Loreena McKennitt - Live In Madrid 2024 - The Mask and Mirror 30th Anniversary Tour (2025/2026) [Digital Download 24/48]

Recorded live in Spain during Loreena McKennitt’s summer 2024 tour of Europe, Live in Madrid is an audio vérité soundboard recording of a complete 20-song show from that tour, captured in stereo directly from the mixing desk located in the venue front-of-house. Other than the mastering and editing work needed in order for us to offer the listeners an optimum listening experience, this album comes as close as you can get to the live performance as it sounded at the “Noches del Botánico” festival on that balmy Mediterranean night.

Live In Madrid contains the entirety of 1994’s The Mask and Mirror performed in sequence, plus over an hour of fan favourites drawn from across the range of Loreena’s catalogue of studio recordings.

Loreena is accompanied on stage by her band including long-standing fellow-travellers Brian Hughes (guitars), Caroline Lavelle (cello) and Hugh Marsh (violin), with Dudley Philips (bass) and Robert Brian (drums and percussion). They are joined on five songs by honoured Spanish guest artists Daniel Casares (flamenco guitar) and Ana Alcaide (nykelharpa).
