Franco Corelli sings "Addio alla Madre" from Cavalleria

[@PaoloTambone]

Tenori di oggi o presunti tali ascoltate e studiate a lui non arrivere forse fra 2000 anni grande frsnco😢🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Сергій-ч9ш]

Да,его певческий тон явно предпочтительнее многих других,но мы с ним разобрались и ваше замечание верно,но тенора часто глупы,как ёжики,а Корелли все таки был инженером инженером и очень гармоничной личностью ,что большая редкость в этой сфере,насыщенной психиатрическими клиентами.Он явно недооценен и к нему ещё придут.

[@numetutelare]

Il verismo cantato con le regole del "belcanto"... morbidezza, sentimento, voce sul fiato e tristezza ...

[@joelweisberg]

Corelli was the strongman of the tenors. At 6’1 200lbs, he was gigantic compared to the others. He was a linebacker with a great voice. His “Quel vino” is riveting yet tender. I can imagine the thrill it must have been to see him live with really good seats.

What a tenor, voice that connects, deeply touching, so called golden era grand operatic!!! Thank You.

[@IvanoFontana-rg6sl]

Grande vocalità, gran timbro, dizione perfetta e limpida...

[@gemmadestate3216]

Ma quando mai si é ascoltato un Turiddu più calato nel personaggio:Corelli presta la sua duttile e meravigliosa voce e il suo approccio fisico a sentimenti come la paura, la quasi certezza che finirà male, la preghiera a Dio e alla madre, il senso di colpa verso Santa,la "balentia "da rispettare comunque...Interprete sublime anche nel repertorio verista (sentitelo anche in Pagliacci)

[@tehen162]

Yes, exactly. As he said in an interview: "The singer's life cost me a great deal. I was full of apprehension and mad at everyone. I was a bundle of nerves, I wasn't eating or sleeping."

[@Labienus]

It's always refreshing to drink in that sound-there was a 10 year period or so when it was simply astounding The many times I heard him live you knew-even in that era of other great tenor voices -you knew you were witnessing operatic history always the excitement of going to one of his performances on any given night he could out do even himself a performer who went for broke took real risks all that coupled with his appearance was a power that few performer ever had

[@wisdomoftheearlychristians2037]

@@marjorieallworth6172 yes, she had cancer. She made me promise I would sing,"Mama" for her, at her wake. ( The Connie Frances arrangement)), because she always had me sing it to her when I was young. My grandfather taught me all of the old Italian songs. Well. I did it, but I waited until it was just the two of us alone, with my sister there. And we both sang it. One of the hardest things I've ever done.

I've never belonged to the cult of Corelli that considers him the greatest tenor, but his performance here is breath taking: powerful, emotional, pitch perfect. A marvelous performance, grande finish - and a wonderful actor. A truly great performance.

[@judithimbassahy3813]

Sublime

[@sabbath7081]

I wish there was another one but people like that don't exist today. Family pressure and the obsession of pure northern italian people had for perfection and to be the best at the hardest thing. Even if they were good they thought they were the worst untill performance time. Then its a matter of survival under the spot light, no speakers or pickups just the voice operating on adrenaline, angsiety, self hate, and the fear of not being the best. There's no time to think like that nowadays.

[@halitgulcan1711]

What a voice color it is! Can anybody with this voice color come to earth again?

[@lucillebonds4332]

Halit Gulcan in God's time!!!

[@ursmue1937]

Halit Gulcan , yes, Mario Lanza.

[@Jeff4014]

Only Mario Lanza had more beautiful voice, he had a unique color voice.

[@halitgulcan1711]

I also love ML very much! Me and my mother watched his films with joy along time ago. What makes FC more attractive only for me perhaps the uncommon darkness of a tenor voice and shining in high notes! Another tenor of today has an extraordinary vibration. You can observe it but I can not judge his talents,because I am not a music professional!

[@halitgulcan1711]

I am not a music professional also! I adore Mario Lanza because of my mother. Later someone warned me to listen to Franco Corelli if I cared voice color. I listen to both but it is somewhat different "Di quella pira" with Franco Corelli. This is completely my opinion! I do not ignore Mario Lanza especially his excellent films!

@adremoid Very sharp the evaluation of Kraus and Corelli. Both artists worked very hard to develop their superior techniques. Always striving for that unreachable goal, the perfect voice. They shared two roles, Werther and Romeo e Juliette. Corelli had all the atributes for the complete tenor.

Vi siete scordati che parliamo di "epoche" diverse? Ogni epoca ha avuto i suoi grandi. Come puoi paragonare Caruso a Corelli o Gigli a Del Monaco...come confrontare la Callas con la Patti o la Melba. Erano tutti bravi e oggi ce li sognamo!

CSODÁS CORELLI.....

[@CuteMcBeauty]

I would have married him and had had loads of his babies... Hopefully one of them would have inherited some of his skill and beauty!!!

[@majelladrouet6028]

I'm fascinated by the fact that Corelli could hunch his shoulders when singing because he was super fit. That sound is impossible from a normal body, isn't it, without the stereotypical opera pose of chest puffed out, shoulders back and arms splayed like in cartoons? I think perhaps it's his fault opera singers aspired to act, so they lost the sound.

[@giorgiogalloni7012]

Dove sono i tenori oggi ????

[@primobaritono]

There were others before Corelli who set the bar just as high and higher.

[@matejknezevic6989]

primobaritono This is not true. Only one who could compare whit corelli is gianni savelli

[@lucillebonds4332]

primobaritono are you one of them?

[@vilabreze]

Franco Corelli is magnificent as ever! Beautiful! What year is this from and who's Mamma Lucia?

[@stevevandien310]

Some critics found fault with Corelli during his career . They said he was too loud, held his acuti too long, was self-centered onstage, erc. My take: A great Iralian tenore di forza, with one of the great tenor voices, and which he largely trained by himself; until (and beyond) he could sing a high B flat fff and diminueno to triple pp, while the tone remained vibrant, without using falsetto.

[@abracadabranque]

Franco Corelli sings "Addio alla Madre" from Cavalleria

[@Gopher31]

I am familiar with that interview - with Zucker i believe. he also says that he did not have a great voice a that time even though it was loud and exciting. I strongly recommend Jack Livigni's writings on the topic. he really has been able to shed some light on this technique and how it relates to the traditional technique. I am curious as to what makes Lauri Volpi and Melocchi technique similar? is it that they both advocate a low larynx?

[@stevevandien310]

Corelli's voice was both big and extremely vibrant. Given that AND limited ontemporary recording technology, he sometimes sounds a little sharp a little sharp and harsh in his studio recordings. He rarely sounds so on his live records -'

[@labienus9968]

I don't think recording techniques in the 1960s were "limited." I think his live recordings are better than studio for other reasons-and don't find him harsh or sharp.

[@penUltimateAudio]

[@horatiowigglesworth9295]

Genuine question here. Is he not miming/lip-synching to his own recording of this? Maybe it's just the black&white visual of it. Clearly, a giant of opera and power which leaves me amazed every time. So, not criticising here. Could have been several reasons for miming if that indeed was the case.
