The Nuits d' été is now usually sung by one singer, and that a soprano. It was originally conceived for tenor with piano, however. When Berlioz orchestrated the cycle, some 15 years after composing it, he optionally assigned some of the songs to other voices, but this mélodie remained "pour ténor". Is it necessary to say that no one has ever made it live with the kind of elegiac tenderness that Edmond Clément brings to it?

Ein schönes Timbre hat Clement, wenn man bedenkt wie die damalige Technik
damals sich anhörte. Diese Stimme hätte in unserer Zeit hohe Beachtung verdient.
