John McCormack and Frank Patterson have thrilled audiences with their amazing vocal talents. McCormack is regarded as one of the greatest vocalists of the last 400 years, as well as the greatest Irish tenor of all time. With his ability to exhilarate the listener with amazing vocal talents, McCormack found the balance that melds both words and music into one and makes everything he sings seamless and refined. Likewise, Patterson has been performing to sold-out audiences world-wide and was the first Irish artist to have his own show in New York's Radio City Music Hall, which sold out for six consecutive years. With McCormack's masterful voice and the styling of Patterson overlaying the music of the Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus, the result is a classic-sounding conglomeration of eloquent vocals on behalf of both tenors and beautiful accompaniment from the orchestra.

Thanks to the technology of today, these two timeless voices are brought together for the first time. The result is a beautiful mix of two great Irish voices that captivate the listener through traditional Irish ballads and songs that reflect their close association with the United States. This combination lends itself to the classical feel of the album and the amalgamation of their voices feels as though they had been destined to sing together. The creation of this CD not only makes that possible, but also yields an unforgettable sound that listeners will enjoy.
