La diction est superbe et quelle homogénéité dans cette voix. Le choix de rester en voix feinte après taciturne, très délicat, et tout en douceur. L'enregistrement est aussi de grande qualité : de quand date-t-il ?
I found : Le soir, interprété par Charles Panzera, Madeleine Panzera, enregistrement 1934, Mélodies et Airs, un album 2x33T EMI-VSM Référence. Thank You for the post
Exemplary diction, and the right kind pf voice for this repertory (although I, personally, prefer Souzay). But the intonation here sounds marginally flat. Whether that is due to Panzera's singing or, instead to the fact that the disc was recorded (or played back for remasterisation) at the wrong speed, is something that I have no way of knowing.
I appreciate your comments, but don`t quite hear him going flat. At climaxes such as at 1:02 or 1:20 the timbre is dry, quasi-falsetto, but even there he seems to achieve the pitch.

Un des rares airs composé par Ch. Gounod. Très beau et émouvant...
Sublime et inégalable. Merci pour ce moment de pur bonheur.

@vondegrobozo Unfortunately, I have no date for the Gounod "Le Soir".
Superb ♥️
It was written around 1840-1842.
C'est Panzéra !

While I do not want to sound negative, I do think that this performance is a bit more declamatory and less intimate than one might wish for.
