Loreena McKennitt - The Visit ( VINYL )

Limited vinyl LP pressing. Loreena McKennitt's fourth release is a quietly majestic tapestry of worldbeat and Celtic pop that effortlessly weaves together traditional and contemporary songs into lush showcases for her fluid voice and harp. The multi-talented Canadian utilizes all of her strengths here, resulting in a rewarding batch of tunes. With larger production values and more ambitious arrangements than the sparse 'Elemental' and 'Parallel Dreams', her flair for the dramatic and the theatrical runs rampant throughout. Loreena is a Canadian musician, composer, harpist, accordionist and pianist who writes, records and performs world music with Celtic and Middle Eastern themes. McKennitt is known for her refined and clear dramatic soprano vocals. She has sold more than 14 million records worldwide.
