As someone who has seen her live I can only describe it as one of the most incredible performances I've witnessed. Life altering.
I wish one day I could see her if she is still performing
@@silveryfeather208She’s touring right now. I saw her this week in Rochester NY. Go at any cost. You won’t be disappointed.
@@mrknotthall ugh i wish. need to find money and time. (im in canada. :()
Where in Canada? She's playing in Toronto 3 times. @@silveryfeather208
Just saw her last night. Just amazing.
Her “ Live From the Alhambra “ show is gorgeous too. She sings traditional and self penned tunes in a blend of Celtic and Middle Eastern styles. She’s unique!
I concur.
and the scenery of that show was awesome as well, the Charles V Palace at La Alhambra, Granada (Spain)
I'm a heavy metal fan mostly but i LOVE that concert. Totally worth a reaction from Beth :)
the live version of "The Bonny Swans"
It was excellent live, beyond words in fact.
What blows me away is how good she sounds live... All of her shows sound studio mixed. And the talent she uses for her concerts is second to none.
Only good singers sound good live. That how you seperate the gold from the shit
@@jasmijnariel fair enough.
I love her craft… Loreena is a amazing . She is a quality artist ,and of course , we all should appreciate her !!!!!❤sources ,what see hear and feel she iis healthy and beautiful person. She is gifted with such a goddess instrument ❤ thank you for all u do!!!
OMG someone covering Loreena McKennitt! The Book of Secrets is one of my all time most played albums, and for the most part I'm a metal head! Ty so much :-)
I remember that I bought "Book of Secrets" at a record store though I never heard a song of Loreena before. I don`t even remember why I bought it then, but after hearing the first songs I was listening to it for months. Saw her twice in concert then, and she has amazing life performances. I am so glad I discovered her music.
Loreena is one of our true unsung treasures here in Canada. One of those rare artists whose every track on every album is magnificent. Would love your reaction to any and every one of her songs
I have been listening to her albums for literally decades. Strange, but until I saw this reaction video I always thought she was from Ireland. Always learning something new.
@@javadan Blasphemy, yes, she hails from Stratford Ontario. I dont think she's unsung, like many canadian performers she does stay low key.
She is from Morden Manitoba. I met her in Stratford Ontario where she was living in the early 1980's. She told me her job was playing her harp in the town square. I had no idea she poseesed this amazing voice (a gift!). I found her 1st LP in a Toronto record store because I remembered her from that meeting in Stratford few years earlier. When I played it I Was simply blown away with the beauty of her voice and the music. I will never forget that humbleness she presented then being poseesd by this wonderful gift. Keep bringing that beauty to the world Loreena!
You're crying, I'm crying... I think we're all a little teary after that. So breathtakingly beautiful. Love Loreena McKennitt.
I am in tears it’s so beautiful
😭
For my birthday one year in high school, my friend and her dad took me to see Loreena. I think I was holding back tears through most of it. She is overwhelming.
Her highwayman song is one of my all time favourite songs.
Lorena is one of my favorite singers of all time. I go to sleep with this song. It is one of the most beautiful songs ever.
hey here i am
I’ve been a huge fan of McKennitt for over 20 years. I listened to two of her albums (Book of Secrets & The Mask and the Mirror) on long trips over and over again. Some of the few albums I never skip a song!
I saw Loreena live last night and it’s the best musical event I’ve ever been to. At 66 her voice is just as incredible as it’s ever been.
Awesome. I saw Loreena in concert last November (2022) and her voice has not diminished. Still ethereal. Still emotional. Still hitting all the notes.
McKennett is from Manitoba but lives near Stratford Ontario. If you really want to hear her she has periodiclly had shows in the Church on the main street of Strratford. As I understand it she is known as a refined dramatic Soprano. Listen to some of her other songs and that delicate voice can blow the doors off.
