I just listened to Corelli singing this and he sang it at the very same tempo, but without any of the trills and with really lousy diction, even though he was italian, very disappointing. So now I listen to Alagna, who not only executes all the trills indicated in the score, but who has really perfect diction - what does this poor guy have to do to get 5 stars?
@grendelum Corelli is remembered for being one of the best Manricos of the life of this opera, among Lauri Volpi, Martinelli, Filippeschi. Alagna is a respectable Manrico, but you can't even compare Corelli to Alagna...Corelli has a real spinto voice with huge high notes, and Alagna is a lyric tenor with a nice timbre and good temper to sing this part, that is it. Alagna is better in other operas, like French operas, Boheme, Rigoletto.
I love the fact that he at least executes (more or less) the trills in the aria. Like Corelli, he's also a sexy Manrico. It's difficult to poison oneself for the sake of other tenors.
Perfect pronounciation.

una de las mejores voces de tenor de todos los tiempo, por entrega y capacidad de emocionar y hacer entender lo que quiere decir en cada frase

This is how Alagna ruined his voice and is having to lower things mid career. Ugh. WRONG voice for the role.
