Ellis Island

CD-Charts > Music > Vocal Non-Opera
by: The Irish Tenors, Brendan Graham, Chauncey Olcott, Irish Traditional, Johnny Cash, John Francis Patterson, Dermot MacMurrough, C. Kirkham, Eric Bogle, Burton Lane, Thomas Osbourne Davis, Irving Berlin, Frank McNamara

Release Date March 06, 2001
A glorious concert in a historic setting, with all involved in top notch form. Finbar finds a great old Johnny Cash number, Ronan sings a Glocka
Mora to end all, and Anthony Kearns sings murderously difficult versions
of Macushla and The Croppy Boy like an angel. And their Courtin' and Irish
Medleys, and their "Nation Once Again" trios are simply glorious glees.

With the benefit of a grand theme, this is perhaps the best, and best balanced, of all their programs.

We are using this series of CDs in our homeschool music program - they are fantastic! We especially love this one about Bach - what an awesome man!

Since there are many collections of chants, there are differing conventions, some ... Read More:
