Vocalists Len Graham and Pádraigín Ní Uallacháin are accompanied by a number of musicians and the multitalented player and producer Garry Ó Briain on a collection of songs that kids will appreciate and love and that parents will both remember on occasion, and enjoy throughout. It's never cutesy or cloying and offers both the repetitive songs that younger children love and some clever (and once or twice scary) songs that grab the older kids' attention. Throughout the album the musicianship is high, with a special nod to accordion work of Mairtin O'Conner that's quite impressive. When I Was Young is a step above the current bumper crop of preachy or New Age children's records that masquerade as "Celtic." This one will actually have them clamoring for some of the real (adult) thing in a few years. --Louis Gibson

Customer Reviews:

A gorgeous Celtic album...!.......2003-08-20

Not actually a "various artists" release, however: Len Graham, Garry O Briain and vocalist Padraigin Ni Uallachain are all co-collaborators on this fine Celtic outing. A lovely and delightful album, featuring pretty, lavishly melodic versions of over two dozen obscure Irish children's songs. Graham's old-man voice is always a delight, while for her part Ni Uallachain fills these songs out with a classic Celtic sonorousness. The material is pleasantly unfamiliar, playful and engaging, while the arrangements are richly fleshed out and satisfying. Nice disc -- highly recommended, especially as the title might lead some Celtic music fans to pass it by.

Children's music that adults will treasure, too.......2001-10-19

This is an astounding collection of songs that are so varied and beautiful, I would recommend them to anyone with children. The mood varies from lighthearted and funny to sweet and wide-eyed with even a little touching melancholy thrown in to keep things truly Irish. If these songs don't stay in your heart, I don't know what will. At the risk of sounding like a total sap, I once danced around the kitchen with my 2 year-old daughter to the song, "Magical Band" and she smiled happily, wondering why my eyes were filling with tears.

A must have for any childs music library.......2000-08-27

This is a wonderful cd with excellent musical quality. The music is a much higher quality than the typical childrens cd's available. My 1 year old daughter can't help moving to the music whenever its played. Lyrical content of a few songs is rather dark, but this is a cd that the parents will enjoy as much as the children.

Great for dancing.......2000-08-13

My 3 year-old daughter loves dancing to this lively, fun-filled music. The voices are beautiful and harmonious and the music up-beat and perfectly paced for a young child. While the lyrics to a couple of the songs are rather gruesome, the music itself is never dark but always light and airy. I would definately recommend this CD not only as an introduction to the delights of irish music but as a joyful experience on its own, and not only for children. This is one of my favorite irish music CDs, for the quality of the singing and the choice of songs. It ranks high up on my list of possible gifts for friends of all ages.

great to sing w/ baby.......2004-08-30

I love this CD. My daughter loves when I sing it to her!

For those young [at heart].......2003-05-04

Years ago, I purchased this album, being a fan of all things Winnie-the-Pooh.

Although I enjoy the lyrics from the Disney series and movies, I do not agree with some of the interpretations. I most enjoyed the performances by The Chieftans, however!

This music is perfect for children of all ages........1999-01-05

When my seven-year old daughter's tape broke, we were distraught--then we thought of ordering a CD from Amazon. Not only did we get it in record time and at a savings, but now we can all go to sleep again, dreaming of the 100 Acre woods.

Delightfully fun!.......1998-07-14

I am a baby boomer, and I purchased this tape for myself and my 7 yr old son. We fight over it! It is delightfully fun. We enjoyed all the songs!

A well-done album without the silly psuedo-pub backgound noise. Thirty well and semi-well known Irish tunes sung by professional musicians. Better editing might have eliminated the 'rush-to-pack- it-in' feeling. All in all, an excellent value.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent performer.......2007-03-09

This plates are wonderful. I was charmed, and when I close my eyes now, I see scenes with American in Paris or Porgy and Bess but my favorite piece of music is Rhapsody in Blue. It's more than excellent is fantastic. Jack Gibbons perfectly feels the unique tone Gershwin's music, the mixture rythms of jazz with influences of impressionists and clear and beauty melodies.
I'm fascinating.

