By Patricia L. Grove on July 6, 2005
Format: Audio CD
On both of Daniel Rodriguez's previous CD's, he has included a song of faith such as "The Lord's Prayer" or "I'll Walk With God." This time around, he devotes his entire "In the Presence" CD to the spiritual side of life. While God might be the central theme, Rodriguez uses a variety of styles and techniques to show his faith, and there are many standouts.

"Joyful Joyful" (aka "Ode to Joy") is an all-out wind sprint from first note to the last. To make it all the way through without gasping for breath at this tempo is athletic indeed. Plus he manages to finish on a very strong note as well.

At first thought Irish pop tune "Bright Blue Rose" seems a bit out of a place on an inspirational CD, but Rodriguez's soothing higher register gives it a very earthy feel.

Although it's from the movie "East of Eden," " An American Hymn" has not been overdone to death like many songs. Rodriguez's mentor Placido Domingo recorded it on his 1981 "Perhaps Love" album. While beautiful, Domingo's diction made the lyrics hard to understand. Rodriguez's rendition makes the lyrics of American beauty and faith ring like a champagne glass.

"Amazing Grace" has a most unusual arrangement, one of the late Johnnie Carl's last works. Beginning acapella (as Rodriguez sang it at the Republican National Convention last summer) the music eventually slides into "Bolero."

But he absolutely saved the best for last, with another Carl arrangement, "How Great Thou Art." Like "Joyful, Joyful" this is pure power from beginning to end. Originally sung at the Crystal Cathedral a few years back, certainly the rafters are still shaking.

If you enjoyed either of the first two CD's, or spiritual music in general, you'll enjoy this one.

The man pours his heart and soul into twelve soaring songs of inspiration and I am the one left breathless and with a lump in my throat. This album is a blessing. One may as well call "An American Hymn" Daniel Rodriguez's Hymn. The lyrics say it all about this man, the true American tenor, who has traveled through America and beyond sharing his gift. He is truly at home on stage.

"I've seen the silver mountain tops

And golden prairies on my way

Now everywhere I go across the land

I stand so proudly in the sun and say

I am home

I've dreamed of eden all my life

I find it more and more each day

Now everywhere I go across the land

I stand so proudly in the sun and say

I am home "

I have dreamt of a musical eden all my life and I have found it in Daniel Rodriguez.

Daniel Rodriguez is a welcome addition to the world of opera singing. He's got a great voice and sings really well -- and while I think he could use some more work on enunciating English words, he's definitely more understandable than his colleagues in this genre. I particularly love his version of 'The Water is Wide' and 'Pie Jesu,' the latter song performed as a duet with Miss Saigon star Lea Salonga ("WOW!" is all I can say about her performance). Other notable numbers are An American Hymn (that hauntingly beautiful song from the movie East of Eden) 'How Great Thou Art,' and his other duet with Ms. Salonga, 'Panis Angelicus.'

I intend to buy more copies and give them as gifts to friends.

The music of Daniel Rodriguez on his CD "In The Presence" is so moving and inspirational that I listen to it all the time -- at home and in my car. His voice sends chills through me and he seems to have made peace with 9/ll through his music. Thanks, Daniel for giving us hope.

This is probably my favorite album thus far. His vocal skills have continued to improve. His fine tenor voice and heartfelt emotion make a stirring combination. The two duets with Lea Salonga are outstanding. Full of beautiful music!

I loved the choices of the songs on CD. They have been beautifully interpreted by Mr. Rodriguez. He breaths new life to these songs. I recommend this wonderful CD.

This new CD of Daniel Rodriquez's is simply awe-inspiring. I have seen Daniel sing many times, including multiple appearances at the Crystal Cathedral. His new CD puts one in the mood to be loving and kind each and every day to all people. It is an inspiartion to us all.

I am haunted by the melodies on this CD. Some I had never heard before and others are dear old favorites. You must add this one to your collection and have one for the house and one for the car.

Bravo Daniel Rodriquez for another best selling CD. By the way, "In the Presence" has already hit the charts. Daniel, you have again proven that you are America's Favorite Tenor.
