Ho sentito altri tenori tra i più bravi ma mai nessuno con la voce di Corelli, con la sua interpretazione e il suo carisma. Tutto un altro pianeta. Questa aria del Trovatore è solo sua. È un crescendo fino ad arrivare al finale dove è lui che fa da traino all'orchestra. Spettacolare è dir poco. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Although as a Franco Corelli fan of 50 odd years, for me, the inclusion of the photo's from the opera give the aria's a new light, thank you enormously the Franco Corelli Info Center.

One of the greatest tenors of all time with a voice that filled the opera house like no other tenor I have heard except for possibly Tucker.

I know of no Live TROVATORE with Corelli where Di Quella Pira was not transposed down a half tone. HIs notorious nerves would only risk the high C in a studio where he felt a bit more relaxed & could play with mixing certain sections around sometimes rather than recording this aria straight through. As far as I know this aria in particular (or perhaps the high B flat diminuendo in CELESTE AIDA) were the only arias to get this nervous treatment. Nevertheless, his sound was so phenomenal here & elsewhere (is there a more thrilling NESSUN DORMA?) that indulging his nerves in this way does not alter the effect his timbre makes on the listener, at least for me, anyway. There are other tenors with virtues that stand apart from Corelli: Bjorling, very young Di Stefano, Fritz Wunderlich, & the incomparable Leopold Simoneau come to mind. Each of these singers were unique in their own way & should not really be compared with Corelli. There are many other superb tenors of course, & all my opinions are strictly personal & may justifiably be argued with.

According to René Segers once he sang Manrico in Pisa, nearby his hometown, Ancona. And he relearned this aria in the origilnal key, in C major, and sang it with high Cs. A know a lot of live Trovatore with him. He always sings great high D flat at the end of trio in the 1st Act, but never try high Cs is "Pira".

@labienus9968

So many tenors sing it down the half step-mostly because it's so well known and anticipated, not just his nerves-but in some cases they do because they didn't have a C or a reliable one-we know Franco had one-I think you're right Franco never sang it live. But it's not just the note, it's often the particular approach to it. Certainly he sang a C live in Turandot, routinely-Boheme-often in Romeo which was immense-the D flat/C sharp in Don Carlo etc. Don't you think the Salzburg Trovatore is better?

In the past, composers oftentimes allowed the singer to transpose their piece up or down if it was a better vocal fit. It serves no one for a singer to strangle out an aria or to be so worried about one note that the entire opera suffers for their anxiety.

So many performers suffer terribly from nerves before going on, but once on stage the "stage frights" disappears. Corelli could not have sung with such total composure as he did ( yes I heard him in the house on several occasions.) had his unfortunate nervousness continued while performing. But most tenors, including Tucker and Bergonzi, among many others transposed their arias down a half step. What is important is the quality of the sound, not the key. Corelli's high B's conveyed so much more vocal impact and excitement that a very few tenors did with their high C's. I can assure you that when Corelli sang one of his startlingly big, bright high B's the audience was not about to complain about the transposition.

His voice is already completely on decline here, lack of squillo is very strong. His voice clearly didn't age well, unlike Del Monaco and Lauri-Volpi, they both were great in their 60's

explain?

I am fully aware that Corelli is considered ,by most people, the best tenor ever but his singing does not touch me at all. Also, I don't like his heavy use of scooping/portamento and not-so-clear diction. JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION, not bashing the great artist

@ZENOBlAmusic

You gave your opinion with a lot of grace and respect. I can understand that you don't like portamento. It comes from an earlier age, other tenors such as Pertile also used it a lot, and even Caruso. It adds dynamics and emotional expression. Interestingly it is sometimes used in blues or rock singing to add more soul to the voice, and even guitarist use it. But it seems to have fallen out of fashion in opera, Corelli learned a lot of his singing singing along to older vocalist. Corelli style especially live is all about raw passion. This was obviously quite popular at the time, if you look at contemporaries such as Di Stefano and Del Monaco. But all singers do have their positive and negative sides. Corelli sang with a lot of dynamics and expression, he used a lot of different colours in the voice, to covey emotion. I do think people sometimes forget that he had a dramatic voice, he did not have a lyric voice. Whatever voice category he is placed in, he fundamentally had a dramatic voice. Dramatic voices do have certain characteristics., it is always a less flexile, very big and heavy voice. But I would say he had some of the most refinement you can find in a dramatic voice. He had very good legato for having such a big voice, and of course the diminuendo. And something that is almost never discussed was his phrasing. he had incredible phrasing. That is how he was able (along with secure high notes), to sing some of those most difficult bel canto roles such as Les Huguenots. Bianca Al Par kzread.info/dash/bejne/pJ6rs7eFpaWbiLg.html On papier he should not have been able to sing a role such as this. Corelli did suffer from an accident in his teenage years where he broke his jaw and some teeth, and this always influenced his dictation. But I don't think his dictation was always bad, it was inconsistent., sometimes it was fine and at other times it wasn't good. But overall for having a dramatic voice, he achieved the maxim level of skill you can expect from this type of voice. His phrasing should receive far more critical appreciation. But of course his voice is just never going to be quite the same as a tenor with a lyrical voice. Tenors will lyrical voices will naturally have better dictation and smoothness of line. The opposite is also true a tenor with a lyrical voice will never have as much power in the voice. People do like and appreciate different aspects of singing, we don't all have to enjoy the same singers, and we don't all connect with singers in the same way, and that is a good thing.
