SILVA CLASSICS PRESENTS The Symphonic Celtic Album
An enchanting 14 track collection of symphonic themes from film and stage influenced by the folk music of the Celtic lands - Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Isle Of Man, Cornwall, Brittany and Galicia.
Highlights include James Horner’s heart-wrenching themes to Braveheart and Titanic, Howard Shore’s hugely successful score to The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy (three Academy Awards), Barry Lyndon’s chilling lament of “Women Of Ireland” and “The Donnybrook” from The Quiet Man.
Performed by The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra

This release just popped up on my radar. I am not a big fan of compilation albums of film score music but this has some wonderful selections. I am a sucker for Celtic music and I am loving what I am hearing thus far on YouTube. I may just have to purchase it.
