Noy Just A Holiday Recording:

Well, it is a holiday recording but......
For those of us who need to own all of Loreenas material this work is a must.
I have allways wanted to hear Loreena sing "Star of the County Down" and was suprised by the treatment with "Seven Rejoices of Mary". I think she consider singing it.
A winter garden only suffered from being short, this work compleats the circle.

beautiful:

It is a wonderful CD from a very talented singer. All of her CDs are beautiful.

Excellent:

One thing I love about Loreena McKennitt is her ability to find old forgotten tunes, make them her own, and bring them to us. She writes melodies that sound as if they have been around for centuries.
Far too many "holiday" albums nowadays sound alike, in part because they use the same tunes over and over...Frosty, Rudolph, and Santa. We forget that Christmas has been celebrated with music that goes back a long time. We also forget whose birthday we're really celebrating. Loreena remembers both of these... more info

Loreena's back on the harp !:

If you like Loreena McKennett, I love her voice !
You must own this CD, not a Christmasy CD by no means
It's a studio CD, beautifully mastered.
You must listen to the instrumental "Breton Carol" most peaceful piece of music.
Most importantly, Loreena's back on the harp !
