5 out of 5 stars A wonderfully mythic and moving album by Llewellyn!.......2006-10-02

Livelier than his previous CD, "Ghosts," Llewellyn's "Celtic Legend" manages to capture all the mystery, danger, timelessness and heart of eight tales from Celtic lore in these intense, cinematic, richly orchestrated instrumentals. Don't look for reels, ballads and other traditional Celtic fare here; Llewellyn's distinctive compositional style instead blends the best of New Age-style atmosphere and elegance with the deeper, epic sweep characteristic of good movie soundtracks--not necessarily music to meditate to, but very evocative and always a good listen! The Celtic spirit is here even if traditional Celtic musical conventions are note. And this album has great flow--the music always moves along, evolving and developing in a multi-layered, multi-tracked swirl of sound, effortlessly transporting a listener to elsewhere and otherwhen. Very nice! Joining multi-instrumentalist Llewellyn are Juliana on vocalise (i.e. wordless "oohs and ahhs"), Tori Donovan on recorders and other instruments, Sandra Cross on violin and Medwin Goodall on acoustic guitar. There is another album out there with the title "Celtic Legend" by Bruce Huron. I bought it by mistake, thinking it to be this one. However, it was a happy mistake--it's every bit as good, a bit more traditionally Celtic in style, but with some similar qualities to Llewellyn's work, so give it a try too! And for more great music by Llewellyn, try "Mysts of Avalon," "Moonlore" and "Ghosts." For other cool, New Age interpretations of Celtic lore, try also "A Celtic Tale" and "A Celtic Romance" by Mychael and Jeff Danna, "Patrick," and "Music of Celtic Legends: The Bard and the Warrior" by Jeff Johnson and Brian Dunning, and the work of Loreena McKennitt.
