Loreena recorded this at Peter Gabriel's Real World recording studio near Bath, England. Who doesn't adore Peter Gabriel? On "A Midwinter Night's Dream" McKennitt provides vocals, piano, accordion and harp; with Brian Hughes on oud and guitar, Hugh Marsh on violin, Caroline Lavelle on cello, Donald Quan on viola and percussion, Ben Grossman on hurdy gurdy and percussion, Simon Edwards on bass, Rick Lazar on percussion and Stratis Psaradellis on Greek lyra and Greek lute. Mckennett's celtic music became known in the U.S. when "The Mummer's Dance" came out, here's a live version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBT7eZSSS4I , love her haunting voice,
or give a listen to her "An Ancient Muse" http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000J3EEBY?ie=UTF8&tag=httpwwwspir03-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B000J3EEBY |
