- Se quel guerrier
Io fossi! se il mio sogno
S'avverasse!... Un esercito di prodi
Da me guidato... e la vittoria... e il plauso
Di Menfi tutta! E a te, mia dolce Aida,
Tornar di lauri cinto...
Dirti: per te ho pugnato, per to ho vinto!
Celeste Aida, forma divina.
Mistico serto di luce e fior,
Del mio pensiero tu sei regina,
Tu di mia vita sei lo splendor.
Il tuo bel cielo vorrei redarti,
Le dolci brezze del patrio suol;
Un regal serta sul crin posarti,
Ergerti un trono vicino al sol.
If only I were that warrior!
If only my dream might come true!
An army of brave men with me as their leader
And victory and the applause of all Memphis!
And to you, my sweet Aida,
To return crowned with laurels,
To tell you: for you, I have fought,
For you, I have conquered!
Heavenly Aida, divine form,
Mystical garland of light and flowers,
You are queen of my thoughts,
You are the splendor of my life.
I want to give you back your beautiful sky,
The sweet breezes of your native land,
To place a royal garland on your hair,
To raise you a throne next to the sun.
Forse l'unico ad eseguire bene,il finale di Celeste Aida...immenso Francone!!!
Grazie

No Philadelphia. New York MET, 3 March 1966, Zubin Mehra conducting.
Unico e eccezionale.
TALVEZ O MAIOR DE TODOS OS TEMPOS.
I see Mr. Hugues’ (listed in comment below) point. To me it is unlikely that, either because of nerves or other reasons, Corelli would take a chance on the final high B flat diminuendo in CELESTE AIDA by 1972. He was still in this year still capable of singing with full power & sonority but was losing confidence in delivering consistent diminuendos on this particular note. Although still capable of delivering electrifying performances (a MET broadcast of DON CARLO in April 1972 for instance) his absolute greatest years as a tenor were sometime before. In the French version the title is DON CARLOS but in the Italian version the final S is omitted. The late Jerome Hines who sang often with Corelli also indicated that from about 1973 until he basically retired 3 years later, Corelli’s instrument was not quite what it once was. Simply lack of confidence or inappropriate repertoire who knows. A MET broadcast of TURANDOT in late December 1974/early 1975 unfortunately was not up to the Corelli standard in one of his signature roles. Having heard this live performance myself I had hoped it was only a temporary indisposition.
Vi a Franco Corelli en 1974 (17 Mayo, México City). Estaba muy grande, nervioso y no se atrevía con agudos más allá del La, eso en recital. Sus últimas actuaciones brillantes fueron en 1972. La voz ya era seca en el timbre, con wooble pronunciado, pero siempre grande, expansiva y con una proyección a cada rincón del teatro, pero no elasticidad ni diminuendos comprometedores. Gracias.
