Esta interpretación es al final de una larga entrevista que le hacen al Gran Maestro luego de algunos años que se habia retirado, en la plenitus de su voz y apoteótica fama
Apparently, for some people, Corelli is a bad singer and untalented, but don´t make mistake; Corelli was the greatest tenor of all time, equal to bjoerling or caruso. Domingo never dominated the upper area ofthe tenor, is not free to produce their high-zone sounds. Most of their performances the sound is muffled or inconsistent. IMO Corelli is the best included this Granada.
No sé porque Franco tuvo tantas críticas alguna vez que decían que su voz no tenía profesionalismo ni técnica, que la resonancia no era buena, etc, etc. En verdad no sé de dónde sacaron eso los críticos antiguos! Franco INCREÍBLE!
Corelli's spendid resonance and enormous tone, plus his eye-opening acuti, ease of production, control of mezza voce and heartfelt interpretations, make him one of the greatest tenors on record.
Corelli era italiano al igual que Pavarotti, este clip del Granada de Corelli es un de tantos ejemplos que demuestran que Pavarotti no tenía muchas habilidades con los idiomas, ya tenía el suerte que era italiano por que si llega a ser norte europeo estoy convencido que no hubiera hecho la fama ni el dinero que hizo. Pero es verdad, tenía una personalidad y voz grande.
Franco Corelli, além de ter sido a melhor "Granada" cantada pelos tenores é um magistral dublador. O som é de estúdio e a imagem colhida numa entrevista com a Birgte Nilsson, na Suécia.
I've recently been arranging this piece... Most folks who don't sing the original version ending on an A simply transpose it to a higher key if they want a higher end. It seems like he modulates somewhere toward the end instead... Can anyone confirm this?
en espanol hay mejores versiones incluso la de palcido es mejor por el hecho que no puede pronunciar bien el español lo mismo pasa con pavaroti sino comparen los videos estan aqui mismo
. Z wielkim szacunkiem traktuje wielu wybitnych i genialnych, którzy odeszli i tych współczesnych tenorów i musze sprawiedliwie oddać im cześć .Wielu z nich nadal BARDZO PODZIWIAM . Po wielu przemyśleniach uważam MAEST.RO CORELLIEGO za tenora wszech czasów. Wielu może oczywiście sie ze mną nie zgadzać .ale wydaje mi się że bardzo wielu melomanów przyzna mi rację, co nie umniejszy sławy innym fenomenalnym artystom i nam nie przeszkodzi .
Wonderful!!!!, no comparision with non of the mentioned tenors!!!; he was the "Boss" and will be for a long time!!! I like very much his voice and interpretation, even if he pronounces some "funny spanish words"...Bravooo!!!!
Insisto: es la más bella versión de Granada. DOMINGO, Pavarotti, Carreras ni se le acercan (por la voz y la técnica). La versión de Wunderlich es, sin embargo extraordinaria y algunos expertos podrían considerala incluso mejor que esta. Para mi, el timbre de Corelli es más hermoso. Cuestión de gusto, claro.
@nowbellhere I agree. I think Franco is using a very free rhythm though. He is not singing rhythmically the whole time. I think the orchestra is doing a decent job following him.
EL GRAN MAESTRO FRANCO CORELLI CON LA MÁS PERFECTA Y HERMOSA INTERPRETACION DE "GRANADA" . INALCANSABLE, CUALQUIER OTRA COSA QUE SE DIGA ES INUTIL.. Aquí tiene 60 años, se vé estupendo. Ejemplo para quienes se sienten viejos a los 60. !!! BRAVO GRAN MAESTRO FRANCO CORELLI!!.
Diooos, a qué hora respira este hombre hahaha maravilloso maestro, con todo y esas palabras chitosas que inventa, le da el toque otaliano a la canción =D
LA MÁS BELLA Y PERFECTA INTERPRETACIÓN DE "GRANADA", la del Gran MAESTRO Franco Corelli; jamás podrá ser superada, menos igualada, menos por el Sr. P. Domingo. No se entiende como alguién pueda cree que sí, puede ser que sólo lo escuchan a él; que lastima...pieri
boxingin...absolutely correct. The sound of a spinto has much more carry than a lyric. The next step up is dramatic such as Del Monaco. Corelli if he had started earlier could have been classified the same. Both had incredible tone and carry to their voices, though Del Monaco was often criticized for "putting the pedal to the metal" vocally too often. PPP didn't seem to be in his repetoire. Both legendary tenors.
from all the discussions and my listenings i came to a conclusion that if you want power go to a dramatic but if you want brightness and unforced delivery go to a lyric.:)
I'm sure the man understood Spanish. This interpretation and facial expressions just don't do much for me. Certainly his diction doesn't help with this.
I recognize that, my friend--I won't deny that Corelli ranks among the best--and if my comment seemed derisive it was only because I was a little disappointed.
Cantada por elGran Franco Corelli, nuevamente me gusto "Granada"; maravillosa voz, pasión, fuerza la más bella interpretación de ésta.Con 60 años,hermos a voz e inpecable, asimismo , su estupenda figura, elegante, varonil y apasionado, su rostro perfectoy juvenil se ilumina cuando canta.