I've been a fan of hers for many years now and I think she has one of the most hauntingly beautiful voices out there. Her live performances of Stolen Child and The Old Ways are definite ones to listen to.
Don't tell anyone, but I get goosebumps every time I hear here music, and my metal soul melts away. ☺️😂
This music is just pure emotion for me. My other Favorit Song is the highwayman. The Lyrics are so ... 🥹
Same, and also metal soul.
Loreena is my muse, by far the most enjoyable female singer , musician and composer to be heard. A true jewel to our world.
Fact: Loreena posesses one of the most angelic voices in the Universe. And she's also a boss level musician. Check out All Souls Night or Night Ride Across the Caucus. Well done as always Beth, Cheers!
Thanks Marcus. Happy New Year!
@@BethRoars same to you!
When she slips these earthly bonds she will be going directly into Gods presence, I mean were else would God want her!
Caravanserai is my favorite song from this performance. It brings the entire orchestra into play.
Great song!
Hers was one of the main voices of the 90's for me. Listening to it brings back so many memories and emotions.
This woman's music is criminally underrated and should be on more reaction channels. I recommend listening to the studio versions of "The Mummers Dance" and "Santiago", she also did some solid versions of these live in the Alhambra too, especially for santiago. Her whole catalogue is really worthy though, I could list dozens of songs. You'd love them all.
I kind of like that so few people have heard of her, relatively. I kind of hate the idea of somebody 'reacting' to her voice and then going on the next week to have equally amazed reactions to some mundane singer.
Just because she doesnt rap about b**bs😢
I honestly never thought I'd see the day that someone did a reaction to Loreena! I love her music.. just so soothing and enchanting. I often take long walks late at night, just to clear my head, and 99% of the time I'm listening to Loreena McKennitt. "The Lady of Shalott" introduced me to her voice 25 years ago or so, I was instantly a fan.
So happy to see her voice and music now are introduced to new people :D
I’m a classically trained musician and I have been a massive fan of Loreena’s for literally decades. She is a brilliant musician, unbelievably creative and so intelligent; there is no one like her. She is incredibly effective at communicating with her spectacular music and voice. She can make anyone who hears her achingly beautiful music cry.
I never manage to listen through this song without bursting into tears. Loreena is in a league of her own, as a singer, as a multi-instrumentalist, as a songwriter. I love her music. Been in love with it for 20 years or so, since I first heard Bonny Portmore on the soundtrack of Highlander 3.
Loreena got me thru some tough times.
I always feel so serene with her.
Beautiful. ❤️
She always touches my heart too and has been with me for 30 years soon. The Mask and Mirror is still one of my top albums of all time, along with a handful of black and doom metal. Love her voice and music so much.
I was there at the wonderful palace the of Alhambra when they recorded this amazing concert. It was in september 2006. A night to remember for sure. She is one of my all time favorit artists. I have listend to her since early 90. She is just wonderful.❤️❤️❤️
One of my favorite singer/songwriters. Love her voice, her influences, her songs, and all the instrumentation she chose. A real talent.
Just before you said it's going to make you cry, I already had tears rolling down my face, this amazing artist always makes me cry.
More Loreena, please!
I bet you're gonna love "Snow"!
that was my first LM song and i was hooked...never heard a voice like that
I love Loreena McKennitt's song Mummer's Dance too. It has an really cool mix of both Celtic folk and middle eastern vibes too.
What you were saying about her voice sounding frgaile instead of being belted out, to me it's like the sound of a gentle breeze past rather than a howling gale. The softness and flow of it adds to the atmosphere and feel of the song, giving it a more haunting sense
Amazing song
I remember her getting a standing ovation for that song when she performed in Paris. And rightfully so. One of the few songs that's ever outright moved me to tears, and that I still use in my own writing. It's absolutely beautiful, and she puts everything she has into it.
Her voice is delicated like a peach. The arrangements so envolving. All works together very harmoniously. Thanks for your amazing job describing the nuances of the songs.
