The Irish Tenors are no strangers to fans of "Today," "Good Morning America" and "20/20." 
In addition to their numerous TV appearances, the tenors Finbar Wright, Anthony Kearns 
and Ronan Tynan maintain a busy tour schedule. Late last year, the trio's holiday-themed 
collection, "We Three Kings," reached the summit of the Billboard Top World Music Albums 
chart. Now, on the heels of that set, the Irish Tenors deliver the 16-track "Heritage." 
While it spotlights their Irish heritage, it does not ignore Celtic-influenced folk songs 
from other traditions. Recorded earlier this year with the London Symphony Orchestra, 
"Heritage" is home to such breathtaking moments as "I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen," 
"Song for Ireland," "Off to Philadelphia" and "Red Is the Rose." [Wright's] cover of 
"My Heart Will Go On" will make you weak in the knees. MP
