dvd concert.

[@owenirc5139]

Conductors are required, and were invented (just before Mozart's years), because they can hear all the instruments from where they are. Each individual performer generally only hears themselves, or at most a few around them. So there they are, a group of 3 on their own tempo and prompts completely oblivious to the other side of the orchestra because they can't hear them. That's why the conductor was invented. And probably more important nowadays, he's the front man for soliciting donations from the local public. Everybody in the orchestra has to eat. They all have to get paid. Gotta sell tickets and generally only to a local area. It's never enough. Donations fill the gap. The saying is the hardest thing about a conductor's job is getting it. Once you have it you earn the pay every day. Chasing donations, doing rehearsals, and then some flamboyant arm waves during performance.

[@ThomasConnaughton-d6j]

It was filmed at a castle in Ireland

[@williamjohnsonjr.1272]

the reason why its Celtic Woman not Celtic Women back in 2004 they had trouble with naming the group it supposed to be a only 1 time taped performance in ireland until the PBS in USA got that tape everybody watched it, love them, venues called them to proform

a conductor is more needed for a large group.... the group needs someone in charge of the pulse, emotion and life of the piece. in regards to the solo violin, I agree the conducting was a bit superfluous...

[@dianesmith3608]

I love Celtic Woman, and enjoyed your analysis of "them". But your questioning the need for a director/maestro is totally ridiculous. Realize that this performance involves the feature singers, a solo violinist, two separate choral groups and an orchestra (a lot of moving parts). If you think that they can all stay coordinated without any direction, then you're delusional. Also realize that this performance of "You Raise Me Up" is merely the finale of an entire live show. Another song in this show was "Amazing Grace" which adds a corp of bagpipers, including a solo bagpiper on the top of the castle wall... more moving parts. You can find that on KZbin as well.

[@danaopperman6541]
