In my whole life I have never seen a man more handsome nor heard a voice more powerful, more beautiful than Franco Corelli! He really is the Prince ofTenors! God bless you, Franco, Rest In Peace! ❤️🔥
Many years ago I told Franco, "Maestro, you are my favorite tenor in the world." He replied, "Oh please, don't call me maestro, I'm just a tenor." What a humble, great man.!
Always been a huge fan of Corelli, but just heard this for the first time. Almost brought a tear to my eye (I don't know why ?) with that top note, and I had to catch my breath before I could play it again (and again) A singer able to create dramatic musical magic with his voice. Unforgettably thrilling, as only Corelli can be. A blockbuster performance. HUGE thanks for posting.
L’opera è stupenda, il solo fatto che dopo di Franco Corelli nessuno sia più stato in grado di riproporla, è già una risposta della Grandezza di questo insuperabile e intramontabile splendido artista dalla voce sublime!
I would say I know a good deal about Franco Corelli and his many incredible roles considering I am not at all of his generation or even close to it. I've heard pretty well all the operas he's recorded, his recorded recitals, live performances available on video and I have admired and respected him greatly and still do taking a great deal of pleasure from what he has left posterity, but this Poliuto aria finale simply leaves me speechless. I've never heard a tenor do what il signor Corelli did with this role. More extended videos of La Scala's POLIUTO are available and most would know that Franco sang along with Maria Callas as Paolina and my baritone favourite Ettore Bastianini (who died so young) as Severo. Hearing this note for the first time is a veritable blessing. In the day, it must have been a glorious occasion attending a Franco Corelli performance. He remains one of the very great tenors of all time. All three singers from the La Scala "Poliuto" remain immortal.Thank You for posting this. It would be grand if one of the great world Opera Houses were to stage Donizetti's Poliuto in this 21st Century. (2024)
I am one generation behind Corelli, but as such I was lucky enough to get to see him in about two hundred performances between 1962 and 1974, mostly at the Met (plus his next to last public performance in Newark NJ in1981). I often went backstage to see him and one evening bumped into him in the street, a tale I tell as part of my chapter on him in my book "Reflections from the Audience: Sixty Years of Attending Thousands of Performances-and Writing About Them." The "Poliuto" performance, which I first obtained in a pirated LP edition in the mid-1960s is one of his great performances, perhaps second only to the La Scala "Gli Ugonotti." While I don't have a chapter on your favorite baritone (I do on mine, Tito Gobbi), I do think Bastainini one of the greats and did get to see him a few times at the very end of his career, including with Corelli in "Forza." I have a poignant story about Bastianini that is not in my book. The Forza performance was in January 1965, almost exactly 2 years before his premature death. I went to the performance with a friend, and after the performance, as usual I went to see Franco, but my friend went to see Bastianini. When we met up later, he told me that he had asked Bastianini if he had any new recordings coming out and Bastianini's response was: "Listen to my old ones."
A proposito,.. Un mio collega Artista del Coro più anziano di me che ha avuto la fortuna e l'onore di essere in scena con il supremo in Arena di Verona, diceva che quando CORELLI cantava ed era in posizione arretrata tutti quelli che gli stavano davanti rimanevano storditi, fischiavano le orecchie per diversi minuti, come avere una sirena che ti fischia nei timpani. E questo sta a confermare che si trattava di un fenomeno vocale e artisticamente immenso. La limpidezza, lo squillo, l'intensità dell'acuto sono da extra terrestre. Che meraviglia!!!!!!

Attention, everyone! I’ve created a highly inspiring AI biography of Maestro Apollo Granforte. Make sure to watch it, as it offers fascinating insights into his life and artistry. I’ve even included a link in the description to the AI tool I used for the narration. The video is almost complete-about 99%-since we’re just waiting for UA-cam to finish generating subtitles, which will be available soon. Enjoy watching!
I like Corelli’s teacher Giacomo Lauri-Volpi much more than him, but sadly Lauri-Volpi’s performance 5 years earlier was not recorded. Although in 1960 we got Callas who is superior to Caniglia who sang with Lauri-Volpi.

I wholeheartedly agree!
In addition to his incredible high notes, is his warmth and drama and phrasing in his voice!

Bene, chi può eguagliare Franco!In questo mondo e su questo non c'è e non ci sarà come lui!❤❤❤
Incomparabile!!!
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing! What aria is this?
Sfolgorò divino raggio
I believe Franco Corelli could offer much more than a single high note.
À chaque fois que j'écoute cet air, je vérifie que ma chaise soit bien solide 🎉
Merci à vous
