I saw him in Tosca in the '60's. Huge voice with silvery resonance like a giant unbrella over audience. I melted. Couldn't move. That eternal "vittoria" like an orgasmic shock. And "E lucevan" showing the incredible deminundo with incredible length of breath. Got his autograph too. So handsome!!
Él sin duda, él y sólo él, el mejor tenor de todos los tiempos. Timbre bello, de voz frontal, plena y franca haciendo honor a su nombre. Potencia y estamina, leggato, manejo de aire, filados y encima gran intérprete y actor. El tenor de tenores.
What a treat. Corelli always sings in full voice, needs no tricks, there is no fleeing into the head voice because the piani don't sit. He has mastered his instrument and never sounds like a technical singer, but makes us suffer and love with the characters. Perhaps Corelli really is the best tenor of the last 100 years.
Franco Corelli has the voice, the volume, the technique, the skill, the passion, and the acting ability, and he is so at ease reaching high notes. He is as unforgetable as Maria Callas.
For me, Jussi Björling is the best, especially when just listening, as his voice seems to express the emotion without needing to see him. But I like this too!
@@pattinicholls3256 he was good no arguments there but he certainly wasnt better than everyone else seriously, del monaco,caruso, tucker,bjoerling,gigli,and many otheres would disagree with you.in his prime he was great but had tendency to scoop and ended up much like del monaco with a thickened heavy voice that was not nice to hear.for me his chenier was the best and turandot but after that i listen to other tenors
When i was young😁I thought that Jonas Kaufman was somehow incredibly reliable in this role. But when I saw Corelli, my heart felt a completely different, exorbitant level of living the image. You don't need anything extra, just your voice and your own feeling.
A mio parere uno dei Cavaradossi migliori di sempre. Un grande tenore capace oltre alla voce strepitosa, di avere anche padronanza scenica. Grande Franco Corelli.
Vero. Ma addirittura supera se stesso a Parma il 22 gennaio (o il 21, adesso mi ricordo) del 1967; video reperibile on line e consigliatissimo. Mai ascoltata una cosa del genere e credo mai più ascoltabile. Insuperabile
What perfection! And I love him even more for the story of his marriage. He meets a soprano backstage looking for an autograph and marries her. They stay married until his death. A devout Catholic throughout his life. I admire people that can become famous and not let it change the essence of who they are. They don't become "Hollywood" or fame. They stay themselves .
He was one of the most decent singers of his time. Also he knew when to leave the stage, when he thought that he can't give the quality of singing the people were used to. He retired early. Not like some others who lost their compass: Domingo.
Avevi 34 anni eri talmente bello che tutte le donne avrebbero desiderato un tuo sguardo.La tua voce incantevole rimarrà per i tempi futuri.Grande, immenso Corelli
I'm a classically trained pianist, and luckily my instructor empharsized listening to all types and styles of music. I fell in love with Puccini, and my favorite opera is Tosca. I don't know why I've only learned of Frano Corelli...I didn't train for very long but I feel like I have to catch up. What I love that sets him apart from the rest is his performance is full...his expression, his voice is an extention of his performance. You feel it...he's not thinking of his technique and performing with emotion....honestly, blown away. I've seen a lot of opera singers...he's definitely the best. 4:25 where his voice rises then falls sweetly and softy mixed with the magnitude of this scene brings a tear to my eye.... brilliant
Bellissima interpretazione di lucine le stelle del grandissimo franco Corelli uno dei più grandi tenori della musica mondiali favolosa interpretazione.r.i.p. Dainese Aldo.
As someone who knows nothing about singing technique, it just strikes me as brilliant. He has power, passion, control, good diction, good acting skills, it is all there in one splendid voice. Somewhere else on UA-cam I noticed the result of a poll amongst listeners to a specialist opera radio station, and Corelli had been voted the best tenor ever by about 30% of those taking part, I am beginning to understand why they voted that way.
Thank your sharing your insightful observations. I am a singer (mezzo soprano, perhaps lyric soprano I may be duscovering) & this performance strikes me just the way you describe it/Corelli. Your notes also sustain my belief in myself in doing art, just as I do & seek to share so many beautiful songs. Thanks!
Allora ascolti in UA-cam il duetto del terzo Atto di AIDA con Franco Corelli e Fiorenza Cossotto! Un leone e una leonessa! Le auguro di seguire le loro orme..
He is not perfect but what singer is.In this role of Cavaradossi,he and Pippo are the tenors who most closely approach the ideals for the giovinezza to emulate.
Un aria muy delicada y Franco corelli se oye sublime, solo superado por Franco corelli en parma. Inmenso tenor spinto heroico. El más grandioso tenor de todos los tiempos.
Hoy aniversario de tu muerte seguro que estas con los angeles delleitandolos con tu voz Siempre te recordaremos Franco per. sempre in nostro cuore❤️❤️❤️❤️
E lucevan le stelle, e olezzava la terra stridea l'uscio dell'orto, e un passo sfiorava la rena. Entrava ella, fragrante, mi cadea fra le braccia. Oh! dolci baci, o languide carezze, mentr'io fremente le belle forme discogliea dai veli! Svani per sempre il sogno mio d'amore... L'ora e fuggita e muoio disperato! E non ho amato mai tanto la vita!
30 ottobre 22. finalmente la Rai ha trasmesso quest'opera della Tosca, con l'interpretazione magica ed emozionante del divino Corelli. Grazie. Da brivido!!!
I love Franco and his stentorian voice of molten gold but I do think that the young PIPPO has the edge in pura passions in the extraordinary recording from Mexico in 1950!

