- Franco Corelli sings "Ombra Mai Fu" the opening aria from the 1738 opera Serse by George Frideric Handel
Lyrics:
Frondi tenere e belle
del mio platano amato
per voi risplenda il fato.
Tuoni, lampi, e procelle
non v'oltraggino mai la cara pace,
né giunga a profanarvi austro rapace.
------
Ombra mai fu
di vegetabile,
cara ed amabile,
soave più.
(Lyrics are taken from en.wikipedia.or...)
Favolosa voce
...simply great!
It is hard to bear that Franco Corelli is not with us still, Voice of an angel, face of an angel.
He handled the opening recitative like no other, then his dynamic arc through the largo brought it home.
How can you not love a singer like Franco Corelli. One of the most beautiful voice of the 20th century. Thank you Italy for this gift to the whole world.
..you are right!
@@rogerengblom5061 Your world must be far away from the real one.
@@rogerengblom5061 I can and will accept that gladly. I would even love to argue and share my own thoughts in a friendly and constructive manner, because I'm interested in why people come to other ideas than me. It's a great way to learn and discover. But your comment doesn't sound like an expression of taste. It's not because you prefer other singers that this one doesn't have a beautiful voice. It's not because you find 15 singers you prefer more that they are necessarily "bigger artists". Your comment leaves no room for argument. You don't say who you prefer or why.
@@rogerengblom5061 That's a fine list. I can't see why you think Corelli's voice is "less natural", but that's up to you. I have to strongly disagree with Domingo however. To me he's not a great opera singer. Poor technique and he thinks he can sing everything, which is not the case. If you compare the same aria from Corelli (or another one of your list) and Domingo, you might understand what I mean.
Also, Mario Lanza never performed in an opera in his life. He's a Hollywood actor who sings. A good singer without a doubt, but not an opera singer. And I think you can hear and see that. He doesn't "feel" the aria's the same way as proper opera singers do.
@@rogerengblom5061 Share pls these 15 tenors, if I don’t know them, I’ll be happy to listen
Giving dislike to such a voice is an insult to humanity.
Agreed!
Perhaps the dislikes were for the interpretation, not the voice, which is unarguably great.
Just sayin'.
Yup. The internet is the Good, the Bad and the Philistine.
No way could anyone - repeat, ANYONE - even scholars, people with no hearing, dead people, etc. give the great Franco a 'down.' Are you CRAZY????? Unparalleled....even with any 'errors.' Repeat, unparalleled.
@@1earflapping Absolutely for interpretation only ... accessible but overwrought
I keep coming back to this, time and again. Exquisite.
Chant d'une grande beauté et d'une extrême élégance. J'ai eu le bonheur de l'entendre une fois sur scène, merveilleux Artiste
Corelli had it all - gorgeous tone, technical skill, dramatic expressivity and glorious good looks.
Walter Benjamin And his good looks are unparalleled!
Walter Benjamin As did del Monaco. I think the latter kept his looks to an older age. My! How the men did look like men at that time. Clean cut, smartly turned out. Even those who were a tad heavy looked quite good. Different voices but very hard for me to choose between the Corelli and del Monaco.
@@angebrowne1730 Don't choose. They both deserve your admiration. It's an art, not a competition. The urge of people to classify everything they encounter just limits their options.
You seem to enjoy beauty. That's what counts.
@@angebrowne1730 No need to choose. They are both the greatest and the most handsome tenors.
Yes!!!
Dear God! I remember hearing this man sing! At 85 y/o his wonderful voice is still ringing in my ears! How can anyone decry the greatness. God said there will be fools and here they are. When Corelli sang...the angels were there!!!!!!
He never sang at 85 yrs old
He passed at age 82.
@@philiptropea1012 They're mentioning their age not Maestro, Mr. Corelli's age.
❤️La verità é che non esistono parole davanti a così tanta bellezza❤️
Hai ragione
Exceptional, such natural talent,superb interpretation,unrivaled tenor.
Che bello di sentire questo brano cantato con tale virilità. Cambia tutto! E con la vera pronuncia italiana...Un bel uomo, un grandissima voce..
