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.

My wife and I attended the Irish Tenors concert in Ft Worth, Texas last night,February 27,2003, where we purchased this CD.A number of the selections they sang last night are included in this CD which is a "must purchase" for all fans of these magnificent singers. Buy this CD and you will thank yourself for years to come for your wise decision.

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.

I would recommend this to everyone! It has all four irish tenors, and it has a mixture of different songs from all their CD's! The only problem, in my opinion at least, is why do they have "Molly Malone" on it? There certainly are much more appreciated songs than that, and it certainly isn't one of their best. I wish they had "Red Is The Rose" with Finbar Wright singing in it instead of John Mcdermott for once. Maybe they'll have that on their next album they're working on! Can't Wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Ah-em... you can tell I'm enthusiastic...)

This recording is wonderful. Ronan's "last Rose of summer" is unique, the Percy French medley shows all three in great voice, Finbar's Maggie is wonderful and the laurels have to go to Anthony for his magnificent rendition of "She moved through the fair", wow!!!!

Well worth buying.

What a fun CD! And frankly, I love "Molly Malone"! I do wish they'd do less unison singing and get into more harmony. And too many ballads for my taste, but the uptunes are good for playing over and over! Their voices are all gorgeous. You'll enjoy this one for certain!

This is my first CD of the Irish Tenors. And what a joy! I played it as soon as it arrived. I like the blend of their voices,the passion and enthusiasm they bring to this CD. What I find is a real treat is the words to all the songs are in the booklet.I love this CD.

I suggest a box of Kleenex for each person in the room when you play this CD or VHS recording. Mom won't let me play it anymore because she...well, you know what I mean.

I like any kind of music, but I especially like to hear tenors sing. I was somewhat disappointed, though, because this seems not to be made in the recording studio but at a concert because some of the songs have clapping at the end. I wish I had read that when I looked it up. I prefer studio recordings. I was very disappointed with the recording of my favorite song of all time "Danny Boy", but all in all the CD is not bad. Most likely when I listen to it several more times it will grow on me like it is already starting to do.

This album is really the number two album from this trio. It is very good and well worth the investment. The five star album by The Irish Tenors would have to be Heritage. Both albums rate high in my book.
