Free Music Notes for The Visit
Free Music Review: Being Visited
Hit: 5 Stars
This was the first of Loreena's albums that I ever heard, way back in 1992. It always played in a room at a bookstore that friends and I used to visit, and seemed to be 'calling' to us to that room; drawn by the mystica verve of the tunes. Finally, I bought it; and it opened a whole world to me; a realm of textured sound, sensuous thought, and aesthetic harmony--yet not "New Age." There are deep rhythms here, and a flow that makes the CD as a whole seem like one, unified, artistic creation; all of the tracks hang together, creating a melancholy yet en-spiriting experience that may well lead the listener to meditative centering, trancing or perhaps even inspired circle dancing. It lifts me up when I'm down, and brings me to the vortex when I'm strung out in too many directions. A healing album, as well as one that stirs the imagination. By all means, experience this one!Free Music Review: Beautiful

Simply said, that's it. Loreena McKennit's music is some of the most gorgeous music you will ever hear. Period.Free Music Review: Her Magnum Opus
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the album that put her on the map. I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it is. I first heard her song "Cymbeline" on "Thistle and Shamrock" about 10 years ago, and instantly fell in love with her music and went right out and bought this album. I have to say, I was definitely not disappointed. The best tracks are "Greensleeves", (which coincidentally, almost didn't make it on the listings!), "Tango to Evora" "The lady of Shallot" and "Cymbeline". That being said, all of the others are very good as well. Loreena McKinnett is a very talented and unerrated artist that I feel everyone needs to know about. Please give this a listen, and I promise that you will thank me! Free Music Review: A Masterpiece from Loreena McKennitt......."THE VISIT"

As all my reviews of Loreena McKennitt's work reflect, she is a one-of-a-kind musician, and very special as a performer and also a songwriter.
Her music is at once lovely, light, ethereal, mystic, magical, earthy, "Celtic, for Sure", and, always piercing and heart-touching. There are none like her. And, all this done, basically, on the harp!
This was the first I had ever heard of her, and of her work. I was visiting a friend, and she introduced me to Loreena with this album. I fell instantly in love with "The Lady of Challot" and a couple others on this disc. It is a definite "Must Have", trust me on this!
As all her sets, this one, too, is a homogeneous, composed through, entity. Somehow, perhaps, this may be why her albums "cling" to your mind so very long after listening to them....the continuity of everything on the album. In truth, not many albums are created this way.
Pick this up, take it home, turn the lights down, or off completely, and kick back, with some lemon cookies and a cup of English Tea, and let the beautiful waves of the music on this album wash over you, refreshing you from a hard day. ~operabruin

Overall, a good CD. I do think you have to be in the mood for Loreena McKennitt to really get the most out of the music.
