Heard Corelli at the Met. He was the most EXCITING tenor I ever heard. When the lights went down and the performance was about to start you could almost FEEL the audience inching forward in their seats in anticipation. The only other singer I associate this with is Birgit Nilson
Corelli, mio amato io ti ascolto continuamente non mi stanco mai, la tua voce bellissima , la tua presenza scenica mi rendono felice, sei nel mio cuore
He has the gift of “overtone”singing. Breathing he opens his mouth and it streams. He has it very pronounced, rather rare. He sings without any effort.
@@2ni2808Паваротти лирический тенор, мне кажется не очень здесь подходит, а Ланца вообще не оперный певец, хотя голос у него оперный, кто же спорит. Вообще удивляет, что поклонники Ланца постоянно сравнивают его с Корелли. Марио Ланца никогда не работал на оперной сцене, исполнение отдельных арий не считается.
Franco Corelli é único! Alia uma voz belíssima a um porte físico de galã e a uma musicalidade genial combinada a uma presença de palco soberba! Inigualável!!!
Bonjour je suis de votre avis c est mon ténor préfère il faut dire qu il y a a faire pour l egale' en voix unique et beauté physique et un formidable acteur bravo a l immortel étoile qui brille a jamais au firmament des Étoiles
DE ESOS MOMENTOS SUBLIMES,.... QUÉ PERFECTA CONJUNCIÓN DE ARTE, TALENTOS Y BELLEZA, DIOS MÌO....🎵🥀🎵💖❣☝️FRANCO CORELLI ES Y CALCULO QUE SEGUIRÁ SIENDO UN TENOR INSUPERABLE, TENOR DE TENORES. Gracias
Por Dios Qué maravilla!!!!! adoro esta aria y adoro a Corelli!!!!!!.....Me pregunto qué haría ese público si escuchara a los tenores de juguete que dan vueltas por el mundo sin llegarle a Corelli ni a un centímetro de la suela del zapato!!!!!.....En todas partes y en todas las épocas se cuecen habas!!!! GRACIAS MAESTRO POR HABER EXISTIDO Y HABERNOS DEJADO TESTIMONIOS COMO ESTE!!!!
Franco rispetta i segni dinamici della partitura prendendosi notevoli "rischi". Per questo è amatissimo dal suo pubblico che lo adora proprio perchè così facendo il personaggio che sta interpretando risulta definito e centrato in ogni sua caratteristica. Inarrivabile Corelli!!!
This is absolutely fantastic singing. By far the best Corelli has ever sang in my personal experience, both in terms of flowing cantilena, & musicality. The phrasing is very very familiar to me, - Franco has obviously spent much time listening to Caruso's version, the only one superior in voice & phrasing to this. Marvelous. I never thought I'd live to hear another tenor come so close to the great Enrico in this aria. If it had been bigger voiced, it could almost have been him.
To conclude with dignity, this is the most beautiful live video recording of Corelli. Very interesting for those who are interested in perfect vocal technique. God made human being knowing that some of them would never be able to understand truth and beauty. It is a pity
¡¡¡QUE GRANDE, Y SIN EXAGERAR, EL MAS GRANDE DE TODOS!!! ESTILO UNI- CO, PERSONALIDAD INDISCUTIBLE. REALMENTE UN GRANDE CON MAYUS- CULAS. ¡¡¡HAY FRANCO QUE GRANDE Y MARAVILLOSO QUE ERES!!!
+James Morse The quality that defines & unites all the truly great singing voices, - is that while they are singing any aria in their vocal prime, they can make you forget all other tenors versions in that moment. I can appreciate all the greatest voices in all fachs, & admire the unique tonal beauty & vocal characteristics of each, - without ever feeling the need to decide for myself or others, let alone declare publically, that any one of them is the greatest of all. When tenor John McCormack saw Caruso in the lobby of the hotel they were both staying in one morning, McCormack said, - 'Good morning Enrico! - & how is the world's greatest tenor this morning?' - Without missing a beat, Caruso replied, - 'And since WHEN, John, did you become a baritone?' People of truly prodigious talent who are secure enough in their own gifts, have not the slightest difficulty in acknowledging, admiring & applauding that of others. Caruso loved the sweetness of McCormack's lyric tenor. Bjorling tried to imitate Caruso, until someone warned he would lose his own voice. Tagliavini emulated Gigli's timbre. Pavarotti wished he had more of the bright silver timber of Bjorling. & Domingo & Pavarotti simply shook their heads in amazed disbelief at what Caruso could do. Richard Tauber envied Wagnerian tenor Kurt Taucher. The great thing, though, for the rest of us, is that we can appreciate them all without having to rank them.
James Morse Caruso, Lanza and Corelli, these tree great tenors are standards by which greatness is measured. I was age 19 or 20 when Lanza was launched into greatness, but I was in my early 30s when Franco the Magnificent drove Met fans into frenzy: Corelli’s voice is magic, magnificent, beyond being encapsulated by mere words!!!
Thanks for posting this. It's very educational to view these singers from the golden era. Corelli is singing with no tension. Something so rarely seen today in opera due to the way in which singers are taught. Yet it is important to note that this was early on in his career. At any rate, what a wonderful thing to behold. Much can be learned both artistically and vocally.
