Three Mo Tenors

Three Mo Tenors


Starring:Thomas Young, Roderick Dixon, Victor Trent Cook
Studio: RCA Victor
Product Type: DVD

Editorial Review:

Thomas Young, Roderick Dixon, and Victor Trent Cook do not have the level of name recognition enjoyed by the other three tenors, José 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." --Joe McLellan

Love it. I cannot seem to keep a copy. Others see and hear it and want a copy. I have had to order this four times in order to keep a copy. Others by this group are just as entertaining. This is good for kids as well as adults. They are just plain good.

This dvd is a joy to watch.It was almost like being there in person. The music ranged from opera to the blues and other genres in between.The performances were emotionally stimulating and culturally enriching.

5 out of 5 stars Remarkable and Original.......2006-05-15

This doesn't get any better - unless you see and hear "Cook Dixon & Young Volume 1" - the 2nd album by these three unbelievable gentlemen! The original 3 mo' tenors are now singing and have been singing under their own names. Don't let any other advertisement throw you! If you see an album called "Three Mo Tenors" it is Cook Dixon & Young. If you see a concert featuring "3 Mo tenors" it is NOT Cook Dixon & Young. These men are incredible, versatile, and touch your soul like no other. A treasure!

The word "Mo'" in the title got my attention. I bought the CD to compare it to the already popular "Three Tenors" (Placido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti and Jose Carreras). Wow! Was I surprised. I had expected an all opera, classical and possibly spiritual repertoire. But, the music varies from "Nessun Dorma" to "Love Train" and is truly, truly delightful. I enjoyed the wonderful voices of Thomas Young, Roderick Dixon, and Victor Trent Cook and the variety of musical selections so much that I purchased several other copies for my family and friends. Then, several months later, I saw their performance on PBS. I immediately ordered the VHS offered by the TV station, paying way, way over the retail price. But, I had to have it. It was, and is, the most exciting musical performance that I have seen. Later, when I put the tape into the player at my son's house, my 5-year-old granddaughter Ciara stood next to me to watch. I expected her to move away soon, but, she stood there during the entire playback of the performance, and I do mean from beginning to end. I left the tape there so that son could see it later. The following day, and for most days during the next several weeks, Ciara asked to have the tape played, until she later was taught to handle it herself. The family has since replaced my VHS with the DVD so that now, when Ciara visits me, we can watch the show again (and again). "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.
