Herlea was the best of all baritones of the 20th century. I have seen him a couple of times in Bucuresti in the 60ties, in Troubadour, Un Ballo in Maschera, Rigoletto and Traviata ( with Virginia Zeani and later with Maria Slatinaru ). Insuperabile !

Nicolae Herlea career came during the Communist times in Eastern Europe. He was the top Roumanian singer. Artists from that unfortunate period very rarely performed outside of Europe. He was the best Figaro in "The Barber of Seville" together with Italian Ettore Bastianini.

Calin Scutareanu Herlea Titan ?! ahahahahahahahahahahahahah ! e che cosa di titanico c'era nella sua vocalità calante del baritono rossiniano vero ?!... le registrazioni di Herlea sono una dolce illusione . dal vivo era un'altra cosa ... Nicolae scuriva la sua vocalità per farsi passare per quello che non aveva in verità cioè la voce del baritono drammatico vero ! prima di conoscere Herlea e la sua voce rossiniana sempre credevo che uno baritono drammatico vero deve cantare un sol naturale grave tranquillo e avere una bellissima voce di petto come era il caso di Bastianini,Guelfi,Reali, Warren, MacNeil,Popov e compagnia ... dal vivo il suo idolo cantava il repertorio del baritono drammatico con una vocalità ''gonfiata'' totalmente priva del registro di petto ! Nicolae era un bravo Figaro,Eletskiy,Oneghin,Posa e mi fermo qua. un baritono senza registro grave come era Herlea se mi ricordo bene negli anni 1958 era considerato da tenore corto ... Ramon Vinay era tenore e cantava il repertorio tenorile con una vocalità molto più scura di Herlea e nel registro grave aveva uno buono sol naturale, una cosa che Herlea poteva soltanto sognare visto che con grande difficoltà cantava il si naturale grave ... no comment .

@DonPaolissimo I was there too - and I heard Corelli twice in Don Carlo at the Met - and both times he took the High C at the end of this MOST MAGNIFICENT DUET! They say no one does this anymore because today's conductors won't permit it ...I think it's because the current crop of tenors actually couldn't do it ....

You have to ask yourself the question, did Verdi write the Top C at the end of this Duet. I rather think not. Corelli playing to the Gallery again with an interpolated top note. It spoils it for me. This is why most conductors stick rigidly to the score.

@@waynewilliams4706 I hate to disagree with you, and sorry to read that Franco's addition spoils it for you ... I understand and completely agree with staying strictly to the score for Puccini and the other verismo composers .... However, for bel canto operas of Rossini, Bellini e Donizetti, the vocal line was always subject to "embellishments" including alternative cadenzas and high notes.. And that includes subject to the taste of the singers. There's a famous time that Jenny Lind sang "Una voce poco fa" for Rossini, and she embellished it so much that at the end, Rossini quipped: "what a lovely aria, who wrote it." Egad what a critic.... Verdi started out as an inheritor of the bel canto tradition, and many of his operas - including the middle period, have been subject to alternative embellishments. The great Mexico City La Traviata in 1952 with Callas, she interpolated a high eflat at the end of the Second Act - it's sung piano not fortissimo - and it is so evocative of Violetta's embarrassment.. It's exquisite. Granted Don Carlo is relatively late Verdi, and so perhaps should not have been subject to this embellishment. Of course, Don Caro has been "adjusted" - if not mangled so many times (4 Acts, 5 Acts, cut this, omit that) that I find it difficult to fault Corelli. In those days too when he sang at the Met and in Philadelphia, it was only a 4-act version of Don Carlo - and you lost the entire Fontainebleau scene....

@@joannilson2900 For the record, in my collection, i have 28 cds, tapes, and records of Don Carlo, even some live recordings from radio 3. Not in one of these does the Tenor end the Duet in question with a Top C. Can you imagine what a strict Disciplinarian like Riccardo Muti would think. It would never be allowed. Perhaps the only other Tenor who would have attempted it would be Bonisolli, another Gallery player, and a Conductors Nightmare. Also in the Duet, a little more Tenderness at the right moments from Corelli would not have gone amiss.

