Comparazioni con altri tenori non si possono fare. IL NOSTRO corelli è un gradino sempre più in alto. Voci come la sua non sono esistite e non esistono. Le sue vibrazioni interiori le trasmette a chi ascolta. Avrei voluto ascoltarlo dal vivo. Brividi.❤❤❤❤
I think he sounds amazing... really. I had a voice teacher who studied with him while he was well into his 70's... and he still had the voice. I dont think he had a clue how good he was, eaten by insecurity and doubt and fear. But what a voice! What an otello he would have made!
La voce potente e bellissima e segni come un ampio, magitralmente usato dal grande Franco Corelli, è stato e sarà SOLO. senza sminuire le voci soft per me un poeta e amante come me e come il grande Franco Corelli. É 'virile, molto eccitato, lui con la sua interpretazione che provoca eccitazione, anche, era ed è tuttora il suo successo .. Grazie Laonirica per questi bei momenti che ci danno Pieri
Peccato, che il livello della discussione e cosi basso. Mi piace la voce del Divo e io ho ragione di esprimere la mia gioia di sentirlo e vederlo. Viva il Divino!
grande Corelli... voce di ampiezza eccezionale... altro che martì (parodia di tenore)... alla fine dell'aria è fenomenale ...è davvero la scoperta di un continente (da gama)... grandissimo Franco
holy crap! at 1:54, I had no idea that corelli, at age 50 was going to hit that Bb that easily, especially on that vowel and without his mouth opening so huge. that...was awesome
@boxingin You are in good company. In the famous Opera Fanatic poll, Corelli came in first (Caruso was third). Pavarotti was a poor musician who struggled learning music while Corelli was a phenom who studied constantly and could learn a full role in three days.. Pavarotti himself said Corelli was the best drammatic tenor in the world. I forget how may times I heard Pavarotti. I can never forget a moment of Corelli.
One funny anecdote; there were complaints about Loretta standing in the wings with a recorder night after night, so they forbade her from doing it. One night, she stood there with a statue of the Virgin Mary, praying as Franco sang 'Che gelida manina'. As he approached the climax, she looked around and lifted up the statue, which had been hollowed out and inside was a tape recorder!! Oftentimes, acts would begin late because the two of them were arguing in his dressing room. Unbelievable!!
ther are many that exceed corelli. beauty is the key my friend. corelli aften sounded like a goat until the very top A, B's and C's. other than that, his instrument was a beast!! great great instrument. but it takes ALOT more than that to be great.!
You're entitled to your taste in music. May I just respectfully disagree vehemently castorp278. I just love the great Corelli and at age 50, as he is here, to blast a perfect Bb is just wonderful. He was one of the all time greats. So there!
Non rispondermi, se tu non conosci l'italiano. Ho scritto precisamente, che io sono incantata da Lui. Punto. Se ti non piace Corelli non visitare la sua pagina. Mi piace la voce di Corelli nel ogni momento della sua carriera. E chiaro? Smetti anche le invettive, e sarebbe bene, se tu cominciassi a studiare l'italiano, non le parolaccie. Saluti.
Well castorp, we agree on Pavarotti. He inspired me to begin my love of opera after seeing the 3 tenors. In fact, at the age of 45, in 1990, I took singing lessons for 3 years, just out of love of Italian opera. The results are on You Tube under the name of Joel Barry. I sing Nessun Dorma. You'll probably rip me up but I don't claim to be taken seriously. My cousin put the vid up there. It was my uncles 70th. I'm a piano bar pianist/singer in Chicago for 35 years. Good talking to ya.
It's ridiculous to compare Corelli to Pavarotti. They were both great artists. I saw them both and I'm sorry that fans on this site continue to make these simplistic comments
and Pavarotti for that. It is easier to sing after watching them sing . It is best to learn from the best. I think I am getting better when I compare this video with the older one that I put on youtube 8 months ago. I have studied with tenorsinger named David Bartleet,(when I have money to spare) I hope that my voice will grow bigger and bigger and I can sing roles like Il trovatore.(I already know the tenorpart by heart) Corelli did famous Di quella pira and to get in "the mood"I listen.
I put a video response with me singing this aria. More people listen to Maestro Corelli,than any other tenor on youtube and I want people to listen to me.I could get more jobs as a singer. I know seven tenorparts "by heart" and a lot of arias and songs. Normal program for a short performance is : La donna e mobile and O sole mio. An encore ,Nessun dorma. I have been told that my high notes are quite good and I can ,partly thank singers like Maestro Corelli,Del Monaco,Kraus and Pavarotti for
this is WAY past corelli's prime. BUT, the vocie couldnt be fucked with in his prime. he was too too much of a beast! primo tenore! but, keep in mind, there were alot of PRIMO's!
@ovideo360 A very typical teenager response, but for a 48-old guy? Of course, everyone may have his own taste and preference, but to state that Corelli 'sounds just like' Domingo...???? WTF! Ever heard of monomania? Some people are just completely blinded by their own fixation on one particular interest/admiration...
Is sad to see his face at the end. Can't undertsood that he could be afraid the audience with that voice, good looking and easy voice. But someone told to me once that he was afraid because he was homosexual and he was afraid that people could notice this at stage. If is true, is a really sad reason!
Гомосексуалист?! Господи, какую только чепуху не напишут люди! Понимаю, что этот странный комментарий написан 15 лет назад и его автор мой отклик не прочитает, если вообще он еще существует в этом мире. Но остаться равнодушным просто не возможно. Помнится, некоторые ретивые американские журналисты пытались найти доказательство гомосексуальности Франко Корелли, но к великому их разочарованию ничего найти не удалось. Им казалось странным, что такой красивый мужчина не заводит романов и интрижек на стороне, значит он непременно гей ))) P.S. ничего против геев не имею.
@boxingin what is your definition of the best tenor of all time? His voice is incapable of singing Rossini's arias with super challenging coloratura. But he is the best for Turandot for example. So it is meaningless to say the best tenor of all time.
Immenso Corelli!!!!

