Brilliant Tenor
"DOMEO ET JULlETTE"— Cavatina **■ (Gounod) ; "Carmen" — Flower Song (Bizet). Sung by Georges Thill, tenor de l'opora. Columbia 04019.
M. Thill made a sensation with his first record, and this, his second effort, fully lives up to the same high standard. It is not that he has an exceptionally fine voice, but there is something so attractively manly about it, and his style, for all its forcefulness, Is so easy and flowing.
The familiar qualities of the French school are evident m both these airs. His accent is pure, his style free from tricks or mannerism and his powerful tenor voice fairly steady.
The Flower Song from Carmen 5s quite a contrast m style, but M. Thill makes the most of its lyrical and impassioned strains. A wonderful singer wonderfully recorded.
