Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Mixing a variety of styles with a Celtic base, this was McKennitt's breakthrough album and remains one of her most musically interesting. "All Souls Night" begins the album, with dance-like rhythms and McKennitt's wonderful voice singing about the Celtic New Year. Other features include a musical setting of Tennyson's "Lady of Shalott", which, while not as sophisticated as Noyes' "The Highwayman" on The Book of Secrets, is an enchanting listen. There's also an interesting rendition of "Greensleeves" and the Spanish-flavored "Tango to Evora", as well as the haunting "Courtyard Lullaby" and the wistful "The Old Ways". A setting of words from Shakespeare's Cymbeline closes the album, which focuses thematically on life, death, and the borders between them. --Genevieve Williams

Dragonflies & Autumn Leaves

Fan of the softer melodies? Don't miss Bonnie Portmore!

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2009

Verified Purchase

I am a Loreena McKennit fan, but find that most of her music I have to be in the right mood for... particularly the songs that are of a darker (though rich) landscape. But there are a handful of songs that I could listen to anytime, and often find myself craving them, even in my more lighthearted moods. And my favorite of these is on this album. Bonnie Portmore (though the subject isn't exactly lighthearted, being a lament for beautiful trees cut down), the melody is so sweet and lovely that I am washed over with a happy peacefulness, and the image of the love of what was lost is so piercingly sweet (evoking a collected feeling of all the peaceful memories I have had communing with trees) that this is one of the songs that I find myself aching to hear and I never grow tired of. For those who like the softer, melodic side of her work, this album is worth buying for this song alone. If you are wanting to know what other songs of hers I would put into this category, they would be The Two Trees on The Mask and the Mirror (very touching lyrics (read the insert), parts of this one have a slightly darker tone, but overall gentle and melodic... be aware this one has a long intro and ending that is different from the rest of the song), Anachie Gordon from Parallel Dreams (lilting melody, sad love song), Seasons and perhaps Snow on To Drive the Cold Winter Away, and especially Seeds of Love on both A Winter Garden and A Midwinter's Night Dream (which both also have Snow). Come By The Hills on Elemental is beautiful, happy, and soaring. The albums Parallel Dreams and maybe next Elemental would be the ones I think would appeal most as whole albums to people who prefer this style.
At first listen, and a less mature age, I was not sure if I liked or disliked her darker (? not sure if that's quite the right word) songs...I wanted gentle beauty, and instinctively wanted to shut out darker things... but I couldn't help but recognize there was a type of beauty, and exquisite craftmanship, in them too. It is the same way I disliked Steinbeck's writings the first time they were thrust upon me at an immature age. It is funny how beautiful masterpieces can seem ugly to someone who does not have enough understanding of it to appreciate it's beauty. Though many of this artist's pieces may not be the first I seek out when I just want to feel lightheartedly happy, they seem to each be gems that when I am ready for them take me to a different place and, enrich my soul.

A rare gift

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2006

I am by no means an expert on Loreena McKennitt's works. I own just this album and her most popular album The Book of Secrets. Although The Book of Secrets made Ms. McKennitt popular because of the song The Mummer's Dance, which received air play on even some popular music stations, The Visit contains some wonderful songs.

All Souls Night is a quick song about the ancient Celtic holiday Samhain. The pagans believed that on October 31st, the last day of summer, the spirits of the dead wandered the landscape looking for bodies to inhabit. The living lit bonfires, sang songs, and dressed in scary costumes to frighten away the dead. If you let your mind wander, this song can almost transport you to ancient Ireland. Historians know so little for certain about ancient pagan beliefs, McKennitt's well-studied songs and lyrics help bring this lost culture back to life.

The Lady of Shalott is the masterpiece of this album. Adapted from the poem by Alfred Tennyson, McKennitt sets it to music and brings the poem to life. Over 11 minutes long, McKennitt deleted hardly a word of the original poem, yet the music and intonation rivet the listener's attention. The poem is about a spirit or elfish woman drawn to the ancient mythical city of Camelot by the beauty of the castle and Sir Lancelot. Even the way McKennitt pronounces the word Camelot in the song conveys the sacred nature of this most important legend in English mythology. The poem and the song will touch your heart. For me, as I watch modern England quickly losing it's historic culture, this song serves as a reminder of the England that once was.

McKennitt adapts another long poem from English Literature in her later album The Book of Secrets. McKennit faithfully puts the word of Alfred Noyes' The Highwayman into a heart-wrenching song. Again, over 10 minutes long, this is a formula McKennitt does very well.

If I had to choose just one album by Loreena McKennitt, it would be The Book of Secrets. But it would be a cruel choice to have to make. I look forward to someday owning all of her works and anxiously await her next recording.

Our Lady Loreena Shows Us Her Incredible Genius!

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2000

Verified Purchase

I would like to be able to claim that I have in fact been a fan of Loreena McKennitt right from the beginning of her long and illustrious career, but alas! The sad truth is that I only discovered her a few short years ago thanks to a friend who had her "The Visit" CD playing in his SUV when he picked me up for lunch. Needless to say, I was blown away by what I heard as we tooled down the snowy streets of Cambridge past the ivied halls of Harvard on our way to a local spaghetti place. Having already become a confirmed fan of Celtic music with Irish artists like Van Morrison and Clannad, I quickly bought all of her CDs, and as a result have come to admire her work a great deal.
Her voice is hard to describe, other than to say it has a haunting, ethereal quality that is the perfect vehicle for her wide-ranging compositions and arrangements. It is hard to classify her work, because it does encompass quite arrange of different genres. It is safe to say that she draws from an amazingly rich store of different kinds of traditional music, and seems to breathe her won unifying force in delivering them in a manner that is at once both traditional and innovative. Thus, from the opening strains of "All Soul's Night" through the mystical treatment of "Greensleeves" to the ending sounds of "Cymbaline", the work seems to thread itself together seamlessly, even though the sources for the individual songs is often quite different. The only way to properly appreciate her wondrous abilities is to experience them. Otherwise, I feel like the guy trying to convince his lady friend to take her first roller-coaster ride. You have to exp-lode down from the top of the edifice to understand the rush. So it is with our lady Loreena. Buy it and get ready for the rush!

The clarity of Loreena McKennitt's voice is beautiful and just soars as she sings. I really like this CD. I like that it's folky and also continental in the music. Because I love her voice I bought this with A Midwinter Night's Dream. Would recommend it.
