From his early years in Irish church choirs, he graduated to training in Milan, and gave his first performance at Covent Garden in 1907, returning regularly until 1917. He also became extremely popular at New York's Metropolitan Opera, where he sang until 1918, also becoming an American citizen. He had a highly distinctive voice, and was renowned for his diction and breath control, that enabled him to sing 64 notes in one breath in the aria from Don Giovanni \"Il Mio Tesori\". He turned to recitals rather than grand opera, and, with his sweet tone and marvellous feel for a song, became one of the great balladeers of his time. He recorded prolifically from 1904 through to 1942, not long before his death in 1945, spanning the eras of cylinder, acoustic and electric recording. This great value 120-track 6-CD collection comprises material from his earliest acoustic recordings for Odeon in 1906, through acoustic recordings for HMV and Victor into the 1920s, and then electric recordings for the same labels up to 1942. It encompasses examples of his work across the range of operatic pieces, Irish songs, wartime favourites, and popular songs and ballads, including all the 70 or so titles which featured in the sheet music best-sellers of the era, presented in chronological order.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Boys Of Wexford\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrottin\u0026amp;#39; To The Fair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKillarney\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIl Flor Che Avevi A Me(Flower Song From \u0026amp;#39;carmen\u0026amp;#39;)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUna Furtiva Lagrima (From L\u0026amp;#39;elisir D\u0026amp;#39;amore\u0026amp;#39;)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome Back To Erin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Minstrel Boy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrink To Me Only With Thine Eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnnie Laurie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen Shadows Gather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTu Che A Dio Spiegasti L\u0026amp;#39;ali (From \u0026amp;#39;lucia Di Lammermoor\u0026amp;#39;)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Snowy Breasted Pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Hear You Calling Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBelieve Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI\u0026amp;#39;m Falling In Love With Someone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndiana Moon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMother Machree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMacushla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDel Tempio Al Limitar (In The Depths Of The Temple - Duet From \u0026amp;#39;the Pearl Fishers\u0026amp;#39;)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake, Oh Take Those Lips Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Wearing Of The Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver Threads Among The Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Rosary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThank God For A Garden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff To Philadelphia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere The River Shannon Flows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI\u0026amp;#39;ll Sing Thee Songs Of Araby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMolly Brannigan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Foggy Dew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMother O\u0026amp;#39; Mine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Low Backed Car\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Little Love, A Little Kiss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNearer My God To Thee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEileen Alanna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSay \u0026amp;#39;au Revoir\u0026amp;#39;, But Not \u0026amp;#39;goodbye\u0026amp;#39;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLullaby From \u0026amp;#39;jocelyn\u0026amp;#39;(Angels Guard Thee)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAve Maria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAve Maria (From \u0026amp;#39;cavalleria Rusticana\u0026amp;#39;)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful Isle Of Somewhere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Wild Irish Rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMary Of Argyle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt\u0026amp;#39;s A Long Way To Tipperary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomewhere A Voice Is Calling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome Into The Garden Maude\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdeste Fideles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerenata\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Little Bit Of Heaven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePanis Angelicus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKathleen Mavourneen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 824046750824\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrobat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.10.16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59581268852817,"sku":"57947","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/3316796.jpg?v=1780057470","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/es\/products\/john-mccormack-collection-1906-42-2-cd","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
