Georges Thill - Bach Cantata "Sie werden aus Saba alle kommen" BWV 65

Have not been posting much opera lately. KZbin has become an oasis for classical music lovers. Almost everything in my own music collection has been uploaded by others on youtube, and much more. If the lossy audio quality doesn't bother you, there are hours and hours of great music on this site, all just a click away. Massive thanks to all of you collectors generous enough to share your vast music collections for free.
Anyway, here's a rather unusual recording of Georges Thill singing the tenor aria 'Nimm mich dir zu eigen hin', from Johann Sebastian Bach's Cantata BWV 65, in French.

I love it- a French dramatic singing German baroque cantatas. I seriously don't understand how singers like this existed and continue to exist and people don't consider French dramatic (even lyric dramatic) to be a seperate fach. It is.

George Thill sang for the french soldiers in ww1. He studied with Fernando de Lucia and was an opera star.During Ww2 he was required to sing Wagner beyond his taste and desire. Listent to him singing Massenet.Second to none up to this day

Actually, I think there are 2 others. He has also recorded 'Benedictus' form Bach's Mass in B minor. If I'll have the time, I may post it later on youtube.

George Thill singing Bach, amazing rarity. But oh my God, why did he choose this poor cantata, without a doubt composed by Bach a day when he was really under the weather....

Quel horrible orchestre qui détruit le chant de Thill

Um Gottes willen, bitte nicht nochmal!
