    THIS is how this sublime folk song should be sung, simply, with understanding and sensitivity.

    Just beautiful from both pianist and tenor. Perfection, simple, beautiful.

    I heard Matthew sing this song at a Met Opera Gala from his home...and since then his version is my favorite one.

    Splendidly and tenderly sung! As good as I've ever heard it, (And God KNOWS I've heard it a LOT in my time! )

    I can feel the pain and sorrow of the father sending the son off to the battle field knowing well the son may never come home to visit the father's tomb. I am in tears reliving the farewell scene. God bless all good fathers on this Easter.

    Have not heard it sung better since McCormack, until now. Matthew clearly knows how to put his soul into this one. BravOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    A lyric " tenore di grazia " who has no rivals today.

      i was just thinking he clearly knows Mcormack very well. Unfortunatelly he doesnt have the support mccormack and it shows in the repetition he's not on the breath and misses a more fliud legato trying to sing gently.

      Did John McCormack ever sing Danny Boy? I thought he hated it and didn’t sing it. I’ve only heard him sing the tune to different lyrics.

    This is posibaly the most simplistic and basic version of this song I have ever heard and it was pure bliss and perfection! Real beauty has no end!

      It is even more poignant and crushingly beautiful when one knows that he lost his daughter of 18 months a few years ago...

    Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
    From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
    The summer's gone, and all the roses falling,
    It's you, It's you must go and I must bide.
    But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
    Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
    It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,-
    Oh, Danny boy, O Danny boy, I love you so!
    But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,
    If I am dead, as dead I well may be,
    Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying,
    And kneel and say an Avè there for me.
    And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
    And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
    For you will bend and tell me that you love me,
    And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!
