"Heritage" (03/16/2004) Pop Vocal Irish Tenors (The), Razor & Tie MusicThe Irish Tenors: Anthony Kearns, Ronan Tynan, Finbar Wright. Additional personnel: Arnie Roth (conductor); The London Symphony Orchestra. Recorded at LSO St. Luke's Centre, London, England. The Irish Tenors once again prove that interpreting the classics of the Emerald Isle's rich musical repertoire is handled best by homegrown talent. Anthony Kearns, Ronan Tynan, and Finbar Wright are steeped in the traditions of Irish balladry, and HERITAGE demonstrates that they rank among the foremost exponents in the field. Each is an accomplished singer in his own right, but when they join their voices together, they breathe new life into familiar tunes such as "Fields of Athenry," "Whiskey in the Jar," and "The Parting Glass." They even manage to make the ubiquitous war-horse "Danny Boy" sound fresh and vibrant. In addition to celebrating Ireland's own timeless songs, the album explores the island's influence on music beyond its shores. Fine examples of this include "Red Is the Rose," "I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen," and even "South of the Border," the inclusion of which may seem out of place, but not when considering that its composer, Jimmy Kennedy, is a native son of County Tyrone. Following in the footsteps of John McCormack and Frank Patterson, the Irish Tenors take obvious pride in their role as Ireland's musical ambassadors.

"Ellis Island" (03/06/2001) Pop Vocal Irish Tenors (The), Matrix Music MarketingThe Irish Tenors: Anthony Kearns, Ronan Tynan, Finbar Wright. Recorded at Windmill Lane Recording Studios, Dublin, Ireland. This collection of Irish favorites old and new will be sure to find a place in the hearts both of expatriates and those whose Irish lineage may be a little more open to question. The Tenors, here accompanied by a considerable orchestra and choir, consolidate their reputation for classy renditions of timeless classics with selections such as "Forty Shades of Green," "Macushla," and, of course, "Danny Boy." They also pay tribute to the place that so many expatriate Irish men and women call home with "God Bless America," which is a fitting finale to this unabashedly sentimental album. Though unarguably not as authentic in its settings of Irish music as, say, the Chieftains' albums, ELLIS ISLAND undoubtedly captures the spirit of Irish exiles all across their adopted homeland. After the events of Sept. 11th, and the six-month anniversary of that tragedy, an album based on Ellis Island seemed all the more poignant (especially since more than a few of the firefighters who lost their lives in the tragedy were of Irish descent). Consequently, in the days following the tribute marking the aforementioned anniversary, ELLIS ISLAND quite rightly found itself in the Top 200 album charts. Think of it as a celebration of freedom.

"The Irish Tenors" (10/26/1999) Pop Vocal Irish Tenors (The), Master Tone RecordsThe Irish Tenors: John McDermott/Anthony Kearns/Ronan Tynan. Personnel includes: John McDermott, Anthony Kearns, Ronan Tynan (vocals); Frank McNamara (arranger, conductor). Recorded live at the Royal Dublin Society Main Hall, Dublin, Ireland. Following closely and confidently in the footsteps of the stupendously popular THREE TENORS release--on which Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, and Jose Carreras turned their classically trained talents to popular song--THE IRISH TENORS employs the same formula with surprisingly fresh results. John McDermott, Anthony Kearns, and Ronan Tynan are three of Ireland's most accomplished interpreters of national vocal music. They give passionate readings of such age-old folk songs as "Minstrel Boy," "Will Ye Go, Lassie, Go?," and "The Town I Loved So Well." Also included are songs nearly everyone will recognize, including "Toora-Loora-Loora," "Danny Boy," and "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling." But those completely unfamiliar with the rich musical traditions of the Emerald Isle are in for a wonderful discovery in these superb renditions. The disc is recorded live in Dublin with a powerhouse 60-piece orchestra. McDermott, Kearns, and Tynan each sing several songs solo and also perform as a trio, lending their alternately tender and powerful vocal treatments to these timeless Irish classics.
