Walking in the Air Reviews

• The BEST of the Celtic Woman solo albums

  
  By A35CLKCUCRITU1 on 2006-01-15
  If you are looking for a beautiful addition to your CD library, then this is the CD for you. After buying and loving my PBS Celtic Woman CD I was thrilled to see all of the solo albums at my local bookstore. This is the only one I bought and I know I made the correct choice. Chloe's clear-as-a-bell tone is the kind of voice you want to play again and again. The song choices are also what makes this CD a success. For me, sometimes the Celtic songs (on other CDs) start to run together a little too much, which is why I appreciate that this CD is mostly in English and the song choices and song order was thoughtfully done. You will not regret this purchase. Enjoy.
  
  

• Would give this cd more stars if I could.

  Chloe Agnew is a very classy young lady, with an incredible gift. Her voice is angelic and uplifting. I hope she continues to share her amazing talent as she matures.
  
  

• enjoy this celtic crystal-clear voiced soprano

  
  By AEJ5CNCM8VHOB on 2006-01-12
  Chloe's solo CD is arguably the closest to the sound and production style of the mega-hit "Celtic Woman"(CW) CD from last year. Her crystalline soprano stands out on songs also featured previously in CW including "Walking on the Air", "Nella Fantasia", "Someday", "One Worlds" and "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring"(which was featured in the PBS special and DVD but not on the CW CD.
  
  She adds a fresh spin to the oft used songs in pop-opera circles, "The Prayer"[Watson,Groban, Dion, Bocelli], "Vincent" and "To Where You Are"[Groban]. She also takes on some pure classical compositions including Franck's "Panis Angelicus" and Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" and a interesting vocal to Vivaldi's "Rain" from the "The Four Season's". She also adds the beautiful song "Winter Light" from the movie "The Secret Garden"[also recorded by Linda Ronstadt and later by Sarah Brightman}.
  
  Chloe's enchanting vocal quality will make this CD a must-have. ALthough she does not break new ground, this CD will serve as a great companion piece to "Celtic Woman" and is my personal favorite of the 5 artists featured in Celtic Women.
  
  

• My favorite of the Celtic Woman albums

  
  By A1ER5AYS3FQ9O3 on 2007-03-11
  Not only is there wide diversity of song material here, but much of it is simply haunting. This is an album that is soft and accessable without sounding overly sentimental. In short, it is music that can be listened to b men and women and it soothes the soul. Listen to the song Walking in The Air, for instance. Sound familiar? Maybe so, because it was used in a lovely animated movie called The Snowman. Other songs will sound equally familiar but subtly transcendent when sung by Chloe.
  
  

• I Wish More Things Sounded Like This

  
  By A1M4NJYP0WNL8Q on 2007-01-21
  I discovered, after hearing my first Hayley Westenra album, that I am easily hypnotized by a high pure woman's voice singing things melodic. For some reason this embarasses me. Of course, I think of myself as one of those godawful intellectuals who have long conversations about Back's inner voices. I have to sneak away from myself to enjoy something that is simply pure and melodic, something which, in this day and age, puts emotion and beauty first.
  
  Well there, I've confessed. Chloe Agnew does a wonderful job of picking music that fits her voice perfectly and then being perfect with it. The selection runs from classical to popular, and there isn't a loser in the bunch. What I would really like to know is why there is only one Chloe Agnew album on this continent (or any other). She is another young, fresh voice like Hayley Westenra and deserves every bit of recognition she gets.
  
  
• This is amazing - Real music from heaven
  By A2D68DXNFLL4AR on 2006-04-19
  I don't have this CD yet and I can't wait until I have it in my hands. This review is mostly about Chloe. She is the sweetest girl I have ever seen in my life (besides my little daughter of course :-)). I watched Chloe on TV Celtic Woman Public Television Broadcast and recently I attended the concert at the Laurie Auditorium in San Antonio TX, although I live in Dallas. She has that pure and honest style and you feel that she is actually singing to you although you are in a crowded theater. I am planning to get every single CD she produces because she is an amazing singer and since she is so young, well, who knows how much more she can give us. Also I concur with other reviewers about that it would be awesome if Chloe and Josh Groban sang together, it would definitely be extremely special. My favorite songs are Nella Fantasia and Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring.
  
  
  
  
  
• Beautiful voice? With all of the studio enhancement, how can you tell?
  By A2FS38D943KX12 on 2006-10-03
  Honestly folks --- I can't be the only one that notices the tinny, electronic overtones that come from excessive studio tinkerings with the human voice. Maybe Chloe Agnew has a nice voice, maybe not --- the powers that be have decided to take no chances & have instead presented the public with something hopelessly artificial. Personally, I prefer a voice with more texture to it.
  
