Additional Michael Flatley's Lord Of The Dance Information
|
Part showtunes, part classical, and part folk music, Ronan Hardiman's score to Lord of the Dance, the musical starring dancer Michael Flatley, successfully avoids all the inherent pitfalls of such an enterprise. Hardiman has emerged as Ireland's finest interpreter of traditional music for films, TV, and the theater, and under his guidance the 19 lush orchestral tunes, augmented with many traditional instruments, are rife with the spirit of the Emerald Isle. Two of the tracks feature the taps of Flatley and Co, while the rest highlight the score as composed by Hardiman with all its subtle textures intact and not masked by the live sound of tap dancing. Lord of the Dance is a perfect and very listenable fusion of Broadway and the indigenous heritage of Irish music making. --Derek Rath

The soundtrack and two exquisite show bits with tap dance. Perfect for home and car expeditions who make you want to jump on the spot.
Very good songs but i have given 4 stars for the pieces of the middle aren't that good
the music is hot, and the taps make it hotter, if you get the video, or dvd, it is much better. irish music at its best.
I purchased this CD for my brother. I have had the same CD since I saw this show live and fell in love with the music. We love it. There are only a few tracks with lyrics, the rest are all instrumental.
The way the composer mixes traditional instruments like fiddles with modern instruments like Saxophones and Keyboards is amazing. If you liked Riverdance, you'll love this. This gives the music a thicker feel, pushing it way above Riverdance. After listening to the free samples on this site, I badgered my mum into buying the CD. From the minute I put it on my walkman, I loved it. Whether you have Celtic blood or not you will love it.Tracks 16 and 17 are especially brilliant with the fast tapping of Michael Flately's feet along with the rest of the Troop. I really want to see the show now.Buy it or miss out on some of the best music around.
