It’s hard to believe I’ve been listening to Loreena McKennitt’s ethereal music for 30 years. But, as the sticker on the cover of this 2-CD set says: 30th Anniversary Collection. If you’re new to Loreena McKennitt’s music, The Journey So Far is the perfect place to start. Her popular “The Mummer’s Dance” is here as well as “The Mystic’s Dream.” My favorite Loreena McKennitt songs, “The Bonny Swans” and “The Lady of Shalott” are here, too. Disc 2 features music from McKennitt’s 2012 tour. All in all, a very satisfying set of music. Don’t miss it! GRADE: A
