RARE! Tebaldi & Corelli in concert: Hong Kong, Nov 27, 1973

Re-sharing this rarity: a concert that happened exactly 50 years ago. The recording was made and originally published by the organizer, professor Lo King-man, who generously presented it on Hong Kong's Radio 4 in February 2022, in celebration of Tebaldi's centenary. The concert was not originally scheduled as part of Tebaldi and Corelli's 1973 tour of the Far East, but this extra stop was added at the persuasion of Lo-King Man, who negotiated with the stars a slightly shorter than usual program at a reduced fee.

[@guycondroyer864]

Quelle merveille à 3h du matin, Franco m'apporte un bonheur inconnu venu de Hong-Kong et Renata donne encore une grande émotion ‼️‼️

[@Melomanka1964]

Corelli and Tebaldi! Endless admiration. Your video is a gift for everyone who listens to the finest opera in the world, who loves and adores Italian opera. Thank you very much!

[@SpecialtyHorseTraining]

I saw both of them in Andrea Chenier and got their autographs, Corelli three more times.

[@alfonsboehm4356]

Ich muss sagen, ich beobachte seit mehr als 50 Jahren die internationale Opernbühne. Ich bin auch wirklich glücklich, daß ich in der Zeit ab den 1970er Jahren die weltbesten Tenöre live gesehen habe. Um nur einige zu nennen: Bergonzi , Pavarotti, Carreras, Domingo und noch viele mehr. Aber ich muß sagen, es gibt nur einen wirklich Jahrhunderttenor, und das ist eindeutig Franco Corelli. Auch wenn ich die Aufnahmen von den früheren großen Tenören anhöre, dann muss ich sagen, er ist und war für mich eindeutig der Beste. Ich danke Gott, dass ich diesen wunderbaren Sänger 2 mal live sehen konnte .

❤all these Fotos ❤ already this is the pleasure here ❤

[@mariasunefortich5404]

Buon Natale Grazie miille per le vídeos di mio caríssimo Franco Corelli ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@atr46]

Прекрасный концерт, два гениальных исполнителя, музыкальных, артистичных, не говоря о техничности пения, само собой подразумевающейся. Я ещё под впечатлением Гугенотов с Корелли и Симионато. Спасибо вам, друзья, за работу, за популяризацию оперы. Если бы сейчас были такие певцы

[@mariasunefortich5404]

Bellissimo ricordo Grazie mille❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@meisterwue]

Thanks for sharing.......❤wonderful pictures❤

[@andrealupini6769]

Renata Tebaldi é fra i pochissimi soprani che ha un suono largo di spessore maschile e nello stesso tempo ovviamente di intensa femminilità e quindi adattissima ad interagire con partner di grandissimo peso come Franco Corelli senza esserne sovrastata : sono due voci enormi che riempiono tutti gli spazi di un teatro ovviamente senza microfoni nascosti in ogni dove e sembrano nate per cantare insieme ! É un peccato che essendo stati quasi sempre le perle di due case discografiche diverse allora concorrenti non abbiano inciso insieme granché ... Saltarono tutti gli appuntamenti compreso un Adriana che avrebbero dovuto incidere insieme ma subentrò per cavilli contrattuali Mario Del Monaco , rimane un unico disco splendido di duetti con direttore Anton Guadagno con etichetta Decca pubblicato proprio nel 1973, dove danno ancora il meglio di loro stessi ! Bellissimo post questo !

This is historic , Bravooo❤❤❤❤

[@ianng9915]

As a hong konger born after that generation, what have I missed😂😢

[@mohsenarambon]

Thanks 👍💯

[@mohammadasgharkhah509]

Wonderful...♥️🌹

[@francescopiras5181]

Anche se la registrazione è quella che è la bravura di Corelli e della Tebaldi emerge chiaramente.

[@toscadonna]

Ooh, what a treat! Thank you!❤🎉❤

[@williamstadel6113]

I think Tabaldi was in love with Corelli. Just look at those pictures. 😊❤

[@kevin_rouchell]

Wonderful! Thank you!

[@ER1CwC]

Some mishaps in In solitaria stanza! I think that the pianist was not familiar with Tebaldi's 'special edition.' Other than that, Tebaldi and Corelli are both in excellent late form.

[@meisterwue]

34:20 ❤

[@lukasmiller486]

Do you think you could upload the live performance of him and Anna Moffo in Romeo et Juliette?

[@FrancoCorelliInfoCenter]

Hartford, 1967 (their only Romeo et Juliette recorded) is on KZbin already: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIfLm2WJpq-iptU

Eek. Corelli sounds terrible.
