I was a teen when I would hear Peter Allen announce Franco Corelli would headline a Metropolitan Opera Saturday broadcast. My father listened to the Metropolitan Opera broadcasts throughout my childhood. I listened, but never saw him live. When I took voice lessons, my teacher would use Corelli as a model of supreme technique.
I fear there will never be a better tenor than Corelli, because there is no room for any improvement on his work. This is a great example, but, subjectively, it is even more impossible to better his rendition of Celeste Aida.. ..un trono vicino al sol...
This what is a tenor, an spettacolo, and not a political experiment as opera has became in the last years. Opera will die if there are no divos and divas.
What an amazing talent. He makes it look so easy. And so I think "hey, I can do that". And then I try. And then the police comes to pick me up again...
Most people call his greatest year 1964, when he was in his mid 40’s. A tenor like Pavarotti peaked much earlier, but Corelli had a lot of vocal issues to deal with before achieving the status of a very great singer, which he certainly was. But 1971 is late Corelli and he retired just a few years later.
@@ransomcoates546 Yeah, he started singing late, over thirty. But his career as competition swimmer must have given him a headstart regarding lung capacity and breath control. Anyway, he retired when still big, which is more than can be said about others of his generation or later.
Only the police? You are lucky. If I tried in such a way as other people could hear me I would be dragged away by "those nice young men in their little white coats" because they would be "coming to take me away, to the funny farm..."

One of the most dramtic areas of Bel Canto, performed live with the best voices of the time lending some great passion to a very dramatic dilema ... he's betrayed his country for the woman he loves and is willing to die for it; Amneris puts everything on the line to save him if only Radames were to give up Aida and yet he does not and what's more he's happily willing to die for his crime and for Aida. It does not get better than that. Great looking performers ... Franco was what I envisioned a Radames to look like, young, tall, fit, handsome and a beautiful voice 💖💖💖

Bonjour toujours cette voix sublime bravo mr corelli vous voir et vous entendre est un tres grand plaisir merci nous n avons plus des voix si belles de nos jours
Слушала бы , слушала бы и смотрела бы , смотрела бы с величайшем наслаждением. Спасибо. Такое богадство красок , что диву даешься: как совершенна человеческая природа.
Every time I hear him sing I realize how much he adjusted as he aged. At this point he may have lost that extra range but his voice and interpretation were still better than any tenor I have heard both past and present. His breath control at the end of this aria is amazing.
Бесценные кадры с великим тенором.Природа наделила его и голосом и внешностью и трудолюбием."Травиата"с Анной Моффо и Франко Корелли-фильм опера и посыл в вечность современникам и потомкам.Спасибо за доставленное наслаждение.
That’s bc he’s a spinto tenor, which means that he has a much darker color in his timbre. Plus it sounds a little more powerful than a lyric tenor. You’ll hear a difference when you listen to Corelli and Pavarotti
Si è pazzesco. È poi mi vengono a parlare fi Pavarotti. Fatemi il piacere! Solo 2: Franco Corelli Jonas Kaufman Un tenore deve anche risvegliare gli ormoni delle donne. È questi 2 li risvegliano anche a una 90enne.

Indimenticabile e inimitabile. Era troppo in tutto...

E' un picere ascoltare la Sua voce. Grazie Maestro.
The one and only!!!
Questa non e' cultura! 'E scultura!!! Scultore vocale il mitico Francone!!!! Numero 1 !
Senza dubbio il più grande di tutti!
He was my Dads idol and in later life his best friend. A wonderful man!
My favorite tenor of all time.

No one, each time I listen, I realize, a phenomenon like Franco Corelli is only once.
Senore Franco Corelli a la Orchestra est MAGNIFICO MAESTRO con Bellissimo Voce!!!
MERAVIGLIOSO FRANCO CORELLI!!!
Todo se queda e silencio cuando canta Corelli. All gets in silence when Corelli sings.
Oh,,,Corelli .... April 8, 2021 was his 100th birthday.
Molto bravo l'ho visto all'Arena di Verona giovanissima pure lui ma nella Turandot quanto bravo e bello
Sono contenta della risposta grazie
Beata te che l hai potuto vedere dal vero! Oltre alla bravura indiscussa era uno degli uomini più bello mai visto!
MERAVIGLIOSO bravo voce bellissima 👍👍👍👍

Groot geweldig zanger met een prachtigestem weinige kunnen hem evenaren.
Que huevos que tenía el marciano Corelli!!! Bravoooo
Heaven is going to be a magical place. Be at peace, Franco.
Imenso . RIP FRANCO CORELLI.
Great humanity 👏👏👏❤❤❤ everytime listen Corelli would feel something new
No stupid placement. Pure and fearless emissions. What a voice, steel.
Che una voce!!!
Гениально, чувственно, выразительно - вот это настоящее оперное пение! Как повезло тем, кто слышал Корелли живьём.
Даа! Правда! 🎶💐🍀

Immortale!!!
Non esisterà mai più un tenore come lui. Superiore anche a Pavarotti
NUMERO UNO PER TUTTİ İ TEMPİ !!!
Bellissima interpretazione ! Insuperabile e straordinaria voce! Bravissimo maestro Corelli .J.L

Maravilloso. Una voz envidiable.
talmente bravo da sfiorare l'assurdo...
Fabulous!
It is impossible to name the greatest tenor of all time. It is possible however, to list 10 wonderful tenors.
What a man! Beautiful voice and incredibly good looking
No es humano. ¡Es un ángel!!!!
Voce spettacolare! 💖💞💕💗💕
Bestes Che gelida manina, das ich je gehört habe
Stupendo!
Very Strong Voice.

