Summary: Excellent! A must BUY for music lovers
Comment: I bought my 1st Celtic CD about 18 mths ago. Just love it. Played it over and over again. I'm still listening to it now.
When you have not heard it - you would not think it's good.
But, if you hear it - believe me, you'll never stop playing the CD over and over again.

Summary: A great cd
Comment: I would rate the cd a 10. The song selection and Haley's great voice is just amazing. The cd is a better presentation than the dvd as the acoustics and instrumentals is perfect.

Summary: Hayley's Heavenly Treasure
Comment: Complementing her recent tour with Celtic Woman as well as her own heritage, Celtic Treasure once again blesses us with a beautifully sung collection of well crafted and orchestrated music that showcases the vocal talents of this gifted artist from New Zealand.
Included are Scarborough Fair, Danny Boy, and other Celtic standards that sound like fresh material written just for her. Especially memorable is Abide With Me and the hauntingly beautiful Sonny.
Two self-penned songs, Let Me Lie and Summer Rain, provide a hint of what is to come regarding Hayley's songwriting abilities. They are both good songs and we hope with her busy schedule she finds time to write more.
The future looks very bright for Hayley and her next CD is eagerly anticipated.

Editorial Reviews:

Having sung before royalty and performed with the Irish super-group Celtic Woman, Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, and Welsh baritone Bryn Terfel, the very young and remarkably beautiful singer is back with a tribute to her Celtic ancestry. As with her previous Platinum-selling releases (she is already a huge star in her native New Zealand, Japan, Australia, and the UK), the orchestrations are lush, with sighing phalanxes of strings and woodwinds. But in keeping with the avowed theme, there are also soft touches of soulful, wavering tin whistles and vaguely fiddle-like violin vamps. The program is more varied than the album's title might lead one to expect, encompassing everything from "The Last Rose Of Summer" and "Danny Boy" to "Shenandoah," "Scarborough Fair," "Abide With Me," and even a couple of more pop-oriented songs penned by Westenra herself. However, brief sideways winks toward Nashville or the Great White Way do not adulterate the album's overall mood of ethereal, remote bliss. The one misstep is an English-language cover of "Un Bel Di" ("One Fine Day") from Puccini's Madama Butterfly: an aria unsuited to the artist's fragile, bell-like soprano and placid temperament. This aside, established classical crossover/theatrical divas like Sarah Brightman would be wise to begin looking to their laurels. --Christina Roden
