Got the movie meanwhile, and it's really good.
Any chance there's a recording with Langdon as Grand Inquisitor or Hagen?

I've tried Langridge, and loved him. He's also more of a gentleman type by default, but he can look whatever he wants. (Hell, he can even look an evil Witch...) You can believe he's a fisherman, and psychologically, he's perfect. (Not to mention vocally too.)
My problem with VIckers was the overplaying. He looked like a Tristan disguised as a fisherman, while everyone else played realistically.

Good point about Pears and Grimes however my comment is really to highlight the the late Peter Glossop...a sadly missed and all too often overlooked great British baritone.
Wig aside, very good here.

Other lyric tenors have sung Grimes as well, like Anthony Rolfe Johnson and Anthony Dean Griffey (although granted, Griffey is a pretty big man:)). Jon Vickers demonstrated that given sufficient technique, dramatic tenors could sing Grimes. So other big-voiced guys followed him. Now the trend seems to be swinging back the other way. Whether you prefer a dramatic or lyric Grimes is a matter of taste. I've only heard Pears, Vickers and Johnson in the role. Each was splendid --

Apparently, during the young bachelor song, Pears once replaced the word "woo" with "fuck". Much better, methinks.

Sieglinde84, it's hard work being a fisherman Peter Grimes couldn't be physically fragile and certainly not vocally fragile (his mind could be fragile). I have great admiration for Pears as Grimes, but at times he's a bit too much of an English gentleman, on the decca recording for example, when he sings "water, you had the last yesterday" he doesn't sound anything like a fisherman

Poor Glossop has a criminally bad wig, but the movie still looks awesome. I SO love this scene. Evil pwn'd. :D
And what a nice voice Pears had. Why is Grimes sung by big, bear-like Heldentenors so often? If he's fragile, both physically and vocally, you'll feel for him easier.

Very Impressive, but I just have to say it... Charlie Sheen at 4:00?
