It’s been nine years since McKennitt’s last studio album. The doyenne of Celtic music retreated after the drowning death of her boyfriend and founded several charities, including one promoting water safety. She later traveled widely, exploring the Celtic connections in Greece and Turkey that inspired her latest recording. Featuring bouzoukis, ouds and other exotic instruments, moody songs like “Caravanserai” and “Sacred Shabbat” form a rich, haunting soundtrack for McKennitt’s latest mystical journey.Reviews
