The Chicago Tribune gives Peter & Wendy four stars! "...here is a musical soundtrack that is both enchanting and haunting, but more important, spiritual."
This special edition CD
contains 20 enchanting Celtic songs written and arranged by Scottish
fiddle virtuoso Johnny Cunningham
for the magical Mabou Mines production of "Peter and Wendy," based on J.
M. Barrie's classic tale of Peter Pan. Nominated for an Indie Award for
Best Packaging, the CD comes elegantly boxed with a keepsake booklet that
includes photographs and illustrations from the award-winning play and an
introduction and narrative adaptation by playwright Liza Lorwin. Sure to
delight the young and the not quite so young!
Featuring performances by: Johnny Cunningham (violin and vocals), Susan McKeown (vocals), Seamus Egan (flute, low whistle, penny whistle and bodhran), Jay Ansill (Celtic harp and mandolin), Larry Campbell (guitar), Jamshied Sharifi (keyboards and percussion), Mick McAuley (accordion), Charlie Giordano (accordion), Ben Wittman (percussion) and Karen Kandel (vocals and narration). Boston Globe's Scott Alarik
names Peter & Wendy one of the
Best of '98. "A haunting, provocative and gorgeous study of the
imagination's passage from child to adult." "Enchanting melodies creat[e] a rich tapestry of images that filled the theatre with a euphoric atmosphere . . .Susan McKeown infuses the innocent lyrics and melodies with a sweet nostalgia, which brought tears to almost every eye in the house." -Mary Power, Irish Echo |
