About the Artist
Matt Schanandore was born and raised in Mandan, North Dakota. It is a town nestled among the hills and prairies of the Dakota plains. These surroundings, as well as the people who live there, are just a few of the many influences that helped him to create his unique style of music. He began composing his own songs at a young age and some of the songs on this album were created by as early as age 15. The album was released in 2002, when he was 18 years old.

Product Description
"A Walk Through Life" is a collection of outstanding easy listening piano songs depicting nature and life on the North Dakota prairie. All the sound combinations are original and were generated through the use of a digital piano. Thus, the artist was able to add unique and captivating resonance to his already special style of music. Each song title is distinctive to its piece of music. It is the artist's hope that the listener will be able to create a visual picture in his or her mind, as each song tells its own story.

It seems pretty clear that Ronan Tynan has no intention of resting on his laurels. Despite a stunning string of world-dominating, top-selling releases as a member of the much-loved Irish Tenors--not to mention his accomplishments as a champion athlete, an M.D., and a memoirist (see his recently published Halfway Home: My Life 'til Now)--the singer has now released his debut solo effort on Sony Classical. No matter which member of the Irish Tenors happens to be your favorite, My Life Belongs to You is a treat, affording as it does a chance to bask in the deeply expressive, mellifluous voice of Tynan. He has chosen his selections well and is equally poised and tender in classics from Mario Lanza ("Because You're Mine," "I'll Walk with God"), Broadway, and sacred music. What's especially wonderful is the opportunity to hear Tynan's emotionally gripping vocalism from so many angles. The mixing by Frank McNamara gives a lovely old-time feeling to the orchestral playing--a bit like a treasured old sepia photograph. A bonus track of Irving Berlin's "God Bless America" is included. --Sarah Chin

Customer Reviews:

He should have stayed with Irish music........2007-04-04

Ronan Tynon was my favorite of 'The Irish Tenors;' so I was excited when I saw this cd. But, it was a big disappointment. The singing is mechanical; there is no personality, no emotion. The 'bonus track,' an unaccompanied "God Bless America," serves only to accentuate the absence of feeling. He should have stayed with Irish music.

My Life Belongs to You.......2007-03-08

A real sleeper in the Ronan Tynan series. First rate.

Ronan Tynan.......2007-01-10

I assume this is a great cd, since we own 3 Ronan Tynan cd's. This however was a gift for a friend , bought specifically for the song "God Bless America." He did, however rave about it to us, so it must be terrific.

Ronan at his most Emotional.......2005-11-26

This cd "My Life Belongs to You" is Ronan at his greatest. Each song he sings shows the great emotion he has in his voice. Ronan can sing each one of these to me anytime. He has great clarity and emotion as he sings. Love the CD "My Life Belongs to You."

greatest living tenor.......2005-03-22

Ronan Tynan is an amazing vocalist, and an amazing man. I'd never heard of him until, in the 2001 World Series, he sang "God Bless America," at Yankee Stadium. From then on, my husband was hooked. He bought this album as soon as he heard of it, and his culture level, musically speaking, is usually -----. But this is the exception that proves every rule. "my Life Belongs to You," "You'll Never Walk Alone," and above all else "The Holy City," are faves of his. This is easily the best recording of "Holy City," still in print. Nelson Eddy did the original, but sadly, no recording of it is known to exist. if only, lord, if only ... but until then, this is a masterpiece. "Roses of Picardy," is a thousand times better than the jazzed-up version of it Frankie Layne did. who was he kidding? This is a slow, tender ballad, and Tynan brings it off with spectacular flair. There's none like him--and where would we put one if there was?

Movie Version on CD IS NOW AVAILABLE.......2006-04-08

I've not heard this stage recording, but thought that those interested in this recording should know that Film Score Monthly just released a 3 CD edition of the 1969 movie score. It includes the original soundtrack album and the music as heard in the movie. Plus quite a few alternate takes and interviews with Peter O'Toole and Petula Clark. A 48-page booklet details everything you may want to know about this neglected score.
Search out this recording. It is so well worth it.

A pale substitute for the film soundtrack.......2005-07-18

I believe that the musical film version of "Goodbye Mr Chips" is one of the most underrated in the history of musical movies. Somewhat adapted from James Hilton's original short story, it is nevertheless a truly moving experience blessed by wonderful performances and a lovely score from Leslie Bricusse. The movie score has the inestimable advantage of being arranged and conducted by John Williams...and that is largely what is missing from this theatre version.

The current recording is taken from a stage presentation that was very well received at the Chichester Festival Theatre (in the UK). The story was closer to Hilton's original; the band smaller (naturally) than the equivalent forces used in the film and although Sir John Mills arguably sings better than Peter O'Toole, the performance of the latter is simply far more heartfelt.

Writing from the UK, we have been even less well served than those in the USA - inexplicably for this most "English" of movies. The VHS version of the movie was only briefly available and the vinyl soundtrack (no longer available) is in emaciated sound.