  To be fair, this crossover stuff really isn't my cup of tea so I am hardly predisposed to give albums like this high marks. My normal inclination would be a one-star rating, but for those who enjoy this genre, this would appear to be a passable choice. The only track which really smacked of true idiocy was the goofy Vivaldi transcription; all other tracks were ambient & generally innocuous --- in other words exactly what we have come to expect from crossover vocal albums. However, I would be hard-pressed to pick this one out of the crossover herd. It has a decidedly average feel to it.
  
  
  
  
• walking in the air
  By A3MTSKM8ZGUT5M on 2006-04-08
  I'm so blown away by this girls voice. This cd makes you feel like everythings gonna be alright. If your in need of some emotional healing this cd will do more for you in one hour than probably years of therapy could ever do. I carry this cd with me and when i'm stressin....I put my headphones on and take in some CHLOE...ohhhh what a future this girl has ahead of her and I hope to soon see her record something with Josh Groban. The first time I ever heard her was on the Celtic Women CD and her song SOMEDAY...just touched me beyond any explanation I can give.

  By AU1E6KDG1FMG6 on 2006-09-20
  This CD is totally amazing! Every time I hear the first song, Walking inthe Air, I feel as though I've been swept off of my feet. My other favorites are Going Home, The Prayer, Starry, Starry Night, Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, Brahms's Lullabye, One World, and Winter's Light. It's so cute the way you can hear the smile in Chloe's voice when she sings ". . . Mother's there, expecting me, Father's waiting too . . ." in Going Home. She really sings with a lot of emotion, and gives a different feel to every song. Sends chills up your spine, and stirrs tender feelings in the heart. Chloe's disinctive British accent is charming. I highly reccomend. Thanks, Choe, for lifting our spirits!
  
  
• AWSOME!
  By A2QXDZW52W8NOH on 2006-01-18
  Can't write for too long as I want to get back and listen to this CD again. All I can say is it is danm near perfect CD. This young girl has soul. Wow wow wow.
  
  My favourite is "Going Home" although I think I may have a new fav tomorrow!!!!
  
  Enough from me, all I can say is get it and dream.
  
  
• Sweet and good, but she's not loud enough
  By on 2006-03-04
  I agree with Dale Miller on this one. Sure, sometimes a song is beautiful when artists sing softly, but she was overlapped by the orchestra too often, especially with walking in the air. I got so tired of it. the orchestra is great a and so is the song, though.
  
  
• What a VOICE!
  By A2K8VM5550N0O9 on 2006-03-26
  This is the best cd I have bought recently, her re-make of two of my favourite songs, "To Where You Are" and "The Prayer" are just so amazing and heart warming! I recomend this cd to anyone who loves a soft young voice not only through your ears, but through your heart!
  
  
• My favorite Celtic Woman singer. And SO young!
  By A1S46L1VK9NV8N on 2006-04-02
  Her voice is the purest, clearest voice I think I've ever heard. There is no flaw in it whatsoever. It's increcible in and of itself, and I loved her before I even knew her age, but when I found out she's only 16, WOW. She has such an amazing career ahead of her. I can see her making CDs and becoming a female counterpart to Josh Groban, which is what this CD really shows and sets her up for. AMAZING.
  
  
• Chloe, a Young Woman with an Angelic Voice
  By on 2006-08-28
  I listen to this C.D. all the time! I have Celtic Woman and I loved Chloe's voice so much that I had to get her individual C.D. She has the voice of an angel and I recomend it to Anyone who loves Celtic Music.
  
  
• Fantastic!
  By A2YFGWOCI0N18V on 2006-09-02
  Chloe Agnew has a wonderful voice, and whether you have heard the songs on the album or not before, this CD is worth purchasing. She has a way of singing old favorites that make them seem like new. While I have not been pleased with several of the individual albums that have been released, this is one of three albums I recommend you purchase if you never buy another CD. You will not be dissapointed. From the light "Walking in the Air" to "Going Home" this CD provides something for any mood you might be in. Buy this CD, put it in the player, sit back and relax. It is magnificent!
  
  
• Walking in the Air
  By AGB72037U24S7 on 2006-11-05
  I adore this CD as does my mom, who I also bought a copy for. The music is wonderful, her voice is magical and it is the perfect CD to listen at night to fall asleep. One of the best CD's I have ever owned. Amazon let me try it out by reviewing the songs ahead of time, which helped me in making the decision to buy the album and not the one song I was searching for - great marketing! Fast service - product was here quickly and as promised. THis wold be a wonderful Christmas present, even for children who like music to help them fall asleep - it is not for adults only.
  
