Bonjour merveilleux Mr Corelli que l on écoute et réécoute avec le même plaisir inégale notre immense beau tenor au physique et la vois sublime a jamais ❤❤
His Chenier was perfect in every phrase and every breath. When he sings "Io non ho amato ancora" (I've not fallen in love yet), that is a recitativo later on, he never seems to breath and pours his whole soul out.❤❤❤
So gratefull and lucky I had the chance to witness his unique talent! And paired with the absolute dive Grace Bumbry! My best Carmen ever @Lo Sferisterio , Macerata Opera Festival 1974.
God, I love him so much. After so many years of hearing these exact same recordings, he is still one of the handful of artists I will take the opportunity to listen to again and again because each time I do, I am reminded of the dignity and nobility of the human spirit and endeavor. The hairs on the back of my neck still stand up in reverence and awe and when the singing is over, I experience the same release of joyful emotion the recorded audience does. Simply fantastic. Thank you, Lohengrin, for posting these clips. They are rediscovered gems throughout my week. Bravo!
Anch'io condivido queste emozioni...non passa giorno che non senta il Maestro....qualsiasi aria è meravigliosa....certo Andrea Chenier me lo ha fatto scoprire tanti anni fa con il regalo l'opera completa.....❤❤❤
....Il mio inarrivabile e bellissimo Franco Corelli....nulla di più bello sulla scena da vedersi e sentire. Gli applausi sempre infiniti...Grazie LhoengrinO
Cristian - The libretto of Chenier is poetry of the highest class. Perhaps the finest in all opera. I could translate it for you. BUT google it. This aria in particular a poetic gem.
Why would you doubt I know it? I love the libretto, especially "Un dì all'azzurro...". I even attempted to translate it with rhymes and everything in my own language (Romanian).
I wasn't being patronizing . I thought I was answering to someone who didn't know what the aria was about. It was just about the perfect role for Corelli. It may be that it was Gigli's favourite role. And his 1941 recording with the supervision of Umberto Giordano involved . Is one of the most impassioned recordings of opera . Also with Maria Caniglia. The very fine baritone Gino Bechi and a very young Giulietta Simionato. But although singing wise Gigli was at least a match for Corelli. Live on stage there is no contest, Corelli winning hands down , so to speak.
Un dì all′azzurro spazio Guardai profondo E ai prati colmi di viole Pioveva loro il sole E folgorava d'oro il mondo Parea la terra un immane tesor E a lei serviva di scrigno il firmamento Su dalla terra a la mia fronte Veniva una carezza viva, un bacio Gridai vinto d′amor T'amo tu che mi baci Divinamente bella, o patria mia! E volli pien d'amore pregar! Varcai d′una chiesa la soglia Là un prete ne le nicchie Dei santi e della Vergine Accumulava doni E al sordo orecchio Un tremulo vegliardo Invano chiedeva pane E invano stendea la mano! Varcai degli abituri l′uscio Un uom vi calunniava Bestemmiando il suolo Che l'erario a pena sazia E contro a Dio scagliava E contro agli uomini Le lagrime dei figli In cotanta miseria La patrizia prole che fa? Sol l′occhio vostro Esprime umanamente qui Un guardo di pietà Ond'io guardato ho a voi Si come a un angelo E dissi: Ecco la bellezza della vita! Ma, poi, a le vostre parole Un novello dolor m′ha colto in pieno petto O giovinetta bella D'un poeta non disprezzate il detto Udite! Non conoscete amor Amor, divino dono, non lo schernir Del mondo anima e vita è l′Amor!
Honestly people! Every opera lover knows that some tenors used to carry their lucky squash ball with them (supposedly to help them hit the high notes). You’ll notice his tights had no pockets, what was he supposed to do?
Эти штаны называются панталонами, которые в ту эпоху носили все мужчины, кроме ремесленников и крестьян. И да, они были узкими. Кроме того военные в Европе тогда носили белые лосины, они тоже весьма обтягивали ноги. Не знаю, прочитаете ли вы мой столь поздний комментарий, но посмотрела этот ролик только сейчас.
@@worldwidewendall6181 This is perhaps the finest poetic aria. In the whole of opera. May I suggest that you look for a translation on Google. By the way the rest of the opera is as good as it gets in its expressive poetry. As for what's going on, Andrea Chenier was a poet at the time of the French Revoution Who meets his death with his beloved Madelaine on the guillotine. Chenier was Gigli's favourite role. And along with Rigoletto and Turandot I would recommend Chenier with its 20 splendid tunes as a first introduction to opera. It will be shown live on June11 2024 in cinemas all over the world with a direct relay from Covent Garden. Just as an appendage. Puccini was so impressed with Chenier. That his Tosca composed after has certain similarities. One scene where a blind women is giving her last son alive to fight for the revolution. Is equal in pathos to anything by Puccini. And of course in the Academy Award winning Philidelphia one of the arias sung by Madelaine is central to the story. As the very sick Tom Hanks explains to Denzil Washington that this is his favourite music.
Corelli was good in his rep. He was not that great because he could not sing Handel, Mozart and earlier music with so much ornamentation nearly as well as others. To be GREAT one would have to excell at all styles. Callas qualified !
Which "others" are you referring too? And singing Handel and Mozart are quite different things. Callas interpretations of Handel was also not fully corresponding to the score. Corelli was one of the greatest tenors of all time because he brought some roles to a level of perfection that could not be matched since. And he has no pretension to be a Mozart singer.
Corelli IS PANDEMONIUM!!!
Si. Un bellissimo.pandemonio!!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤brzvos a notre immense beau tenor dans un de ses grands roles qu il a marque de cette voix sublime a jamais
I'm my opinion the greatest tenor of all time
Maria's opinion as well
@@LohengrinO Maria? Maria Callas? I thought she likes Mario Lanza the most
Ever really listened to Caruso? Much more moving - in just about anything!
yes......yes...but i never heard Caruso live.. i hear tell....
Mario Lanza and Niki Minaj... Niki was her really favorite singer, the woman with whom she identified personally and vocally
Es ist nicht die phantastische Stimme allein, die imponiert, es ist vor allem das volle Herzblut, mit dem er singt.
The complete package in every respect.
Indeed!
Yes, certainly can't miss his package in this photo.

