Musical ReflectionsA programme devoted to the legendary art of John Count McCormack, Ireland’s greatest tenor with a career that took him to the great opera houses of the world. Despite his operatic success it was on the concert platform and in the recording studio that his extraordinary popularity was forged, making him the highest paid tenor of his generation. The evening includes video footage and live performances from Karl Scully, one of Ireland’s international tenors and from the versatile violinist, Ken Rice. McCormack’s meteoric career alongside his close friendship with the great Fritz Kreisler will be traced by Paul Brock and the most popular music associated with both these legendary artists will be heard in live performances. This attractive programme is sure to be extremely popular with the National Library’s audience.
