Simply said, that's it. Loreena McKennit's music is some of the most gorgeous music you will ever hear. Period.
Her Magnum Opus July 14, 2007

This is the album that put her on the map. I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it is. I first heard her song "Cymbeline" on "Thistle and Shamrock" about 10 years ago, and instantly fell in love with her music and went right out and bought this album. I have to say, I was definitely not disappointed. The best tracks are "Greensleeves", (which coincidentally, almost didn't make it on the listings!), "Tango to Evora" "The lady of Shallot" and "Cymbeline". That being said, all of the others are very good as well. Loreena McKinnett is a very talented and unerrated artist that I feel everyone needs to know about. Please give this a listen, and I promise that you will thank me!
A Masterpiece from Loreena McKennitt......."THE VISIT" June 16, 2007
Gregory E. Foster (Portland, ME, USA)
As all my reviews of Loreena McKennitt's work reflect, she is a one-of-a-kind musician, and very special as a performer and also a songwriter.
Her music is at once lovely, light, ethereal, mystic, magical, earthy, "Celtic, for Sure", and, always piercing and heart-touching. There are none like her. And, all this done, basically, on the harp!
This was the first I had ever heard of her, and of her work. I was visiting a friend, and she introduced me to Loreena with this album. I fell instantly in love with "The Lady of Challot" and a couple others on this disc. It is a definite "Must Have", trust me on this!
As all her sets, this one, too, is a homogeneous, composed through, entity. Somehow, perhaps, this may be why her albums "cling" to your mind so very long after listening to them....the continuity of everything on the album. In truth, not many albums are created this way.
Pick this up, take it home, turn the lights down, or off completely, and kick back, with some lemon cookies and a cup of English Tea, and let the beautiful waves of the music on this album wash over you, refreshing you from a hard day. ~operabruin

Sheldon Zimmerman (Spotsylvania, Virginia United States)
Overall, a good CD. I do think you have to be in the mood for Loreena McKennitt to really get the most out of the music.
