A Mediterranean Odyssey
is a two-disc collection that commemorates Loreena’s
2009 Mediterranean tour and combines newly recorded
live performances of audience favorites with
previously released studio recordings, all
inspired by the tones, textures
and rich cultural heritage of the Mediterranean. |
 |
The first disc, From Istanbul to Athens,
features 56 minutes of concert highlights from the
tour, including several songs that have never before
been recorded live. It also includes a 24-page booklet
with lavish illustrations and photos from the tour. |
|
The second CD, The Olive and the Cedar,
consists of 11 conceptualized studio versions of
songs personally selected by Loreena from her
catalogue. The disc focuses on her musical travel writing approach to
the studio recording process and her inspiration in relation to the history of
the Celts around the Aegean, the Mediterranean, North Africa and the near East. |
