Been listening to a lot of Sissel Kyrkjebø‘s stuff lately and to be honest I really like the quality of her voice. I also read that she toured with The Chieftains so it’s no wonder that she has been embraced profusely by the Celtic world.She also toured with Howard Shore on his Fellowship of the Ring tour.To be honest I have never forgiven Mr Shore for his poor reception of Enya on the soundtrack recording.

I have read most of the interviews and I could say it is easy to read between the lines.It’s obvious  that he was not please being on the same project as her.It is OK not to like Enya. I mean all of us have our preferences. But to treat your fellow artist like that is just pure insult, not to mention bad taste .Mr Shore is not a gentleman.Though he worked with  many film directors, it’s still a fact that he’s  an A-hole.

Maybe it’s difficult to have an artist on the same project that eclipses even your popularity. Consider this: Enya has sold more than 75 million records and she is not some puppet singer you can just write tunes to and expect she’ll wail for it. No no no, she is a composer at par with  the greatest composers who ever lived.So it must have been a blow to his wimpy male ego to take all these things. Poor Howard. You might be talented but you are no better than the a-holes out there.
