Product Description
Recorded live at the RDS in June 2002, the Impossible Dream is a powerful musical journey through the life of the great Irish Tenor Ronan Tynan. With the 51 piece RTE Concert Orchestra and The London Community Gospel Choir, Ronan pays tribute to his beloved family and to those people who have inspired and sustained him throughout his remarkable life. By bravely broadening his repertoire to include inspirational contemporary Irish songs by Brian Kennedy and U2, together with classics by Cole Porter, Stephen Sondheim and Joni Mitchell, Ronan sets himself an enormous task. But as you will see from his towering performance, it is a task that he takes in his stride, as he proves himself to be one of the greatest performers of our time. Special features include the bonus documentary Aftershow, Afterglow; an intimate portrait of Ronan Tynan at home in Kilkenny, just days after his sell-out triumph in The Impossible Dream at Dublins RDS. Songs include The Impossible Dream, Night and Day, My Grandfather's Immigrant Eyes, Isle of Hope Isle of Tears, Oh Happy Day, He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother,What's Another Year, Amazing Grace, When I Look At You, My Irish Molly.