A unique project.......2006-11-23

Gibbons' undertaking is unique: to reconstruct and then execute and record the note-for-note playing of Gershwin as documented on the composers' piano rolls, sound recordings and certain published arrangements. I agree with the reviewer who points out that the result is like a library and not a recital you sit back and listen to (or get up and dance to). In fact Gibbons does some editing of his "library" now and then, and clearly documents it in his liner notes: in some reconstructions he augments accompaniment effects and even the melodic line itself. I don't mind that at all, especially as Gibbons scrupulously accounts for such tampering in his liner notes; but it seems to me that it is in this area of "tampering" that Gibbons the artist is asserting himself...which of course undermines the "library", the "historical archive": you have to search and read a bit to find out when you're hearing only Gershwin and when you're hearing some added Gibbons. I don't mind; Gibbons is a remarkable artist in his own right, not merely an impeccable documentarian. For sheer generosity of production Gibbons' Gershwin must also be unique: 4 cd's, scholar-level liner notes (yes, you need a magnifying glass to read them), and rock-bottom bargain price.

Gershwin historical, manic, perfect, archival.......2006-06-12

First: this is 4 high-end produced cd's (in low-end jewel cases) for the price of 2. The liner notes of all 4 cd's are condensed in a booklet of microscopic print, so you may need to spend the savings on a magnifying glass. MONEY WELL SPENT.
Second: Jack Gibbons plays (and has recorded) the Alkan op 39 etudes (he probably plays a lot more Alkan than that). For those of you not in the know, this is to say he has world-class chops, indeed history-class (Liszt, who never played his friend Alkan, at least in public). But it's also to say that Gibbons knows how to interpret and personalize fantastically difficult piano music. For me, his Alkan op 39 is personal and passionate and real (contrast the facile and over-pedalled Hamelin and the just-the-notes-ma'me Ringeissen). An appreciation of Gibbons' Alkan is important here because while his Alkan is uniquely personal (as such music must be, no matter how hard it is to play) his Gershwin is deliberately impersonal...which is to say: no pianist, no singer would want to reproduce what Gibbons has given us in these 4 cd's, and in fact few listeners will be able to listen for long to these 4 cd's without a respite, a break , some silence, some minimal styling from somebody (anybody) else...which brings me to
Third: This is an archive, not a recital. This is a library, not a program. There is no track-by-track contrast of moods here, no track-by-track concession to easy listening, varied delight, any more than a library shelf of novels is alphabetized by authors' last names as a concession to mood or fancy or taste of the searching patron. This is the documented Gershwin in his recording mode: manic, notey, clever, "on", and never, as generations of stylists found in him, ravishing, tender, longing, sweet, glad, hopeful...person-to-person, in a word. I can listen to these cd's about half an hour at a time, max. This is Gerwhsin, not Gibbons. And this is just one side of Gershwin. He died at 38, in the summer. Brain tumor. A lot of pain.
Finally, Jack Gibbons has given the world a uniquely valuable and easily available resource. Gibbons could now do us a service by playing us some Gershwin as he feels it, as it hits him and makes him sing (as Gershwin, our American Schubert, does to all of us, and as I think Alkan has done to Gibbons). I would love to see a Gershwin stylings by Gibbons now that Gibbons himself has made sure Gershwin in his authenticity is safe and sound.

Definative.......2005-07-23

Here's the whole Gershwin catalog at a great price... Five plus hours of bliss. Definately five stars!

Gibbons, according to a family friend and biographer Edward jablonski "recreates Gershwin's style." I'll never know. I can say this is a lively recording and has the perfect balance. It's neither stuffy and plodding or cute.

As a 33 year old Father of one, I've enjoyed listening to this album repeatedly. Its quite enjoyable. I must add that I am impressed most with Kathy Lee Gifford, her "My Balloon" just makes me think of playing with my 2 year old and enjoying his company. What a great album for parents as well as children. Buy this!!