Thanks for listening Ricardo!
@Beth Roars she is from Winnipeg, Manitoba.
And don't forget how well the vulnerability in her voice pairs with the lyrics! It does sound like a prayer, specially considering the name probably refers to Dante and his Divine Comedy. In part of Purgatory and through Paradise, Beatrice (who's inspired by a woman in Dante's life) guides his through his trials and symbolizes grace. The way she uses her voice is absolutely fantastic, and somehow it all manages to impart this history without ever really referencing it directly.
I've been in love with this song since the original album released
Not sure if you reacted to it yet, but I love her song The Mummers' Dance. Definitely worth a listen if you haven't already. Also, definitely worth a listen even if you have heard it.
Mummers Dance was my introduction to Loreena’s music. It was part of the Mists of Avalon’s soundtrack. I had to look it up, so gorgeous.
One of my absolute favorite artists and this is my favorite song of hers. I have already told my family that "Dante's Prayer" WILL be played at my funeral.
Like Prince said "those are real musicians...”. And she is heavenly touched with an unreal voice...
Loreena McKennit has the fragility of Beth Gibbons, but has also the capability of going full Lisa Gerrard, amazing! I have to find out more about her now.
I will never know how Loreena McKennitt manages not to weep during her performances at the beauty of her own voice.
At times, I think to myself, if I was Loreena, I'd sing all day long and play my songs all day and night.
Back before I lost my voice, I used to sing along with this song and could never get through it without choking up.
Thank you for reacting to Loreena McKennitt!!!! I was lucky enough to see her live in concert and it was absolutely magical!!!
I saw her at the "egg" in Albany NY some time ago and you are so very right ! If anything her live shows are even a bit better than the studio recordings. I had the amazing opportunity to speak briefly with her after the show when she came out into the theater to meet some of the people there-she is as charming and gracious a lady as one could ever meet, very much the angel she seems onstage.
I have been listening to her work for decades, and sometimes when feeling down or troubled for whatever reason, I lay back with headphones and absorb one of her albums, oftimes the eyes will get damp, but by the end, the soul is well and truly combed, and ironed out, she is one of my very favorite singers/musicians, along with Enya, another magical performer, a while back they were in a most real sense powerful medicine to get me through the very lowest, and darkest days of my life, the world is well and truly blessed to have their like here among us, as we are to have Beth as well ! (Methinks Beth likes her because of her hair....)
I've read most of the comments to see if there was anything I should add to inform you about Loreena, the best thing that I love about her beyond her singing, playing, writing, is she is humbled, kind, and doesn't care to be on the front page of the tabloids. She's intelligent, loving, and beautiful inside and out. Her style is Eclectic Celtic. Watch her DVDs, "No Journey's End" and "A Moveable Musical Feast" and not forget "Nights from the Alhambra". Thank you for reviewing her, I loved your reaction, as that's how I feel when I listen to her. Either singing or just talking,
Another thing that happens to some people when listening to Loreena, is your imagination ignites and you paint better, write better, craft better, and I'd bet that she is the cure for road rage! I don't mind traffic jams when listening to her. I've never tired of listening, it's been over 30 years of her singing sweetly in my ears. I'd rather go blind than deaf.
I hope you have listened to all her songs, they are all masterpieces!!!
I've been a fan of Loreena McKennitt for many years. I love her voice and her music styles and how she incorporates such variety of instruments.
There is no artist like Loreena McKennitt in the world of music. Not only do you get to listen to that singular voice that has no limitations, you also get unworldly music that transports you to other times and places, an education in the diversity of musical instruments from around the world, and a history and culture lesson to boot. And all of this from a humble farm girl who only wanted to be a veterinarian and never saw herself as a musician. How sad that she is so relatively unknown while thousands who are little more than clones are so celebrated. If you ever get a chance to see her in concert, don't miss it - it is a transcendent experience.