Coinvolgente. Non trovo le parole per esprimere quello che provo. Emozionante.

This man! his looks, his voice, his sweetness: perfection
wow and more
Corelli, el tenor más grande de la historia.
O coracao precisava estar muito bem pra poder assistir essa deslumbrante apresentacao..Divino e unico!!!
There will never again be a voice like Corelli's! Magnifico!!
So gratefull and lucky I had the chance to witness his unique talent! And paired with the absolute dive Grace Bumbry! My best Carmen ever @Lo Sferisterio , Macerata Opera Festival 1974.
Franco Corelli - tenore di forza!
More corelli please
What a voice....
God, I love him so much.

Neil, I love your comment. Brought tears to my eyes! I love Franco Corelli, and this aria is a true antidote to the chaotic times in which we live.
Anch'io condivido queste emozioni...non passa giorno che non senta il Maestro....qualsiasi aria è meravigliosa....certo Andrea Chenier me lo ha fatto scoprire tanti anni fa con il regalo l'opera completa.....❤❤❤
How much can you say? He was an enormous amount of talent and handsomeness!
When beauty and talent co-exist in Gigantic levels... Nature the most unjust Deity of them All
Gigantisch, für immer unvergessen!
....Il mio inarrivabile e bellissimo Franco Corelli....nulla di più bello sulla scena da vedersi e sentire. Gli applausi sempre infiniti...Grazie LhoengrinO
Huge! And the voice too!
I got to see his Cavaradossi - what a rare talent - stunning to look at and a voice from the gods!
I can only imagine what it felt like and to experience this Live!!!! Exquisite and Superb singing of Franco Corelli!!!!!!🎉❤
Franco for ever!!! ❤️
Ah! que c'est beau beau beau ! Merci🥰
Toda la dinámica lírica en un solo cantante... era perfecto
Magnificent.
Maravilloso!!!!!
IL Divo 👏
GRANDISSIMO !
Last great Chenier along with Tucker and Del Monaco, the only post tenor with a chance to match these two titans would be Giacomini!
THE Chénier.
SON IO!!

Esecuzione spettacolare !!!
Лучший драматический тенор мира и ему нет равных до сих пор
yes, all time
Judging from the picture, it was the trousers which caused the pandemonium!
Abito nella sua Citta Natale
❤️🎼❤️
Amazing, unbelievable, Grande 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️my favorite tenor! Where was this performance , in Italy?Thank you for posting this gem
❤❤❤❤❤
Un dì all′azzurro spazio
Guardai profondo
E ai prati colmi di viole
Pioveva loro il sole
E folgorava d'oro il mondo
Parea la terra un immane tesor
E a lei serviva di scrigno il firmamento
Su dalla terra a la mia fronte
Veniva una carezza viva, un bacio
Gridai vinto d′amor
T'amo tu che mi baci
Divinamente bella, o patria mia!
E volli pien d'amore pregar!
Varcai d′una chiesa la soglia
Là un prete ne le nicchie
Dei santi e della Vergine
Accumulava doni
E al sordo orecchio
Un tremulo vegliardo
Invano chiedeva pane
E invano stendea la mano!
Varcai degli abituri l′uscio
Un uom vi calunniava
Bestemmiando il suolo
Che l'erario a pena sazia
E contro a Dio scagliava
E contro agli uomini
Le lagrime dei figli
In cotanta miseria
La patrizia prole che fa?
Sol l′occhio vostro
Esprime umanamente qui
Un guardo di pietà
Ond'io guardato ho a voi
Si come a un angelo
E dissi: Ecco la bellezza della vita!
Ma, poi, a le vostre parole
Un novello dolor m′ha colto in pieno petto
O giovinetta bella
D'un poeta non disprezzate il detto
Udite! Non conoscete amor
Amor, divino dono, non lo schernir
Del mondo anima e vita è l′Amor!
❤❤❤❤❤ für heute Abend
SALUTE!!!!!!
💖💖
His tights seem to be fitted well. Look closely.
Ahead of his time even in Bulge showing
@@LohengrinO 🙈👊
You don’t need to look closely!!!! Lol

you don't need to...he had it all..bless his sweet soul
Quello che urla "Braaaaavoooo!" Fantastico. lol
Dove sono qui, alla Scala?
Before the photo: "really? does it have to be these _tight_ pants???"
