What truly makes this DVD special is the very unique blend of the contemporary/pop music quartet members Clifton Murray and Fraser Walters with the more dramatic and formal classical sounds of Victor Micallef and Remigio Pereira. Within the DVD are songs that will appeal to both styles with individual solos and full quartet arrangements that are exceptionally well written, presented and sure to enlighten your ears.

David Foster makes a guest appearance (well known producer linked to current artists Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Celine Dion, Michael Bublé and Cherise Pempengco). This brilliant work is one DVD you will truly enjoy.

The Canadian Tenors are so wonderful and I've had the opportunity to see them perform live. This DVD really captures the magic and with the full orchestra, it really is amazing! If you haven't seen them, you'll love this and if you have, you will love this!

I saw them live and just had to have their cd. When this DVD came out I was so excited to order it. I pre-ordered 3 of them ( 2 for friends who also love them). I love the DVD. There is a good song selection, also David Foster and Sarah McLachlan. This DVD is worth the money!

These artists have amazing talent. I lost my daughter, age 43, to cancer about 18 months ago. I have to admit I had pretty much lost my "faith" and was extremely angry that God would take her. With much support from minister and friends I tried to heal.

When I heard these amazing tenors (thanks to my niece who sent me the DVD) I noticed a line in the song "Home I'll Be" which states "Never let the hard times take away your soul", and I thought about that A LOT. Of course the song "Always There" provided further thought and, thus, further healing, because it explains situations where we are "down" and You are always there.

I now have renewed hope for return to normalcy a lot in part to these fantastic singers. (I am so glad they enunciate so we can understand their words.) Four entirely different types of voices, but they blend so well. Hope there will be more DVDs to come.

My wife and I, we're seniors, absolutely love the Canadian Tenors! They are outstanding performers, and while each has a unique and powerful tenor voice they harmonize beautifully. We bought this DVD for ourselves (plus the CD we play in the car) and a DVD for our youngest grandson (he's 16 and he loves it too). We are planning to attend a concert here in Oregon later this year.

After many years of "copy-cats" following the orginal three tenors, we have something new and original. The quality of the singing is very good but they shine at their presentation of each song. Four cheers for The Canadian Tenors!

This concert is AMAZING on so many levels:

1) The voices! Just gorgeous voices. Each has a solo song, and the group sings the rest. MANY cold chills during their performances. This group is really great at being loud and voluminous when needed, and soft and emotive when needed. In my opinion, this differentiates them from Il Divo, who in my opinion have similar vocal talent but they don't emote as well and songs often come across as simply bombastic. This is not the case with the Canadian Tenors!
2) The Musicianship! Great band and orchestra! I really loved the songs with the accoustic guitar.
3) Variety of song selection! Such a great selection of songs. The Canadian folk song was one of my favorites. Songs in Italian, French (I love BELLE), Spanish, English, etc.
4) We get to see the fun personalities of the singers. They are comfortable on stage and present themselves with a humility that is refreshing. They are both professional and personable.

The DVD, however, is not perfect. During some songs, the sound seems a bit muffled, as if the microphones needed to be turned up or the orchestra needed to play softer. This is not a big enough problem to subtract a star from my rating. This is a 5-star group and performance!

This is one of the best concert DVDs I've seen. They're wonderful singers of course, but they are also excellent performers and musicians which gives this DVD high marks for entertainment value. Good variety of song selections and styles, with each member of the group featured along the way. Worth every penny!

Clearly one of the most down to earth and incredibly talented group of singers in the world. I especially enjoyed the DVD as it shows both the individual and group talent of these great singers.

I AM AN AVID IL DIVO FAN BUT.......THESE FOUR GENTLEMEN HAVE GREAT TALENTS AND ARE VERY PERSONABLE - LOVE THE DVD AND THEIR FIRST CD - GRADE A++
