Customer Reviews Average Rating:  out of 5 stars
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - beautiful
It is a wonderful CD from a very talented singer. All of her CDs are beautiful.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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 !



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - It is not
According to the seal on the outside this is Loreena's first whole length Christmas Season recording. It is not: To Drive the Cold Winter Away (1987), is.

Beautiful cover artwork. As usual with her, excellent recording and sound. The Arabian atmosphere which has become McKennitt's trademark seems slightly out of place. Certainly instrumental tracks could have used vocals. Some of the songs lack the force in her previous works or other musician's versions.

Interesting and good ... Read More
