A 2CD set featuring 20 songs performed at the storied London venue during Loreena McKennitt’s Lost Souls European tour. The set includes seven songs that have never been previously released on live recordings and six songs from the recent Lost Souls album. The Live At The Royal Albert Hall performance includes Loreena, her band and five special guest musicians, including renowned Egyptian percussionist Hossam Ramzy and Daniel Casares, one of the top flamenco guitarists in the world, plus fellow Spaniard and nyckelharpa virtuoso Ana Alcaide.

On the 13th of March 2019, in the midst of a lengthy tour, the most Celtic Canadian singer there ever was stopped by the iconic Royal Albert Hall to capture the magic that reigned on stage every night. Her faithful accompanists Brian Hughes (guitar, oud and bouzouki), Caroline Lavelle (cello), Hugh Marsh (violin), Dudley Philips (bass) and Robert Brian (percussion) were joined on this night by the flamenco guitarist Daniel Casares, the nyckelharpa player Ana Alcaide, the Canadians Ben Grossman (hurdy-gurdy, accordeon and percussion) and Ian Harper (bombard and other wind instruments) as well as the Egyptian percussionist Hossam Ramzy, although this would end up being one of his last performances. For two hours, the renowned London concert hall was breathless. The angelic voice of the red-headed muse floats above an array of voluptuous arrangements which are echoed back in shivers by the wood panels of the Albert Hall. The repertoire of the evening reflects the four-decade-long career of the singer, although does place a fair amount of focus on the most recent album, Lost Souls (2018). New versions of old classics The Mystic’s Dream (1994), Mummer’s Dance (1997) and Marco Polo (1998), which afforded Loreena McKennitt her success, are harmoniously entwined with new releases Lost Souls, A Hundred Wishes and Ages Past, Ages Hence. – Benjamin MiNiMuM