@Englishtenor2 - yes it's lipsynched. Most singing on t.v. is lipsynched, and almost all singing on film is lipsynched One exception was Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady. He sang live, because he said he couldn't/ wouldn't lipsynch. As a result, his performance is the most affecting singing in the movie. Too bad more people don't sing 'live.' It's so much more exciting.
@sopranosd the unfortunate fact here is that corelli is using a 20+ year-old recording. as much as i admire his talent, this is deception and desparation. lanza sang live on television all the time in the 50's.
@jgraif Wrong on Lanza this time my friend , Lanza on live TV lip-synced to old recordings and was skewered immediately by the press for doing so. Lanza to make amends with the press and all the critic's that said he had lost his voice , invited them all to a private session where he sang as only he could and assured them his voice was as good as ever. All the Greats make mistakes in their careers this was one of Franco's.
@Etnalleb thank you for setting me straight. i really did not have the right information and i apologize. however, someone else responded to me saying that this program was supposed to be a tribute to various "retired" singers and the idea was to have them lip-sync to their old recordings!! i'm sorry, but i think that is a travesty of the worst sort. keep in touch!
well, now i know that horrible feeling italians experience when they listen to sutherland singing in their language. Beautiful singing but i couldnt get past the pronuciation
@tehen162 as much as i love corelli, it is unbelievable that he got away with lip-synching to a 20 year-old performance. you know, lanza NEVER did that, enough said.
@tehen162 and that gives him the right to mis-represent himself on television to the general public? lanza was accused of using the available recording technology to his advantage. the fact is that the recording engineers consistently faced the challenge of lanza's voice over-loading the equipment. in the late fifties, lanza performed "be my love" on television using the recorded orchestra track minus the jeff alexander choir. he sang live while smoking a cigarette.
Esta es la mejor Granada que se ha cantado.Jamas sera superada.Y despues de oir esto a cualquier cantante se le quitan las ganas de cantarla,para que?.
wow, jamas a cantado nadie asi, era increible don franco corelli, jamas habia escuchado ke alguien atacara ese agudo de esa manera, x algo es el incomparable corelli xk nadie c le compara vocalmente
Better than Pavarotti? Yes. Pavarotti does a horrible.
Domingo? Domingo does this song in his own great style. Its a perfect match for Placido.
Florez? This is the most overhyped singer i have ever heard of. He is ok, not a bad singer, but people are desperate for another great that we are willing to pick anybody. So No, not Florez.
Wunderlich does this great as well... and oh look you forgot Lanza...
"Florez? This is the most overhyped singer i have ever heard of. He is ok, not a bad singer, but people are desperate for another great that we are willing to pick anybody. So No, not Florez."
Really not my favorite song- but it's an awesome tenor showcase. I can't decide if Corelli's, Wunderlich's or Lanza's rec is my favorite.. they're all so good, although Lanza hits a C# at the end instead of C.. amazing
I never thought any-one could out sing Mario Lanza but Corelli did so on the one. Damn he blows this piece into the stratosphere.and it's Corelli who hits the High C# not Lanza. Wunderlich sang this great too but he's not in the same league as Corelli. It's Corelli,Lanza,then Wunderlich to most people who have heard all 3 sing this piece.