Purtroppo per noi che siamo ancora qui, sono chi prima chi dopo tuti saliti in cielo. Bastianini (morto nel 1967 a 44 anni), poi Christoff (nel 1993), Corelli (nel 2003). E per ultima anche la Tebaldi ci ha lasciato nel 2004. La Forza del 1958 di Napoli è un documento che purtroppo ci può dare solo un'idea delle emozioni che in teatro trasmettevano Artisti con la A maiuscola. L'interpretazione, la dinamica e la morbidezza negli acuti... Grazie Franco, grazie per averci commosso con la tua voce.
All there is to say is... "all bow to the king". Never in the history of operarecordings has there been a tenorvoice to match the voice of Franco Corelli.
È un privilegio ascoltare questa voce sublime. Quest'occasione così difficile interpretato con forza e con tutto il sentimento necessario. Che bravo. Brividi. Grazie Verdi e grazie Corelli. ❤❤
You explain his amazing singing much better than I could. This audience's reaction is a complete surprise to me, I saw him many times (in the USA), and the audiences adored him.
un plagio que hico yo "LEGENDARY VOICE! "La vita è inferno all'infelice... Invano morte desio!... Siviglia! ... leonora! Oh rimembranza! oh notte Ch'ogni ben mi rapisti! Sarò infelice eternamente... è scritto. Della natal sua terra il padre volle Spezzar l'estranio giogo, a coll'unirsi All'ultima degl'lncas la corona Cingere confidò. fu vana impresa! In un carcere nacqui; m'educava Il deserto; sol vivo perché ignota È mia regale stirpe! ... I miei parenti sognarono un trono, E li destò la scure!... Oh, quando fine avran le mie sventure! O tu che in seno agli angeli Eternamente pura Salisti bella, incolume Dalla mortal iattura, O tu che in seno agli angeli Salisti bella pura Non iscordar di volger Lo sguardo a me tapino, Che senza nome ed esule In odio del destino, Che senza nome ed esule In odio del destino, Chiedo anelando, ahi misero, Chiedo anelando, ahi misero, La morte d'incontrar..: . Leonora mia, soccorrimi, Leonora mia, soccorrimi, Pietà, pietà, pietà, Del mio penar. Leonora soccorrimi, Pietà, del mio penar. Leonora mia, Pietà, pietà, del mio penar. Soccorrimi, pietà, de me"
There is a recording on here of him sing Ah si ben mio at the met, he was booed. He then followed with Di quella pira, Noone booed then. Opera crowds are a funny bunch!
I first heard this magnificent voice and saw this gorgeous man in 1963. HE IS THE MOST UNDERRATED TENOR OF OUR TIME. Never a scandal, Loretta was always there for him. He was so humble with the great gift God gave him. Primo, Primo Tenore.
The definitive live version. Unmached. And people, please, stop comparing the new tenors with Corelli and MDM. It´s just not the same subject. A simple phrase that resumes this kind of discussion; "The worst of Corelli and MDM is better than the best of the new tenors." And that´s it.
Such a shame that we so so many of Corelli's later recording on RU-vid and so few of the early ones. In his recordings from the 70's he is amazing in the late 50's early 60's he was a class above even that!
Najzaujimavejsie na tom celom je ze Ziaden americky tenor sa na coreliho nechyta ani keby si pred ustami drzal ten velky cestarsky kuzel co davaju na cestu ked asfaltuju. Ani pierce ani ten plesaty zid ani nik iny
Galleggiare sul fiato e mettere un Si b con l impegno di un Sol oltre ai suoi mitici suoni filati e ' stato di pochi cantanti Ma continuo a dire che Lui come la Callas trasfigurava l aspetto vocale in qualcosa di inspiegabile Dentro c era qualcosa di diverso , un fascino unico e irripetibile Poi gli anni del rigore e con l ausilio dei grandi direttori dell epoca , facevano il resto
having been the victim of these claques in Spoleto many years ago, I can tell you they are not fun. However, I believe what I hear someone shouting from the audience is "un fenomeno" (a phenomenon). No matter, this is pure Corelli, the best in my opinion.
Come sarebbe bello poter aver tanti video come questo, o magari a colori, delle recite di quel tempo. E invece pochissime registrazioni sfocate e in bianco e nero. A quel tempo c'era tanta pellicola per fare innumerevoli filmetti da quattro soldi, ma non ce n'era per registrare giganti come Callas o Corelli. Che cosa inconcepibile.
Corelli fue muy Humilde siempre. El se Declaraba Admirador de Del Mónaco. Al Cual lo Reconocia, Superior a el. Además, dice su Biografía, que Corelli, Estudiaba la Técnica de Del Mónaco. Quien tenía una Potencia y Caudal Vocal, que Casi Sobrepasaban la Lógica Humana!!!!! En Resumen: Del Mónaco Corelli!!!!! Corelli del Mónaco!!!! Los 2 Gigantes!!!!!!! Y en una Dimensión!!!! Muy apartada de los demás. En el Funeral de Del Mónaco, Corelli fué uno de los que ayudóa Cargar el Ataúd! Y en un Momento se Detuvo, y a voz en Cuello Declaró : A Muerto, el MAS GRANDE!¡! De Todos Nosotros!!! ( Los Tenores)
