American audiences probably - and unfortunately - didn't get their intro to Irish singer Daniel O'Donnell until Public Television aired his 2003 concert of this two-disc, 24-song collection. And what a debt we owe PBS. A truly phenomenal singer, O'Donnell has blessed just about every field of music - pop, rock, country, inspirational - with an incredible punch. This collection is an interdenominational collection of inspirational music that O'Donnell treated a packed audience in a live show in his native country. There's little, if anything, that O'Donnell can't do to his selected songs in this jewel of a CD - from standards like "Nearer My God to Thee," "I Saw the Light," "Sweet Queen of Peace" and "Let There Be Peace" to crossover inspirational pop hits like "Wind Beneath My Wings," "Put Your Hand in the Hand" and "One Day at a Time." As an Irish Catholic, O'Donnell unleashes one of the most inspirational versions of "Make Me a Channel of Your Peace" (The Prayer of St. Francis). As if he needed it, O'Donnell has terrific backup from a gifted group of singers and musicians. In particular, Irish singer Mary Duff joins O'Donnell in "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" and goes solo in an upbeat rendition of "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" and which gets the audience stirred up enough to join in. O'Donnell does the Irish proud, and if the United Nations ever needs an Irish ambassador to the world, it ought to check out O'Donnell. For us in the audience, though, O'Donnell gives us the treat of an incredible range of talent and entertainment, and this collection in particular has little - if anything - to criticize. An amazing, wonderful talent!

I bought this for my mother who feels that it is amazing. When asked its ranking on a scale of 1-5, she said TEN! She said that it was 'just lovely' and that she would like to have all of his cds.

The first time I heard Daniel O'Donnell was on PBS. I will never forget it because I ususally never stop on that particular channel. But there is something about his voice - and his stage presence - and the songs he was singing that made him unforgettable to me.

This is a magnificent collection of inspirational songs that Daniel O'Donnel has sung so beautifully. "You Raise Me Up", "Surely The Presence of the Lord", "Here I Am Lord", are my mentionable favorites.

A+

This transaction went smoothly and the product was in perfect shape.

I DO WISH I HAD KNOWN THIS WAS JUST A TAPING OF A LIVE PROGRAM. I WAS EXPECTING JUST DANIEL'S MUSIC, NOT TALKING AND CLAPPING BETWEEN PIECES.

Love the CD, Daniel reches into your soul with his voice.
ALL the songs are great. I have bought all his CD's I love this one so much

The songs of faith is very healing and calming. I would recomend this to everyone. It is also very strengthing.

The song's listed on the label were not correct. The only reason I bought this CD was for one song only,"Sweet Victory" and it wasn't on there. Beware if you order for this reason. There is two disk in this cd but both of them are number 2, there is no number 1.Very disapointed.

My first experience as an Amazon customer was very positive. I received the Daniel O'Donnell tape promptly and in time to present to a friend as a birthday gift. The process of ordering through Amazon was easy, and I do plan to utilize this method of shopping more in the future.

I enjoy this album very much. I love Daniel's gentle singing, and the beautiful songs on this CD. I have heard him on Public TV, and I wanted one of his albums. It is a live performance, which makes it more exciting. The songs strengthen my faith. I wish I could hear what he says better, but I will have to try it in the big stereo.