Lanza made two recordings of this song, one was a regular recording made for a record and the other was for the movie "Because you're mine." The one in the movie, he hit a C#5. Check it out :) Corelli's rec probably is the most technically impressive but Lanza's there with him and I just like his voice better in general but they're all great.
@Etnalleb i, too, love corelli and lanza. my problem is that this "performance" makes use of a 20 year-old recording. i find it very disappointing that corelli was so desparate that he mis-represented himself to the public on television.
@jgraif I don't understand your problem here. This film was made after Corelli's retirement, for an Italian tv show. Similar films (lipsynched) were made with other famous singers like Bergonzi, Becchi using their earlier recordings. Why would have been Corelli desparate to "misrepresent himself" seven years after his retirement? That makes absolutely no sense. This tv show did not try to suggest that these singers would have sung live or been active at the time the film was made.
@tehen162 i guess what i don't understand is the reason for a tv show that presents retired singers lip-syncing to their old recordings. i mean, where does it end? does one go on television at 90 years of age and lip-sync to a recording made at 35?
@jgraif I can understand the reason quite well. When these singers were at their peak, for most people there was no chance to see them perform. No telecasts, only broadcasts. These segments helped to imagine what was it like. Besides, previous to each aria there was an interview with the singer about the role, his life etc. This program summed up their careers presenting their most important roles in costumes. Although over 60, Corelli was far from looking like a 90 years old here.
He appears to be facing himself at a mirror, and matching lips with pre-recorded song did by himself. Anyway, his voice is so exuberant that this high C worths the show.
tenhen, I do not mean to argue but I met Corelli several times; my uncle was from his town of Ancona. I do not believe the video of him was from the 1980's. If you look at some of his early 1970's videos on You Tube you will see him starting to age a bit. He was something though and this is a great video
The video is definitely from the 80-s, precisely from 1982. Visit Rene Seghers' site (francocorelli . nl) go to the Pagliacci DVD, and Bonus II. The description of the Bonus II (which are these videos) clearly indicates 1982 as the year of recording. The booklet enclosed to the commercial DVD states the same date.
WOW, the last note is a do hi. Amazing, i dont know any aria that has this note, tell me one if you know it, any aria I imagine is lower: Nessum dorma, E lucevan le stelle, Vesti la gioubba, Torna Surriento, etc etc.
There are many. With Corelli on youtube: Di quella pira (Verdi: Trovatore, Corelli's Cs are stunning in it), Salut demeure chaste (Gounod: Faust), Sfolgoro divino raggio (Donizetti: Poliuto), A te, o cara (Bellini: I Puritani). There are many arias in the bel canto repertoire with C, the most famous one is Tonio's aria from La fille du regiment (Donizetti,9 Cs), but almost every aria written by Rossini for a tenor has at least the C, even the high D.
i love franco, but it's interesting to hear him sing in spanish. not good, but interesting :--) what a high note at the end. un grande tenore...bravissimo
Yes, it is exactly that recording, only the video was made for a tv show in the 80-s. To avoid any further misunderstanding, I updated the video description.

