Incomparabile ad alcun altro tenore prima durante e dopo di lui. ❤
I am 82 jears and I have stil.tears.when.I listen to.him.sinds the Firth time I have Thatcher voic in 1955
Posso solo ringraziare tantissimo Chi ha composto questo insieme di meraviglie del NOSTRO IRRAGIUNGIBILE ARTISTA IMMORTALE. UN MITO!
Heard Corelli at The Met in AIDA,TOSCA,BOHEME, PAGLIACCI, and CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA. He was the most EXCITING singer I ever saw. You could almost feel the electricity as the lights went up. That is missing now.
You don't know how much I envy you, what lucky you were!!!!
How fortunate you were to hear this incomparable tenor voice. I can only imagine what it was like to hear Maestro Corelli at the Met. It must have been a thrilling experience you will never forget. Bravissimo Corelli.
Astounding!
The greatest of them all!!!
Corelli il più grande tenore e interprete di tutti i tempi ❤️
Una voce talmente perfetta da non sembrare neanche umana. Meraviglioso
The very first performance of La Forza del Destino I every saw was in January 1965 ...with Corelli and Bastiannini....plus Tucci and Tozzi ... Simply heaven!!!
Corelli's voice was unparalleled - and literally grabbed you by your being. I saw him in several other operas at the Met - but those years were indeed the golden years.... In one subscription year, I saw Corelli, Bastianini, Sutherland, Nilsson, Gedda, Bergonzi, Tebaldi, Price, Siepi, Bumbry and Ghiaurov .... along with many other great artists.
There is no such operatic firmament these days....
SuperMagren me too. What memories!
I heard the Forza broadcast from that season, and it made me a fan for life. I had liked the voice but didn't particularly care for the singing. But after a summer spent with Lauri-Volpi in 64, he came back for the 64-65 season a changed man. The Forza was exquisite, and the Ernani broadcast a few weeks later, which I saw live in person, were two of the greatest tenor performances, let alone two of the greatest Corelli performances, that I ever saw. A close rival were the two Philly performances I saw live in 68 of Romeo and Forza, with an honorable mention to a 66 Chenier with Tebaldi. Unequaled, in my experience.
So lucky.
The few people here on yt that were enjoying the singers of the 50s and 60s (golden age) live are full of admiration and amazement. My question would be: Were you, back then, aware of the uniqueness of the voices and did you suspect that for a long time voices like Corellis would not be heard anymore?
@@jenspflug7473 A very thought-provoking question! I only started going to the Met when I was in grammar school in 1962, and went with my mother and family friends. So back then I was still learning. But in the 1950s, there had been tenors such as DiStefano, DelMonaco, Tucker ....and of course Bjoerlng had just died (1960). So I was raised in the environment in which Corelli, Bergonzi, Gedda, Kraus, etc were considered the new crop of greats in the 60's. Looking back, I think I was raised thinking that every decade has its greats. But yes - there was no way you could listen to Corelli and not know you were listening to something unique.
What has surprised me in the many ensuing decades is that there seems to be such a dearth of voices with a truly unique personal timbre/sound. Back in the 50's-60's, I think that there was always the expectation that that "uniqueness" would always continue. Sadly, today - even with very fine voices, there is really an overall homogenized sound....
I am just so grateful that we have so many recordings of all my favorites from my youth - and that current and future generations of opera lovers will be able to enjoy as well.
What a marvel he was!
Forza della natura ..nessuno è comparabile
What a Treasure! Franco Forever and Ever.....!
Franco Corelli was huge & then his mezzo voce was a bonus unlike many others that can’t produce! However, his voice was just most well suited for Puccini’s Mario Caravadossi’s role in Tosca! Unreal, just unreal - Pavarotti was great but don’t think he could have surpassed Franco Corelli’s rendition !!! God bless them all - May they all rest in pacem !!!
Why would you compare Corelli and Pavarotti? One is a lyric and the other a Spinto,apples and oranges.
Corelli was just perfect also for Turandot, because you need a big tenor who can easily sing High Cs. For example Del Monaco could not do that and Pavarotti was too light
거기에 Andrea Chenier을 추가하고 싶네요 그의 Chenier은 역대 최고였고 지금도 여전히 그를 능가할 테너가 없습니다
Quel ténor actuel peut se comparer à cet homme ?’? Une force de la nature’
Magnificent!! Great tenor singing died with the great Corelli. This live recording puts paid to the rumor that his diminuendo on the b flat at the end of Cheleste Aida was faked by the sound engineer.
Hoy 100 años del nacimiento del inmenso Franco Corelli. Celebración en el mundo lírico.
Corelli had that warm quality of voice, Which allowed him to be intimate with his listeners, but also the great high notes which are always the icing on the cake for everyone.
I love how he never seemed to get tired of playing Calaf.
Wow to hear his voice in Lucia is incredible. I am so used to hearing light lyrics this is a huge treat😀
Unico e magnifico Grande Corelli . Il tenore eccelenca . Bravi tutti . Molto Grazie .
Grando tenor! Grande Maestro!
Grandissimo
Tive o privilégio de ver e ouvir este Senhor da Opera na Tosca e na Carmen...em Lisboa
Eu tambem
Very Free Open great mix of head and chest voice, chiaroscuro, a free voice, not trapped in the mask or anywhere, so soulful, and lovely and rich
Mehlinda Heartt Student of This is Opera? Hahahaha!! Also with Chest!!! Thanks for your comment 😉

He's so Great he makes me weep.
Caro,caro Corelli, vederti sentirti che grande gioia è per me.
