2009 two CD colleciton. From the writer of classics such as `Puppet On A String' and `Congratulations' comes a double disc collection of Scottish and Celtic calming classics. Coulter wrote countless songs that have been absorbed into the Celtic tradition and had a talent for being an orchestra leader too. His album Sea Of Tranquillity became the second highest selling Irish album of all time. 32 tracks. Music Club Deluxe.

On this new CD Phil celebrates and salutes Celtic Thunder with his full orchestral arrangements of songs he's written for them as well as new similar material. His beautiful piano playing partners with the orchestra and several traditional Irish instruments. Celtic Thunder has a 55-city North American tour beginning in September 2011. Great melodies, lush orchestrations, and stylish, no holds barred production make here for a wonderful listening experience. Phil says, To have the opportunity to revisit this material and hear these melodies breathe and soar through the orchestra has been a joy.

Pop songwriter and Irish instrumentalist Phil Coulter melds the traditional and contemporary on his American debut, Highland Cathedral. Filled mostly with light, airy piano tinkling, this music soothes with simple melodies while recalling the Celtic tradition. Soft uilleann pipes and whistles swoop in and out of Coulter's piano, and his occasional use of harp, violin, accordion, and cello add a new dimension (albeit unexciting yet interesting) to the music. Coulter is also unafraid of the synthesizer, which on such songs as the title track, "Tranquility," and "If These Stones Could Speak," creates a lush, timeless feel akin to the music of Enya and one that works well. In fact, Aoife (pronounced "ee-fah"), a protégé of Maire Brennan, Enya's sister, contributes a crystal soprano to select tracks and these songs are definite highlights. Not for the listener looking to push listening boundaries, but rather for those plainly in love with pleasant New Age Celtic music, Highland Cathedral well satisfies. --Karen K. Hugg
