Beware of sellers with "rare" versions..........2007-03-14

I absolutely love the remix on this single. But be careful when buying from the sellers here. They want to charge you from $10 for a used copy to $60 for a new copy. You can just buy it from Loreena's web site for under $10, brand new.

Beyond Magical!.......2005-12-10

10 1/2 Stars! Loreena McKennitt has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard! Magical is a wonderful word to describe her music but it doesn't even do it justice. She will elevate your spirit and leave you awe-struck with emotion! In my humble opinion, only Van, Joni, Marley and Dylan can stand beside her in music!

for the modern celtic soul :).......2004-10-23

Loreena's music, whether the Mummer's Dance or any of her various albums, touch my soul like no other music has ever done. The radio version of the song is well-known (and is energetic and up-lifting - no doubt) but for those of you with that day-dream fantasy of the mysterious celtic life, Loreena has so many other songs that transport you to another world...and to Annon from below - don't review celtic music if you review (and love) Britney Spears and Shania Twain!

The Mystic's Dream.......2004-01-22

I bought this single years ago and only listened to the first two tracks. I started to listen to "The Mystic's Dream" numerous times, but found the chanting boring.

Well, one day while I was cleaning, I decided to put the CD in, and listened to tracks 1 and 2,and when track 3 came on, I didn't stop it as I was in the middle of dusting. After about three minutes, Loreena started singing, and I was blown away!

I learned my lesson: always listen to all the songs on a CD. You never know when an obscure one may jump out and be your favorite!

SIMPLY MAGICAL!.......2003-10-17

When I Saw this video on MTV Latino a year later it was release, I fell in love with this song!, I had to buy the album, but then the single was available, this song is going to take you on a journey!, great voice!, great taste.....simply magical!

Absolutely, Percy at his best............2006-07-15

For anyone who loves Merchant-Ivory films and recalls the background music for Howard's End (my favorite), Mock Morris has to keep playing over and over in one's head; but for me it's never annoying, only happy.

This ensemble enhances every composition - marvelous!

A delight!.......2000-08-12

This is one of the most delightful recordings of Grainger's works I have heard. If you're looking for Grainger or just enjoyable music, this is for you. It lifts my spirits and inspires me with the great performance as well as the wonderful, lyrical melodies.

More music of Percy Grainger.......1999-09-29

Chandos is certainly to be lauded for their wonderful Grainger project. This volume which features Grainger's chamber music is wonderful. The members of the Academy of St. Martin's in the Fields deliver a wonderful performance.

For those who love the music of Percy Grainger, this recording is a necessary one to have.

Every last note..........2006-06-14

A super budget 5 CD collection of all of Grainger's Piano music.
Every last note!
The shipping alone would be $17.00+ for the 5 individual Cds.
Englishman Martin Jones plays these as if he wrote them. He is thoroughly inside this music.
I think his best work to date.
He is joined on CD #5 by Richard Mcmahon and Phillip Martin. Where they rollick in various combos and trios on 1, 2 and 3 pianos. This is exhilerating. Especially on an truly uplifting version of Green Bushes.
The entire set is strongly idiomatic and given a clear, crisp, warm and spacious recording. FIRST CLASS sound.
There are too many highlights to single out, but the In A Nutshell Suite and Green Bushes are especially GOOD!
There is not a bad note or "vibe" on any of these CDs.
Highly recommended for Granger fans and fans of English Piano Music.

Fine selection of Grainger and solid virtuosity to boot.......2000-02-03

Wow. With the many fine wind ensembles out there, Dr. Westbrook's 52-member UCLA group is right up there with the best of them in this CD. The ensemble soloists are both individually expressive and almost technically flawless in the Grainger pieces. There are some very minor intonation misses as a group, a few spots where section unison playing (i.e. "sound as one") can be detected as not in unison, and a slightly irritating (controllable, but not controlled) over buzzing of the contraclarinet in a piece or two, but these constitute mere nuances (i.e. being over picky here). The Capriol Suite (by the string ensemble) should be nostalgically familiar to some high school (or grade school musicians) who performed in full orchestra, a nice bonus piece to supplement this concert band CD. I whole heartedly recommend a purchase here as the major Grainger pieces are included (e.g. Lincolnshire Posy, Colonial Song, Irish Tune, etc.--great selection, very well played). IF you either: 1) desire a more comprehensive selection of Grainger and/or 2) are, for example, a music educator, who could benefit from a 100-piece "traditional" concert band recording to use with your students (or you desire the mass of a full band) I'd suggest the Univ of Illinois "Begian" 2 CD Grainger set, but you have to order from the University directly. IF you don't have either of these needs, you can't go wrong with the UCLA purchase here as a solo CD!

Incredible.......2004-08-03

His music was original, while taking bits and pieces from traditional tunes. He really does not get the credit he deserves! I never imagined he meant for some of his songs to be played the way he played them.

Staggering Virtuosity!.......1998-12-20

Percy Grainger was a man of spectacular gifts. He was one of the most original composer/arrangers in the early part of this century. He was also a spectacular pianist in an age of spectacular pianists. This amazing CD documents Grainger's formidible gifts. It cannot be over-praised. Both the music and the performances are well worthy of any piano lover's attention. Don't miss this one!

Tribute to Grainger.......2005-07-30

My star rating is in relation to the other Grainger Edition discs. This album has many tracks and all the most famous works of Grainger are on here, focusing mostly on his British work as opposed to Danish or his pieces that are totally original work. Thwaites really has a passion for Grainger as you can tell if you read some interviews with her. As Grainger pointed out it's hard to fit music which is so multifaceted into one instrument, even if there are 10 fingers working but Thwaites really takes advantage of the freedom of solo work and is wonderfully dynamic with volume and tempo and she adds so much character to these pieces, I especially love her Shepherd's Hey! On many pieces she uses some of Grainger's style: very powerful and almost frantic playing, but not too much. Listen to Grainger playing Molly on the Shore on piano and you'll know what I mean! This is one of the cornerstone discs of the Grainger Edition. To the Fore!