  
• It's like flying!
  By A2QBPRXBZEXI7 on 2006-11-11
  Purely magic. Chloe has a voice that makes me feel like I'm walking or more aptly ~flying~ through the air. Her voice is pure. Her talent real. This CD is an incredible addition to the Celtic Woman CD and STANDS ALONE just beautifully. "The" perfect gift for that someone special who needs some pampering or a treat for yourself. Hit the "add to shopping cart" button and buy this one! You won't be sorry. Indeed, my all time favorite CD.
  
  
• Lovely to Listen To
  By A2XB5P29LJ8Y6S on 2006-02-24
  Absolutely delightful to listen to. Very calming and lovely, ethereal even.
  
  
• Too much orchestra, too little voice
  By A1IPO3MP1IK2GM on 2006-02-24
  Sweet but thin vocals, oft times overshadowed by the orchestra. I had hoped for a range, at times, beyond the ultimate soprano. After three run-throughs, I have tired of the helium voice. Give me Sinead O'Connor any day for Celtic music.
  
  
• You've heard some before
  By A3NN2XPAIG3DGW on 2006-10-14
  Beautiful music, but many of the selections are already on the original Celtic Woman. Check carefully to see if it is worth it to you to buy this additional album. If you do, sit back and enjoy pure magic!
  
  
• Walking in the Air CD (Chloe)
  By A2RT0QDQUO54K3 on 2007-02-15
  Excellent Celtic sounds of musical artist Chloe. I have dozens of
  Celtic CDs and this, by far, is one,if not the best I own. Her voice
  is wonderful to listen to at any time of the day.
  
  
• Pure, Clear Voice
  By on 2007-02-17
  Chloe has a very clear voice. She has a voice of an Angel, I'd say. She does do a great job of picking songs that people will like. "To Where You Are" really sticks out to me. It's a beautiful song and she does a fantastic job singing it. I also have the Celtic Woman CD and DVD and she also does fantastically well in those, also. This CD would be wonderful for anybody who is looking for a voice that's pure with songs that are uplifting. I'd recommend this CD to anyone!!!!!
  
  
• Angelic Voice
  By AOARJ63SUA9SR on 2006-02-17
  Chloe has a voice made in heaven. Well worth buying and listening to every day.
  
  
• So young, so talented and a God given gift to all of us.
  By A1QDZ919YMYM9X on 2006-03-23
  Chloe, God bless and keep the music coming. So young and talented. I was fortunate to meet her at Philadelphia's concert of Celtic Woman and what an awesome young lady and a class act album. We both share a love of and own Dachshunds. If you love music of quality than you will not be sorry to own this masterpiece. I hope my paths cross again with these talented ladies from Celtic Woman, but if not I will have them in song to replay from here till forever. Thanks, Dennis K. Yates, Mount Joy, Pa.
  
  
• Age Shouldn't be Used as an Excuse
  By on 2006-08-25
  Chloe Agnew has a lovely voice, no doubt, and I'm pretty sure she has a bright future ahead for her, but for now, her voice; it's immature, it's weak and it's emotionless at times.
  She's forgettable on Celtic Woman. I don't know about others, but whenever I think of Celtic Woman, the first thing that comes into my head is Meav, Lisa, and Orla's WONDERFUL performance on Harry's Game and Walk my Love.
  Yes, the girl's young, but trust me, I've met other girls who's voices were much more mature than hers.
  
  
• Loved it
  By A3LMBG29YLPNTH on 2006-08-30
  I totally loved this album. Yes, I had favorite tracks, but overall, it was very good. Chloe is a very talented fifteen year old and I'd recommend her to anyone.
  
  
• pure high pitch delicate
  By A98FJJOL7APVT on 2006-11-18
  celtic voice of chloe , which sings also almost perfect Italian and Latin, but strangely no song in any celtic language [which i would love still more being a linguist]
  She is anyway fabulous , hope she will go on singing and am sure she can reach the executional perfectness of other celtic greats
  Fr example to my ears she is now at heigth of Moya Brennan
  
  
  
• "Fresh...Clean" sounding voice
  By A3H7Q954ZJV4H1 on 2007-08-30
  With her still youthful voice, Chloe brings a welcome freshness to the songs in this CD. Strong upper mid-range frequencies in her voice w/o the usual vibrato I find to be very enjoyable. J.S.Bach's "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring" is a favorite of mine and I was thrilled with her effortless rendition.

• Sooo Beautiful!
  By ARW7IBQ6BMLK on 2007-01-12
  I purchased this CD as a gift for my Brother who is addicted to Celtic Woman together and as a soloists. I loved it so much when I heard it that I went out and purchased one for myself. I listen to this everynight as I'm falling asleep. It's so relaxing and Chloe sings like an Angel! What a gorgeous voice!! You will not be disappointed with this CD if you love Celtic Woman!!
