Tír Na HiFi

The French tenor Hugues Cuénod is 108 today, 26 June. Hear him in Monteverdi's Zefiro torna with Paul Derenne under Nadia Boulanger in 1937: delightful!

BTW, Claudio Abaddo is 77 today: happy birthday to him too!

That really is quite beautiful, Ciaran. Not how they would perform it nowadays but what does that matter? And Boulanger's sensitive piano accompaniment is quite wonderful. I really must hunt out Pristine Audio's CD issue of these recordings.

What beautiful and serene music making that was!
