Movie Reviews of The Irish Tenors - Ellis Island

Movie Review: Music & Song of Emigrants through Ellis Esland
Summary: 5 Stars

As a child I listened to stories of emigrants who arrived at Ellisland. Leaving homeland, family and friends maybe never to see them again. Sometimes they lost touch with their families fo make it easier for them to settle in this beautiful large country. A lot of songs were written about it. The lyrics came across as haunting and beautiful. You could feel the lonliness of those people some only 14 years. It is a wonderful Tribute to Ellis Island.

Summary of The Irish Tenors - Ellis Island

Recorded in the magnificent, soaring Registration Hall on Ellis Island, this landmark performance by the Irish Tenors captures in music the emotionally-charged atmosphere of this hallowed ground of U.S. Immigration. From "Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears" - the heart rending story of 15 year old Annie Moore, the first immigrant to set foot on Ellis Island - to the resounding choruses of "God Bless America" and "A Nation Once Again", the concert is a historic treasure. Irish Tenors Anthony Kearns, Ronan Tynan and Finbar Wright deliver the performance of a lifetime.
This is a moving tribute on a surprising subject: the bureaucratic establishment that welcomed 22 million immigrants to the United States between 1892 and 1924. It is beautifully sung by the Irish Tenors, in a concert with orchestra on Ellis Island, with a well-prepared commentary by Martin Sheen on the history of that unique institution and some vintage film clips. It is pleasantly nostalgic throughout and deeply nostalgic for one moment: a panoramic view of New York Harbor on a March 2001 morning; the focus is on the Statue of Liberty, but in the background is a structure that then dominated the New York skyline: the World Trade Center.

The music is well-selected to balance familiar material ("Danny Boy," "My Wild Irish Rose," "Nearer My God to Thee") with appealing rarities, notably "The Green Fields of France" and two memorable Gaelic songs in an "Irish Medley." --Joe McLellan
