An ancient muse


Description


"Det er for billigt at affærdige Loreena McKennitt som en canadisk Enya, for hendes musik skabes med rigtige musikere og rigtige instrumenter, og hun blander græske og tyrkiske inspirationer ind i de keltiske ... An Ancient Muse er storslået, køn, længselsfuld og fuld af dvælende momenter".

"Den musikalske ækvivalent til Ringenes Herre".

"An Ancient Muse may break little new ground for McKennitt, but it won't disappoint longtime fans. Her fascination with Celtic, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern instrumentation (hurdy-gurdy, nyckelharpa, kanoun, uilleann pipes, bouzouki, lyra, and oud) and her preoccupation with mythology and poetry have won her great favor with the new age/adult alternative crowd, and rightly so, as Irish-tinged ballads such as "Never-Ending Road (Amhrán Duit)" and "Penelope's Song" are just Enya songs with more instruments than vocal tracks. Her penchant for quality instrumentals, in this case the Turkish delights "Kecharitomene" and "Sacred Shabbat," sets her apart from the more stereotypical new age artists".