Sin duda el mejor cavaradossi de todos los tiempos. El gran Pavarotti solo canta Nessun dorma como caballito de batallas en conciertos ,pero si nos sometemos a la partitura el rol de un tenor dramático el Principe Calaf es del inigualable Franco Corelli
Definitely one of the greatest tenors in living memory, and here ranging from baritonal richness to the most ravishing mezza forte without a hint of falsetto. It beggars belief that a singer with so much going for him, suffered so acutely from stage fright that he sometimes cancelled, and for no other reason.
Una voz divina

In the rôles suited to his voice, I don’t think there’s ever been a tenor better.
👍
Well, they called him The Prince of Tenors, The Magnificent Tenor for nothing.
Sono d’accordo ti riempie il cuore di malinconia
Senza il forse!!!

Divino indimenticabile. Grazie per la gioia che mi hai dato.
Just two words: The greatest!!!
Вот, не вокалист, а исполнитель. Оперный Певец. Щемит же души, а современные теноры совсем не щемят наших сердец.
All about him is perfection - voice, looks, aura. Somebody called him half god. Oh how I agree.
Maria Kozlova Yes, the voice is spectacular and so is Corelli!
Yes he is divine!
Remove the _half_
@@esterbruno8604 u
Only half? I beg to differ
The best tenor ever.
He had the voice ,the looks, the charm and he could act.
Italian proud. Se solo potessimo tornare a questa tecnica di canto 😭
I just love the way he sustains those notes. No one sings this aria with such desperate emotion, such anguish, as he, imo.
For me, Jussi Björling is the best, especially when just listening, as his voice seems to express the emotion without needing to see him. But I like this too!
He is the best Cavaradossi of all
this is excellent, but no one does it better than signore Caruso
He was the best at everything he did; always a revelation.
Achim Klotz TRUE !! Forever & Ever.
Puccini quedó fascinado con Miguel Fleta, también su interpretación de esta aria de Tosca es magistral.
@@pattinicholls3256 he was good no arguments there but he certainly wasnt better than everyone else seriously, del monaco,caruso, tucker,bjoerling,gigli,and many otheres would disagree with you.in his prime he was great but had tendency to scoop and ended up much like del monaco with a thickened heavy voice that was not nice to hear.for me his chenier was the best and turandot but after that i listen to other tenors
And he could act! For those lucky to have seen and heard the great Corelli and la divina Maria Callas, I envy you.
Inarrivabile
Unici. Fantastico. Stupendo
Meraviglioso. Incredibile. Magico.franco grazie.
Разные исполнители попадались этой арии, но исполнение Корелли - эталон.
Dramatic. Powerful. The best. Corelli magnificent
Struggente come nessun altro..... Superbo interprete. Unico e solo!!!!!!!!!
Out of this world really….. no words to describe him
An absolute king of opera. The power, the expression, depth of feeling and flawless technique. There was no other since...
When i was young😁I thought that Jonas Kaufman was somehow incredibly reliable in this role. But when I saw Corelli, my heart felt a completely different, exorbitant level of living the image. You don't need anything extra, just your voice and your own feeling.
❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ninguém canta essa ária igual a ele. Que voz! Que interpretação! Inigualável!!!
Qué hermosa voz, tan limpia ❤
Hasta hoy, sólo había oído a Pavarotti, pero M. Corelli lo supera de largo.
Mio Dio quanto sentimento in questo canto!!!!!!! Divina creatura❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Corelli you are the whole universe, a totally different artistic dimension...

Very well said, I do think Corelli was the most emotional singer alongside Maria Callas.

2:49 The only tenor whose inimitable spinto can put a lump in my throat and make my eyes get misty. To me, he was the greatest of them all.
Bravo
Senza alcun dubbio
Incredible performance. It brings tears to my eyes and melancholy to my heart. RIP Franco Corelli!
Precisely my sentiments!
A timeless talent!!!...always be missed!
Tive o privilégio de ver e ouvir este grande tenor a cantar esta aria belíssima no teatro nacional de S.Carlos em Lisboa
E que privilégio?
ТАК БЕЗПОДОБНО ПЕТЬ И ОДНОВРЕМЕННО ИГРАТЬ! Это Настоящий талант!

Che interprete completo é stato Corelli! Non mi stanco di ripeterlo:quest'uomo era nato per l'arte,a tutto tondo...

Corelli said that his diminuendo came natural to him and was something he could not teach
Браво Маэстро !
Immortale!!! Sia vocalmente che come interprete!!! Grazie
Inarrivabile
What can one say? This is simply the best. Oh, my.
c est son âme entière qui chante... interprétation hors norme!!!!! fantastique!!!!
oh my goodness, I could hardly bear his agony.
This was a great role and aria for Corelli.
there is another post of his singing this, excellent also, but later.
The best suited role for him. Passionate painter with a tender and passionate heart. Corelli was Cavaradossi.
Today's tenors ought to be shown this to demonstrate how to sing and do it with passion and feeling, something a lot are missing.
best and greatest
Absolutely the best performance of this aria.
Sin duda el mejor cavaradossi de todos los tiempos.
El gran Pavarotti solo canta Nessun dorma como caballito de batallas en conciertos ,pero si nos sometemos a la partitura el rol de un tenor dramático el Principe Calaf es del inigualable Franco Corelli
Section at 4 mins 06 onwards...just mind-blowingly brilliant level of control, emotion, acting skills. What a performer.
the best Cavaradossi ever!!
