Stylistically, he is the epitome of a perfect stylistically accurate French musical style and sings this songs with an incredible attention to word and text. How lovely
I was in Antibes just before he died but before I discovered this wonderful voice. How I wish I had come across him earlier and had the chance to tell him how much he is still appreciated.
I was his house guest in Antibes, back in 1992. We had met at a master class he was giving in Salzburg (where I was an auditor, not a participant: I'm a cellist, not a singer).. He was a lovely, sensitive, rather vulnerable man. I had worshipped him ever since my discovery of his recording of the mélodies of Duparc. For me at least, he was the very incarnation of the mélodie française. I miss him.
fhr1980 Foi entre 1951 e 1954, um concerto inesquecível, como muitos nessa época, em que assistí duas vezes a Villa Lobos regendo a sinfônica municipal com Bidu Sayão cantando a bachiana 5, Fernando Germani na Tres Rios, Cortot e Thybaud no municipal.Bons tempos.
This is the lower version btw (seems d major), it seems to me that this is one of the recordings he made later in life, because i remember listening to his recordings in which he sang in original tonality... But the case could be that the recording was a bit slowed down and hence it sounds lower. In any case, he always had that sweetness in acutes, even in piano... Bless his soul
Un des plus sublimes poèmes français mis en musique avec un génie sans pareille... et dans une interprétation inégalable

Ravishing voice. Unmatched in this repertoire.

I attended a recital by Souzay in Sao Paulo. Absolutely unforgettable, wonderful!

Perfection, nothing more to say.

I don't know how he sings that E -flat at the end so softly and delicately.
Because " chante " in our soul is like " love " : something simple and infinite.
and "chantera" (future) is like as love is dead.
