Tenor Paul Groves' stunning rendition of Nadir's aria, "Je crois entendre encore..." preceded by recitative, to Bizet's Les Pecheurs des Perles.
The tessitura is high, the notes are long, the rhythm's slow and languid, and the top notes are delivered not in forte but somewhere between piano and mezzo forte, a difficult feat to achieve especially when volume is usually needed to hit the high notes.