how awful, he sing this song worse than pavarotti and pavarotti sung it really bad. nothing to compare with wunderlich or domingo or florez
stybboon 3 years ago
half point.
Better than Pavarotti? Yes. Pavarotti does a horrible.
Domingo? Domingo does this song in his own great style. Its a perfect match for Placido.
Florez? This is the most overhyped singer i have ever heard of. He is ok, not a bad singer, but people are desperate for another great that we are willing to pick anybody. So No, not Florez.
Wunderlich does this great as well... and oh look you forgot Lanza...

Florez is a great singer, his voice is just very light. Perfect for Donizetti and other bel canto roles

the user Resendiz mentioned him. He said:
"Florez? This is the most overhyped singer i have ever heard of. He is ok, not a bad singer, but people are desperate for another great that we are willing to pick anybody. So No, not Florez."
I disagreed with him.

Really not my favorite song- but it's an awesome tenor showcase. I can't decide if Corelli's, Wunderlich's or Lanza's rec is my favorite.. they're all so good, although Lanza hits a C# at the end instead of C.. amazing
ShawDAMAN 3 years ago
I never thought any-one could out sing Mario Lanza but Corelli did so on the one. Damn he blows this piece into the stratosphere.and it's Corelli who hits the High C# not Lanza. Wunderlich sang this great too but he's not in the same league as Corelli. It's Corelli,Lanza,then Wunderlich to most people who have heard all 3 sing this piece.
Etnalleb 3 years ago
Lanza made two recordings of this song, one was a regular recording made for a record and the other was for the movie "Because you're mine." The one in the movie, he hit a C#5. Check it out :) Corelli's rec probably is the most technically impressive but Lanza's there with him and I just like his voice better in general but they're all great.
ShawDAMAN 3 years ago
@Etnalleb i, too, love corelli and lanza. my problem is that this "performance" makes use of a 20 year-old recording. i find it very disappointing that corelli was so desparate that he mis-represented himself to the public on television.
jgraif 1 year ago
@jgraif I don't understand your problem here. This film was made after Corelli's retirement, for an Italian tv show. Similar films (lipsynched) were made with other famous singers like Bergonzi, Becchi using their earlier recordings. Why would have been Corelli desparate to "misrepresent himself" seven years after his retirement? That makes absolutely no sense. This tv show did not try to suggest that these singers would have sung live or been active at the time the film was made.
tehen162 1 year ago
@tehen162 i guess what i don't understand is the reason for a tv show that presents retired singers lip-syncing to their old recordings. i mean, where does it end? does one go on television at 90 years of age and lip-sync to a recording made at 35?
jgraif 1 year ago
@jgraif I can understand the reason quite well. When these singers were at their peak, for most people there was no chance to see them perform. No telecasts, only broadcasts. These segments helped to imagine what was it like. Besides, previous to each aria there was an interview with the singer about the role, his life etc. This program summed up their careers presenting their most important roles in costumes. Although over 60, Corelli was far from looking like a 90 years old here.

He appears to be facing himself at a mirror, and matching lips with pre-recorded song did by himself. Anyway, his voice is so exuberant that this high C worths the show.

LIP SINGING MUCH ?
crazygeo81 3 years ago
Technically, if you're "lip syncing", you'd be syncing a different singer. This is simply a video of him from the 60's, with a later recording.

tenhen, I do not mean to argue but I met Corelli several times; my uncle was from his town of Ancona. I do not believe the video of him was from the 1980's. If you look at some of his early 1970's videos on You Tube you will see him starting to age a bit. He was something though and this is a great video
oyde 4 years ago
The video is definitely from the 80-s, precisely from 1982. Visit Rene Seghers' site (francocorelli . nl) go to the Pagliacci DVD, and Bonus II. The description of the Bonus II (which are these videos) clearly indicates 1982 as the year of recording. The booklet enclosed to the commercial DVD states the same date.
tehen162 4 years ago
oyde is right. He looked older in 1980. By the way he retired from stage in 1976. That does not agree with the young look in your video.
hkjazz1 3 years ago
No, I am afraid not. According to the new biography the date of the recording was 1982.

WOW, the last note is a do hi. Amazing, i dont know any aria that has this note, tell me one if you know it, any aria I imagine is lower: Nessum dorma, E lucevan le stelle, Vesti la gioubba, Torna Surriento, etc etc.
leonelfran 4 years ago
There are many. With Corelli on youtube: Di quella pira (Verdi: Trovatore, Corelli's Cs are stunning in it), Salut demeure chaste (Gounod: Faust), Sfolgoro divino raggio (Donizetti: Poliuto), A te, o cara (Bellini: I Puritani). There are many arias in the bel canto repertoire with C, the most famous one is Tonio's aria from La fille du regiment (Donizetti,9 Cs), but almost every aria written by Rossini for a tenor has at least the C, even the high D.

Yes, it is exactly that recording, only the video was made for a tv show in the 80-s. To avoid any further misunderstanding, I updated the video description.