If you want to hear a better and more normal version of the Don Carlo duet, look no further than Ettore Bastianini and Flaviano Labo on the Santini Set. Here both singers Blend Beautifully with no exaggerated claims, no silly high C from the tenor attempting to score points from the Baritone and receive Bravo Shouts from the Claque.

@JoanLorraineN Absolutely right - today's tenors couldn't touch Corelli's top notes!

@brodsky96 I can only presume that one reason for Verdi to write the same note for both was to emphasize the idea of tea. The last words are: "Moriremo insieme", i.e. "We shall die together" , so they are probably ought to finish in the same note, not in different ones (they do things together, not separately).

The complete broadcast performance is availabe through the Met Player or Rhapsody music.

🎭👏

Wasn't that the performance where Corelli had an attack of nerves and skipped his grand entrance in the Auto da Fe? Was anyone else out there in the Old Met for that performance? The entire ensemble froze, Leonie Rysanek rolled her eyes, and the Flemish deputies looked utterly panic-stricken but they continued to sing until Corelli finally put in his appearance, sword drawn, and very much to everyone's relief. Rysanek mentioned this particular performance in an interview - and it certainly has a place of honour in my memories of a heavily opera-laden life. (My personal opinion is that Corelli might have avoided his panic attack without the high C at the end of the duet!)

Precisely. I prefer the 1961 version with Sereni. The 1972 Met version had Corelli past his prime (chickened out of the added high C at the end replacing it with an ugly effect) and young Milnes trying to out-tenor the tenor, as usual (easy task with Domingo, impossible with Corelli at ANY age), but both were too concerned with getting through vocally to bother about expression. A pity, because this is one of the most beautiful operatic duets ever.

Lucia ballarini

@calinmiron Actually, the last words are 'Grido estremo sarà: Libertà!'- 'Our last cry will be: Freedom!'. Doesn't change much about your main point though.

Corelli is not in Manrico but Raoul

Why sempre fortissimoe and also here , beaides the middle part, too fast.It is a " marcia funebre" anouncing Rodrigues death.

Corelli est en Raoul de Nangis

Se nota una competencia feroz por ver quién tiene más voz y quién paga el precio de esta lucha encarnizada es la musicalidad armónica del dueto... En vez de armonizar sus voces las confrontan.... Es espectacular pero no es bello.

Herlea, a splendid baritone instrument in the Bastianini manner but with little subtlety in expression. Rodrigo‘s death scene sounds like the character was only suffering a simple flesh wound. Too bad but, as the late Paul Jackson mentioned in his second book of MET Broadcasts, Herlea‘s initial timbre is initially exciting & a good match for Corelli who feels compelled, perhaps, to add a high C at the end of their duet in a competitive response. Still, a little ˋHerlea fix ´ is welcome once in awhile despite providing a limited artistic experience.

Is the Last Liberta High C?

Why the pitch is half tone lower? Is the speed coreect or is it too slow?

Great voices, but each artist follows his own tempo; the overall effect is that they are just sharing the same stage, not really singing together.

난 왜! 이 바리톤을 이제 알았지?

In this duet Herlea is just on top of almost every note. Sounds out of tune much of the time. One of the few baritones who could match size of voice with Corelli. I heard Corelli several times but never Herlea. Would have liked to, though. I understand it was a huge voice.

I've been told by my teacher that singers, especially those with gigantic voices, have trouble hearing the orchestra over their own voice, leading to some intimation problems. Herlea's pure sound alone makes up for any inaccuracies!

Herlea - come sempre durante le sue recite calante e sovente al limite del grido ... come spesso diceva la sua pianista negli anni 70 : - Nicolae e' un baritono sbagliato ! e poi rideva ... una registrazione spesso e' una illusione dolce e viceversa ... Corelli - immenso . questa e' la mia modesta opinione .
