Editorial Reviews:

An enchanting musical performance, set beneath the stars in the breathtaking Moorish heart of medieval Spain. Captured in concert in September 2006, singer/composer Loreena McKennitt leads viewers through the multi-textured landscapes of her catalog, from traditional Celtic ballads to literary narratives and highlights from her latest recording, An Ancient Muse.

Filmed in rich HDTV, Nights from the Alhambra evokes the otherworldly magic of Granada's palace of dreams, the fiery and inspired performances of a stellar cast of supporting musicians and, of course, the unforgettable voice and songs of Loreena McKennitt herself. The package includes the complete footage on DVD and 2 separate audio CDs that encompass the complete evening.

Summary: Beautiful Celtic Music
Comment: I became a fan of Loreena McKennitt since "The Book of Secrets"."Nights from the Alhambra" is simply excellent-For the music as well the DVD.Watching her in concert is simply great along with her band of musicans as well hearing the cd's.It was a shame her last live cd-"Live in Paris and Toronto" did'nt have a dvd.This more makes up for it."Nights from the Alhambra" came in a diga-pak with the discs spread out-beautifully packaged.If you want to see and hear Loreena Mckennitt in concert-This is it.Her Celtic Music simply beautiful.

Summary: Great stuff!
Comment: Probably the best compendium of her work (and a great DVD too, as this gives the audience the chance to see Loreena's really outstanding musicians show off their 'stuff!'), this and 'Ancient Muse' are two of my favorite CD's!! More! More!!

Summary: Loreena is great
Comment: Saw her live and enjoyed her and the band very much.
I was hoping this CD and DVD would recreate that experience
and it mostly does. If you like her music I think
this is definitely worth the money.

Summary: Celtic pleasure
Comment: If there is a singing goddess it is Loreena McKinnett and Nights from the Alhambra is proof. The only problem with her music is that it seems to reverberate in your mind long after each performance. Her vocals are unforgettable and the accompaniment magical with a wide array of unique instruments rarely heard in any venue. In addition to the sheer joy of lsitening to her performance, the lyrics provide a veritable history lesson about the mysterious Celts. As a testimony to her skill as a singer/musician, I'm not sure Ms. McKinnett is capable of a poor performance. She is both an artist and professional and obviously committed to excellence.
