Remarkable. Perfect Butterfly. She didn't lose tones of musicality using perfect technique. "Chi sara, chi sara?" - definitely goosebumps. She didn't sing this phrase - she lives😊.
Splendida: linea prosodica, pathos, accento impeccabili! Una grande comprensione del testo, oltre che della musica, con quel legato che non si sente quasi più (almeno in francese) ... Poi, fu una maestra favolosa! Grazie e distinti saluti.

Not the standard of breathing which great singers of the period all had; she runs out constantly in places which are rather embarrassing for a famous diva, but it's a nice voice. The final note is an excellent example; she has to truncate it a LOT. This singer is not in the same universe as Ponselle, Carbone, Minghini-Cattaneo, Besanzoni, Stignani, Nicolai, Muzio, Arangi-Lombardi, Mazzoleni, Cigna, Pacetti, Pederzini, Oltrabella, Carosio, etc, etc, etc. Rather disappointing, as she pushes and has seriously compromised breathing technique--neither of which was really acceptable in her period.

"The Art Of Music"
@jayeffsb: It was recorded 24 mai 1940, by Cetra.
Brava bravissima!!!
What was Corradetti's voice type?
soprano lirico
Spinto
Lyric pushing to sing spinto roles. LOL
She was a lyric period.
She suffers from a shortage of breath. But what an interpretation!
The breathing, however, ruins it. She's nowhere near the technical level of any great Italian singer of her period in terms of air and support.
