A Winter Garden: Five Songs For The Season»rank:par: Loreena McKennitt
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Loreena McKennitt's 'songs for the season' are haunting for their beauty and her fascinating voice. Blending traditional lrish music with worldbeat and New Age-like instrumentation, McKennitt's arrangements are at once elegant and eloquent, enchanting and familiar, whether she's singing 'Coventry Carol,' 'God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen,' or 'Good King Wenceslas.'