Buy this version if you went to the Chichester theatre to see it: it might be a nice momento for you. Otherwise call on whatever means are at your disposal to urge MGM to release the movie on DVD (including, please, Intro., Entr'Acte and Exit music!) and the soundtrack on CD!

Grab the movie soundtrack instead..........2001-11-24

I searched this one out hoping for great things (more "Chips" songs!), but what a let down! Performances are banal, and the new songs really would give the critics ammunition who hated the score. A vinyl copy of the soundtrack isn't hard to find (if you can play it!), and should tide you over until a CD or DVD release-please MGM!

goodby mr. chips...when in CD????.......2001-09-21

I agree with the fan from baltimore...the soundtrack is better. (there is a japanese version of the soundtrack in Cd but very hard to find)

Certainly not Petula Clark & Peter O'Toole.......2001-09-02

First off, I do not own this CD. I have listened to parts of it.
The CD is obviously a recording of a stage version of Chips, with some added songs. But also with some rather grievous omissions. Where is "London Is London" which was so beautifully performed by Clark - and for that matter Clark's soulful lament to "Apollo". This recording just won't do. I'm sorry I can't share the other reviewer's enthusiasm. I would much rather listen to the VHS version to get my fix. I do own the original MGM issue of the soundtrack on vinyl, thank God. It's about time the original with O'Toole & Clark were issued on CD. For that matter I would love to see this film on DVD also. So how about Apollo "make my dream come true"

A Fine Example.......2006-03-29

This has many wonderful examples of Anglican Hymnody performed by a lovely parish choir. I have recommended this to many musician friends, all whom have enjoyed it thoroughly. Of particular interest is Calvin Hampton's tune St. Helena set with the text "There's a Wideness In God's Mercy." This is rarely recorded, yet is regarded as one of the finest hymn tunes of the 20th century. It's a fine example of how the tune can dramatically shape the text. Compare this to the tune "Beecher" sometime and observe the profound difference in how the text comes to life.

Beware!!!.......2004-06-24

Although the perforamnces are reasonable, the other reviewers failed to warn potential buyers that the track "Jerusalem - And did those feet in ancient time" credited to Blake and Parry only uses Parry's music. Some genius in the mid 20th century decided he could improve upon Sir William Blake's inspirational poem and replaced his words with his own puerile rubbish - that (for some bizarre reason) is the version recorded here (hence the different track names in the listing).

Excellent, excellent!.......2002-08-23

This is a marvelous CD and the hymns are elegant and sumptiously performed. A must-have CD for home or for listening to in rush hour traffic.

A valuable collection........2003-01-12

Admirers of this very major singer may well judge this to be the very best collection of John McCormack reissues on the market. It gathers together everything he recorded in the last twenty months of his singing life. Joining with accompanist Gerald Moore at London's Abbey Road Studios, he recorded sometimes as many as six items at a recording session.

Gerald Moore, in his autobiography, recalled that John McComack was averse both to rehearsing and to recording more than one take of each song. Of the dozens of items here, almost all derive from a first take. Only once was there a tiny error. It occurred in the song "The Green Bushes". Listen carefully, and you will hear John McCormack begin to sing "So sweetly she sang" before correcting it, in the nick of time, to "So sweetly sang she". There was never a chance to do another take, but fortunately the item was eventually issued after McCormack's death. Indeed, there are many items here that were issued posthumously, and at least six published here for the first time. A couple of duets with Maggie Teyte have had little or no circulation. One of them here sounds to be copied from a slightly faulty but perhaps only existing copy.

In the old-fashioned, sentimental and imprecise terminology of his day, McCormack sang from his heart, and aimed to touch the hearts of his hearers. It is fortunate that sound recording caught these performances so well, before emphysema silenced McCormack forever, and it is fortunate that Pavilion Records and supervisor Brian Fawcett-Johnston make them available today.

A good sampling of the last days of an inimitable artist........1999-04-21

By the time these performances were put to wax, McCormack's voice was twenty or more years past it's prime. But, unlike most classically trained singers, McCormack's vocal limitations appear to have encouraged a more musically adventurous approach to his singing. His later recordings have an immediacy and sponteneity that is absolutely unique to a singer of his era and training. His singing is, in fact, more like that of a "pop" singer, in that the voice takes a back seat to the phrasing, and ablility to convey a lyric with honest emotion instead of histrionics. The clarity of tone, and the ring of the high notes is gone in these recordings, but the "presence" of McCormack the songster is stronger than ever. The transfers are excellent, as we have come to expect from Pearl. While the fidelity is not what most expect from today's recording techniques, to my ear they are more satisfying. The voice is recorded up-front and very clearly, and we can revel in the knowledge that it was all originally recorded "honestly"; that is, without edits and without electronic alterations of any sort. McCormack was a great artist who never became boring. In this day of bellicose tenors who are content to sing the same repertoire in the same manner year after year, that is saying a lot. If McCormack's singing is new to you, do yourself a favor and get this one. Also pick up one of his youthful operatic recitals, and you will come to know just what a great performer and amazingly varied artist he was. Enjoy, for his like will probably not be heard again.