I saw her in concert back in 94 or 95. The way they lit her on one song made her look like her head was aflame with her gorgeous ginger hair. Excellent show.
I love her voice. My Aunt introduced me to her when I was 8 and read the highwayman
Thank you for reviewing Loreena! I knew what was coming and just loved seeing your reaction. The first time i heard one of her songs, i stood there with chills and tears. I had no clue who was singing, but I needed to know and hear more. (this was back when it wasn't easy to find an artist) I've listened to her ever since and hope to one day see her live.
This is from the Alhambra concert. I had the DVD at one point but lost it. I believe the show is from 2007. If you can find it it's worth listening to it in it's entirety. It's Loreena at her absolute best
I saw her in Rochester NY this week. What a phenomenal show. Her voice hasn’t changed in 30 years.
I have been listening to her do this song for years. It still brings tears to my eyes. I've played it at night to relax an untold number of times. I haven't heard it in a long time because I've been hooked on Symph Metal for a couple of years. I am adding her back to my playlists. Thank You so much for bringing her back to the forefront!
I got to see her in Seattle about 25 years ago... got front row tickets! It was an incredible experience!
When I was younger (about 20th) I use to sleep with a CD player playing her musics. Her voice is the most clean and adorable
I love Loreena (and I'm a metalhead) I was just binging on her stuff the last few days and now I get a Beth Roars reaction?! very cool thanks! Please check out more of her stuff. I've said that she doesn't create music, she creates magic.
Another metalhead here, and I couldn't agree more. Loreena's music is captivating...even magical. In addition to this one, my favorites are The Mummer's Dance and The Bonnie Swans.
Well, that’s 3 metalheads who love Loreena! 😁
When I was really struggling with mental health issues in my early 20's, I used to put on her "Dark Night of The Soul," and take a bath in the dark. I always found incredible peace in her music. She's stunningly talented like very few are.
I just saw her live for the first time in Edmonton, Alberta. I have loved her since I was 14 years old. I have to say, she is even more exquisite in person. Her voice has not aged one day. Simply magical!
Loreena McKennitt,what a treasure,I was lucky enough to see her live when she was just breaking out back in "The Visit" era.
I just bought tickets in Philly for her The Visit Revisited 30th Anniversary Tour. I'm so excited.
It is really a shame I can only press like once: At about 8 mins Beth's face is priceless: Loreena uses her perfect technique to tell a story. She is really Unique. As is Beth :o)
I have always loved this song and I have to say every time I hear it I close my eyes and see the figure skater Michell Kwan skating her program to it.
Old memories for me. She is/was my favourite folk artist. And I found her long ago just looking for irish folk. It started with a Clannad music which i found because of very old Robin Hood TV series. In that time i didn't even know about such folk music (as it is not in a mainstream). But I found their music and then tried to find similar music and Loreena McKennitt was my favourite from these artists :). It is also funny as some time before I found her music this way i also listened to one of her songs in radio (it was only one time and did now know who it is) and then unsuccessfully try to find it :). That is why it was also nice that I rediscovered that song and realised it was her :).
That is why I had to see this reaction :).
This is why going to one of her concerts is so amazing. Every song is like a mini concert unto itself.
Agree. That's what I was saying to myself. Every song is a story, but not only because of the lyrics...
Loreena McKennitt is from a small town in southern Manitoba, south of Winnipeg, right in the middle of Canada. Wait till you see her play the HARP!! You will love "The Lady of Shallot". Yes, absolutely more Loreena McKennitt. Try her albums The Visit, The Book of Secrets and Parallel Dreams.
Finally a reaction to Loreena! I have been to her concert's twice, she is magical!
And she's so funny, too! All these little anecdotes she keeps telling in between her songs make the concerts even more awesome!
OMG it took 6 minutes into the track before I realized you had never heard Loreena McKennitt before. What a beautiful reaction!
