Home for Christmas--A Masterpiece, May 27, 2000
This review is from: THE IRISH TENORS: Home for Christmas (Audio CD)
Like millions of others I discovered the Irish Tenors through PBS. I promptly began looking for anything else by these wonderful performers and found this Cd. The music is soul-satisfying as the Christmas music is all sacred (the closest to secular is "Good King Wenceslas"). The arrangements are in turn glorious, tender, and sweet. "Suo Gan" by McDermott, ''Sweet Little Jesus Boy" and "The Wexford Carol" by Kearns are highlights. Of the ensemble pieces, "Silent Night" and "Joy to the World" stand out. But the crowning selection is "The Holy City." We are wearing the album out and it's only May. We'll have to have another copy for Christmas!

The Irish Tenors, Home for Christmas, December 7, 1999
This review is from: THE IRISH TENORS: Home for Christmas (Audio CD)
This is a powerful album, the best new Christmas CD I've heard in a long while. The songs are traditional, But performed and recorded with a sensitivity and emotion I have not heard in years. I played it three times the first night I brought it home!

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO WORDS................., October 19, 1999

This review is from: THE IRISH TENORS: Home for Christmas (Audio CD)
to describe this wonderful CD. I suspected I, too, had Tenoritis with their first CD, but now I KNOW I have it. This CD is absolutely spectacular - three voices so beautiful, they truly do bring tears to my eyes. My favorite, however, is Anthony Kearns. He is an outstanding talent. His rendition of Ave Maria and Sweet Little Jesus Boy are next to perfection. The group singing O Holy Night is awesome and truly breathtaking. Every song, solo or in group just puts you in another world. I could just go on and on and on....I, too, cannot be objective where these three gents are concerned. Hope they do another concert video soon - very soon. Buy this CD- for sure, you won't be disappointed! You'll want to play it all year through, just not Christmas time.
