Thanks so much for uploading this. The beauty of Ireland fair takes your breath away, matched by the pure tones of John McCormack's voice. My paternal grandfather (born the year before the singer) left County Galway when his first wife died, and later married my grandmother, who had been widowed while pregnant with her second child. Both loved McCormack, and I well remember her singing "Killarney", along with many other old Irish songs, to my little sister (later to die of cancer in her thirties) in the early 1950s. Those were the days. "Sure a little bit of heaven fell from out the sky one day..." Hahaha!!!

Believe me, if all those endearing young charms, Which I gaze on so fondly to-day, Were to change by to-morrow, and fleet in my arms, Like fairy-gifts fading away,- Thou wouldst still be ador'd as this moment thou art, Let thy loveliness fade as it will; And, around the dear ruin each wish of my heart Would entwine itself verdantly still! II. It is not while beauty and youth are thine own, And thy cheeks unprofan'd by a tear, That the fervour and faith of a soul can be known, To which time will but make thee more dear! Oh! the heart, that has truly lov'd, never forgets, But as truly loves on to the close; As the sun-flower turns on her god, when he sets, The same look which she turn'd when he rose.

Wonderful placement of the voice and wonderful breath control, not to mention a beautiful voice. He sang opera for a brief while and sang the Italian tenor parts. However, he soon left the operatic stage for the concert hall. The loss of his top notes probably hastened the transition

His operatic career was not brief and it was only after a very serious illness in, I think, 1930 that his very top register began to go. He was never particularly happy in the acting side of opera and he found his true metier in the concert hall as a recitalist of the highest calibre.