For the record, this track always makes me cry as well :)
Everything Loreena does/has done is beautiful. She was born in Manitoba later moved to Stratford, Ontario. Fan for decades. Always transported when listening to her. A Canadian fan.
I missed this one. I've been a Loreena McKennitt fan for ages and always like this song. First time for me hearing it in a liver performance. Beautiful. Thanks, Beth.
Heard her about 25 years ago , 3am, channel flicking and on a bloody test pattern of all things. Greensleeves, loved her voice, still do.
She had me after the first few notes. Such a beautiful voice, so aetherial. Thank you so much for introducing me to her! Best wishes!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching Joni!
She's one of my favorites. I have seen her live three times and it's a joy each time. I missed her this year though. This song makes me cry. All of her music just transports me to another time when listening.
Lorena is never disappointing. Such a great artist and singer. It transports you somewhere...with each song. And she sounds great live.
Beautiful...quite beautiful.. Thank you Beth..
Loreena is my absolute favorite singer of all time. I saw her live in 2016 and met her after her show, such a sweet soul and the talent and skill is remarkable. I highly recommend listening to her performance of The Bonny Swans from this same concert "Nights from the Alhambra" it's really upbeat and showcases that robust and lilting headvoice she has.
You REALLY need to hear her song "Ancient Pines". Please please please. There's no lyrics, just pure vocal majesty.
That song, and this one are my two favorites of hers. As much as I love the live version of Dante's Prayer, the studio recording has a subtle and hauntingly beautiful mens chorus in the intro and outro of the song that just... chills every time.
She often brings tears to my eyes. She is simply the best.
This is my favorite song. Beautiful melody, poetic lyrics, lovely vocals.
Fact: her fiance and his father died when their fishing boat sank. She stopped touring for many years after that. She grew up a farm girl. Her life is like something from a sad fairy tale
I'm old enough to have attended this Tour... I'm old enough to still remember this concert like one of the best I've ever heard.
I saw Loreena in LA and it was breathtaking. We had front row balcony seats and the view was amazing. I am so glad I had the opportunity and at such an early age in my 20's.
Thank God that Lorenna McKennitt weaves a tale into every word she sings. With her every note she sings she hypnotizes me with her voice. I'm in a blissful state in love with her voice. She has an opera in every word she sings. Thank God that Lorenna McKennitt came to Earth to energize and thrill us all with her Angelic voice that lifts us up into her tales of mystery and imagination that we love and enjoy with every note that she sings.
Finally, I see someone react to The Fairy ! I've been suggesting Loreena to some channels for years but you just now popped up in my feed. Thank you. Seeing you tear up made me tear up. If you get a chance to see her in person, please do. Its a magical experience.
I was lucky enough to see her live just a few nights ago on her The Visit Revisited tour. Hearing her sing live is truly an otherworldly experience and it was so beautiful. She sounds even better than in the studio versions. I think others have already commented saying this, but it is not an overstatement to say that it is truly life altering.
I would strongly recommend listening to her song Never-Ending Road. The recording from the Nights At The Alhambra concert is fantastic (she sang it at the concert a few nights ago too!).
And then listen to all of her other songs as they are all beautiful!
I attended one of her last concerts in the Cleveland, Ohio area several years back. I was NOT prepared for this performance!! This was the one where she had her full entourage of performers. I did see her in a performance of only key musicians and, although so enjoyable, it didn't have the affect of the full orchestration of performers. I truly say this was the best concert performance experience I've ever had. It was an event I will Never forget. The fact that I was with my now passed on mother, along with my dear niece and sister made it all the more impactful, as we that remain can all look back to that day and remember. This woman is a singular talent...
One of my favourites! I’ve seen her a couple of times in concert, always excellent.
She does a superb version of Greensleeves too!
I can imagine that is beautiful! I'll check it out.
@@BethRoars her version of Greensleeves is utter perfection. I'd love your reaction to that.
