Nights from the Alhambra [2Cd+DVD]

Product Description An enchanting musical performance, set beneath the stars in the breathtaking Moorish heart of medieval Spain. Captured in concert in September 2006, singer/composer Loreena McKennitt leads listeners and viewers through the multi-textured landscapes of her catalogue, from traditional Celtic ballads to literary narratives and highlights from her latest recording, An Ancient Muse. Filmed in rich HDTV, the DVD of Nights From The Alhambra evokes the otherworldly magic of Granada's palace of dreams, the fiery and inspired performances of a stellar cast of supporting musicians and, of course, the unforgettable voice and songs of Loreena McKennitt herself From the Artist If these stones could speak... As performers, we know that the mysterious and thrilling chemistry between musicians and audience can make a special place of any stage. How much more mysterious and thrilling it was, then, to find ourselves assembling our instruments in the very heart of the Alhambra Palace, a place I have dreamed of performing in from the first time I walked amongst its enchanted walls. I believe that the real beauty of the Alhambra is that it holds our dreams of the eternal within its stones - the same eternal truth, perhaps, that we performers strive for when we share our songs and stories. I am honoured to share our nights in the Alhambra, and our musical journey, with you. ~ Loreena McKennitt
