About
Pulling from conventions both ancient and new, <i>The Visit</i> shows why Loreena McKennitt is one of Canada's most bewitching performers. She celebrates old Celtic musical traditions with a glossy, modern sheen on songs like the haunting "All Souls Night" and shadowy "Cymbeline," with her delicate soprano tracked multiple times as it echoes the bending strings of a violin section. Elsewhere, on instrumentals like "Between the Shadows," she lets her delicate harp and shimmering keyboards take center stage.
