Thill’s Wagner (three examples here) is indeed perfectly sung (as Schwarzkopf is reported to have declared), but as for expression the Grail might be a teacup and Walse a breadknife. Similarly he can give lessons in vocal manners to the Italians, but his Canio, Calaf and Chenier glow rather than flame. Lovely Gounod and Massenet.'
