Music reviews of Bizet: Les Pecheurs de Perles (The Pearl Fishers)

Music Review: The Best Ever
Rating: 5 Stars

About 12 years ago, when I was first learning about opera, I relied heavily on the recommendations of a friend of mine, who I consider to be an expert. This friend is an opera devotee of the highest order; he has hundreds of opera recordings and attended his first Met performance in 1948 or so. He has been a lover of opera since his teens, and has committed many Italian librettos to memory. He had been trying to interest me in opera for years, but I was almost 40 when I finally decided that it was time I took the plunge. Naturally, I allowed him to suggest which recordings to acquire, which to steer clear of, and why.

When I shortly started asking, "What is this opera by Bizet called `the Pearl Fishers', he told me to "get the version with Micheau and Gedda - it's known as the best recording of it". So I ordered it, but in the meanwhile, I also acquired this 1988 version with Hendricks and Aler. When I mentioned it to my friend, he sniffed, "I don't know it, so I can't comment. But you can't go wrong with the Micheau / Gedda interpretation." I tried to tell him how much I liked the Hendricks / Aler recording, but he told me to wait until I'd heard the one he'd suggested.

Some weeks later I finally acquired the recommended classic recording, but, having grown accustomed to the Hendricks and Aler reading, I found the earlier version somewhat lacking. So I bought a new copy of what was now (and has remained to this day) my favorite opera recording, and mailed it to my old friend. I sat back to wait for his opinion.

I didn't wait long. He called me a few days later. "I congratulate you on your taste," he started. "I'm going to tell you something I never thought I'd say - this is not only far and away the best recording I've ever heard of this particular opera, it's one of the best opera recordings I've ever heard in my life!" He then proceeded to tell me how fresh, vibrant and unique he found this recording to be, and later told me that he listened to it every day for weeks, and recently told me he still hasn't grown tired of it.

So, anyone who is contemplating purchasing this glorious recording, I say go for it. My example proves that it will be loved by opera fans both old and new alike.
