On this eagerly-awaited 1994 release, Loreena combines her Celtic influences with world music to create a magical work of deep beauty and profound mystery. She says, 'I looked back and forth through the window of 15th century Spain, through the hues of Judaism, Islam and Christianity, and was drawn into a fascinating world: history, religion, cross-cultural fertilization.' Blending harps and fiddles with electric guitars and exotic percussion, mixing traditional songs with musical settings of Shakespeare and Yeats, this is a dazzling kaleidoscope of feelings unified by the intensity of her voice. Contains The Mystic's Dream, The Dark Night of the Soul, Marrakesh Night Market, The Bonny Swans, Full Circle; instruments include cello (played by virtuosa Ofra Harnoy!!), bouzouki, bodhran, tamboura, dumbek, oud, balalaika, Uilleann pipes and more. Highly recommended as usual!
