Ellis Island The Irish Tenors.
The Irish Tenors' fourth album sees the trio of Anthony Kearns, Ronan Tynan, and Finbar Wright
paying a sentimental musical tribute to Ellis Island, the hallowed landmark that met the majority of
immigrants entering the United States at the beginning of the 20th century. Needless to say, the
Tenors' repertoire this time around is full of reflective ballads of love, loss, and homesickness,
including the original "Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears" that opens this disc.

Riverdance On Broadway Bill Whelan. Release Date, May 2, 2000.There have been moments when it seemed every shopping mall in the Western world had succumbed to Riverdance, when every speaker and video monitor in every store and public square was pulsing with the rhythmic Celtic beat of a score of vibrant young hoofers tapping fervently to fiddle and tin-whistle. The phenomenon has now gone Broadway, and composer Bill Whelan--who's done for his native Irish folk music what Freddie Mercury and Queen did for Italian opera--has raised the musical stakes considerably. Whelan's familiar, amped-up take on the Chieftains is supplemented here by harmonically brave a cappella refrains and even the fusion-minded use of Spanish guitar and flamenco rhythms. Whelan has written six new songs for this production.
