Loreena McKennitt - The Mask & The Mirror LP - Gold Vinyl-

1 mei 2026

Self-produced and boasting an exotic palette of instrumentation from cello and uillean pipes to dumbeg, tabla and oud, Loreena’s fifth album was released in 1994 and has since sold several million copies worldwide. Spanning Spanish, Celtic and Moroccan influences, it follows paths of inspiration from Ireland to Santiago de Compostella to the Middle East. Accompanying musical settings of poems by St. John Of The Cross and Shakespeare are eclectic, richly-textured originals including a seductively dramatic “The Mystic’s Dream” and “Marrakesh Night Market”. Remastered for vinyl by Jeff Wolpert in 2015, a 180g black vinyl edition was released in 2016 in a limited edition of 10,000 copies. This new edition is pressed on 140g gold vinyl and packaged in the original artwork with a four page booklet, measuring 12' x 12' and containing Loreena's sleeve notes and recording credits
