Дорогой Франко Корелли, где обитает сейчас твоя душа ?!… она живет сегодня в каждой улыбке , которую ты рождаешь своим чарующим пением! Сегодня в 2024 году идет война… а ты подарил Вселенной свой голос, вкладывал с мастерство годы жизни и осчастливил многие поколения, и в прошлом, и в будущем! Господи, спасибо за голос и за сохраненные видеоматериалы! Чувства переполняют и нет слов все выразить.. слезы, боль, радость и блаженство… все смешалось! Очень похоже на его голос

TO THE ART CRITICS OUT THERE WHO WISH TO KNIT PICK LIKE GNATS IN THE FOOTHILLS OF EVEREST.......I SAY TO YOU....GET A LIFE!!!
What an amazing performance, and how very wonderful that it has been made available publicly. In my opinion Franco Corelli was, by far, the most extraordinary of tenors. I have never heard his equal.
Power, integrity, humility, honesty, wrapped up in one word, beauty. Of the voice, of the man. There are critics of him and I acknowledge their undoubted erudite opinions, but, to me, Franco was the greatest tenor of the 20th century. No other tenor conveys to me the meaning of the word 'heroic'. He is, tenor as hero, unsurpassed in the power and beauty of his singing.
Chris, yes. he is almost unbelievable in his human wonder. erudite means nothing. human power and surpassing beauty and the innocence to share it with us unashamed and unembarrassed - THAT is worth something. Everything.
this performance shows sadly what we miss today so much: real artists with deep souls ! and no computer will ever be able to do this! Great souls live forever! Corelli lived his God given talent to the best! What a gift he left us --real food for our souls ! Grazie mille, grande maestro !!!!
It's touching to see how he is sooo insecure, uptight and nervous at the beginning of the concert and how he is getting more and more rrelaxed up to a point where he shows his gorgeous smile at the very end, when the frenetic ovations of the audience have reasured him of its great pleasure and of his success.
WOW... I was a student of Jerome Heinz who was one of Francos best friends. Got to know him a little. I’m just gonna come out and say this and I’m sure I’m going to get blasted for it. I never heard another Tenor that could match him on top. Was just huge and piercing and he made it look like it was Ez. The world is waiting for another 6 foot three Tenor with tremendous high notes and voice that looks like James Bond. Probably going to have to wait for a long while though. Franco was a gift and a force of nature. God gave us one Franco… :-) I hope some others can emulate and learn from him.
Assolutamente il migliore. Il principe dei tenori. Secondo a nessuno. La sua forza nella voce e il suo bel timbro non si confondono con nessun altro. Grande Corelli. In tutto ciò che ha cantato ha messo l'anima e l'ha trasmesso. In questo è la sua grandezza. ❤❤❤
Formidable singing, just out of this world. He satisfies both beauty and power that we may look for in a voice. What a programme to perform all in one go as well. Incredible stamina and strength. Godly.
Thank God this recital has been preserved. There is more than enough magnificent singing in these performances to ensure his place as one of the greatest voices of all time.
Ascoltare altri tenori ti rendi ancor piu conto della sua maestosità. Grande, meraviglioso !!!!!!! Una voce unica , possente, ma anche dolce , accorata, sofferente....insomma un sublime interprete perche cantavi con tutto il tuo essere ....cantavi col cuore. Sei immenso e non passa giorno che la tua meravigliosa voce mi raggiunga.❤❤❤
BU-LABO! BU-LABO! Hearing the normally reserved Japanese audience go nuts was something else. And the generosity Franco showed giving them encore after encore was truly classy. This was a fabulous example of the heights humanity can aspire to.
Mi vergogno a dire che, pur avendo udito il suo nome molte volte, per la prima volta ne ascoltò il canto.Penso che la consapevolezza che ora ho del bel suo canto che mi sono perso sia la giusta punizione. Un fraseggio sublime , una voce dalle trasparenze incantevoli, interpretazioni tecnicamente eccezionali ma vissute con trasmessa passione.Grande maestro.Spero possa perdonarmi.
You tio parrots are growing more ridiculous by the hour .Either post proof opera houses are wired for LIVE amplification ,or stop this nonsense .I bet you can't come up with any proof because , needless to say ,opera houses AREN'T wired ,so better stop this talk as long as you still have a shred of credibility to cling onto .Or don't stop , and show everybody how ridiculous you can become when you set your mind to it
@@numetutelare Is your reply meant to say something but you were all of a sudden challenged by whole sentences, or are you habitually challenged by arguments? Oh wait, I know, your intention was to show everybody how ridiculous you can become when you set your mind to it... Continue to whine about how singing into microphones NOT wired to any live amplification system helps singers in OPERA HOUSES. One really wonders how all of you have spent your formative years, if you can't understand something this simple, no amplification without speakers at the other end of the wire. No physics classes in your part of the world or it's just you being averse to elementary science?
