Details: Amazon.ca This is not your father’s Christmas album. Loreena McKennitt’s primary instrument is the harp, but her primary technique is to take a traditional folk song and supersize it with strings, modern rhythms, and lush orchestration. It’s a style that works ideally with this material. Her takes on « The Wexford Carol » and « The Stockford Carol » will make you rethink holiday songs. Other highlights include « The Seasons » and « In Praise of Christmas, » all songs that are weepy enough to please Grandma but never so sappy they sound fake. Add two cups of hot cider and a roaring fire, and this album will turn Scrooge into a fan of the season. –Charles R. Cross
