  • Have you ever heard Franco's 1967 Concert in Providence? If not then I may have to do something about that! For now, here are a few highlights of the evening. The sound quality is iffy and outdoorsy, but worth the effort. These are some of my all-time favorite interpretations of these songs. One of his less-publicized moments of very sensual and expressive singing. Some very beautiful and unusual touches. My favorite being the Core N'grato. The phrasing of that "grato" at 2:07 is so raw and unaffected. Nothing but real emotion in this concert.
    Selections include:
    Core 'ngrato
    I' te vurria vasa'
    L'ultima canzone

    A magnificent recital with Corelli in legendary form. If nothing of his work survived except this performance of Core n'grato he would still on that basis alone be considered one of the greatest tenors ever to have lived.

    One of the Greatest Tenors who ever sung. A great artist indeed.
    It’s not as if a pianist goes to a bad piano on a concert stage they can be the same piano but to some extent maybe a great extent some are luckier than others and Corelli was one of the luckiest blessed by God. Having said that he was a voice student all of his life like all great singers and musicians.

    The comments below are fully spot on. It’s a pity that during his prime it seems that Corelli was not appreciated as much as he is these days.
    Even though he was the greatest tenor of his type during his best years he suffered constant scorn from many critics (John Steane excepted who needed a Corelli ˋfix´ quite often) for his often ˋindulgent´ vocalism. The reason he is justifiably revered these days is easy to explain. There are no voices around right now as exciting or sonorous as his type of instrument & people respond accordingly.

      Lino Lunardini... Grazie di essere un appassionato di Franco Corelli.. mi viene da dire sì che lei è un intentitore!!! Purtroppo oggi i veri fuoriclasse non ci sono più oppure ci sono ma non studio o profondamente perché anelano al guadagno immediato e fama a volontà. Ragazzi di meno vent'anni girano il mondo già ricchi da far paura, osannati da scalmanati che li mettono su un podio immeritato e di lì a qualche anno sono finiti, depressi e già vecchi. Io non ho nulla verso Andrea Bocelli è una persona bella, gentile e umana, però farlo passare da grande Tenore.. non ci siamo!! É un cantante pop e basta non può essere chiamato Tenore una persona che ha infilato un microfono fra i capelli... però il mondo va così!! Io resto ferma ed ascolto e adoro il mio Franco Dario Corelli..è lui il mio idolo e qualche altro talento del passato. La ringrazio ancora e le mando un cordiale saluto. Elsa.

      Yes, and the whole concert was up on UA-cam once. It contains, hands down, the finest "O souverain", the finest "Ite vurria vasa" and the finest "A Vuchella" of Corelli's entire career. It is a tragedy that that "O souverain" is no longer available on UA-cam, a landmark in tenor history. I have always hoped that, one day, that "O souverain" would come back here. But it never has. All of the other "souverain" readings from Corelli are just a pale shadow compared to that one exquisite reading from a summer 55 years ago. Will we never hear it again? Will you never hear it? How sad. How terribly sad. -- Geoffrey Riggs

      nape jack I agree with you 100%. Corelli and Lanza were the two greatest tenors of the 20th century... and so far of the 21st. It is doubtful that they will ever be surpassed, but that's also what they used to say about Caruso. Unfortunately, the old acoustical recordings of Caruso do not give a true recreation of his voice.

    Corelli was a great artist with secure technique, and a numerous variety of embellishments. He is very impressive indeed.However , the basic voice itself is not beautiful to my ears.Licia Albanesa when asked about Lanza's voice , said even his speaking voice was beautiful. God or nature provides the Beauty, this is not a knock on Corelli ' gifts.Perhaps he was equal to Del Monaco and Lanza on talent..But if we're honest ,the quality of MDM & LANZA VOICE IS OBVIOUS to me,more listenable.

      Corelli had one of the most beautiful voices. He had the rare quality of having a extremely beautiful voice and an extremely powerful voice as well. These qualities often don't go together. He had that beautiful, rich and warm baritone type of sound, with a very smooth sound. Of course people have different taste, but many people think that Corelli had a really beautiful voice.
