Three Mo' Tenors - Live in concert [2001, Arias, Broadway & Pop hits, DVD5]

Thomas Young, Roderick Dixon, and Victor Trent Cook do not have the level of name recognition enjoyed by the other three tenors, Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo, and Luciano Pavarotti, but in this concert, taped for a Great Performances telecast, they show spectacular depth and a variety of talents.
They begin with opera, sharing solos in "La donna e mobile," and other operatic material is included-notably "Nessun dorma," which is one of Pavarotti's signature tunes, and "Ah! mes amis" from La Fille du Regiment, with its formidable series of high Cs. But a livelier agenda is established with "Let the Good Times Roll," and the program expands to include pop, blues, Broadway, spirituals, and even a touch of patriotism in "America the Beautiful." Cook has the biggest show-stopper: Cab Calloway's "Minnie the Moocher."
"Three Mo' Tenors" was so surprisingly wonderful - with great voices, charismatic personalities, terrific orchestral arrangements, lively and precisely choreographed routines, and the overall sense of the mutual admiration and respect between the three gentlemen. The beautiful cinematics, with frequently interspersed shots of the enthusiastic audience, contributes to the feeling that I am actually there at the concert. Every time I watch it, I see and hear something new. When I first heard the CD, I was not fascinated by the countertenor voice. After seeing Victor Trent Cook's heartwarming performance on the DVD, and hearing his comment about his mother's definition of a countertenor, I have been granted a new appreciation for his voice. Here it is, years later, and I'm still enamored, remembering Roderick Dixon's "Make Them Hear You" elicits tears, Thomas Young's "Twisted" makes me laugh, and the duet with Victor and Thomas (see, I'm now on first-name basis with them) is so beautiful. I could go on and on. In fact, I think that it's time for another performance.
