5 out of 5 stars Takes you into Wonderland.......2007-01-27

Beautiful CD -- magical in its fluidity and instrumentals. You truly can let it take your mind into a fairy tale. Simply lovely.

5 out of 5 stars Heart Strings.......2001-11-18

You have not yet lived, nor has your heart been completely stolen until you have listened to Celtic Fantasy. Exuberant spirals of sound dance into your mind as if they were restless spirits. David Davidson masterfully produces audible rapture with violins and his classical roots are very evident in these selections. This is nothing short of audible seduction.

Fairy Dance takes you to a lush forest and is the music of legends, lore and fantasy. The fantasy portrayed is the result of years spent desiring freedom to the point of escape into the imagination. From spry dances to haunting ballads, you will feel the emotions of those who have gone before.

You could do nothing more than sit and listen and that would be enough. But if you could, you would grow wings and fly. This is pure sensual pleasure for the soul in Summer Skye.

Brighid's Blessing is filled with longing and warmth representing the desire for the Hearth Keeper to preserve the fire that burns in us all. To awaken to life with passion. The beauty will make your soul shiver.

Mo Cairenn lulls you into a sense of peace with guitar. Farmer's Hand reappears in an instrumental version and has an undercurrent reminiscent of the vibrations of life or all that is not seen that gives life. This is a sonorous experience.

Before you even know the name of The Fianna Battle Song, you will think of "war." It is mesmerizing, like an unstoppable march to death. Suddenly a stillness and delicious tempting quality appears in The Knowing Tree. It seems to be tempting you to walk down a winding path to a place of true contentment. Charming beauty combined with melancholy.

The Garden has beautiful words speaking of a peacefulness of knowing that the gift of love is free. Mysts on the Glen is sprinkled with magic and perhaps the splash of a selkie. You feel that fishing ships are called by the waves and you can even hear a few splashing on the rocks. Vivid.

Mother Sun makes you feel as if you are standing in the bright sunlight. This open and almost airy piece has a sweet sadness because with a mother's gift of life also comes the promise of death.

Fantasy and Dance seems to be a dance of life and ends in a crescendo. Bittersweet.
Fields of the heart is like the planting of three flowers that grow together in the warm earth and wave in a tender breeze. Completely Captivating.

Farmer's hand appears for the third time as a vocal version. Angelic voices sing of a child's smile, a warm home and how through our lives we go through joy and pain.

"Our lives are full with knowledge gained."

This is a deep journey into musical ecstasy. The violins play only what a heart can say. You will want to dissolve into this music.

I dedicate this to Francis because life is filled with
pleasure and pain and yet we have the choice to embrace
love and the power of joy.

4 out of 5 stars More than just a collection of Irish tunes.......2001-02-10

The first time I heard David Davidson's Summer Skye playing on public radio, the thought never occurred to me this was from an album of a Celtic nature. Having been born and raised in Texas, it was hauntingly familiar...music that struck at my roots. I was so intrigued I had to call the radio station to find out the artist and album. David Davidson has captured a very spirited "warm" album. It makes you feel good and has elements that cross a spectrum of modern music...the realization that many of our favorite melodies derive from a long ago Irish beginning. Highly recommended! Listen to the sample of Summer Skye...the lengthy full tune is even better!
