Pura passione travolgente! Da brividi e da lacrime!Corelli canta col cuore e si avverte in ogni momento! Grazie ARTISTA DIVINO, INSUPERABILE!

Yea year , I know hes not a french tenor. It will never be sung better. Corelli ,and Freni .

[@alanhowe1455]

On the contrary: singing is not a matter of sheer voice if the style is inappropriate. Corelli is just horrible in this repertoire.

My two favourite opera singers 😍💖

Not in this repertoire! This is not Italian verismo!

@@alanhowe1455 Finalmente un Romeo maschio e innamorato altro che verismo italiano.In questa parte si sono ascoltate e si ascoltano voci senza nerbo, calore e passione.E se poi la pronuncia non è perfetta ...ma chi se ne frega.

[@alanhowe1455]

@@sergiobuccianti4224 I care about style as well as voices. Corelli was a great tenor - but not in this repertoire. I repeat: this is not verismo!

Look for Kraus and Freni live. Stylistically superior and more accurate pronunciation... BUT Who cares? Corelli and Freni were close friends and they enjoyed singing together, always with true passion. What the heck! These were two super stars with status of opera legends. May their souls RIP.

[@giselamarch1994]

All you fault finders, perfectionist , why don't you, to put it politely, keep your criticism to yourself, and just listen

[@user-xg7mi7vm9l]

FANTASITICO! NON SOLO IL BRANO MA ANCHE LA BATTUTA!

[@marcomarchi9511]

Fuoriclasse, superlativi dal punto di vista strettamente vocale, ma la lingua... Peccato, soprattutto Corelli, anche stilisticamente non giusto.

[@natalinatollari9266]

Uffa questa critica!!!!!!! immensi ugualmente!!!!!!!

[@operabilia]

Impossible French enunciation, both of them. Too bad.

[@judithbereczky4114]

Don't exaggerate! Their voices are that counts.

[@alanhowe1455]

@@judithbereczky4114 Of course voices count, but so does the appropriate style for the chosen repertoire. Freni is more than acceptable, but Corelli sings like an Italian bull in a china shop. This is NOT verismo!

[@sunchong1043]

@@alanhowe1455 it's this kinda of thinking that has made classical music a historical reproduction instead of a living performance art. I feel sorry for you sir. The academics in all their arrogance have made opera and classical music an academic subject instead of it being the true international language that it is.

[@alanhowe1455]

@@sunchong1043 Well, this is supposed to be a French-style opera sung in French. So there's nothing wrong with hoping that one might hear recognisable French and recognisable French style instead of two Italians, especially Corelli, who think they're singing Puccini in Italian. Two great voices, but not in this repertoire.

[@sunchong1043]

@@alanhowe1455 you academic types have ruined "classical" music. That is reason why I left Eastman many years ago. keep on taking away the true communicators by making it an historically correct reproduction instead of a living breathing art form.
