„Back to the roots“ schwebt wie ein stilgebendes Motto über The Wind that shakes the Barley. Auf ihren letzten Alben hatte sich die kanadische Künstlerin eher mit der Musik des Mittleren Ostens auseinandergesetzt, mit Suffi-Einflüssen experimentiert und keltische sowie arabische Traditionen in einem faszinierenden Weltmusikmix vermengt. Mit The Wind that shakes the Barley ist Loreena McKennitt nun wieder zu ihren musikalischen Wurzeln zurückgekehrt: den Traditionals der irischen und schottischen Folkmusik, mit denen sie 1985 ihre Karriere begonnen hatte. Fans ihrer ersten Alben Elemental oder To Drive the Cold Winter away werden dies zu schätzen wissen. All diejenigen, die die Kanadierin erst mit späteren, weitaus erfolgreicheren Werken wie Book of Secrets oder An Ancient Muse entdeckt haben, sind herzlich eingeladen, sich auf eine inspirierende musikalische Reise in die Vergangenheit zu begeben.
Der Titel des Albums geht – ebenso wie der gleichnamige Ken-Loach-Film aus dem Jahr 2006 – zurück auf ein Gedicht des irischen Dichter Robert Dwyer Joyce. Mit „Down by the Sally Gardens“, einem weiteren Klassiker der Irish Folk Music, ist auch der große W.B. Yeats vertreten. „The Death of Queen Jane“ ist – neben dem abschließenden, wundervollen „The Parting Glass“ – eine der besinnlichen Balladen des Albums. Das Lied schildert die Ereignisse, die sich um den Tod von Jane Semyour, der dritten Frau Heinrichs VIII., ranken. Das getragene Instrumentalstück „The Emigration Tunes“ bezieht sich auf die große Hungersnot, die in den 40er Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts Irland heimsuchte, und eine Million Iren zum Auswandern zwang, u.a. nach Kanada. Aber nicht nur mit den stillen, leisen Tönen kennt McKennitt sich aus: Traditionals wie „The Star of the Country Down“, das bis ins 18. Jahrhundert zurückdatiert, oder „As I Roved Out“ gehen auch richtig in die Beine. Kein Wunder, denn gemeinsam mit ihren Musikern – Hugh Marsh (Violine), Caroline Lavelle (Cello), Brian Hughes (Gitarre) und Ben Grossman (Hurdy-Gurdy) – spielt Loreena McKennitt nach Herzenslust auf und sorgt wie üblich für musikalischen Hochgenuss. The Wind that shakes the Barley ist eine Rückbesinnung auf eine traditionelle Instrumentierung und eher klassische Arrangements: McKennitts glasklare Stimme, die gleichzeitig voller Wärme ist, fügt sich hervorragend in dieses stimmungsvolle Ensemblestück ein. -- Ellen Große

"Troubadours On The Rhine" is yet another example of how much more brilliant Loreena's voice is live. The purity of her voice live is unlike anything I've heard recently. A wonderful album indeed. She must come to Ireland soon!

Hi to all! As fan of her for me is sad thing that i and my friends cant go to concert (job and life issues) and so i have 4 tickets for Loreena Mckennit concert in Firezne 18. april. If you need them contact me. P.S. I apologize if this is against the rules - if it is delete it.

SeaDog: There's definitely more going on than just Celtic influences, but she definitely covers more Irish folk songs than she does folk from anywhere else. But yeah, "eclectic Celtic" doesn't really capture what she does.

Celtic???? Is Istanbul etc really part of Ireland now??? There are many influences of many nations in her music that I can tell.

The new "Troubadours on the Rhine" doesn't add much to the collection, but the quality is superb. Loreena's voice sounds amazing and makes it difficult to believe that it is a live recording.
