Sharing these two albums, SongBook 1 and Songbook 2. Even though they are French albums, most of the tracks are traditional Celtic folk songs from northern France.
Songbook 1
A music lover’s notes
Cécile Corbel, from the Celtic region of northwestern France,
is called by European critics one of the world’s top new-generation Celtic female voices.
Beyond her gentle, sweet singing, Cécile Corbel also plays the harp beautifully.
When she sings, Cécile Corbel always half-closes her eyes, gently parts her lips, and lets her slender fingers pluck the strings,
like a red-haired fairy from a fairy tale holding a magic wand; amid that soft plucking and slow strumming, you feel as if you are in a dreamy wonderland surrounded by flying angels!
This songbook1 collection was released in 2006, and most of the tracks are traditional Celtic folk songs.
Through Cécile Corbel’s reinterpretation and personal reading, it sheds some of the melancholy and wildness unique to traditional Celtic female vocals.
Cécile Corbel’s voice is not a nameless wildflower swaying in a Celtic valley;
it is more like bouquet after bouquet of exquisite, old-fashioned flowers, blooming with alluring charm in the serene parks and leisurely street corners of Paris,
carrying a French elegance, romance and warm poetry within its distant, plaintive, moving Celtic flavor,
so that you and I, scrambling through this noisy mortal world, suddenly project our own distant thoughts and yearnings for an exotic land!
