McKennitt makes an effort to make sense of history, the old world (exemplified exceptionally by 'The Bony Swans'), and spirituality, with her ethereal, haunting music. The Mask and Mirror, an Album by Loreena McKennitt. The Mask and the Mirror is a superb album with the wonderful soprano voice of Loreena McKennitt enhanced by the wonderful lyrics, some of them wriitten by her and others taken from different sorces and adapted for the album.
'Marrakesh Night Market' has a dark middle eastern vibe.
The instrumentation could be better too. The album feels like a period piece, very ancient and just barely of this world, and rather chilling in a beautiful way. The Mask and the Mirror is a superb album with the wonderful soprano voice of Loreena McKennitt enhanced by the wonderful lyrics, some of them wriitten by her and others taken from different sorces and adapted for the album. The Song using the adapted lyrics of John of the Cross is my favourite and brings his poetry to life in a very special way.
The great tracks soar above the average ones but on a whole an album that must be listened to more than a few times to really appreciate. Complete your Loreena McKennitt collection.

The Song using the adapted lyrics of John of the Cross is my favourite and brings his poetry to life in a very special way. Loreena McKennitt's music is uniquely her own with depths that only get richer over time, like good wine.

"The Mask and Mirror" has a few really good songs but not enough to make it great start to finish. "Marrakesh Night Market" reminds me of how there are some songs by Loreena McKennitt is one of the best female voice in the world. The Mask and Mirror contains songs that lift the veil to reveal the soul of McKennitt's work in eight dreamlike, Celtic-inspired tracks.
The liner notes on this CD attest to that and are a pleasure to read, which illustrates her journey to places which may still be hanging on to a wee bit of the past.
