Digital Booklet

|||||
French-Mexican tenor Rolando Villazón and Russian bass Ildar Abdrazakov join with the Orchestre Métropolitain de Montréal and conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin for this stunning release of operatic duets. Featuring famous excerpts from operas such as Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore, Bizet's Les pêcheurs de perles, and Gounod's Faust, this is a collaboration between world class musicians whose rapport as long-time friends is palpable in their exquistely blended voices.
“the two of them have very different voices, but their colours blended together wonderfully. It was truly beautiful to hear!”
- Yannick Nézet-Séguin, conductor
