A unique career that is reflected in her work with Celtic music combined with world music. From her beginnings on the streets of Toronto to her highly successful Quinlan Road label, Loreena McKennitt has recorded her albums in very different places - a stable in Ontario, a Benedictine monastery in Ireland, or even Peter Gabriel's Real World studio in England. Her distinctive, eclectic Celtic sound combines Moorish and Middle Eastern influences, and her own lyrics blend with those of Shakespeare, W.B. Yeats and Alfred Lord Tennyson. The Journey So Far" - The Best of Loreena McKennitt is available in its entirety on CD, digital and vinyl. The deluxe edition complements the release with a second CD featuring highlights from a live performance during "A Midsummer Night's Tour" recorded at the Zitadella in Mainz - a return to the city where the 2012 album "Troubadours On The Rhine" was recorded. The Journey So Far - The Best of Loreena McKennitt" contains a selection of Loreena's favourite songs, chosen by Loreena herself for her fans. On the Best of album you will of course find all the important songs of her career, such as "The Mummers' Dance" or "Bonny Portmore", which was written for the soundtrack of the movie Highlander III - The Legend. The album also includes Dante's Prayer, which is mentioned in Dan Brown's latest bestseller "Inferno", and The Mystic's Dream from the TV series "The Mists of Avalon". It is very fascinating when you reach a point where the distance between the past and the present is so great that you can look back and ask yourself: How did I get here? When I look at the material for The Journey So Far, I think about all the places I've been, the people I've met, and of course all the experiences I've had, and then I realize how rich and amazing my journey has been." Loreena McKennitt says. '"I think a lot of my fans are anticipating the new album, and I can say with excitement that I've already started exploring. At the same time, I've noticed that in some parts of the world, fans are having trouble accessing my entire catalogue, and this 30th anniversary is also an opportunity to bring them back the musical highlights of those 30 years." The ,,Journey" - The Journey so far - has earned Loreena worldwide recognition. In 2002 she was asked to perform in honor of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II on her Golden Jubilee, and recently sang at Sean Parker's fairytale wedding ("Napster", "Facebook", "Spotify"). Loreena's music is worldly, mesmerizing, stylish and warms the soul. Reviews