She is absolutely brilliant on stage.I attend her Christmas show annually just for the goosebumps.
Loreena McKennett has been a staple in my household since The Visit came out in 1994, when I was 4 years old.
Her music is a direct line to my childhood, and I am so thankful for my mom introducing me to her.
Her talent as a musician and songwriter FAR exceeds the recognition she has gotten in her life.
More Loreena pls... She is so underrated and deserves much more appreciation!
Thank you so much for sharing Loreena's Talent
I've been a fan of Loreena since her Book of Secrets album hit the states.. I gotta be honest, I've considered requesting Dante's Prayer play at my funeral service.. its one of the most beautiful sung songs I've heard in my life.. (and I have heard allot of music in my life)
Great reaction Beth!! Can't tell you how many times Loreena's voice & songs have brought me to tears! Her voice is ethereal in every possible meaning of the word, and her music elicits the deepest emotions in me.
HIGHLY recommend The Mystic's Dream - live version from The Alhambra!
Cheers from Canada, eh!
Every time I listen to this song, I wind up in tears. The combination of the music, the lyrics and Ms. McKennitt's ethereal voice does it every time. Living so close to Canada, I was introduced to her music way back in the late 1980's just as her popularity began to rise. I've been a huge fan ever since. I've yet to see her in person, but will have the chance to do so later this year. I cannot wait! If possible, please feature one of her other songs where she releases the full power of her beautiful voice.
Ya gotta check out Loreena's rendition of Bonny Portmore. It's hands down the best version.
I know her from that cd. Long long ago heheh. Good voice, not entirely my style of music, but yeah, she can Sing!
I have that album. And about five others of hers. I think Bonnie portmore is a great one I would say her tango to Aurora is one of my favorite bits of music in the world. Marrakech night market is wonderful and her version of The highwayman is amazing. Some of her later things are more well-known such a serenissima and night ride across the cacusas
All her versions are the best (in my opinion), try and listen to some else sing Raglan Road, it's flat, boring, no emotion, no connection to the lyrics to your heart. Loreena is the very best.
My wife and I have had the pleasure of seeing her in concert twice now here in Toronto. We always try to see her show when she plays here. The recordings are really good but nothing like seeing her and the ensemble live ! You won’t be disappointed!
One of my favorite artists, I love "Gates of Istanbul" such a beautiful song!
Loreena McKennitt is one of the most underrated artists of the 90s.
Agree!
I love Loreena Mckennitt's voice and style. She is so lovely. When she went into the cry at 5:11, I melted! Strings set the mood so well in this piece that I melt like butter with the emotional overtones they instill. Beth I beat you to the tissues on this one. Thank you for blessing us with one of Loreena's gorgeous songs.
I discovered her on tv in Montreal in 1996 she is truly one of a kind .
That's awesome that you found Loreena, and her ancient angelic musical style. A deep rabbit hole. Try 'All souls night', by her. And 'Mystic's dream'. I forgot- also try Annie Haslam and Renaissance, right up there with Loreena with even a wider vocal range, doing similar styles but more classical. 'Things I don't understand', and 'Can you hear me' are but a few.
How could I have forgotten to mention all souls night? Such an awesome song
@@gregewing3916 My favorite, too.
All souls night is a beautiful way to discover his angelical voice in a high potencial. Hope she listen and reacts to this song
I love her! One of my favorite singers ever 🥰😍❤️💕
Loreena has so many talented people in her band :)
They have to be to keep up with her. She's so humbled and caring of other people and trees!!!
A song that lasts thru the ages. Carries the heart and the soul.
Dante's Prayer, I believe she was reading The Divine Comedy while riding the rails through Europe... Orient express, or the Tran Siberian railroad. It was what inspired Dante's Prayer. This song has always been a joy of mine. Though "The Mystic Dream" is what first turned me onto her music. It felt like a drum or a bell rung in my heart, and I learned what the direction my life would take. Love her!
