The singing of Franco Corelli is not from the Earth. We in Vienna we are also Franco Corelli enthusiasts forever. We became older, and we are asking ourselves, if the next generation and further generations will be such opera lirica fanatics as we are? Greetings from Vienna, we highly appreciate your enthusiasm.
Merci pour ce beau partage . Micheline Banzet qui mene ici l'interview etait une des fondatrices de la prestigieuse " France Musique " Elle avait parallelement une carriere de violoniiste . Elle anima par la suite des emissions culinaires a la television . On entend bien que Franco etait un homme tres courtois, gentil et simple . Merci encore pour ce document .
Corelli had one of those speaking voices that was so different from his sinking voice. His speaking voice doesn't sound as if he could handle :: "Vittoria !" "VITTORIA !" Like Arroyo having the sweetest speaking voice and then singing that horrible opera _Turandot._
Corelli was born in 1921, and here it says that he's a little bit over 30 years old. So, they are joking, been ironic or the interview is from the 50s.
Neither. For his debut in Paris he simply decided to claim to be 10 years younger. I'm copying here my reply I wrote to another commenter under a '62 interview where similar thing happened: It was a peculiar habit of his to deny years of his age whenever he could, not out of vanity, but as a psychological tactic against critics. Along the lines of "A tenor is as old as he sounds" - since people's perceptions are influenced by their preconceptions, if they knew his real age (given that he really did start his career quite late, at 30), they might notice signs of decline in his voice even where there's none. Also from an article in Le Monde, June 5, 1964: Né à Ancône en 1931, grand, mince et musclé comme un athlète du décathlon, Corelli a la prunelle de velours, le sourire charmeur et les traits voluptueusement mâles de son compatriote Rudolph Valentino. (Born in Ancona in 1931, tall, slim and muscular as a decathlon athlete, Corelli has the velvet eyes, charming smile and voluptuously male features of his compatriot Rudolph Valentino.)
@@FrancoCorelliInfoCenter Very interesting interview and also because of the description of Corelli's wife, who I have heard always traveled with him. In general, if one is already a little insecure, as most artists are, it would be good to have a partner in life who might have a calming or reassuring influence on his or her spouse. As for age. Time waits for no man, but in the opera world it is an unfortunate fact that most theaters hire the young looking and if one is older, but still looks good one is forced to embellish the truth when it comes to age. However, as long as the voice retains a youthful quality age shouldn't matter!
Last week I ve listened to Romeo et Juliette by Gounod. Live-Stream from the Met. Benjamin Bernheim as Romeo Was excellent and I compared him to Gedda Kraus Björling Vanzo Alagna and of course to our Franco, too.......btw, excellent channel
L'intervieweuse ne semble pas avoir soigneusement fait ses recherches en lui demandant si il lui arrivait d'avoir peur d'étrangler un peu trop fort par exemple Desdémone. Corelli n'a jamais chanté Otello sur scène.

I totally didn’t know that Corelli spoke french!
I didn't know partially, not totally.
Corelli non ha mai cantato Otello. Anche perche' c'era Del Monaco......
Cette "intervieweuse" n'a qu'un seul rêve : être elle-même interviewée....
)) точно
Ovviamente Franco legge le risposte...
Meistersinger
Lei parla più di Corelli.
Elle parle trop - trop.
