I never tire of hearing Méav sing!! She has the most soothing, calming, and comforting voice that God ever created. Her soft sweetness shows through each and every song. The pure, clear bell-like sound of her songs are truly phenomenal...Having heard Méav in Atlanta, Ga, at Carnegie Hall, in Quebec, Canada, Nashville, Dublin, Ireland, and last spring in North Carolina and Virginia, we have seen as her voice matured that the tone quality has never changed...not at all with age...Méav sings now today as well as she did in the early 90's when she began, She never changes. We have featured this song on Méav's Official CelticSongbird Face Book Forum many times and it shows a Méav that many of her fans have never seen nor heard. Méav shared with me many years ago that this operatic aria is "Do Not Break This Day, My Heart" from Deirdre of the Sorrows by Patrick Cassidy. If you will look closely at this video, Mr. Cassidy is playing harp in the front of the orchestra...
Many years ago, when Maev put out her first solo album, I wrote to the record label and asked if someone could tell me where to find the gaelic lyrics to one of her songs. To my surprise, Maev herself emailed me a very sweet reply, with the lyrics, and expressed how glad she was that I so enjoyed the music. Her heart is as sweet as her face.
Her name is Méav Ní Mhaolchatha. She is an incredible talent. Check out her solo work as well as her work with Celtic Woman, Anúna and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra. She has some great CDs out there. My fav by her is Silver Sea. There are also videos with Celtic Woman. :-)
There are also a couple of interview videos, where she'll show you how to pronounce "Mhaolchatha." A good place to start is the first Celtic Woman concert at the Helix Centre in Dublin. Look up "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring." The combination of Bach and Celtic Woman is overwhelming. Then there's that dress...
I wish I knew the name of this particular aria, so I could try to find it in a better quality - if there is another recording of Méav. While the sound quality of the recording is bad, one can still hear the extraordinary purity of Méav's voice. She is a remarkable singer! She has career of more than two decades now and while her voice grew warmer and rounder and she tends to chroon more than she did when she was younger, she never lost the purity of her sound and still sounds as lovely as ever. This perfromance is in the earliest years of her professional career and it is already as brilliant as she is now. I have found the name of the aria - it's "Na bris andiu mo chride" (Don not break this day my heart) and the album is from 1998, bad sadly, without Méav...