Sublime! A voice for the ages~! A man with refinement, respectful, rapport with his audiences, radiant, remarkable voice - I could go on.... Thank you, Franco for bringing joy to the world with your voice. ♥♥♥♥
And how do you believe we got this recording if there was no microphone? The microphone is clearly visible at the 2:51 mark. No opera singer sings into a mic a few inches away, not then, and not now, unless it is a mic fixed on their costume for broadcast. The execution of the Rigoletto arias is garbage, and the others, while better, aren't much better.
@@potusumanbibingka Only blood cells are in my blood. Musical education guides my understanding, not so much yours apparently. But good to know that mindless adoration is in your blood...
@@alexingresss2420 Callas, Nilsson, Di Stefano, Lauri-Volpi, Bergonzi, Kirsten, Pavarotti, Pryce, von Karajan among other great musicians in the past laud about the musicality of Corelli. Your comments through your "music education" are irrelevant and nonsense. Nevertheless, the audience's reaction to his performance speaks of how great he is.
What a performance. And what an amazing crowd. They showed how much they appreciated the performance and he didn't want to leave! He came back out about five times after the end of the show :D
Nothing amazing about the audience's reaction ,it was a recital concert. Who buys tickets for a recital? Only fans. Would you shell out good money for a recital of a singer you don't like? You wouldn't , unless you're a hater and go there with the express purpose to boo ,which few people do. So what we see here is the typical ecstatic fan crowd.
@musicfa7379 as opposed to an audience of non-fans? That is the weakest argument I’ve ever heard. The audience was astounding. Stop smearing greatness with your mediocre mind
Come bersi,a 50 anni le larve tenorili di oggi...Che artista fenomenale!!!In "ch'ella mi creda"conta sulle dita la lunghezza dell'acuto...perfezionista assoluto...altro che il livello" ipogeico" attuale dei cantanti.
I don't mean to seem mean spirited in underlining what was missed by those who hadn't the chance to hear Franco Corelli in person, but I can assure you that no kind of mechanical reproduction such as it used here can ever even begin to give the listener an accurate impression of the truly startling brilliance of his top notes.
I had the thrill of hearing him sing Calaf in 1974, his last season with the Met. Still tall and handsome, magnificent voice, command of the stage was extraordinary. Wise enough to retire at the top of his game. Needless to say his Nessun Dorma brought me to tears.
Bravissimo! I had the honor of hearing Corelli and Nilsson sing Turandot at the Met during the 1970''s. 2 of the greatest singers in history! Back then, the Met also had: Sutherland, Pavarotti, Domingo, Caballe, Price, Horne, Cossotto, Tebaldi, Freni, Tucker, Merrill, Milnes, Carreras, Gedda, Kraus, Moffo, Rysanek, Ghiaurov.. What do we have today? Don't get me started!
@@sugarbist I counted the performances I could find in online sources and came up with only ~75 .would you mind sharing your source? FC began singing Turandot only in the very late 1950's and in earnest only after 1960 .This leaves 16 years career and an average of 4-5 extra Turandot performances every year to account for your ~80 extra performances . It seems unlikely to me as Turandot isn't staged every year .Singing 9-10 performances every other year or 15 performances every three years seems even more unlikely for a singer who had a Met contract ,even if he could find the time it would hardly be during the season and he would prefer recital concerts to opera performances as concerts are more lucrative anyway .I know he did manage to squeeze in 10 extra performances in one season during his first years with the Met but my guess is he was fulfilling old contractual obligations while his new contractual obligations weren't yet too demanding
@@krrainey77 Blanket statement as pretext to tell us FC was a god? Don't tell me you have listened to "most" tenors at 50 ,do you have any idea how many tenors have left recordings? We are sitting on a 120 years recording legacy .You haven't listened to "most" tenors ,you have listened to only a few ,if you have listened at all . Cherry picking can validate any perspective
Nessuno come.lui oltre una voce meravigliosa a nche un uomo bellissimo con una presenza scenica grandiosa io l'ho nm sempre adorato ma adesso che di voci così potenti e calde ce ne sono poche lo apprezzo ancora di più
Per : gli intenditori ,di tecnica del fraseggio della respirazione : ,,sentite come poneva le note ????: a fior di labbra !!!!! Tutto sul fiato !!!!! Questa e' grande tecnica oltre ad avere una grande voce espressiva ed un fraseggio comprensibile a Tutti !!!,era un GRANDE NON HA ANIENTE D'INVIDIARE A NESSUNO!!!!! MITICO. MARI
