 Notes & Reviews
 
 
Excellent and moving!!
- Harry Stafford, 09/01/2010, USA

Full title is: Journey Begins [Box Set] [Bonus CD]


Her music seems like it is from another world. Harpist songwriter Loreena McKennitt possesses a multi-octave singing voice that lights up her celestial, Celtic-derived compositions. She often matches classic British poetry with original music that digs deep into neoclassical terrain mixed with Elizabethan folk, Middle Eastern styles, and other ethnic influences. She has been releasing albums of her unique music since the mid-1980s to a devoted following. McKennit continued to record and tour selectively on her own schedule into the 2000s.
