Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Director Ulrich Edel's miniseries adaptation of Marion Zimmer Bradley's bestseller turns the Camelot fable inside out, examining the drama and moral lessons from the perspective of its female characters. Composer Lee Holdridge was thus presented with the challenge of not only reinventing the genre's hoary clichés yet again, but imbuing them with the perspective of the powerful women behind the throne as well. By turns airy and ominous, Loreena McKennitt's ambitiously pagan mini-epic "The Mystic's Dream" essentially shows the way, neatly segueing into Holdridge's initially quiet strains in a way that's increasingly rare among such hybrid efforts. The veteran composer takes that magical introduction and deftly gives it flesh and blood, the bucolic harps, strings, and woodwinds punctuated by brass, percussion, and foreboding choral flourishes. It's a score of impressive range and mature character, from the largely pastoral "Morgaine's Journey" through passages of mystery and medieval folk tonalities to the thundering percussive passages of "The Cave Ceremony" and the inherent drama of "Mordred Confronts Arthur/The Battle Ends." "I Will Remember You Still," Holdridge's ethereal collaboration with Aeone, brings the album full circle and serves as a worthy bookend to McKennitt's memorable prelude. --Jerry McCulley
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - not a calming mist
The television movie was wonderful; but I guess I forgot how many drums and banging noises were in the background. Loreena McKennitt is wonderful to listen to, but it's not the soothing soundtrack I was hoping for with the Ahhhhhhhhhh singing and clanging of steel.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Music of sorcery
Astounding and calming piece of music, especially for someone who loves Celtic and magical tunes. Extraordinary harmony and angelic voices mixed with energizing battle glimpses.
The first and last song makes shiver and truly transcendental dream. Beautifully arranged and played.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - MISTS OF AVALON
I read the book, own the movie (though it was a great disapointment compared to the book) and listened to the music. this is a must read and a must listen too for everyone. there are 4 other books in the avalon series, one brand new one by Diana L. Paxon


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Soundtrack for an Amazing Book/Movie
I saw the movie first before reading the book. I know, how horrible! But I really enjoyed the book. It is one my all-time favorites. Anyway, the soundtrack is great. I'm a huge fan of instrumentals, so I'm probably a bit biased, but it sounds amazing. There's Celtic hints obviously because the movie and book take from that time, but it also is just a nice instrumental soundtrack. I hadn't heard of the composer before, but I will definitely look for him in the future because I love this cd. I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves instrumentals, soundtracks, or orchestras.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Old World Haunting
I love the flavor of ages now lost. The music stirs up longing for the magic of Kings, Castles and heroes. I always find Loreena's music passionately stirring. Thank you for letting me add one more CD to my collection!!
