I have to admit that I had concerns about buying this disc. But it has surpassed my expectations. It is not as sentimental as so many of these interpretations are, and Bryn Terfel's singing is excellent. The duets provide appropriate and beautiful diversifications. I think 'Danny Boy' may have worked better as a solo, but it is still a great duet which works well. I say this as someone who also loves 'Led Zeppelin' 'The Who' 'Beethoven' and 'Wagner'. Whether that adds anything to my opinion I know not; but this disc is worth buying if you enjoy listening to a darn good song, sung by a master, and supported by a great cast.

Very enjoyable except for "Danny Boy" which, with Keating, I thought was dire.
The female duetists were an asset.

I don't like track 5 because of the singing? of Ronan Keating. This boy first should learn how to sing. So I can't really understand why such a good singer like Bryn Terfel sung a duet with him.
All other titles are really worthful to listen to. Simply excellent.

Completely ridiculous.
It's allways the same big problem: you cannot sing folk songs with a professional operatic voice, created to overwhelm an audience of 2500 or more on a big stage... Read more