Eine gewaltige Stimme, das hört man schon bei dieser Aufnahme. Er ging leider recht früh in den Ruhestand mit 55 Jahren.
Tenore grande!
Sublime !! Ho la pelle d'oca...
Immenso, il più grande!
What incredible power and squillo. God blessed this man with a voice we’ll never hear from any other. The purest of Tenors.
Yes watched this conzert on yt
Гениално изпълнение!!! Едно цяло с оркестъра!!!
There is one king!!! FRANCO!!!!!!!!
Straordinario tra i primi tenori mondiali, potente e dolce nelle sue numerose interpretazioni
.
He holds that note at the very end. Beautiful.
he is smply the best of the best !!!! Il più grande tenore di tutti i tempi!
Numero 1 fra i tenori di tutti i tempi. Ma nessuno lo nomina mai per invidia della sua immensa bravura e altrettanto immensa bellezza
Ma veramente lo nominano tutti....
Il numero uno e' stato , e' e sara' Mario Del Monaco
No więc powiedzmy że dwóch największych to Franco i Mario...
Ma chi è che non lo nomina?

Simply spectacular !!!! By the way Corelli always was !!!
Bellísima voz !!
The number one tenor.....👍❤️😍🙏🏻✨💫
Corelli tra i cantanti di tutto il mondo lui é tra i numero UNO
Una voce stupenda, un'interpretazione meravigliosa.
Уникальный и неповторимый ! Наслаждение !!!
Non c'è il più grande in assoluto ognuno ha una sua preferenza lasciamocela e godiamo la nostra
Fantastico 💐❤️
So much testosterone for a tenor!!!
That’s bc he’s a spinto tenor, which means that he has a much darker color in his timbre. Plus it sounds a little more powerful than a lyric tenor. You’ll hear a difference when you listen to Corelli and Pavarotti
Lyric is powerfull than spinto.
Spinto is hybrid color (lyric-dramatic) Lyric has shiny high range
Spinto not like lyric
Si è pazzesco. È poi mi vengono a parlare fi Pavarotti. Fatemi il piacere! Solo 2:
Franco Corelli
Jonas Kaufman
Un tenore deve anche risvegliare gli ormoni delle donne. È questi 2 li risvegliano anche a una 90enne.
@@donatagalli4974 Kaufmann has a tiny voice though. Corelli had a gigantic voice, as did Del Monaco, Martinelli, Masini, Penno, Caruso, Lauri-Volpi
Believe me... I have played this with many a tenor, [Horn} AND THIS IS THE BEST !!! Bless you dear Sir !
Che gelida manina!
Se la lasci riscaldar.
Cercar che giova?
Al buio non si trova.
Ma per fortuna
e una notte di luna,
e qui la luna l'abbiamo vicina.
Aspetti, signorina,
le diro con due parole chi son,
chi son, e che faccio, come vivo,
Vuole?
Chi son? Chi son? son un poeta.
Che cosa faccio? Scrivo.
E come vivo? Vivo.
In poverta mia lieta
scialo da gran signore
rimi ed inni d'amore,
Per sogni e per chimere
e per castelli in aria
l'anima ho milionaria.
Talor del mio forziere
ruban tutti i gioelli
due ladri:gli occhi belli.
V'entrar con voi pur ora
ed i miei sogni usati,
ed i bei sogni miei
tosto si dileguar!
Ma il furto non m'accora
poiche,poiche v'ha preso stanza
la speranza.
Or che mi conoscete
parlate voi. Deh parlate.
Chi siete? Vi piaccia dir?
To think he was in his “prime” almost 20 years before this and listen to him! Better than any tenor at any age!
I was priveledges to see him in AIDA and ERNAI at the met
@@Sebastian740 tell us about it ????? how was it ???? he is my favourite tenor
Bravo!!
Spectacular, my first time hearing Franco; certainly not the last!!!!
Corelli per sempre ..
The best tenor of the world, for me!
D'alere Freire me too!
Il primo è Mario del monaco
Grossartig.
This is a great voice which only a few come close to. No cheating just pure open throat sound with squillo that fills the theatre and overpowers the orchestra and the listener
Bravo 👏

@@maggiedeveney Yes. Corelli didn't have only beautiful and powerful voice, but he was so humble, which is the most beautiful characteristic of great men. Look at Domingo: he is already 80 years old and he is not going away. He is so full of himself.
TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!
"No cheating" but a semitone LOWER, like many tenors. Not a high C.
@@karifrid If Puccini had just one mistake, that could be Che gelda manina's tune!
All the best tenors go to heaven sadly missed all of them I wish they could all come back again once again
Unico?!!! Divino!!!!!
Anche bellissimo
The concert that made the ultra reserved Japanese act like Italians!!
Hahahahaaa! Cool comment.
There was ON:Y One Franco Corelli. Had the priveledge of seeing him in AIDA at the Met.
tel us ^lease about aida
Gorgeous ❤
Голос, который не спутаешь ни с одним другим.
Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
such emotion, he could sing tears
Yes, when he sings E Lucevan et stella, it's enough to make you literally cry. He sings it like his heart is broken.
Невероятно !!!!!!!
I couldn't even imagine that imitating his totality... I would have hit that B such effortless and loud and So Beautifully!
This video may be the beginning of something for me
A tenor superstar of his era.
Of all eras.
He had it all. Thank you for this. So elegant.
Potenza ed acuti favolosi
Stupenda interpretaziome
Thank Heavens Corelli never sang Wagner!
