Loreena McKennitt's fourth album (from 1991) took on the form of musical historical travel writing. 

 

An award-winning release, The Visit explores Celtic and folk influences, recast in an adventurous and contemporary light, and features evocative lyrics by Tennyson, Shakespeare, Henry VIII and Loreena herself.

 

Includes the beloved 11 and a half minute The Lady Of Shalott, the frequently covered Tango To Evora, and concert favourites Bonny Portmore, All Souls Night and The Old Ways.

 

Remastered for vinyl by Jeff Wolpert in 2015, a 180g black vinyl edition was released in 2016 in a limited edition of 10000 copies.

 

Also produced at Record Industry, this 2024 limited edition is pressed on 140g crystal clear vinyl.
