Deep humanity, great intimacy, profound belief...If one is not spiritual before hearing the electrifying Franco Corelli sing, you might be after. Corelli's enormous, metallic voice was like a javelin flying through the air. But it is his phrasing and his enunciation which give his vocal art it accessibility and vast expressive dimension. Overwhelmingly moving experience. Thank you for posting.
I saw him sing this with Grace Bumbry and Ezio Falgello. The singers all held the open scores. But Franco, just before the final powerful phrase, just folded the score and put it under his arm. I saw him 4 time and each was magic.
Domani ricorre il 17anniversario della tua morte.Non si può non versare un rigoglioso pianto ricordandoti e come uomo e come artista.Nulla di meglio anche ricordandoti con la tua meravigliosa voce e con un canto da brividi.Per sempre nei nostri cuori con infinito affetto.

Corelli "acts" the Ingemisco in the old Mario Lanza style. Unusual for a religious aria in latin. And he surely was acting in front of the camera over the audio track of his own recording, because we don't see the orchestra. It's all done in a TV studio, as was the standard before good live recordings as we have now. Anyway, tks for the video clip of this controversial tenor.
Yes, you have it right about the dubbed style of that era-and let's face it the setting is a bit campy-but also the taste of that time. (I mean one may or may not think Lanza a great tenor (who really knows because his was a true studio voice and he was not an opera singer) but those goofy movies and their plots......) But my question is about the phrase "controversial tenor" to you? What does that mean?
Ingemisco tamquam reus, Culpa rubet vultus meus, Supplicanti, supplicanti parce, deus. Qui mariam absolvisti Et latronem exaudisti, Mihi quoque spem dedisti. Mihi quoque spem dedisti. Preces meae non sunt dignae; Sed tu bonus fac benigne Ne perenni cremer igne. Inter oves locum praesta, Et ab haedis me sequestra, Inter oves locum praesta, Et ab haedis me sequestra, Statuens, statuens in parte dextra. Et ab haedis me sequestra, Statuens in parte dextra
Coloro che hanno storto il naso facendo confronti con Bjorling,altro grandissimo tenore, devono accorgersi che sono due tipi di voce totalmente all opposto, inutile fare un confronto a chi piace Di Stefano,Pavarotti etc .a con la voce di Corelli è una buona esecuzione, non potrà mai un tipo di voce essere paragonata a dei lirici anche quelli che in gergo si dicono spinti
Franco Corell was one of the all time great operatic tenors, but sorely out of place as an oratorio singer. My favorite recording of this aria is by Jussi Bjorling. Ordinarily opera singers do not sing oratorio or lieder, but the Verdi Requiem is a huge work on an operatic scale, but stil requires the soloist to take it down a notch. Bjorling was one of the few opera singers equally at home on the recital stage as he was at the Met.
Every entry for this piece of music finds you pushing Bjoerling who was absolutely one of the greats in history and whose recording of this music is at the top of the list...BUT, as to your complaint about too much emotion...First of all, this is Verdi, the musical spokesman for Italian musical expression, second it is a funeral mass...what could require more emotion? Frankly thought this Corelli version is not my all time favorite it is one of them, along with Bjoerling. and Carreras and Fabiani. I think you need to ease up and enjoy the music!
Well Tom you cant blame Sven for pushing the great JB. This one JB is my favourite but Corelli is damn close. From my point of view JB and Corelli are the greatest.
@@francescomazzella5940 Ein Missverständnis: Kitsch bezieht sich auf diese überflüssige optische Präsentation, zumal Corelli zwar der schönste Mann, aber ein schlechter Schauspieler ist. Ja, und er singt wie immer alles straigt durch, vielleicht am Ende mal ein piano oder ein messa di voce. All die dynamischen Vortragszeichen, die Verdi verlangt, beachtet er, wie 90% seiner Kollegen nicht. Sie machen alle eine Bravour-Arie daraus, wo es um CULPA geht. Am ehesten bei Verdi ist Fritz Wunderlich.
