Franco Corelli - La vita e inferno

La forza del destino de Giuseppe Verdi
Nápoles 1958

To think critics were so divided on him while he was singing, and now we would sacrifice a lot to hear voices like his in opera houses today.

Вообще удивляет, что поклонники Ланца постоянно сравнивают его с Корелли. Марио Ланца никогда не работал на оперной сцене, исполнение отдельных арий не считается.

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.

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!!!

[@hiyadroogs]

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.

[@jamesmorse7837]

I don't care about the purists, surely Corelli is the greatest tenor in recorded history. Absolutely magnificent.

[@photo161]

+James Morse There is a name for the fools who fail to recognize the incomparable greatness of Corelli, and the name is not purist!

[@hiyadroogs]

+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.

[@luismanuel-tena]

James Morse I am with you all the way. It is clearly an operatic manly tenor voice with great stamina and strong as hell. Bravooooo

[@Tadpoletofrogs]

Caruso.

[@davidsolomon8203]

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!!!

[@jrrujrnfjfuf6212]

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!¡!

[@MrNeilsy]

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.