Insuperable. La naturaleza lo dotó de un instrumento que supo utilizar de forma magistral.
Lo tenia todo talento y belleza…
Grande Tenor CORELLI
Corelli sang Edgardo in Lucia once , just on this night. In the 2nd performance he stopped singing after the 1st Act. What a pity! He was a great Edgardo!
Yes ... and it was with Roberta Peters as Lucia -- If ONLY it had been with Sutherland!!!!
Critics gave Corelli a terrible review in the first performance of Lucia in 1971
I was there. Not a role for him then or ever. It was part of that late career idea that he should be singing lighter roles.
Avrebbe dovuto cantare Manon lescaut invece di Lucia, quello era un ruolo adatto a lui, sarebbe stato un grande des grieux
GENIUS !!!
What a wonderful compilation...thrilling!
BRAVISSIMO!!!
El gran Corelli 🥰🥰🥰🥰
This post is wonderful and unexpected. His live performances on record are so exciting compared to studio recordings. Corelli sings all the major arias a little differently live, each time; I enjoy his creative genius manifest in this way. Thank you. Happy New Year!
Super
Iniziare il 2020 così,quaggiù e lassù...amazing!!! I wish you happiness and joy!
what a beauty
Che gioia!
Incredible! Modern opera performances are an endurance test compared to this.
They are so boring.I can't watch them anymore on TV. All singers are the same.
i know im randomly asking but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost the login password. I appreciate any help you can give me.
@Milan Achilles Instablaster :)
ahahahae xactlyyyyyyyyyyyy
Fabulous!
Amazing
These live excerpts convey, to the discerning ear the truly startling size and brilliance of his voice more than do any studio recordings. Why should this be so?
Because Studio mikes can’t catch the size, the volume and the overtones of a big voice as they echoed Live at the theater!
Very interesting video! I love Corelli's voice so much!
Thank you for sharing and have a HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Thanks for uploading! I really enjoyed. I love Corelli too! Eva from Hungary
El eterno chingón de chingones , como el no hay otro .
Thank you very much for sharing!
I would like to see under these records a list of performed arias and the time they started to sound. Your publication will benefit from this
Wow!
Franco le seul au monde entier personne au dessus 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖
Un mito!
Absolutamente estupendo! Gran trabajo, OperaMyWorld!!! No conocía ese Cielo e Mar del 2/12/67. DESCOMUNAL! Corelli se atreve al final del "Ah, vien..." un pequeño diminuendo en el agudo emitido a plena voz!!! Totalmente distinto a su versión del broadcast. Mil gracias por compartirlo! Saludos desde Buenos Aires.
Gracias por el video!!!!
great singer no one today we lack great tenors if tucker came along now
to me 2 golden ages 2nd from 40s on had corelli tucker tagliavinni lanza peerce masini thomas gedda del manaco baum filipechi none today
@@ronaldgoff7499 Glad you mentioned Masini. One of the underrated ones.
@@chriggsiii he had health issues he seemed a little crazy but his live pagliacci in 49 shoed a voice high notes like lanza lower voice like delmanaco he didnt sing much outside italy his cetra rec great i have 15000 rec but get lazy use cds
@@ronaldgoff7499 I remember most vividly a really good Forza on Cetra.
@@chriggsiii yes but that was studio pagliacci from 49 was live on italian radio great he was so well done never any flaws
I heard many beautiful live performances of this sacred monster. It is interesting to hear the difference pre-Volpi and post. Vastly different, maybe not always better. Regardless, still the greatest I ever heard.
When was it that he learned with Volpi? I’ll keep my ear out next time I listen.
Adam Mark mid/late 60’s about the time he started with Romeos and Werthers
Couldn't agree more. I always liked his voice, but didn't particularly care for his singing. Then he spent a whole summer in 64 with Lauri-Volpi. He came back in the 64-65 season to do Forza and Ernani and those performances made me a fan for life; he had become a different, and, in my opinion, a significantly better, singer. Before that, for me Bergonzi was the standard. But not after those Corelli Forzas and Ernanis. Unequalled.
thank you for the wonderfull post !! any other ?
an other what?
@@OperaMyWorld an other video on Corelli as you did
alfred alfred more to come!
@@OperaMyWorld Corelli si my favourite Heroic spinto tenor
Мистер совершенство.
14:08 holy cow
13:01 wow!!
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Sounds like Corelli was having an off in that 1962 Ernani.
Bob Smith I don’t hear an off night!! He was just recorded through a mic on the stage box...so you hear him extremely close!! That distort the voice! Maybe you think that this was the reason he had an off night!
We should only be so lucky
@@sugarbist agreed!
I tried to find the 62 Ernani or the Lucia but i couldn’t find the posting of the entire recordings. Do they even exist?
Yes ofcourse!! Lucia has been realeased also!! The ernani no!! If you give me some time I could upload them through links!!
OperaMyWorld actually any Ernani would be amazing though i prefere those with Price but any will do. As for Lucia along with Rigoletto i always wondered why he sung it so late/never, he would have been glorious in his younger days..
@@mao1878 I dont think he ever sang Rigoletto!! (only the arias)!!
OperaMyWorld he didn’t.. but no idea why.. also Lucia he only sung it 3 times in 71 and i think the last one he canceled if i remember correctly.. strange he would sing it so late in his career
@@mao1878 Lucia was a "bad" for me idea of Bing in order to have a fullticked House!! And he was right!! The audience went wild...but for Franco it was too much for this role for 1971!! He didnt liked it!!
