CD Reviews

Serviceable rendition of this great opera (1863 Version)
Peter Hoogenboom | New Zealand | 10/05/2007
(3 out of 5 stars)

"** Be warned that if you are buying this for the famous Act I duet "Au fond du temple saint" then you may be disappointed. This is the original 1863 version with an attenuated version of that great duet. **



This caveat aside Ileana Cotrubas is in good voice as Leila and Alain Vanzo is also OK as Nadir. The conducting from George Pretre is merely pedestrian but the choruses come across quite well.



This is probably the best available version of "The Pearl Fishers", but we still await a really good version of this great Bizet opera."
