Editorial Product Review: :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. Throughout this studio recording, the Irish Tenors are in fine form and backed by a soft-hued ...
Editorial Product Review: :In a career that's veered from '70s pop chanteuse to Broadway star and neo-operatic diva, Sarah Brightman has brought a critics-be-damned sense of dramatic scale to nearly every project she's tackled. As the title suggests, the tracks here are largely culled from her Songs That Got Away and Surrender song anthologies, although they do include four previously unreleased outtakes from those collections. Her 1998 recording of the title song from ex-husband Andrew Lloyd Webber's Whistle Down the Wind succeeds by emphasizing its melodic grace with a deft, airy touch, while the remainder ...

Editorial Product Review: :While Finian's Rainbow's plot of racial injustice and heroic tobacco sharecroppers may be dated (never more so than as presented in Francis Ford Coppola's bloated 1968 film), Burton Lane and Yip Harburg's score is still a pot of gold. Finian McLonergan (Albert Sharpe) is an elderly Irishman who has traveled to America in hopes of planting some pilfered gold near Fort Knox and watching it grow. As his daughter, Ella Logan (who was actually Scottish) earns her top billing with charming renditions of 'How Are Things in Glocca Morra?' and 'Look to ...

Small and light enough for a shirt pocket, Samsung's Helix YX-M1 is a one-stop audio entertainment center with an XM radio, a digital music player, and room for 50 hours of tunes, but it comes up short on battery life.
