Jussi Björling sings Pearl Fishers Duet with Robert Merrill

THE definitive version.

Yes I agree, the best, most emotional rendition I have heard. If a story is worth telling...

Incredible

This is one of the songs which will be played at my funeral - doesn't sound like a compliment does it, but in reality, it is!!!

@paris1100hotmail : for those who loved you and respected you it is the start of a part of a lifetime, the time without you.

for those you did not knew you it is a message, you will remember me.

I can understand and feel with you!

Thank you :-)

Outstanding the best performance of this duet I have ever heard.....Bravo!!!!!!!

Someone mentioned this was not the whole duet as in the opera. Check out the Domingo-Milnes video for the full renditon with the English translation in sub-titles. Their voices blend fairly well but perhaps limited as recorded on stage rather than in studio. Domingo had to really belt it out as Milnes has a powerfull baritone voice.

This was my mams favourite piece... It makes me cry now and I'm a rufty tufty biker!
