- Just Music. Nicolai Gedda & Ernest Blanc sing "Au Fond Du Temple Saint" from "Les Pêcheurs De Perles" by Georges Bizet in this 1960 recording with the Orchestre Du Théâtre National De L'Opéra-Comique of Paris conducted by Pierre Dervaux.
Gedda ,et e blanc ,un baryton merveilleux, très beau duo
Nicolai Gedda was the best Tenor of the 20th century.
Luminous, stirring, glorious…in eternal dimensions
RIP Nicolai Gedda. One of the greatest tenors of his age.
Considero a mais perfeita interpretação dos personagens, Zurga e Nadir, a harmonia nessa cena e encantadora.
To my ears, this is the greatest recording of this duet! Everyone knows Gedda, but too few know Ernest Blanc! Together they were just fabulous...and Blanc singing the phrase "que rien ne nous separe" has a passion that no one else conveys. Simply magic! He is no longer with us - but he is certainly warmly remembered and dearly missed!
This is my absolute favorite recording of "Pearl Fishers." I purchased the album shortly after it was released when I was in high school. I've heard lots of others do "Au fond du temple saint" and the only other recording that I think comes close is the 1907 Caruso - Ancona presentation. It's slightly slower and has all the distortion of early recordings but it's worth a listen because the voice matching is marvelous.
Thank you for your suggestion. I found it - excellent.
This makes me feel that have carried a small hole in my being and that this talented recording will fill in forever.
Many have performed it...but none better than these two.
I first heard this recording as a 7 year old boy- this recording introduced me to Opera and I have never looked back. I now sing Tenor and this Nicolai Gedda and Ernest Blanc recording is simply unmatched. This is simply the best.
Gedda is superb as always!
The best version of all
NADIR
Au fond du temple saint
Paré de fleurs et d'or,
Une femme apparaît!
Je crois la voir encore!
ZURGA
Une femme apparaît!
Je crois la voir encore!
NADIR
La foule prosternée
La regarde, etonnée,
Et murmure tous bas:
Voyez, c'est la déesse!
Qui dans l'ombre se dresse
Et vers nous tend les bras!
ZURGA
Son voile se souleve!
Ô vision! ô reve!
La foule est a genoux!
NADIR ET ZURGA
Oui, c'est elle!
C'est la déesse plus charmante et plus belle!
Oui, c'est elle!
C'est la déesse qui descend parmi nous!
Son voile se souleve et la foule est a genoux!
NADIR
Mais a travers la foule
Elle s'ouvre un passage!
ZURGA
Son long voile déja
Nous cache son visage!
NADIR
Mon regard, hélas!
La cherche en vain!
Magnificent!
It is the version UI grew up listening to, and the standard by which I will judge all the others.
YES!!!
Merci ,
Sorry, I forgot to say that one should check out Gedda (at 72) doing Dein ist mein ganzes Herz! Truly amazing at any age.
Beautiful👏👏👏
My favourite opera😍😍😍❤️
Just perfect!
Sin palabras. Simplemente magnifico
Absolutely beautiful...thank you!
This duet is not very dissimilar to ones where a man-woman duet requires a certain chemistry. Where the baritone and tenor are friends and respect each other, their voices shall perfectly match and their feelings and expressions shall have synergy that shall empower each other and create a special atmosphere. Like Gedda and Blanc here, or Björling & Merrill, or Alagna & Terfel, or Caruso & Ancona.
Bellissimo
Have heard many versions & none to beat this.
Agreed with all my heart.
Probably this one: ua-cam.com/video/MNfNeybetlA/v-deo.html
@@FF-vv1qu Thanks FF. Just listened and that is also a great version. Their mature voices really make it have such depth.
Perfect!
Eine der ganz großen Aufnahmen. R.I.P. Nicolai Gedda
Ah, nothing like Gedda! :-)
3:28 romper stomper yeahhhhhh
The first time I heard this duet was by Stefan Islandi & Henry Skjær. It may not be in French, but their voices blend better than any I've heard. Guess I'm swimming upstream here.

I absolutely agree with your comment about the way their voices blend. It's a poetic and beautiful rendition.
Among the available recordings, it's actually one of the slower.
Eseguito molto bene!!! (Il tempo scelto mi sembra troppo veloce)...grazie
This ranks near the top of my list for Au Fond, well done. Of course, the quintessential version is Bjorling-Merrill that is as close to perfection as one can imagine for this duet.
very nice however im biased for this song perfomed by Bjorling and Merrill but yes N Gedda was a wonderfull tenor who was unmatched.
Romper stomper
RS also brought me here, regards ☺
Such a beautiful scene in Romper Stomper
Bar non the best version ever, sorry maestro Pavarotti but hands down, top-drawer- Caz.
Blanc sounds a tad dry, without his customary well-balanced resonance, although he is absolutely focused on his interpretation.
Gedda's interpretation is a little more Italian than Gallic, but otherwise excellent.
