Franco Corelli - Hamburg 1971

Silenzio Cantatore and Tu ca nun chiagne by Libero Bovio, Hamburg 1971

[@Irina0903]

One of the wonders of this world! The PERFECTION of the sound! For those who are able of recognizing it! For the others it is just sad! His way of singing is like a light that is so bright, so powerful and true that overcomes any shadow of the poor human mind! Thank you, Maestro!

The Best Ever The Best Forever

[@vilabreze]

Franco Corelli has always been my Mom's absolute most favorite opera singer of all times, she always called him Opera God. Mom passed away last week. She always wanted us to listen to Franco Corelli singing "Tu ca nun chiagne" when she's gone. I'm listening and feeling her right here with me.

[@frankfurter6561]

Such great coordination between larynx and diaphragm. That amazing thick ringing sound that travels forward with both depth and height. Tecnica di affondo = Bel canto

[@karlheinz9336]

Tecnica di affondo = canto vero , hat mit Bel canto nur bedingt etwas zu tun. Die Technik beruht schließlich auf Caruso und nicht Gigli ;)

[@Tkimba2]

La tecnica di affondo non esiste

[@tarektomei546]

Belcanto is a natural singing technique, affondo is innatural. Just think that Del Monaco needed to take lessons by another teacher (that gave him the Mask) meanwhile he was practicing with the melocchi technique (voice's depth). Corelli didn't bring much of Melocchi in his technique (see the pianissimo he can do). The little part of affondo he applied was then removed during lessons with his friend Lauri Volpi that gave him a full belcanto technique. The last 10 years of his career Franco had issues with the mask technique Volpi used to do in the high notes, so... He went again in the affondo, forced, singing, causing him more problems. And than we all know how he finished his career in Torre del Lago. Belcanto ≠ affondo

[@frankfurter6561]

@@tarektomei546 There's not such thing as a "natural singing technique" and the right technique has to be learnt and trained. That's why despite having musical skills and good voice, many singers never make it. And by the way "affondo" occurs with the correct jaw dropping so there's nothing strange about it and it should become a necessity for correct singing.

[@tarektomei546]

@@frankfurter6561 please forgive my incorrect english language. I didn't mean that natural. The jaw dropping should be moderated because the bright of the sound should be found thinking horizontal (automatically make vertical resonance without efforts). It's a vertical sound found passively. The affondo actively looks for a vertical sound by forcing diaphragm and larynx down. That is, in a phoniatristic point of view, correct. But many tensions occurs when you apply that. It is the cause of poor dynamics and declaratory tone. All these "Lacks" don't belong to the Franco's singin technique and style

[@feurzauber]

No, it was Pavarotti. Corelli actually worked hard to gain this voice, even if he was gifted like all the greatest. But the tenor with the best naturally beautiful and developped voice was Pavarotti, imo. It doesn't mean that he was better than Corelli OF COURSE.

[@corneliaspindler6714]

What do you try to spread...understandable reasons?

[@toscadonna]

@@corneliaspindler6714 Some people don’t like him due to all of the scooping he does. It’s a bad habit that actually weakens the singer when done too often. But I think it’s probably because he never had a regular teacher to yell at him and tell him to already be up and open before the higher notes like you’d see Birgit Nilsson do. That said, Corelli was amazing and all things wonderful. But for vocal technique, the scooping was as issue for many. It’s something I get yelled at for in lessons.

[@gerardmignon700]

Pourquoi les ténors actuels sont si inintéressants, et leurs voix si ordinaires aux timbres tous identiques. Ce qu'on entends là est d'une absolue beauté !

[@aristopus]

I first heard Franco at the Old Met about 1967, right before it was razed (most assuredly by people who didn't love opera the way I did). I was new to opera and didn't know what to expect. The opera was Romeo and Juliet by Gounod. Juliette was Mirella Freni. There are moments in life when we leave day to day consciousnesses and routines and go to a place of lasting memory. This was one of them. I sat in the Family Circle, way back where I liked to joke the usher has to give an oxygen mask. But it didn't matter one bit. I could hear Franco Corelli like he were a singing a few rows in front of me. And he didn't need a microphone! He was a big man and as handsome as any Hollywood actor. I was smitten and attended the Metropolitan for the next 50 years, at least once a year.

[@quandolamusicaeramagia6471]

Bel video,noi appassionati ringraziamo di cuore

[@Artiej0hn0]

The two songs above were performed as encores after a gala evening featuring Corelli and Freni singing part of the first act of La Boheme, followed by Franco singing parts of Act IV of Aïda with Cossotto and Ligabue with Nello Santi conducting, October 10, 1971. What an amazing event!

[@matejknezevic6989]

Jonas Wuermeling I listend them a live melchior 1 time and del onaco more than 20 times. They had collosal voices and very big one but on high notes Franco would roar above all others tenors ever in history. Only one who can compare in high notes is lauri volpi betwenn 1928-1941. But not in power,in vibrato which travell further than any other. Further than CORELLI. This is my opinion.

1962. My father took me down to NYC to see a Bergonzi lead La Boheme (can't remember the rest of the cast, I was only 11 1/2). Old Met house. Top of the evening. I got jostled in the crowd in the foyer and had the great privilege of stepping on Franco Correlli's foot. :) More importantly went to college in the New York City area and got to hear a lot of great sining at the met. Understand Corelli was actually very nervous and suffered pregame panic attacks quite often. Had to be tossed on stage more than once. Love Corelli. As to the contest between tenors. Pavarotti is from another sphere. Ice cube man. Never believed he was real on stage. Nobody can be that good. To me Luciano on stage was boring: too perfect. Both greats. Saw both whenever I got the chance.
