 Sight and Sound Reveal This Artist May 13, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have always found Loreena's voice intriguing, almost haunting. But music alone does not tell much about the performer. This video does. When you see her sing a duet with her harp or dance with her accordian you become aware of an attractive and enchanting personality. Besides being a great musician she is intelligent with messages that she wants her music to convey. Curiosity about life, respect for the past, and a reverence for the spiritual are her messages. You can see how she comes across by observing the chemistry she has with her back-up musicians. This really shows up on "The Mummer's Dance" where they all have a lot of fun. This is a very professionally done video and well worth every penny.

Loreena Can Do No Wrong March 11, 2007
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
First off, I must confess to being an avid Loreena McKennitt fan. I first heard her, over ten years ago, at 2:30 in the AM, broadcast over the local university radio station. Not exactly the finest spot for notoriety. I went out and bought the album the next day, and have purchased everyone since. So then it came as a pleasant surprise to find out that a video had been released this past Christmas season (2006), and I had somehow missed the debut. My loss for not being on top of that . . . my gain for finding out as soon as I did! Ms. McKennitt's voice is probably not that superstar sound that sells multi-million albums, be it opera, rock, or anything in between. But then, her audience is selective, and (I am thankful to say) growing. She evokes an otherworldly, ethereal presence to all her music. Her research is quite in depth, and her instrumental talents go hand-in-hand with her innate ability to draw a listener into the world that she describes in song. A clear voice that many times she veils in a whispered quietness, her perfect intonation and precise inflections all conspire to wisk the listener away before they are aware they have left. This DVD provides movement and a face to all those wonderful albums. She is "not just another pretty face", but an artist of great skill, talent, and a gift for sharing her world while making you believe you are the honored guest. My only sorrow was the brevity of the DVD - I wish that it had been longer. However, I am given to understand a PBS special is forthcoming this spring, and I am hoping that a DVD will follow.
 A Good Introduction To Loreena February 27, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
If you've never heard her music, or seen her in concert, this is a wonderful way to be introduced. But for the long time Loreena fan, this might be a little disappointing as you long for more at the end of the documentry.

`No Journey's End' is a beautifully conceived and masterfully produced journey into the heart and soul of one of the most talented and spiritually aware composers and musicians in the world today, Loreena McKennitt.
Contents:
- No Journey's End (26:19); a mini-documentary following Loreena to beautiful and exotic sites as she traces her musical influences to their ancient source. Loreena is not only attractive to behold, but highly articulate. She provides the sole commentary on this journey, not only providing fascinating glimpses into the evolution of her unique sound but lessons in history and spirituality as well.
- The Bonny Swans (4:00); a music video from `The Mask And Mirror."
- The Mummers' Dance (3:58); a music video from `The Book Of Secrets.'
- Explore the Music of Loreena McKennitt; an interactive discography.
If you didn't love Loreena before you will once you view this fantastic DVD. A must own!
