There have been many worthy attempts at singing the anthem this week in solidarity with French suffering.

Most have drifted far from the score. This recording by the great tenor Georges Thill (1897-1984) is about as accurate as it gets – every note in place, every syllable pronounced, even the second verse rendered in full.

Liberté, liberté, cherie!
