  • (Puccini: Tosca) Teatro Regio di Parma, January 21, 1967
    Not only Corelli's prolonged B-flat at the climax of "Recondita armonia"; his twelve-second A-sharp on "Vittoria!"; and his 22-second "discogliea dai veli" with unbelievable control of the diminuendo in "E lucevan le stelle", but also the audience's explosive frenzy and participation has to be heard to be believed.
    The shouts for "bis" after "E lucevan le stelle" went on seemingly forever. The audience was absolutely livid at being denied the encore and over and over drowned out the orchestra until Corelli hand signaled that he would sing for them after the opera, which he does, the most soulful and impassioned "Core 'ngrato," after a piano is rolled onto the stage.

    Eccezionale Corelli. C'è tutto Cavaradossi, quello vero, l'artista, il pittore, l'uomo. Un controllo vocale senza paragoni, e con quel peso di voce che aveva lui. La malinconia, l'abbandono, l'eccitazione e l'estasi ci sono tutte. Il virtuosismo della filatura dei veli sul La naturale è superiore ad ogni altor mezzo canoro umano. Nessun altro prima e dopo di lui ha saputo fare di meglio nella filatura: c'è un solo fiato da "disciogliea" con una lunghissima corona sul la naturale, e portamento sul "dai veli" sui cui ancora insiste con una lunghissima corona. Chia altro è capace di questo? neanche Schipa, che aveva meno voce, e neanche Fleta, voce leggera. Un mostro di bravura, uno studioso della tecnica, un cantante umile e attento alle esigenze della musica, scrupoloso e disciplinato, ma esuberante nel temperamento vocale, sì da trasmettere pura elettricità ed emozione.

      Guardi. Io sono un' emerita ignorante in materia musicale ma. persino io ho notato quel " discioglieva" sostenuto con un lunghissimo fiato da far paura ....e poi volevo complimentarmi con Lei per il suo spettacolare commento..non poteva dire meglio di tutto quello che avrei voluto dire io...per la sua capacità di esprimersi e anche di persona che ne sa e capisce tutto quello che bisogna conoscere della musica e del bel canto. Sentire parlare cosi armoniosamente del mio idolo Corelli mi ha fatto traboccare il cuore di gioia..un vero grazie di cuore. e le mie congratulazioni più sincere ed un cordiale saluto . Elsa Asta.

Pensi al grande Corelli, quanto fu osteggiato...persino la sua prestanza fisica era materia d" invidia. e che la sua fama era dovuta almeno il 50% alla sua bellezza.

    My dearest Franco Corelli. I saw him live in Milan in 1959 when I was only 15 years old and immediately fell in love with him. Now I'm an old lady with several grandchildren and I'm still in love with him. His voice, his emotions, his tenderness, his modesty, his looks. Franco Corelli the man.

    Here's a little Corelli anecdote: A few years ago a music critic asked the current members of the orchestra, "What was your most memorable performance?" The first violinist said, "I once performed with Corelli."

    This brings tears to a grown man if one dares let the music into our cold heart and face our tender experiences through this aria. Franco Corelli’s sustained pianissimo reached into the heart and rips it out! I read that he even knew his voice was exceptional this night at the Parma. I’m glad this humble tenor-genius knew he stirred the audience’s soul with his mezza voce, and genuine vocal sentiments.
    The best version I have ever heard.
    Corelli’s voice arguably one of the best with de Stefano, Bjorling (both float the diminuendos effortlessly) a few others stand out, if permitted to indulge in the old style, the 1918 Beniamino Gigli performance of this aria. A scratchy recording but heartfelt emotional delivery. Also, the impossibly nuanced, Tito Schipa and Miguel Fleta’s sensitive diminuendos.

    4. Dono di TANTA voce
    5. Studio e capacità nel domarla
    6. Serietà
    7. Bellissima persona
    8. Potenza....... Tutto questo ed altre beltà ancora erano racchiuse nel TENORE. Si perché egli era, anzi è il TENORE. Basta quest'aria per darne un esempio. E dopo quest'aria, come si possono ancora fare raffronti con altri tenori. In lui si raccoglieva la nobiltà della persona, non aveva alcun bisogno di dar sfogo in spavalderia o atteggiamenti da "numero uno", e quando cantava sembrava non sforzasse, neppure sulle note più alte.....

    From 1:55 to 2:16, he sings a 21 sec diminuendo to messa di voce and again crescendo, on a single breath and you can hear the audience holding their breath and then rustling in amazement at 15 sec and another part of the audience asking them to be quiet. Priceless!

    This decrescendo on a very long breath is an absolute sensation. The shock it causes the audience probably resulted in a collective swoon. I would probably have been at my wits' end after that evening. And I would never have wanted to hear Tosca again. In fact, I know of no better interpretation of this aria - and I think I know all the ones that were recorded :-)

      If Puccini could not imagine this, perhaps the answer is that Puccini did not write the aria for a self indulgent and undisciplined freak. Singers should serve the composer and not themselves.

    • @jasonthomas6525
      @jasonthomas6525 7 ปีที่แล้ว +40

      The irony of your statement is that Corelli was/is one of the handful of tenors working at any given time who can sing this as written, with the diminuendo. Corelli was the epitome of discipline and the consummate professional, by all accounts according to his colleagues. His voice was ever at the service of the music, as shown in various recordings of celeste Aida or Chelonia e mar where he also attentively provides sublime diminuendo. But one must consider that Corelli himself was at the service of the voice, meaning a powerful instrument like this is at times like a wild animal or a kind of force of nature, sometimes on the very razor's edge of one's control. This can be heard in Corellis singing; he often sounds like he has too much voice, and has to reign it in. How many singers, let alone tenors, can make that claim?