Üzerine bir başka ses daha- bence- yok! Çok beğenerek,hayranlıkla izliyor ve dinliyorum.🦁❤️

Целый месяц буду любить Тебя вечно❤❤

Sin duda el tenor Italiano por exelencia. Lastima que no se le ha reconocido , en la propia italia como debe ser .
Franco y caruso asi de grande

Collosal artist!!!!
Great maestro!
For me God!!!!
Grandissimo Maestro!!! Sono attonita, che passione, ach ...
Brilliant singing!BRAVO!
@Agorante The first time I heard Corelli he send shivers down my spine. I could never forget that!
That is a scream! What a wonderful trove of recordings it would be, if they still exist.
Magnificent.

Apparently, she would have a stopwatch to time his “high” notes. Insufferable. I heard this from another singer.
completamente de acuerdo
awesome tones!!
@hansquad Just what I said: he is the best tenor of all time. That's my opinion.
A very poetic aria (in Italian).☀️💟🌟
The original is in French. 🌷 🌹.
ther are many that exceed corelli. beauty is the key my friend. corelli aften sounded like a goat until the very top A, B's and C's. other than that, his instrument was a beast!! great great instrument. but it takes ALOT more than that to be great.!
There are also many who wouldn't agree with this. In order to be great you only need to be great, that's all.
A little uneven?
He sang how many arias in a row in one evening?
You're entitled to your taste in music. May I just respectfully disagree vehemently castorp278. I just love the great Corelli and at age 50, as he is here, to blast a perfect Bb is just wonderful. He was one of the all time greats. So there!
I totally disagree with what you say. I think Corelli is the best Tenor of all time.
These rumors are actually true! I spoke with several singers who all sang with Corelli and they all said the same thing!
but nobobody's like Il Divo Franco Corelli...
Non rispondermi, se tu non conosci l'italiano. Ho scritto precisamente, che io sono incantata da Lui. Punto. Se ti non piace Corelli non visitare la sua pagina.

Ben detto...evviva i Leoni della nostra gloriosa Italia operistica.
Guai a chi me li tocca
Well castorp, we agree on Pavarotti. He inspired me to begin my love of opera after seeing the 3 tenors. In fact, at the age of 45, in 1990, I took singing lessons for 3 years, just out of love of Italian opera.

You'll probably rip me up but I don't claim to be taken seriously. My cousin put the vid up there. It was my uncles 70th. I'm a piano bar pianist/singer in Chicago for 35 years. Good talking to ya.
domingo, pavarotti, del monaco, gigli, caruso, vickers, tucker, marti, damn, theres too too many...your point?
It's ridiculous to compare Corelli to Pavarotti.
They were both great artists. I saw them both
and I'm sorry that fans on this site continue to make

Who exactly had the biggest Bb? Tucker? Del Monaco? Lauritz Melchior?
corelli @ 50 was NOT his prime. PRIME=when the instrument os AT its best.there WERE MANY PRIMO's eazy nemorino! che buffone
this is WAY past corelli's prime. BUT, the vocie couldnt be fucked with in his prime. he was too too much of a beast! primo tenore! but, keep in mind, there were alot of PRIMO's!

the best O Paradiso is Bergonzi
