For years, Loreena McKennitt has been one of my favorite female vocalists. But like Enya, her style is somewhat repetitive. Which is the only reason I rated it good. I have many of her albums and have heard her for the last 15 years on a frequent basis. But if you are new or semi-new to McKennitts Celtic style- you are in for a real treat. Her vocals are powerful and soft at the same time. This album has a real ethnic theme- including one song you want to get up and belly dance to- very Arabic. So for an unusual slant on a Christmas album, I would highly recommend this CD.
Great music and great songs

I have always enjoyed Loreena's music and voice. The instrumentalists are fantastic. And the fact that this is about Chrismas, makes this CD all the more special too me. It is so beautiful. I know that I will find it difficult to wait for the Christmas season to play it. It will be well worth the wait, though, and I can always listen to her other music during the other seasons!
This is mostly Christmas/Yule music. As always, Ms. McKennitt's voice is beautiful and it's very soothing music. She has a few covers of the old favorites mixed with Gaelic and Celtic songs.
Very nice compilation of Old Chrstmas songs. Medieval and celtic feel. Something about this music that brought me a feeling of Nostalgia...It has "Good King Wensceslaw" a hymn that I remembered and rehearsed as a kid. Many Winters ago...
