Beautiful voice and tune. She has an amazing voice. We saw her in concert back in April in London and she was superb.

The Caucasus is a mountain range/region in central Asia, from which the racial category "Caucasian" is derived.

There is something so haunting about this  - personally I love it  .  . .

Blah, I'm indifferent to this genre of music.  Just not a fan of Celtic.  Not uplifting enough.  Sorry!

This new age blechh music belongs in the same bin as John Tesh and Yanni.

Please something upbeat next.

Just sitting listening to the music with my wife, this came on and has blown me away.

Feel the need to download on to the Ipod.

Great music as always thanks

Hear Hear, Felix!!! I had seen her at Radio City Music Hall a few years back. Incredible Show!!! People were so rapt with attention that you could hear a pin drop. Hauntingly. Beautiful. Music.

... and true that it doesn't suit everyone's taste.

This music has a time and place for me. When that time and place comes along Ms. McKennitt fits the bill and her band of musicians are all pretty talented. I certainly understand it is not for everyone. Ask my kids what they think when I lock them in a speeding vehicle with this cranked.

Yeah, I do that all the time.

Why, I did that just last week!

Naw, McKennitt can be pretty tripe-y. She's been boring up the Manitoban folk scene for years with her D&D inspired jibba jabba.

It's rare when I like a live version better than the studio one. However, the nuances of this performance are lovely.

Found this in her AMG entry:

"Sadly, her world crumbled that July <1998> when her fiancé, Ronald Rees, died while on a sailing trip with his brother and a family friend in Georgian Bay."
