Oh! I'll never get over the passion and superb acting of Franco Corelli. And how well his voice "fits" with that of Simionato! Outstanding! Divine beings!

I just marvel at the size of Corelli's voice. Simionato, Callas, Nilsson, Sutherland all had huge voices and Corelli sounded like a god with all of them.

Je l'écoute 1000 fois je ne m'en lasse toujours pas.

No one tenor, nor del Monaco, had the most excitent expressive singing as Franco Corelli. Wonderful tenor forever. Greetings,

Завидую тем, кто был в это время в зрительном зале! Нет слов от восхищения!!! До мурашек!!!

Che accoppiata di sublimi artisti:l'uno portava l'altro alle più alte performances!Corelli qui é divino!

The best Don Jose EVER and the best Carmen of the many who sang this role with Corelli. Mind blowing!

Corelli è semplicemente divino !

Mai piu un jose cosi!! Corelli e una forza della natura impetuoso e dolce ,infinito struggente un attore incallito ,e talmente bravo che ti sconvolge ,ti fa piangere, adorable oltre ogni dire!!!!!!! Amore infinito!!!

Sin palabras. Senza parole. Unspeakable. BRAVO BRAVI

I first listened to a recording of this amazing performance some 40 years ago -- it still gives me chills.

Simply divine! These people sing and act their hearts out, they have taken the trouble to train their voices properly BEFORE appearing before the public, and they are even smart enough to choose repertoire that isn't too light or too heavy for them. They are examples to be followed. And btw, how Carmen could leave Don José when sung like this, I just don't understand <3

Lord, how many Carmens have I sat through without a fraction of the power and beauty of this clip! Giants, both.

This is exemplary, dynamic singing.

Superlativo Corelli ❤️

Grandissimo Corelli:un don Josè allucinato nel pensiero e già rassegnato al peggio;Simionato splendida nell'orgoglio del personaggio!Performance davvero unica!
