In the short time since they grouped together a few years ago to form their sensationally successful trio, the Irish Tenors have already put out an impressive array of recordings and DVDs, including some bona fide gooseflesh-inducing live concert performances. So, if you still have the enviable pleasure of discovering these amazing vocalists--or want to turn a friend on to their musical charms--this compilation CD will do the trick nicely. It brings together such classics as "Danny Boy," "Toora Loora Looral," "Last Rose of Summer," and "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" (featuring John McDermott)--all rendered with the kind of passionate, heartfelt, and harmonious crooning that is their signature style, whether they're singing as an ensemble or as highlighted soloists. And even if you have the complete Irish Tenors, this anthology includes several numbers not found on their previously released CDs. Hard to think of a sweeter treat for a fan of singing too good to ever go out of fashion. --Sarah Chin

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the very BEST!!!!!, January 14, 2003

By	Joan Way (Toronto Ont. Canada) - See all my reviews

This has to be my very favorite CD of all time. As I have everything else The Irish Tenors have recorded, I just love this one because it's got all my favorites from all the CDs.
I especially can't get enough of Finbar's MAGGIE, and this has to be the VERY BEST version of DANNY BOY. I think Amazing Grace is one of the best songs that they have done with John McDermott. And the closest one can get to hearing angels sing is when one listens to Nearer My God To Thee. Their voices are all pure joy to listen to. And of course, all the fun numbers they do together is just a thrill. This CD has it all!!!!
This is one CD which I listen to even while I sleep.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the best, August 30, 2002

By	martha lenoir (Salt Lake City, UT United States) - See all my reviews

This was great. There are some songs on here that are not available on the other CDs, so it was really nice to have those and this includes a song book as well. The only problem was that the lads have done so many great renditions of various songs, that it would be impossible to get them all on one cd! But the editors chose well. Even though I have the other 3 albums, this one was a welcome addition.
