My dad died about 6 weeks ago. He was at home so that we could care for him there.
This was his favourite piece of music. He went into a coma the day before he died, Mum and I played it to him in his coma. He opened his eyes and looked around and then went back to sleep. Glad he got to hear his favourite music as he went onto his new journey.

I lost my husband this last Saturday afternoon, & a few years ago he took me to see this opera it was a wonderful nite I shall never forget .

I'm really surprised at Ghiaurov. I didn't know he could sing so lightly and lyrically. Pavarotti is stunning. I can't think of more beautiful singing from him that I have heard

[belqis]

This is indeed a gorgeous version. Another is the live concert performance with Jonas Kaufmann and Dmitri Hvorostovsky (RIP); they both put so much feeling into it. My mother truly loved this duet, and always think of her when I hear it. I was so lucky to be able to see the Met Opera's exquisite production of The Pearl Fishers/Les Pecheurs des Perles with her, just a couple of years before her passing.

I simply love this version of the Pearl Fishers' Duet. I had no idea that Nicolai Ghiaurov could sing something like this. He's perfection.

It doesn't get any better than this. AMAZING VOICES.

[Cfilms]

This has to be the most amazing rendition of this duet. It is certainly amongst Pavarotti's finest recordings. That he sings throughout with mezza-voce is not only an astonishing feat of singing, it creates one of the most wonderful tenor voices imaginable.

My dather died aat 7.10.2023
One of his favourite songs.
He was a great leader for choires and solist.
But he could not find someone who sing with him this beautiful song 😢.

[moley]

Good Lord, how have I missed this all my life? I was always a fan of the Bjorling/Merrill classic, but these two give it a delicacy that I never could have imagined!

[drbob]

One of the best Perlfishers duets in existence. Maestros Pavarotti and Ghuiarov at their best.

[canislupus]

I just can't get rid of the goosebumps on my skin... These two artists equal each other in their powerful and mighty, but also wonderful and beautiful, clear voices. Simply magnificent... Thank you for this wonderful gift.

[nivek]

Never too late to discover treasures from the past! And what a beautiful voice Nicolai Ghiaurov!❤

[joshorowitz]

True what others have said here-the best recording of this duet ever-Pavarotti at his best and so effortless Giaurov with such brilliant tone

[lynn]

I just discovered this amazing Opera Duet - and listening to Pavarotti sing, unbelievable... What I wouldn't give to have been able to see him sing

[metteholm]

The most beautiful version, I have heard. These two voices were made for each other.

[nadetomirkova]

Divine voices !!! BRAVO Bulgaria !!! BRAVO Italy !!! I LOVE You ENDLESS !!! ENDLESS THANK You FOR VIDEO Nadia Mirkova and friends from Sofia - Bulgaria

[aneamarlivana]

I was stunned that Ghiaurov could sing this. Would have thought that his voice was too heavy for it, but he's marvelous.

[frankkeller]

It has been a long time since I've heard this sublime music. It brings tears to my eyes and puts a smile on my face no matter who is singing. The music is beautiful. It is part of what makes life worthwhile!!

[kyleethekelt]

For me, it's not the voices so much (though they are stunning), it's the sheer feeling. Friendships which have weathered the storms of life are true indeed.

[delilahharris]

This is the Zenith for me when listening to Pavatotti! The beautiful pairing of these two is breathtaking!
The extream differences in both voices just kills me emotionally! It makes me cry every time.😂😂😂😂
