专辑介绍
by Aaron Badgley
The Book of Secrets, the follow-up to 1994's The Mask and Mirror (there was a Christmas EP, A Winter Garden, released in 1995), finds Loreena McKennitt in the same musical vein, mixing Celtic, Spanish, Italian, and new age to create her own distinct sound. The only problem is that she did not seem to progress much during the time between releases. This is not necessarily a bad thing, since she still knows how to write incredible melodies and layer instruments to produce peaceful images. &Night Ride Across the Caucasus& and &Dante's Prayer& are just two prime examples of this. And she continues her practice of setting classic poetry to music (Alfred Noyes' &The Highwayman&). Expertly recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World studios, this CD serves as a travelog of sorts for McKennitt, musically detailing her travels during 1995 and 1996. She provides the musical and lyrical inspirations from each location she visited, utilizing the instruments and sounds she encountered on her travels. Although she may be referred to as the Canadian Enya, McKennitt is definitely her own person, producing music of beauty and warmth.

- @humphreysun：虽说是很老的专辑，可是自己仍然很喜欢。 有碟评说你可以不听Enya,但绝对不能不听Loreena McKennitt。又说《The book of secrets》简直是一张可以杀人的碟。不用听别人的说法，只要自己用耳朵和心灵感受。

- @胤挽仪：凯尔特vs中东风很有特点，最有名的第2首歌The Mummers' Dance好听到成为女娲的升天歌曲。其他歌曲之前不是很有感但是最近被第3首Skellig的歌词迷到：There's something I must tell，Before I pass along还有The waves would wash my tears, The wind, my memory。。。这张的加拿大版CD配有大量的英法双语文案，每首歌前也都有多条双语的关于歌曲背景的日记体文字。
