Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Loreena McKennitt's two-CD set, plucked from performances in Paris and Toronto, documents the modern-day troubadour's live dimension, luxuriously unravelling her talents on harp, accordion, and piano like a finely woven tapestry. Lovers of The Book of Secrets, The Mask and Mirror, and her other enchanting albums will be pleased by this virtuoso performance and crisp recording of many favourite songs including "The Mummers' Dance" and "Bonny Portmore". McKennitt's voice is in finely polished form here--no hints of hoarse tour fatigue whatsoever. "Marco Polo", a delicious, trance-like jam on The Book of Secrets, rushes a bit too quickly, lacking the expansive, improvised groove that could've richly garnished this tasty track. But this is a small bit of tarnish on the silver beauty of this magnificent collection, brought to life by McKennitt's ensemble of violin, cello, hurdy-gurdy, bass, and percussion that all interlock lovingly with McKennitt's angelic voice. And what makes this gem even more beautifully poignant is its dedication to McKennitt's fiancé, who died in July, 1998, in a boating accident. Proceeds from album sales will go to his memorial fund dedicated to water search and rescue. If in 1999 we weren't fortunate enough to indulge in new material from this special artist, we at least have a taste of her extraordinary music to savour in a new, golden light. --Karen Karleski

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb recording of Loreena Live, 5 Dec 1999
By A Customer
Having seen two of the gigs on the European tour, I can highly recommend this as a recording which does capture the atmosphere. The band are very tight, individually talented but playing as a real unit. As usual Loreena,s voice is perfection. No new material. Music from the "Book of Secrets "and "The Visit" feature. Excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars The nearest to a "Best of" album, 20 May 2003
I was first drawn to Loreena's work at the suggestion of a fellow Enya fan who suggested that I may like her work. However, there is no real similarity in the two singers' styles.

I've since become a huge Loreena fan and do not hesitate to recommend her music to people. I must admit that I prefer her more recent material - a great deal of which is highlighted on this album.

This album is always essential listening for me if I want to relax and always travels with me on holiday. The music is so beautifully constructed and Loreena's voice is genuinely haunting.

This serves as a fabulous showcase for a unique talent.

5.0 out of 5 stars sublime, 31 Jul 2009
By B. Wiles "muse" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This lady blows Enya and clannad out of the water; her music reaches inside you and plucks the coldest of heartstrings. This is real music not some manufactured rubbish that we're told to like. Listen to it, you won't be disappointed.
