First, read the liner notes in English so you can get a feel for what this beautiful storyteller is singing about, because you are probably not one of the few people who understand the native language of Brittany/Bretagne/Breizh. If you are a music lover who is hung up on lyrics, this may not be the album for you. If you primarily go for the melodies, as I do, then you will have no problems.The music caught me, as should you, from the first song. The more I play it, the more I notice the even flow from one song to the next - it feels like one long suite. This album is both calming and uplifting at the same time, unlike the "New Age" Celtic music so frequently dripping with mournful whistles and harps that it seems more appropriate for being played at funerals.This is my first Alan Stivell CD and I will be sure to be buying more as soon as possible.