🙄gusti personalmente preferisco per le voci per cui è stata composta
Perché una voce virile dovrebbe dare più lustro a questa composizione? Io la preferisco di gran lunga con le voci bianche tipiche per questi repertori .
Nulla togliendo a Corelli ,per me il più grande tenore di tutti i tempi.
Qui è fuori stile totalmente, non è il suo repertorio, quest"aria deve essere cantata in modo molto intimo e misurato, però è apprezzabile l'impegno di una delle voci più belle del XX secolo
Già
@@silviamalibran9262 Just Corelli e niet'altro
Gorgeous and overwhelming.
Voice of an Angel..... to burst out in tears !!!!!!!
If you only ever listen to one piece of opera, it should be this....Sung by Corelli...,the perfect tenor.
Divine. Spectacular timbre.
Magnifique œuvre de franco !
Grazie Franco Corelli per ciò che ci hai lasciato il tuo immenso talento ha superato il creato sei lassù che ci guardi le tue interpretazioni rimarranno in eterno come divine ineguagliabili grande Maestro
Sweet orchestra music starts for the aria at 0:53 with it’s heartbreaking melody; Corelli’s incomparably beautiful voice, feeling and phrasing. We’re so fortunate to have had a Corelli to show the world what a tenor singer can bring to operatic music for generations.
Rien au dessus merci franco❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Corelli and Caruso brought life to each note of this heavenly created aria. How fortunate we are to have this recording for posterity!
My God! What a voice.
Grossly underrated voice very very little video of him around
Yes
@@albanvic ::
Maybe you're not looking hard enough. Corelli's voice may be many, many things, but "underrated" isn't anywhere near accurate. This guy's voice excited the world of the operatic stages w / his phenomenal voice / singing. He is considered one of the greatest tenors ever to have lived. You can find him very-well represented on UA-cam.
Franco pour toujours ♥️ 💐 💐 😍🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bravo! Che bella voce! One of the most beautiful voices in opera!
Dio mio! Che voce suprema!!!!
God must have loved the Italians very much. He poured out so many blessing to them and especially in the good looks dept. Gloriously handsome people! Oh to be Italian!
Fortunately I married one!
Possibly one of the most beautiful tenor arias ❤
Simply superb. Even Luciano acknowledged his brilliance. Bravo. R.I.P.
Un tenore di una bravura Eterna inimitabile, quando lo ascolto vado in visibilio, grande Franco Corelli.
Grazie di cuore con affetto e stima.
Ma c'era qualche opera che Corelli non interpretasse in modo divino con la sua voce altrettanto divina?
Grazie a Handel per averla composta e grazie a Corelli per averla così magnificamente interpretata. Da brividi
Невероятное исполнение. Высочайшее мастерство.
Ce garçon avait tout : la beauté, le talent, le génie
Mi sono innamorata della tua voce splendida, della tua bellezza, ti porto nel cuore
He was so good and so big professional that he can sing almost everything. Even Handel, so beautiful, strong, open, and magnificent voice he had.
Franco. voce meravigliosa. anche oggi mi hai ribato il cuore. grazie mio principe dei Tenori.
For someone with this voice to sing so sensitively and elegantly - shows Corelli a true master.
Powerful. What an immensely beautiful tone. Golden.
That's great advice, anyone with voices like this make up a very small percent of the earth's population!
Wow! What a voice! And a handsome devil too!
Фантастическое Исполнение !!! Гений !!!
Piango quando sento questa voce Divina, unica insostituita Perché insostituibile!!!!
My favorite tenor!! I've loved his voice since I first heard it so very many years ago!! So thrilled to find him on Ytube ... Thank you!! tess

Ah, how an icy heart melts after hearing such a voice.

Un miracolo. Un solo artista pieno di tante grandi qualità e talenti. Il Cielo è stato molto generoso con Franco Corelli gli ha donato tutto e lui ha ricambiato con una dedizione assoluta alla sua arte. Tutta la sua vita è stata dedicata alla musica e all'opera. Un miracolo assoluto.
Grandissimo Corelli

Was für eine schöne Stimme !!!

Корелли поёт так чувственно! Я первый раз слышу такое исполнение этой арии! Это божественно! Браво!
