Loreena McKennitt - Parallel Dreams

Absolutely beautiful.

This early work of original compositions and traditional songs with accompaniment by Celtic harp is truly beautiful and a must have for all lovers of Loreena's music. Her original songs are so haunting and atmospheric they take you away to a moonlight place. This is every bit as good as her later work, if not better. September 29, 2008

Beautiful!

I enjoy Loreena McKennitt so much that after hearing her first CD, I have bought most of the others. Her music is interesting, engaging, satisfying, and different. February 22, 2008

Dreams

"I'll be a moonsbreath beside your side" from Samain Night.

"The moon-cradle's rocking and rocking" from Moon Cradle.

"Fire Dance" doesn't sound Native American, but it sounds so great, especially the background drum.

"Annachie Gordon" is the song of a broken heart, not because of actions of the lovers, but actions of the parents.

"Standing Stone" has a great instrumental introduction and an interesting story of another pair of lovers separated.

"Maybe I can find a place I can call my home,
"Maybe I can find a home I can call my own" from "Dicken's Dublin (The Palace)" So sad.

"May the spirit never die" from "Breaking the Silence"

"Ancient Pines" sounds like pine trees groaning in the wind, not whispering in the breeze as I like to hear them. Haunting.

This is one great CD. I rarely like soprano voices, but Loreena's is an exception.
