Andrea Bocelli - The Pearl Fishers Duet

Can we all just enjoy the beauty of the music?

Your just a bunch of fuckwits,,, just listen and enjoy the music and performance will you?. Close your eyes and listen you dumb F**k wanna be critics.

I can understand some people's view of how Bocelli's voice doesn't compare or is even in the same league as Bjorling, Pavarotti etc... but what I imagine people do appreciate about his voice is the colour and tone. It does seem shocking that Terfel would "lower" himself to perform with Bocelli, but in truth there were some beautiful moments in this performance. And of course some harsh ones, but it's a wonderful piece to listen to nonetheless. Let's stop comparing and simply appreciate!

Does anyone know of a Pavarotti recording of this?

Im english and think Merrill and Bjorling the best version!!

I can't believe Terfel agreed to sing with Bocelli. I wouldn't have even if I was contractually bound. Terrible.

I also like the version with merrill and Björling. But then I am off coarse biased since I am a swede.

Bryn does a terrific job but Andrea, while he certainly has the notes, seems to lack emotion in this duet. Continual full voice isn't always called for. They both love the goddess but both are renouncing her for the sake of their friendship for each other. Andrea could have done much better and I am a Bocelli fan. Compare this aria with the Bjorling-Merrill duet and you'll see the difference. Now that is sublime.

My late mother used to play this Bizet classic, to me when I was a child; it moved me then and still does. Fantastic

Thank you. He has such an amazing, full, deep voice. I envy you, but now I can be a new fan!

Bryn terfel, he is comming til Oslo next month, and I have tickets :-)

Whoooo is the Baritone?

that was beautifull

Baritone isn't bad. Andrea Bocelli is the worst thing I have ever heard. He butchers Nadir.

Always was and will be my No.1 song.
