 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
Bizet's exotic opera The Pearl Fishers is now released on the Chandos Opera in English label. Although not as well-known as Bizet's Carmen, The Pearl Fishers contains a wealth of attractive music, including the well-known duet 'Au fond du Temple saint', one of the UK's 'favourite tunes'. There is surely no better way of discovering the jewels of this romantic work than listening to the superb voices of Rebecca Evans, Barry Banks, Simon Keenlyside, and Alastair Miles.
