Details: Amazon.caMixing a variety of styles with a Celtic base, this was McKennitt’s breakthrough album and remains one of her most musically interesting. « All Souls Night » begins the album, with dance-like rhythms and McKennitt’s wonderful voice singing about the Celtic New Year. Other features include a musical setting of Tennyson’s « Lady of Shalott », which, while not as sophisticated as Noyes’ « The Highwayman » on The Book of Secrets, is an enchanting listen. There’s also an interesting rendition of « Greensleeves » and the Spanish-flavored « Tango to Evora », as well as the haunting « Courtyard Lullaby » and the wistful « The Old Ways ». A setting of words from Shakespeare’s Cymbeline closes the album, which focuses thematically on life, death, and the borders between them. –Genevieve Williams
