Editorial Review: From Amazon.com: Forty years after the Clancy Brothers found popularity singing traditional Irish folksongs to an American audience, along comes the Irish Tenors, the trio of John McDermott, Anthony Kearns, and Ronan Tynan. Backed by plenty of coverage on public television, the three tenors perform a soothing and nostalgic mix of Emerald Isle tunes--from "Danny Boy" to "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling," along with a few surprises. Recorded live at the Royal Dublin Society Main Hall with a light orchestra, the album gives each of the three vocalists his chance in the spotlight. Fans of John McDermott should be sure to seek out the artist's solo discs such as Remembrance, which are far more intimate (and musically diverse) fare. --Jason Verlinde Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - There are not enough stars to rate this CDFor those of us who love to curl up on the couch and listen to truly beautiful music, this is one CD you won't regret buying. With a "light orchestra", these talented men managed to turn out some of the most gorgeous and lush music I have ever heard. It must be said, however, if music brings out your emotions, have a box of tissues close by. Anthony Kearns singing "Grace" will send you reaching for them, as will Ronan Tynan's "The Town I Loved So Well". Let's talk about John McDermott. He's not Irish (He is a Scot). But the most heart rending "Danny Boy" I have never heard before. "Voyage" was so beautiful, it made me sob. Now that we have established I am a hopeless sap, please trust me ...

Bing Crosby and John McCormick have been succeeded by the Irish Tenors. This CD is an enchanting blend of the very traditional Irish-American songs, such as "Danny Boy" and "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling", some traditional Irish songs, such as "Will you Go Lassie?" and "Spanish Lady" and a few with which I had been unfamiliar, including "Eileen Og" and "Boolavogue". The singing is excellent, the words understandable. I appreciate the inclusion of the lyrics of the songs contained on the insert of the cover. These are songs you will want to learn, whose stories you will want to research. I have. Listen again and again!

Rating: - Lively, stirring, moving musicThis is without a doubt one of my favorite cds. I think John McDermott has one of the best voices out there today. Period. His voice gives me chills. Grace by Anthony Kearns is a powerful song - the best on the cd. I highly recommend this cd to anyone who appreciates a good voice (or three good voices) and good music - Irish music fan or not! Rating: - Anthony Kearns has dethroned Domingo as my favorite tenor.The Irish Tenors have entwined themselves in my mind so adeptly that I hear them as I fall asleep and as I wake. The four of them have serenaded me through a most emotional and painful holiday season. The incredible voice of Anthony Kearns is beyond any adequate written description. One must hear his voice to experience the true depth of emotion and the breathtaking purity of this unequalled voice. Ronan Tynan's performance of "The Town I Loved So Well" captured my heart and reinspired my patriotism. Anthony's "Boolavogue," "Grace," and "Eileen Og" were exquisite. John McDermott's "Voyage" and "The Old Man" brought me to tears as I fondly remembered my parents' influence on my life. ... Read More: |
