This is a wonderful reminder that classical musiciians have been crossing over the genre bounds for a long time. Aksel SchiØtz was a great tenor from Denmark, whose primary musical style based itself round the Baroque and Classical styles from Buxtehude, and Dowland, through Bach, Handel, and Mozart and onto the German Art Songs of Schumann.

 

I just thought it might be nice to share this!

Thanks for posting that George. Very good, but I'm afraid I've got Ella Fitzgerald's version lodged immovably in what passes for my brain.
