Loreena Mckennitt – The Visit: The Definitive Edition

The Juno Award-winning album that propelled Loreena McKennitt onto the international stage 30 years ago is set to be released on September 24 as The Visit. The original album, recorded in 1991, has since sold more than two million copies across more than 40 countries and is viewed as a defining, page-turning moment in the Canadian artist’s career.
“Thirty years seems like a long time, no matter how you measure it,” says McKennitt. “Looking back as through a picture frame, one can better see what that period was in its context. I’ve heard from so many people how this recording became a kind of soundtrack for their lives around the time it was released in the early 1990s.”
The Visit: The Definitive Edition is available in two formats. There is a deluxe limited-edition, hardback book format containing four CDs and one audio Blu-ray disc, a 32-page illustrated booklet and hours of previously unreleased content including the first-ever surround sound mixes of McKennitt’s music. Additionally, there is a 15-track highlights edition available exclusively from streaming and download services, featuring the original album and six classic songs from The Visit performed live in concert and on the radio.

The Visit: The Definitive Edition package contains five discs (4 Compact Discs and 1 Blu-Ray) including five hours of previously unreleased content. In addition, The Visit is the first ever Loreena McKennitt recording to be mixed in Surround Sound inc Dolby Atmos. Available in a deluxe, limited edition, DVD-sized and book-shaped box set containing a 32-page booklet including previously unseen photographs and a four part essay, written by Loreena, discussing the recording of The Visit and other aspects of its 30-year legacy. Features 19 previously-unreleased live performances including a 1992 solo radio session, 2016 trio tour recordings and a 1992 CBC Radio in-concert broadcast.