Perfezione assoluta magnifico e inarrivabile
My favorite Umbra mai fu sung by anyone, so beautiful that breaks any criticism, that is art, not stupid academician rule.
This is a truly amazing sound from a truly great artist.
of couse He was ...best one ever
@@natalino501 You can question the taste and the style, but this is fantastic singing
Quite surprising to hear the great Franco in this "classic" repertoire. It's staggering and beautiful beyond words.
Wunderbar gesungen.
IL RE DEI TENORI. NON HO ALTRE PAROLE.❤
If I were to try to describe his voice, I’d say it is open-throated! No restriction and no constriction, but open, free, able to reach the stars!!!
Just not sure this is one to big up so much. Astonishing though Franco certainly is! MW
Agree. It's as if his soul comes out.
Only with Corelli do I hear the "Primal Cry".
OMG, just toooooo much! Glorious voice, glorious good looks plus just pure glorious ness in everything Mr. Carelli did/was. Talk about the “total package” Franco Corelli was it!!!
suggestiva voce. vibrante . intensa e dolce che entra nel cuore come una dichiarazione d'amore. 😚 grazie Franco .... unico.
I deeply regret not being able to hear such a voice live. but only Domingo and Paravotti at the end of their singing career. My work colleague and over 80 years old heard him in several opera performances and always spoke of a voice that could fill an arena with sound. Unfortunately, Franko Corelli was only able to sing with this singing technique until his mid-fifties or late fifties. Then that beautiful star was gone. But it can be passed on to many students if they have similar vocal requirements. Just being able to sing until your mid-50s is not an option with the singer agencies these days. They want to earn money with their stars. And they throw you at Singer Junkyard. Unless you are your own boss in this industry. But you can count them on one hand. Whether Handel, who was the Micheal Jackson of Barrok's time, would be enthusiastic about this interpretation is open to debate. 😏👍
Voce leggendaria... ❤😻❤🥰❣ Come si può odiare questo?
Amazing voice!!!
What a singer! What a voice! A privilege to hear it. Thanks.
Какой талант! Великий певец! Изумителььный голос!
Approximately 1:50 the decrescendo shows perfect technique
A true master.
Watch and listen to Corelli sing a Celeste Aida in which he sings a descrescendo on a high B- incredible
I think its B flat.
Corelli e Milanov estão maravilhosos também na Tosca de 1957 em Londres. ❤
Thank you Franco
Sublime! Thank you...
resonance resonance that is what this tenor had that few others possessed unless forced making him a rather unique tenor
ВЕЛИЧАЙШИЙ ТЕНОР!!!! НЕПРЕВЗОЙДЁННЫЙ!!!! БРАВИССИМО!!!!!!
Loved it Franco.
Whenever I hear this voice, I can't do anything else. I just listen to it! Sometimes I would forget how to breathe. I have been listening to Franco Corelli since I was a little kid.
Your parents/relatives were probably very smart and wise if they made you listen the best of the best.
Good for you Susanna,thank your parents.
thank god they did not pick 3 tenors, or something else,
Can relate to forget to breathe part. Makes one feel a little light-headed.
Spectacular voice!! And dynamic good looks!!
La mejor voz de la historia. Demasiada para esta canción.
Perfection
Absolutely beautiful
Unico, Inimitabile, Eterno. That's Franco Corelli !!
Thrilling
La voce di quest’uomo è GLORIOSA.
Insuperabile!!!
After all the strident adherences to notions of historical interpretation and original execution, this is more than a guilty non-purist's pleasure...it's sheer joy. Truly one of the biggest most natural un-affected and tonaly voluptuous tenors on record. A new anabashed favorite oddity. Thank you
Franco Corelli may not have been the subtlest of interpreters; but his voice, heard live in the opera house, was the most thrilling tenor voice that I have ever heard. Back in the late Sixties and early Seventies, I attended numerous performances of his at New York's Metropolitan Opera. Franco Corelli and Mirella Freni as Roméo et Juliette in Gounod's eponymous opera: now, THAT was an unforgettable experience!
Обольстительный голос со всеми лучшими традициями Итальянского тенора
Выразительная внешность
Пользовался огромным успехом в мировой оперной среде. Долго жил, долго пел, до 82 лет .
