The American Tenors [DVD]

Amazon.com This is a tasty morsel to appease, at least momentarily, the world's apparently insatiable hunger for tenor voices. Those who wish Plácido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti, José Carreras, and Andrea Boccelli could sing American light classical tunes without an accent will here find their wishes fulfilled. In this material, Nathan Granner, Daniel Montenegro, and Mauricio O'Reilly are closer to Broadway than the Metropolitan Opera, but they have good voices and the material is carefully chosen to display their strengths. It covers a lot of territory left untouched by the "three tenors," mostly from musical theater (for example, "Luck Be a Lady," "If I Loved You," "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," and a West Side Story medley) but also from folk song ("Shenandoah," "Amazing Grace"), Stephen Foster ("Oh! Susannah," "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair"). No tenor recording would be complete without Neapolitan popular songs, and this one has "Funiculi, Funicula," "O Sole Mio," and "Torna a Sorriento." Most of the songs are trio arrangements, but each singer gets a chance at the solo spotlight and a little autobiography. --Joe McLellan From the Back Cover A dynamic new trio of promising young American tenors make their live concert debut on The American Tenors.
