Jussi Björling sings Pearl Fishers Duet with Robert Merrill video

By request, I've uploaded this audio only, digitally remastered version, of the 1950 recording of The Pearl Fishers Duet sung by Jussi Björling and Robert Merrill. Renato Cellini leads the RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra. If you get a chance go out and buy this CD. I'm on a quest to make sure that this new generation of opera lovers not forget who Björling was. Pavarotti is not the only tenor that ever lived and by no means the best. Long live Björling and Merrill!
