No. 2 - Scène de la déclaration : ‘Il faut nous séparer’
Charlotte and Werther return from the ball; at the gate of her house, she tells him that here they must part. Even though he has only just met her, Werther loves Charlotte, and believes that she is his soulmate. She is the most beautiful and the best of women, as her children know. Charlotte acknowledges that she has tried to be mother to her siblings since their own mother’s death - and that she has promised her mother to marry Albert, who has just arrived. Werther is distraught at the news.

Le meilleur enregistrement je crois de ce magnifique duo dont j'ai moi même appris la partie du ténor alors que j'étudiais le chant lyrique il y a hélas plus de cinquante ans..j'avais acheté le 33 tours quelques années auparavant probablement à l'âge de 19 ans et cela m'avait bien aidé. La disparition de mon maître me priva de l'audition que nous avions prévue à l'opéra Garnier et d'une éventuelle carrière.
Mitico Thill! Grandioso!
Each time I cry all the tears of my body. Each time.
J'adore Georges Thill, c'est un monument national! mais Ninon Vallin aussi!! quelle diction quelle délicatesse!!!
The supreme Werther - romantic, elegant, manly. If only we had singing such as this now.
yes, mostly sang now by wrong voice types. Listen to his tones and the music tones. Exactly the same. Great singing and believing in it.
"The great Georges Thill"--now I understand that.
Yes, nobody rivals Thill in this!
