Free Music Notes for The "Pearl Fishers" Duet Album
Free Music Review: A centerpiece in my opera collection.
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this album many years ago on LP (slightly different contents) and then rushed out to buy it when I started acquiring CDs. It remains one of my most cherished recorded possessions.Bjoerling and Merrill are both among my all-time favorites. When their voices are blended together, the whole is even greater than the sum of the parts. They complement each other as few other duos in history, and certainly are the ultimate among the many other tenor/baritone albums that are available.
The most notable selections, in my opinion, are the Pearlfishers and Don Carlos tracks. The Otello duet is painful to hear when you realize that Bjoerling's tragically early death prevented him from ever performing the role or recording any other extracts (as far as I know).
This CD certainly belongs in any operatic collection and on any list of opera essentials.
