Loreena was phenomenal. Great music, great vocals, great storytelling, and obviously really enjoys what she does as it really shows. Wow! So glad I could make it from the United States.
I was introduced to Loreena's music 20 years ago. Her maudlin tunes have brought many a tear to my eyes over those years, and her concert was no exception. I play her music as well, on my violin and viola, so seeing her in concert was, truly, a momentous occasion for me. Her voice is nonpareil. Her fellow players overflowed with talent as well. That cellist--wow!
With all the electronic technology available today, one sometimes wonders if an artist sounds the same in person as they do on their recordings. I'm happy to report that Loreena McKennitt's clear, strong voice is as pure in person as it is on her CDs. What a thrill to hear her magnificent voice! I came away from her concert thinking that if I had been blessed with even half the voice she has, I would be ecstatic. Even my husband, a reluctant concert goer for any artist, said he has a new appreciation for Loreena after hearing her live and listening to her stories of the meticulous research she does prior to any recording. Because she rarely comes anywhere near our hometown, we traveled to Winnipeg to see her and it was well worth the trip. It was a wonderful concert that we will remember for quite a long time.
This concert was AMAZING!!! Loreena's voice is so clear and sounds just as amazing live as her recordings. I was amazed by her band as well....each member is exceptionally talented and the passion the evoke when they play their instrument is phenomenal. I will be attending many more of Loreena's concerts to come.
Outstanding and flawless, her voice was strong and she provided wonderful narrative commentary to the various inspirations that were the genesis to their creations. This show was more intimate then her last time in Ottawa when she toured for the Ancient Muse Album. A Lorenna fan would not have been disappointed in the set list mixing her upbeat instrumentals with her classic story songs as well as the big ones you would expect to hear. She even included two seasonal classics, a Dickens' Dublin and Snow. Two sets totaling three hours. Caroline Lavelle, Celloist, and Hugh Marsh, Violinist, played with as much intensity and passion clearly displaying their love of music. Brian Hughes, Ben Grossman and Dudley Phillips were equally to the task in their performance. A truly wonderful show. A perfect evening.
Superb musicianship. Beautiful, magical, presentation, Laurena and all the band members were relaxed and tight at the same time. Sweet to hear her stories between joyful music. I drove two hours across New York-Canada border and paid for a hotel. It was a small price to pay. Wish I could have stayed for the Sunday concert! I would love to know who makes her clothes!!!
As perfect as a live concert can be. Best I've ever seen. Simply stunning!
An absolutely beautiful evening with Loreena McKennitt. I traveled from DC to Ottawa to see her and it was worth every penny. She never fails to entertain and enchant the audience and I was left wanting more - like always.
I saw Loreena several years ago at the Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville, TN - The music combined with the ambiance of the theatre was incredible - not only is her voice incredible but her musicians are the best - if you ever want to see a show that will leave you awestruck this is it - simply awesome - I will see her whenever I can.
I worship this lady, and hearing her live completed my life.
