Franco Corelli - Greatests High Notes LIVE

[@nthdegree1269]

Diminuendos for such a large powerful brilliant voice is rare, very rare. He was able to do many of them live. The one at the end of the Celeste Aida is astounding, such a high risk.

[@TenoreMr]

He used to sing for hours with Lauri Volpi if I remember correctly.

[@PinaOliva-dp1ig]

Mi commuove ogni volta ma non posso fare a meno di riascoltare la sua bella voce. Possente impetuosa eppur gentile. Piena di emozioni che trasmette. ❤❤❤❤

[@leonoradelagardie]

The greatest voice there ever was! And on stage he was unequalled in interpretation, acting, connection with the audience. Bravo Franco! You will live forever!

[@thisisit8735]

Interpretation sadly no

[@laoniricArte1]

Franco Corelli, was not a machine to produce High Notes was also an Great Master of -phrasing and pianissimo- in his voice an artist dedicated to improving and conduct their voice to suit the requirements of the various works and composers him, has worked hard in that sense and the result was Marvelous* is difficult to handle a mighty voice and he was the only one who managed the sweetness and lightness unthinkable for the voices of great size and power Many Thank for this souvenir!

[@giovic9802]

[@tenorschofield]

MERAVIGLIOSO!!!;GRANDISSIMO FRANCO CORELLI!!!

[@FacePaster]

If you read the biography Prince of Tenors you see that Corelli had an almost religious devotion to the belief that he can make his voice do what he wants it to do, and worked fanatically to be able to achieve that goal. Maybe no other tenor born with so much talent worked so hard to continuously improve his voice throughout his career.

[@jajwood]

Corelli in an interview with the Met said that when he was young and taking vocal lessons, one of this profs. tried to convince him that he might think about becoming a baritone. Corelli exclaimed that he told him to get out and never took another voice lesson again. Can you imagine what would have been lost if he had listened....... Poliuto is unbelievable!!! I wonder if we will ever hear another tenor as this maestro?

[@luca200177]

Ascolto Corelli e tutti gli altri mi sfuggono. Grandissimo Artista!

[@SR-jx8yu]

Corelli was an amazing tenor ... just amazing

[@halitgulcan1711]

боже мой 😮😲😲 👀👀👀 Это лучший Радамес, которого я слышала. По мне - так и лучший Радамес в истории оперы.. И лучший Шенье, однозначно. И (не забыть) уж конечно лучший Каварадосси, ну это само собой... Но ведь и лучший Полиевкт, Дик, Tуридду. А какой Хозе, Манрико, Канио, Рауль, Гуальтьеро... А какой Calaf, mamma mia! - ни одна живая женщина не может остаться спокойной. да и не только женщина, думается В общем, хочу такого Рудольфа. И Ромео такого - хочу. Не современного (якобы оперного) задушенного пошлого микрофонного "нечто". А именно такого - героического, страстного, темпераментного, с его головокружительными верхами и гениальными воплями - о любви! 😊 Господи, и что за diminuendo 👀😍🤩🤗😇🙃 ааа а-а-а-а-а - а---а -- а --- а ---- aaaaaa) Все, я реально никого больше слушать не могу. Ни Pav, который уникум, конечно. ни MDM, который мой любимчик и вообще великолепен.. но ни даже изумительного Юсси.. Ни даже Caruso! великого Caruso, основу основ тенорового пения! Потому что при первах звуках голоса Corelli - для меня все отходят на второй план, исчезают в тени, рассыпаются в прах. И остаётся - Corelli и его голос. его персонажи, его пластика, динамика, красота, чувственность, щедрость, экспрессия, доброта. его энергия.. Есть лишь Corelli, только CORELLI, всегда - C O R E L L I! Как мы его пропустили, ведь это же гений, чистый гений ! Надо же, меня эмоции - обуяли, практически оду сочинила ) Но на самом деле, удивительное явление в оперном искусстве - гениальное творчество Franko Corelli ❤❤😊

[@lieliannenasgy2649]

Unico,magnifico e eccellente.

[@sugarbist]

Corelli had great facility in his upper register that extended up to D- flat, which was unusual for a tenor with such a large voice. He had a beautiful dark, warm quality to his voice with the capability to do diminuendo and mezza voce.Terrific!

[@salgenna]

sugarbist

[@daved3713]

Absolutely correct Sugarbist. The large voices tend not to have such high upper registers due to the volume through the middle. Corelli indeed was an exception.

[@Bulacio_Elias]

[@ctangkau]

Mr. Corelli: I was young and *didn’t know how to use my voice*. My vocal cords were unable to sustain the pressure to which I subjected them. Since I was very athletic, with a strong diaphragm, my voice’s birthright was great volume of breath and breath span. After three months of lessons with soprano Rita Pavoni, *I lost my voice*, and then for a period of three or four months I studied as a baritone. When I began, *my natural voice was not beautiful*. I had a strong voice, and people told me that was my best quality. Still, no one believed in me. I began to sing as a joke. A friend and I listened to records and sang for hours and hours, and that’s when I fell in love with singing. Before entering a competition, I had seen only two or three operas. I lost the competition because I *SCREAMING* too much but won the next one because I was in wonderful voice and my *SCREAMING* excited the judges. I was humble and studied for hours and hours, asking people what they thought about my voice and what were my mistakes, what were my worst notes, and if I could change them. I asked if I could change my vocal color, which I didn’t like. For three or four years I didn’t believe my career could continue, because, unlike today, the theater was full of wonderful voices. I began with a voice that *wasn’t so interesting*, but I tried to make it beautiful by infusing it with some sentiments, genuine and simple sentiments. *- Stefan Zucker interviewed Franco Corelli 11 times on "Opera Fanatic," on the Columbia University radio station, WKCR-FM, in New York, from 1990 to 1994. -*
