唱片介绍
在1994年的一个神奇之夜，欧洲电视网歌唱比赛中放映了一个7分钟的舞剧短片，3亿观众看得心醉神迷。一夜之间“Riverdance”以其闻所未闻的张扬的音乐和舞蹈成为一个让世人津津乐道话题。人们意犹未尽。由此该短片的制作人MOYA DOHERTY趁热打铁，邀集celitc音乐大师BILL WHELAN和著名导演John McColgan以及舞王Michael Flatley，在充实了原始版本的构架后,完成了这部精彩绝伦的歌舞作品—《Riverdance》。这是一个奇观，一个celtic音乐的奇观，一个celtic音乐融合celtic传统舞浇铸的艺术奇观，一个celtic与弗朗明戈、东欧传统音乐碰撞出的奇观，一个worldmusic的奇观。

1995年，《Riverdance》自celtic音乐之乡－都柏林的波音剧场首演，即轰动爱尔兰大地。由此开始了《Riverdance》的世界之旅，其精湛的演出令世界各地的观众叹为观止。到2002年3月5日，《Riverdance》已在全球巡演5000场，而且邀演不断，至今其演出日程已排至2003年6月。
《Riverdance》以传统爱尔兰民族特色的踢踏舞为主轴，融合热情奔放的西班牙佛朗明哥舞，并吸取古典芭蕾与现代舞蹈的精髓，共同营造出一场气势如虹，聚力万钧的精彩舞作。其舞步响起的时候犹如启动动力引擎，那狂野的舞蹈技巧和军人般的精确，让震撼迅速传遍你的全身心。而由BILL WHELAN创作的激扬音乐及合唱团Anúna的天籁美声更是起到了画龙点睛的作用。
