Free Music Notes for The Visit
Free Music Review: Beautiful Celtic voice
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this album to finish my collection of Loreena McKennitt. I own all of her albums, and I have yet to be disappointed. Her voice is beautiful, and the songs prove to be perfect for her range. Bonney Portmore is a haunting tune featured on the Highlander. I have so many favorite songs from this artist it is hard to say anything negative.
The Visit Poster
Mixing a variety of styles with a Celtic base, this was McKennitt's breakthrough album and remains one of her most musically interesting. "All Souls Night" begins the album, with dance-like rhythms and McKennitt's wonderful voice singing about the Celtic New Year. Other features include a musical setting of Tennyson's "Lady of Shalott", which, while not as sophisticated as Noyes' "The Highwayman" on The Book of Secrets, is an enchanting listen. There's also an interesting rendition of "Greensleeves" and the Spanish-flavored "Tango to Evora", as well as the haunting "Courtyard Lullaby" and the wistful "The Old Ways". A setting of words from Shakespeare's Cymbeline closes the album, which focuses thematically on life, death, and the borders between them. --Genevieve WilliamsFolk Music CDs
