FIRST HEARING:
A rather mighty package of 2 CDs and a DVD all from the 2006 concert in Granada, Spain.
You might not have heard of Loreena but the Canadian singer, multi-instrumentalist and composer is a global superstar and once you have heard her you will agree, rightly so.
This is simply beautiful.
If you have ever wondered how Celtic music might move forward but without any 'crash, bang, wallop' and techno-electronica - here is your answer.
Talent with a Capital T.
As we say - Simply Beautiful. Buy this for yourself. DVD plays in ALL Pal systems.
