Celtic sounds made an impression on Loreena at the end of the 70s, but as a tireless investigator of music, peoples and their histories, she has never limited her natural talent and she has entered into areas outside this environment, convinced that music plays a decisive role in physiology and self-consciousness. The result is Celtic fusion for some, new age for others and world music for most. Her style, in fact, is such a rich blend that it doesn’t have any label, it doesn’t recognise geographical or cultural borders and her disks sell the world over. The trilogy of The Visit (91), The mask in the mirror (94) and The book of secrets (97) occupies an important place in her wide range of releases. They are conceptual albums, the thread of which is a trip through time through the regions that inspired her, where she definitely found her style.

 

The last volume in this project that she describes as “writing about a musical journey”, and the seventh album of her career, is An ancient muse (07). On this occasion, the search has taken her along paths that lead much further east than the Celtic lands, from the plains of Mongolia to the kingdom of Midas and the Byzantine Empire, inviting her to think about the concepts of the home, travel in all its forms, the cultural mix that forms the basis of human history and our universal heritage of conflict and hope.