I heard a few comments on here saying he messed up his lyrics, Big freaken deal!!! Who hasn't messed up on lyrics?? As gkreno1 said This is singing!!! God bless him!!
Excellent! What a voice! Still no one can beat him. Thank you for uploading this video. I wish I was born 20 years earlier to listen to this performance live!!!
And to add a note to the many enthusiastic accolades below, let me say that King Corelli's sublime encore performance of "Core n'grato" has such expressive power, it will surely tear your heart out!
At times I've come upon recordings by Corelli and wondered what all the fuss was about. But now I understand; this concert says it all! Che magnifico!!
Огромное спасибо за возможность послушать прекрасного тенора из плеяды знаменитых теноров,прошлого века.Я сама из первой половины 20-го века,тогда попса еще не успела оттоптать уши и заменить бельканто на безстыдную фанеру.Франко Корелли демонстрирует бесподобную итальянскую школу и мощный с запредельным диапазоном вокал.
Franco had the most powerful beautiful tenor voice of any tenor voice I have ever heard.He had a very secure upper register and could sing the most sublime diminuendi and always sang from the heart with expression and feeling more than any other tenor I have listened to . Corelli was the complete package.
@@numetutelare Certainly, Corelli Tucker and Del Monaco all had large enough voices to fill any theater. I never heard Tucker live, but a friend of mine tells me that his top was larger than Corelli's and perhaps MDM's as well. However Tucker's center register was not as large as the 2 tenor's. I saw Corelli circa 1962 at the Met in Trovatore. He was thrilling and the voice did fill the theater. I saw MDM a year later at a recital at Carnegie Hall. His voice was better live and Larger than Corelli's top to bottom. A 91 year old friend of mine who died a few years ago, told me that Gino Penno's voice might have been the largest middle center voice he ever heard. My father saw Lauri Volpi in Italy several times and said that his voice traveled "vibrations"further than any tenor He ever heard. Other great large voices were Zenatello, Martinelli, Slezak, Filippeschi and Melchior. But I obviously never heard them in the theater. Enjoy
@@numetutelare The most powerful voice to me was Del Monaco. In an interview here on YT, Corelli, Zucker and Hines talking about MDM, Jerome Hines states that upon hearing Del Monaco for the first time in 1951 in an Aida rehearsal at the Met. " It was the most Gigantic sound I ever heard anywhere" and the rest of the cast watched with their mouths opened. I'm I right Franco? Corelli replied " It's true, It's true.
@@leonoradelagardie Dear Leonora, after more than an year silence, you come back with such a platitude?! It may come as an unwelcome surprise to people like you who don't understand either art form, and watch singers just to get their erotic fill, but there are people like me who understand both art forms, opera AND ballet. Hold on onto the idea and try not to buckle under the weight of the revelation.
@@leonoradelagardie Dear Leonora, you are confused. I am not hurt. YOUR feelings are hurt, otherwise you wouldn't have replied to my making fun or your ridiculous definition of what makes an artist, you would have simply ignored me. You didn't ignore me. You were so hurt it was worth to you to reply after a year. Not only is your definition of "artist" most entertaining for those who understand something of opera, your logic is also most entertaining for... well to practically anyone who went to school and didn't sleep through classes.
Anche oggi abbiamo iniziato la giornata con questo concerto.....meravigliosa performance !!!!!!! Vedere il tuo bellissimo sorriso.....sentire la tua voce stupenda in ogni sua sfaccettatura.......che dire? Grazie ❤️❤️
when franco sang, it's like when I see Messi and Federer playing soccer and tennis respectevely, wow, what geniuses they are, no matter if franco is not alive, his music remains in all our souls forever. Thx Maestro.
E' senza dubbio alcuno il più grande. Quando canta 'O sole mio ad un certo punto hanno dovuto lanciare i lacrimogeni sul pubblico che non la smetteva più di applaudire.
Franco CORELLI il grande. Tenore !!!!!tenore !!!!!! Espressivo ,incisivo le sue interpretazioni sono solo ed unicamente mirabili ,sconvolgenti stupende …ascoltandolo diventi CORELLIDIPENDENTE. MARI
Non è molto che l'ho scoperto e le devo dare ragione. Piuttosto tra poco è il 15° anniversario della sua dipartita (sarà in cielo a deliziare l' Onnipotente con la sua inegualiabile voce). Si potrebbe fare una petizione alla RAI che promuova uno speciale per questo Grandissimo della Lirica Italiana che tiene alto il nome della nostra Patria.
Amazing concert! Great to see how he changes and gets confidence from the horrible start (he get the lyrics wrong and get nervous) to the amazing finish (that diminuendo at 47:11!!!!). Thanks for posting

