McKennitt is one of very few artists to have been granted the opportunity to perform in this breathtaking Unesco World Heritage site. Selections from the concerts originally aired on PBS as a �Great Performances� special.
The DVD includes debut performances of material from her first new album in nine years, An Ancient Muse, which the Los Angeles Times has called �a musical fusion that unites entire cultures,� as well as newly orchestrated renditions of all of her familiar favorites, including �The Mummers� Dance,� �All Souls Night,� �The Bonny Swans� and �Cymbeline.�
The international roster of musicians on the DVD mirrors the focus of her new album. Produced by McKennitt, An Ancient Muse takes the listener on a journey that sweeps across eras and musical genres, from the British Isles to ancient Greece and Byzantine- and Ottoman-era Turkey. Scripps News calls the album �a literary-flavored, Celtic-oriented travelogue of the Mediterranean region of centuries ago,� and McKennitt herself describes the album by saying �I don�t know where I�m going to go on this trip. I�m just going to get on board the train and allow each encounter to lead to the next.�
