5.0 out of 5 stars Irish Eyes Are Smiling (and others' too!), December 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Irish Tenors [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video was a startling surprise with its Irish songs sung by three tenors who had recently met and whose styles are so different! Yet, their voices and personalities blended smoothly into a heartwarming performance, backed up by full orchestral harmonies. It was evident they appreciated the music and each other. I'll be watching it many times when I want a lift for the soul, and sending it to others for a little bit of Christmas joy.

This review is from: The Irish Tenors [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Where do I start? I first watched this on a PBS fundraiser, and I had to have it! With voices from John Mcdermott, Ronan Tynan, and Anthony Kearns you can't go wrong. When John Mcdermott sings "Danny Boy" it brings goosebumps! You can just see a mother giving her son her blessings to go to America, yet knowing the next time they meet she will probably be in the grave. When John sings "The Old Man", WOW! The song is about John missing his own deceased father. After listening to the song, I immediately turned around and told my daddy I loved him. It really makes you appreciate your father even more. Anthony Kearns is schooled in opera, and his voice proves it. His voice is powerful, and beautiful. When he sung "Grace", I was literally brought to tears. "Grace" is about a soldier, who is about to be executed in the morning, saying good-bye to his wife (who he just married). It is powerful! Ronan Tynan has a voice, that I am sure, can shatter glass. His voice is strong yet beautifully controlled. I encourage viewers to research his biography--it is very heart lifting. When he sings "Town I Love So Well", you can just visualize the land, and fall in love with it yourself! When the trio comes together and sing, it is an experience of a lifetime. "Danny Boy", when sang by all of them, is heavenly. A refreshingly fun song, "Spanish Lady", lets the trio have fun, and interact with each other. I highly recommend this video. After going thru a rollercoaster ride of emotions, I cannot sing enough praises (because I can't carry a tune in a bucket)! It is simply out of this world!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unexpected Delight, December 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Irish Tenors [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am one of those people who never gave much thought to Irish music. Moreover, I usually don't like those prepacked three tenors things, as they get old quickly. My husband, who is Irish-American, had seen the video on PBS, and thought it was wonderful. We watched it together last week, and I was blown away by the beauty of the voices, the music, and the three charismatic singers. I had tears in my eyes by the finish. If you don't think you'd like an evening of Irish music and would just as soon pass this one by, think again.