Редкое сочетание внешней красоты и Голоса...
😮piu’ l’ascolto e piu’ mi rendo conto che Corelli e’ ad un livello tale da non consentire paragoni..!!!

Сказочное удовольствие от сказочного пения сказчно красивого необыковенно красивого
Мужественное исполнение
I’ve heard that Corelli had pretty bad stage fright!
Look the man had looks to die for and a voice from god. Lots of jealous singers. Who couldn’t touch him
Pavarotti had great respect for Corelli.

god gave us one and aren't we lucky
sounds like you have lived an interesting life...and who would deny Corelli was a Giant?
Corelli was handsomer than any of the James Bonds.
Bravo bravo y bravo con esto digo todo no tengo palabras

I am a basso. Each day when I am going on the rehearsals I listen to this glorious show. I just love Franco
me too
I used to listen to Mario Lanza before I discovered Franco Corelli. A phenomenon!
BU-LABO! BU-LABO!

Indeed, a wonderful thing to see
ovakav talenat se radj jednom i nikada vise. fenomenalan tenor, predivno ponasanje na scen. ne sme se nikada zaboraviti

The applause for Franco Corelli will go on to the end of time.
Совершенство! Как же волнение украшало его..
I heard a few comments on here saying he messed up his lyrics, Big freaken deal!!! Who hasn't messed up on lyrics?? As gkreno1 said This is singing!!! God bless him!!
Who cares about the lyrics!! Look at that GORGEOUS man & listen to that Voice of Pure Liquid Gold!!
Who is watching in time of corona epidemic?
Me. I am watching and taking great comfort in a genius shared.
Me. In south korea, i am watching. Franco was the world best singer.
I’m watching post corona, in Rotterdam , the Netherlands from Australia
Excellent! What a voice! Still no one can beat him. Thank you for uploading this video. I wish I was born 20 years earlier to listen to this performance live!!!
You will hear him again I hope we plan to bring him back as a hologram live in concert with Maria Callas
Vocalità possente , che riscosse in quel periodo grande successo in tutto mondo
Che altro dire di un capolavoro come Franco Corelli? IMMENSO❤️❤️❤️
And to add a note to the many enthusiastic accolades below, let me say that King Corelli's sublime encore performance of "Core n'grato" has such expressive power, it will surely tear your heart out!
At times I've come upon recordings by Corelli and wondered what all the fuss was about. But now I understand; this concert says it all! Che magnifico!!
Was für eine schöne, kraftvolle Stimme !!!
Schöner Mann tolle Stimme ich habe ihm beim Abschied Konzert in Wien gehört...war ein tolles Erlebnis
Огромное спасибо за возможность послушать прекрасного тенора из плеяды знаменитых теноров,прошлого века.Я сама из первой половины 20-го века,тогда попса еще не успела оттоптать уши и заменить бельканто на безстыдную фанеру.Франко Корелли демонстрирует бесподобную итальянскую школу и мощный с запредельным диапазоном вокал.
Я с Вами!!! Как Вы прекрасно и точно написали!!!!

