There is always a special pleasure in the blending of two fine voices, and composers have usually been happy to provide it during the course of their operas. Characters may join their voices in a unity of feeling, or in extreme disagreement, or in any one of the thousand shades in between. On this CD, opening with the universally beloved 'Pearl Fishers Duet' the accent is on duets between male operatic characters, singing together in contexts ranging from friendship to the sharing of mutual loss, from fierce enmity to the celebration of joint purpose.
