Christmas

Always the Best
I always enjoy hearing the Three Tenors and this CD is very much up to the standards I have come to expect.

incredibly wonderful--BRAVO FOR THE IRISH TENORS !!!
The Irish Tenors put out a grand album of wonderful holiday music! Finbar Wright, Anthony Kearns and Karl Scully are all in superb form throughout the album; and that's wonderful. This album is destined to become a classic; it's all that enjoyable! The quality of the sound is excellent and the artwork is very nicely done. The album begins with a wonderful rendition of "Hark The Herald Angels Sing." The lush musical arrangement is stately and beautiful at once; and The Irish Tenors never miss a beat! They harmonize to perfection and it all makes "Hark The Herald Angels Sing" a very special number. The trio then performs "Go Tell It on the Mountain" and it's terrific to hear them perform this--they never let go of a superfluous note and their excellent diction enhances their singing all the more. The medley of "Rockin' Round the Christmas Tree" and "Jingle Bell Rock" is thrown in for some fun and it all holds its own very well--the child in all of us is sure to love this number! I wouldn't have thought of combining "Sleigh Ride" and "Feliz Navidad" to make another medley; but it works and that's amazing. Other secular songs include "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" and "I'll Be Home for Christmas" which features Karl Scully in the spotlight. Karl's solo performance of "I'll Be Home for Christmas" moves me with its beauty; and I doubt I'll ever tire of listening to him sing this. "Silent Night" gets a very sensitive treatment and I really like their rendition of "O Holy Night." Another religious song is "Mary Did You Know;" Finbar Wright does this with panache and I won't forget it anytime soon! Overall, The Irish Tenors raised the bar for a fine Christmas album--and then they raised it some more! Their work just on this album alone more than proves they have incredible skill and talent; and if we're lucky they'll release more albums and perform together for many years to come.

The Irish Tenors Christmas
We love the "Mary Did you Know" track, but other than that, don't like this CD very much. Too stilted and stuffy.

The Irish Tenors - Wow! What voices!
The Irish Tenors Christmas Though I've been a fan of The Irish Tenors for quite a few years, this particular album outdid many of the titles I had already purchased. The rendition of "Go Tell it on a Mountain" is outstanding! In fact, the entire album is stellar. For those who may not be familiar with The Irish Tenors, be aware that not all "Irish Tenors" are THE Irish Tenors. Anthony Kearns, Karl Scully and Finbar Wright are the team who make up The Irish Tenors, and are not to be confused with similar-sounding names. These men are truly musically gifted, and do individual solo concerts as well as their collective concerts. Don't miss out on this one. It's a keeper!

Wonderful music!
This cd is wonderful. The artist rendition of some of my favorite Christmas music is refreshing and respectful to the original traditional music.
