Excellent way to start the day. Thanks. I wonder if Chauvet, a relatively light-toned tenor, would have difficulty being heard against a full chorus ( missing here ) in the opera huuse, though. Very much taken with "La Sorciere"...
The captation doesn't do justice to Guy Chauvet's voice here : he was known to have a big voice, easily heard in the opera house - he was a good Othello or Radames (voice allegedly mesured at 140dB in an automobile factory). Here is a representation of Hérodiade recorded from the public (I think) : th-cam.com/video/WPb5olCpVcY/w-d-xo.html "ne pouvant réprimer les élans de la foi" is at 1:37:24 What do you think about La sorcière ?
