It was my pleasure to see Kirsten, Corelli, and Colzani in Fanciulla back in the early 60s in Philadelphia. In my opinion they were all perfect for their rolls.
Kirsten was the first opera singer I saw in concert. I was only 12. At 19 I saw Corelli in Fanciulla and got his autograph. I love this opera... so different with a variety of characters. I was already in love with him from his movie of Tosca. Luckily I saw him 3 more times.
She was one clever woman. Singing even dramatic roles without getting overtaxed. A limited amount of performances every year using a very developed lyric voice with care.
Corelli as Johnson was sensational , not only by sheer power of High notes but also in looks , which in my h o. Is 30% of the tole However the permanent “ sitting” on high notes extending them faaasr behind the score is a kind of annoying 😢 Corelli with his natural beauty and power of voice could have created a more “ stylish” Johnson Still I love him for what he is ❤
If Puccini isn't your cup of tea, then I'm not sure what it is that makes Corelli wonderful... That's like loving carts but not being such a big fan of horses.
Corelli is a great tenor, but this role did not suit him very well - though he did sing some arias (e.g. Ch'ella mi creda) brilliantly. Del Monaco's rendition of this duet with Eleonor Steber is the best I've heard.
Thank g-d you have the decency to admit that this opinion pure preference. This type of hysteria present in the admiration of our beloved art is understandable. But nevertheless, it is extremely unfair to discourage others from accepting the artistic offering of a capable voice because of personal preference. Bias is dangerous.

@@dmcg8400 well, I can't do nothing about your limitations 🤷♂️🤷♂️ Be safe.
@@ernestogiusti5802 Yes, you can only address your own severe limitations... Give it a whirl!
@@ernestogiusti5802 You are one of two people that I've met that did NOT like Puccini - so you are outvoted!
@@dmcg8400 sehr gescheit

Why did it not suit him?
@@draganvidic2039 Just personal preference, if I am to be honest.

umgekehrt, wir sind froh darüber, dass wir die Möglichkeit haben, mehrere grossartige Tenöre der past zu hören.
