John McCormack

John McCormack was a world-famous Irish tenor.

To many people the highlight of McCormack's Irish career was his singing of César Franck's Panis Angelicus to the thousands who thronged Dublin's Phoenix Park for the 1932 Eucharistic Congress.

His version of "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" is the most played version for this song.

The History of the Opera - Great Operatic Examples in this Audio Book

This absorbing history is illustrated by over 100 musical examples.

From its beginnings in the 16th century, through to today when there are as many musical styles as there are composers, opera has fascinated, infuriated, delighted, been censored, been banned, excited riots, even won a nation its freedom.

Opera, said Moliere, is the most expensive noise known to man.

Here is the colourful story of sometimes temperamental composers and even more temperamental singers working in an art form which has produced some of man's noblest artistic creations.

This absorbing history is illustrated by over 100 musical examples by Naxos artistes as well as some of the greatest singers of the 20th century including Enrico Caruso and Fyodor Chaliapin.

Come Back to Erin - John McCormack

Contains the song "It's a Long Way to Tipperary"

This CD offers a selection of Irish songs John McCormack recorded between the years 1910 and 1921. Don't expect the John McCormack aged 25 in 1910 to have the interpretative skills evident in his later years, but the voice was already compelling in its unique nasal tenor quality, and recording processes of the time captured it well.
