Franco Corelli sings Celeste Aida

[@susaedu368]

Corelli was PERFECTION. A gift from the Gods. Everything, from his voice to his body language and gestures, is beyond belief

[@Altonahh10]

The power and passion in Corelli´s voice are irresistible. And then there is that splendid technique. A voice to die for.

[@22Rossina]

Voce stupenda e stupendamente usata, ottima la presenza scenica e la capacità di trasmettere i sentimentali col canto e la postura, non esistono più tenori lirici acuti e drammatici di questa potenza, mi entusiasma sempre ascoltarlo , grazie.

[@mortalclown3812]

[@simone9355]

La miglior interpretazione. Il finale perfetto come Verdi avrebbe voluto! Grande Corelli

[@billsnyder6391]

Signing those heroic high notes, then floating those etherial high notes is not granted to many mortals. And here comes Corelli telling us how it should be done.

💖The Voice of Franco Corelli is so thrilling, powerful and beautiful, there is none around to compare with him. He is exceptional and unique. The Voice of Franco will never be equalled or surpassed by another's. Opera lovers should realise that he is the Perfect Italian Tenor...The Prince of Tenors. We still can listen to his amazing voice in Cds/DVDs & Videos... legacy he left behind for us. Every time I play his cds I feel he singing in my room. He is great!!!

[@desatormentandome]

He's PERFECT!!! Softening the last note is soooo difficult to achieve. .. but he does it perfectly. He makes it seem effortless, though a strict physical control is needed. He's wonderful!!!

[@Largo64]

Most tenors don't even try that diminuendo on the last note. I just listened to Pavarotti singing this, and he belted it.

[@user-bx7bm9xu1t]

Ye, very good diminuendo. but anyway I hear the moment of crossing passagio ;)

[@bencopeland4514]

There was a funny story about this diminuendo in the Jerome Hines book. I won’t give it away but it’s worth checking out.

[@sugarbist]

@@Largo64 I don't believe the diminuendo is written in the score. I think the Diminuendo is an option

[@Largo64]

@@sugarbist I haven't seen the score, but you're probably right. It probably is an option. I just think it's highly effective, especially considering how difficult it is.

[@littlewolf18]

Franco Corelli was in a class of his own. For me he was the greatest tenor I ever heard.

[@runhardhooah]

My father's father sang at the Met in a chorus group in some operas back during Corelli's timie, and he was there when he heard Corelli sing as well. He says the same thing. All you have to do is listen to the Verdi's Aida Highlights CD to hear his greatness in digitally remastered form. Corelli was also high-strung with anxiety issues. He was apparently always worried of losing his luster, which makes me personally admire the guy that much more.

[@towmlvb3423]

Franco Corelli IS in a class of his own. He IS the greatest tenor we can hear today. That's even with the comparative disadvantage of recording technology that has progressed exponentially since his death.

[@sugarbist]

@@towmlvb3423 There was nothing wrong with the recording technology in the 1960s and 70s. I remember Corelli's first L.P. release circa 1960 before his debut at the Met in 1961 in Trovatore. He sang Spirto Gentile, A Te O Cara, Recondita armonia, E Lucevan Le Stelle, Celeste Aida, Un Di Alla Zurro Spazio and Come Un Bel Di Di Maggio. I don't remember the other selections on the L.P. but the recording was very clear and in good sound. The CDs sometimes distort the sound and they seem artificial.

[@Katydid249]

Incredible voice and delivery. Also very handsome man If you like others better Give the proper respect to a truly gifted tenor. I like Pav and the Spanish guy a lot. But Corelli is truly great

Il si bemolle di Corelli è qualcosa di impressionante. In questa interpretazione, poi, altrettanto notevoli sono il modo in cui smorza l'acuto finale e quello in cui riattacca "Celeste Aida" dopo "vicino al sol" (con un fiato solo, laddove molti altri tenori aggiungono un "oh" per poter respirare). Che dire? Giù il cappello!

I respect others but to me Corelli is the best

[@sabbath7081]

The great thing about opera singers is everyone has their own interpretation and it's whoever's interpretation you like the best. What I like about Corelli is he uses all of his strengths to the best of his abilities and doesn't worry about the flaws, for that it makes him human and real which I respect more.

Con todo respeto creo que no hay tenores como a principios y mitad del siglo 20, nos encontramos con gran cantidad de buenas voces que salen a escena antes de tiempo sin la misma preparación de antaño. Por querer ser los n°1 se desgastan en poco tiempo y peor algunos por abordar cosas que no son para ellos se desgañitan y se rompen. Siempre con la esperanza de que surjan pero por ahora hay 4 o 5 realmente grandiosos.

Nowadays nobody has it. Listen to Kaufmann - horrible!

[@sugarbist]

@@Altonahh10 In an interview here on YT with Stefan Zucker, Corelli claims that he was born with the Mezza voce and diminuendo. I don't believe the diminuendo is written in the original scorein Aida, but not sure. Also there is a mezza voce in CheGelida Manina in the original score in pitch on the ''Talor Dal Mio Forziere'' where the Talor should be a B-flat in mezza voce`. The only tenor I ever heard sing it is Lauri Volpi. I believe Kaufman was a sincere singer but never mastered his peculiar middle voice . Too Bad

Laida non mi è mai piaciuta ma da quando ho riscoperto Corelli e la sua interpretazione di questa opera l'ho rivalutata. Corelli trasmette tutto ciò che ha dentro e fa diventare magnifica anche questa opera. Meraviglioso. ❤❤❤

[@pwg510]

Io la comprendo. Quando ero molto giovane, pur essendo mio padre violinista, mi piacevano solo alcune Opere (Rigoletto, Trovatore, Il Barbiere di Siviglia, L'Italiana in Algeri, L'elisir D'Amore) e vari brani di altre. Poi continuando ad ascoltarne sempre altre, anche all'Opera, ho cominciato a capire ed apprezzare quelle più realmente drammatiche. Non amavo Norma, ma da quando l'ho ascoltata in Teatro e poi dai dischi, tuttora mi commuovo al finale, e apprezzo ogni sfumatura dell' intero capolavoro di Bellini. Lo stesso è successo con AIDA: pian piano sono rimasto affascinato dai passaggi più intensi! Il duetto fra Aida e Amneris potrebbe essere recitato da Joan Crawford e Liz Taylor! E che dire de "Il ballo in maschera"? Ascolti su KZbin il duetto d'amore fra Riccardo (Corelli) e Amelia: quando lui canta "o qual soave brivido" lo fa sentire davvero un brivido a chi ascolta, specie le prime volte!

Growing up, there were so much about the famous three tenors Pavarotti, Domingo, and Carreras. I’m not trying to insult them, but I never responded to their tonality. But I was always curious about opera so I kept listening to different pieces. I just assumed though that I didn’t care for tenors. Then about 20 years ago, I purchased a compilation and it had Mr. Corelli’s “Di quell a pira” and suddenly might take on offer change! So I will always be fond of him for variety of reasons. To this day, I’ve never been much of a fan of Pavarotti, but some of the over tenors such as DeStefano, Kraus, And Delmonaco, are my favorites to listen to. But Corelli will always be my favorite.
