Franco Corelli - Tu che a Dio spiegasti l'ali (Lucia di Lammermoor)

[@joseleobardoromeroperez3898]

Siempre grandioso, Franco Corelli, tenor spinto heroico y una gran interpretacion qué hubo algunas nó críticas por esta ópera en esoecial, péro era grandioso y esta aria tan hermosa con su temperamento muy especial hace palidecer a cualquier otro tenor incluyendo a un grandioso Florencio Constantino qué cantó ests Aria con mucha emotividad, contrario Franco lo hace con un frio por el final de la historia, un gran y muy especial tenor, siempre superando a Franco corelli. Mi admiracion y solo elogios para el tenor más grandioso de todos los tiempos. Gracias por subir esta aria, felicidades.

A true jewel. Looked for it all over internet and you saved me. Thank YOU!

[@MrOperaTenor]

My pleasure!

[@andrzejzborowski4920]

A true jewel would have sung in original pitch, not half tone lower...

[@marlenehartley7742]

What a find! I didn’t know Franco ever recorded this aria

[@antoniomaurogiovanni1276]

C'è uno spartiacque per la Lucia,prima e dopo Corelli : il grande Franco la cantò solo una volta e da allora Edgardo è alla Corelli.Tutto il mondo ci invidia Franco Corelli, la più grande voce di sempre.

Welcome!

[@tenorschofield]

BRAVISSIMO!!!

[@verenagiulianelli5878]

Capisco che per un lirico spinto come lui non fosse ideale, ma capperi che Edgardo!!! La sensualità del suo colore, anzi dei suoi colori, che ne aveva infiniti, la sua tecnica precisa e la sua naturale soverchiante musicalità potevano benissimo sopperire e qui lo dimostra in pieno, peccato veramente non abbia mai più fatto una Lucia. Eterno Corelli ❤️

[@chengducat]

It's true. Some are better suited to the role than others. Vive la difference

[@trudischleifer7245]

Gorgeous

[@cosimodeangelis3440]

Super Operatenor you are a truly hero

[@MrOperaTenor]

Thanks.. I just thought that people would love to hear Franco’s rendition of this aria!

[@ИринаКлеванская-д1с]

Лучший Эдгардо ❤❤❤❤

[@SpecialtyHorseTraining]

I can hear the tears in his voice.

[@analemosferreira2842]

Maravilhoso!

[@sigmaexperience7876]

In effetti, qui Corelli dimostra grandi capacità anche in parti non 'sue'. Resta tra i più grandi in assoluto di tutto il 900. Trattasi inoltre di un abstract da un'opera, e non di mera esibizione.

[@carmen-marianamitrea6175]

Je comprends pourquoi Franco Corelli n'a pas voulu remettre ça. En effet, sa voix était trop somptueuse, trop forte et fine à la fois pour cet aire.Mais, comme toujours, il a fait le maximum ❤

[@isaiasgaminosanchez8616]

Ah!!!!!!!!!! Pero que chingoneria 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 👏👏👏

[@joaquimcevallosmorales8944]

He is really struggling with the passaggio - I can see why he was not pleased with the result. Still, it's Corelli!!!

[@atizaries5512]

The best Edgargo ever

[@leslieepstein4700]

He was scheduled to do at least one more performance and sang the first act of the second performance (with Gail Robinson), cancelled the rest of the performance (replaced by John Alexander), and never sang the role again.

[@brunoantony3218]

Do you know why?

[@leslieepstein4700]

@@brunoantony3218 Sorry. I was at both performances but it's been 50 years and I cannot remember the reason given for his cancellation. Probably said he became indisposed, but, of course, you cannot always take a statement like that at face value.

[@chriggsiii]

@@brunoantony3218 A reason was not given, specifically. I remember some of the announcement, as I was there also. Keep in mind that the second night had Gail Robinson, making her Met debut as Lucia (she did very well). The announcement went something like "Mr. Corelli was not feeling very well, but did not wish to cancel because of the importance of the evening to his young colleague. However he has now had to withdraw. John Alexander will replace Mr. Corelli for the rest of the performance. Thank you for your attention." And the groan was deafening! I missed the first performance with Peters, and I was looking forward to Corelli singing my favorite aria, Fra poco, for weeks. Crushing. Yes, I knew Corelli was already past his prime, but I still went to his performances often, as he was still capable of doing some magic.

[@petergraham8681]

It is interesting how Corelli‘s career trajectory manifested itself. As his instrument matured he tried out some, for him, lighter roles more suited to a standard lyric tenor. These assumptions were impressive at times but nevertheless did not, IMO, represent his unique spinto timbre at its finest. I am thinking here of the role of Edgardo which I heard sometime ago but generally well sung as it is I would prefer a timbre of a Carreras, Pavarotti, or Bergonzi. This is a personal opinion, however, I wonder whether, even in the Corelli of the 1950s, roles like Edgardo might have suited other tenors better. Why Corelli made some changes like this in his later repertoire I never inquired about but I wish he had followed through in taking on OTELLO. Various reasons for that & his well known nervousness may have been one of them.

[@giuseppecuscani4409]

Nessuno mai potrà cantare questa opera come il divin Di Stefano!

[@MrOperaTenor]

Di Stefano is indeed best in this aria!

[@judithbereczky4114]

But also Giuseppe Campora.

[@BaroneVitellioScarpia1]

Preferisco Corelli, Di Stefano e Gianni Raimondi.

[@brunoantony3218]

Nah, listen to Schipa, Kraus and Carreras.

[@BaroneVitellioScarpia1]

@@brunoantony3218 Pavarotti is better than Carreras, Hadley is better than Kraus.
