For those who enjoyed it last time, and those might enjoy a bit of historic film. The singer is apparently a Belgian - Jean Noté - the film maker the French pioneer of cinematography, Georges Mendel. I'm not sure that the singer is actually the person we see in the film.

Merci, ff.

A little bit of theatrics for the film's sake, but what I enjoyed was the singer getting up there and doing a fine job. Never fails.

Excellent! Although I have a soft spot for Berlioz's version:

And walking off at the end and then coming back again to take a bow! :-)

They played the Berlioz on Breakfast yesterday. Sometimes we complain that the pieces aren't long enough !

I have a soft spot for the Berlioz version as well. Gets my French side of me going there!
