Lovers of The Book of Secrets, The Mask and Mirror, and her other enchanting albums will be pleased by this virtuoso performance and crisp recording of many favourite songs including The Mummers' Dance and Bonny Portmore.
Road signs to Rome, a turnoff to Munich, a traffic jam en route to Hamburg, a fuelling station on the highway out of Barcelona, Easter in Brussels, buses and trucks making their way through the night. Flights to Montreal, New York or Los Angeles, the lights of airports, highways, runways ... the exotic and eclectic blend of experiences, from the sublime to the ridiculous, from the touching to the infuriating, the invigorating to the exhausting... Loreena McKennitt's memories of the tour that brought Live in Paris and Toronto to life hint at the kaleidoscope of impressions that fuel its vibrancy and passion.
McKennitt's voice is in finely polished form here - no hints of hoarse tour fatigue whatsoever. A magnificent collection brought to life by McKennitt's ensemble of violin, cello, hurdy-gurdy, bass, and percussion that all interlock lovingly with McKennitt's angelic voice. And what makes this gem even more beautifully poignant is its dedication to McKennitt's fiance, who died in July, 1998, in a boating accident.