Franco had the most powerful beautiful tenor voice of any tenor voice I have ever heard.He had a very secure upper register and could sing the most sublime diminuendi and always sang from the heart with expression and feeling more than any other tenor I have listened to . Corelli was the complete package.
Yes indeed!
Powerful yes, most powerful no, But maybe the most powerful you ever heard
@@sugarbist Who is most powerful for you ?
@@numetutelare Certainly, Corelli Tucker and Del Monaco all had large enough voices to fill any theater. I never heard Tucker live, but a friend of mine tells me that his top was larger than Corelli's and perhaps MDM's as well. However Tucker's center register was not as large as the 2 tenor's. I saw Corelli circa 1962 at the Met in Trovatore. He was thrilling and the voice did fill the theater. I saw MDM a year later at a recital at Carnegie Hall. His voice was better live and Larger than Corelli's top to bottom. A 91 year old friend of mine who died a few years ago, told me that Gino Penno's voice might have been the largest middle center voice he ever heard. My father saw Lauri Volpi in Italy several times and said that his voice traveled "vibrations"further than any tenor He ever heard. Other great large voices were Zenatello, Martinelli, Slezak, Filippeschi and Melchior. But I obviously never heard them in the theater. Enjoy
@@numetutelare The most powerful voice to me was Del Monaco. In an interview here on YT, Corelli, Zucker and Hines talking about MDM, Jerome Hines states that upon hearing Del Monaco for the first time in 1951 in an Aida rehearsal at the Met. " It was the most Gigantic sound I ever heard anywhere" and the rest of the cast watched with their mouths opened. I'm I right Franco? Corelli replied " It's true, It's true.
What a voice and what an amazing personality and he looks wow!!!!!!
We women love his very virile rendition of "Che gelida manina" What an artist!
WE women or just YOU woman?
Your definition of what little it takes to make an artist is most original.
@@arepo Better stick to ballet if you don't understand...
,
@@leonoradelagardie Dear Leonora, after more than an year silence, you come back with such a platitude?! It may come as an unwelcome surprise to people like you who don't understand either art form, and watch singers just to get their erotic fill, but there are people like me who understand both art forms, opera AND ballet. Hold on onto the idea and try not to buckle under the weight of the revelation.
Sorry to hurt your feelings
@@leonoradelagardie Dear Leonora, you are confused. I am not hurt. YOUR feelings are hurt, otherwise you wouldn't have replied to my making fun or your ridiculous definition of what makes an artist, you would have simply ignored me. You didn't ignore me. You were so hurt it was worth to you to reply after a year. Not only is your definition of "artist" most entertaining for those who understand something of opera, your logic is also most entertaining for... well to practically anyone who went to school and didn't sleep through classes.
The ultimate musical instrument .it overshadows all .this voice is unique
Thank you for the Wonderful Treat ❤️
Commovente! E al contempo sobrio, naturale, elegante!
Anche oggi abbiamo iniziato la giornata con questo concerto.....meravigliosa performance !!!!!!! Vedere il tuo bellissimo sorriso.....sentire la tua voce stupenda in ogni sua sfaccettatura.......che dire? Grazie ❤️❤️
stupendo!
Immenso Franco !!! Provo una commozione grandissima nel risentirlo, nel rivederlo ! Grazie per sempre per tutto quello che ci hai dato Franco !

+Antonio Gutierrez Great comment.
John Oregan God bless you
BRAVO Maestro Antonio!
Antonio Gutierrez s
¡Cuánta razón te asiste, Antonio!Hace, relativamente, poco que he descubierto a esa incomparable supervoz.Inconmensurable, único, lástima Q E P D
increíble su volumen en los agudos naturales.bien colocado la voz de cabeza
Come Corelli ne nascono uno ogni cento anni. Grande Franco 👏👏👏
E' senza dubbio alcuno il più grande. Quando canta 'O sole mio ad un certo punto hanno dovuto lanciare i lacrimogeni sul pubblico che non la smetteva più di applaudire.
Franco CORELLI il grande. Tenore !!!!!tenore !!!!!! Espressivo ,incisivo le sue interpretazioni sono solo ed unicamente mirabili ,sconvolgenti stupende …ascoltandolo diventi CORELLIDIPENDENTE. MARI
Non è molto che l'ho scoperto e le devo dare ragione. Piuttosto tra poco è il 15° anniversario della sua dipartita (sarà in cielo a deliziare l' Onnipotente con la sua inegualiabile voce). Si potrebbe fare una petizione alla RAI che promuova uno speciale per questo Grandissimo della Lirica Italiana che tiene alto il nome della nostra Patria.
Corelli era bravissimo ed il popolo giapponese è quello che più di tutti e da sempre ,adora la musica lirica ed il "bel canto "italiano...
Oltre la,voce un grande uomo senza macchia umiltà la consapevolezza di essere il più grande eppure l umiltà dell ultimo ❤️ sei ogni giorno con mė
Vero!!!!!
vero!!!!!!!
O dó de peito mais potente que já ouvi. Graças a Deus por me permitir ouvi-lo!!!
A GREAT man, a great singer
Amazing concert! Great to see how he changes and gets confidence from the horrible start (he get the lyrics wrong and get nervous) to the amazing finish (that diminuendo at 47:11!!!!). Thanks for posting
Learning so much from this even though I’m a baritone. Awesome opera singer.
Bravo Chris Simmonds. Best of the 20th century. Glorious voice and heroic
one of the 10 Greatest Tenors in history....Franco Corelli
No,one of the three greatest tenors. Together with Gigli and Bjorling.
@@repr0bate1А Ланца а Дель МОнако ?
