  • Onegin - thank you so much for adding these wonderful clips of Corelli and Ligabue. I teach at the Royal College, Royal Academy and Royal Northern College of Music in the UK. The only hope out art-form has of survival is the accessibility of performances like this to the younger generation. You are performing a great service and I hope that the You Tube administrators realize that. Viva Onegin 65!

  • These wonderful excerpts from Aida preserve one of Corelli's greatest roles. The combination of the huge high notes, virile timbre, handsome appearance, and restrained, effective acting cannot be beat.

  • @Cantormatis its called a morendo (a gradual dying away)

  • Lovely voices...my favourite opera of all time.

  • Gracias Onegin65

  • corelli is caught here after his golden years, but it's still a respectable rendition.

    but ligabue is a real discovery to me. an underestimated singer: gorgeously beautiful voice, always round and strong, no strain to be heard, wonderfully rich and easy trom the bottom to the top. thank you!!

  • BRAVI!

  • Of course, my mistake! Corelli's thrilling performance of teh aria "Celese AIda" which he caps with a dazzling high B-flat that he immediately scales back to an ardent pianissimo, an effect Verdi requested in his score but that few tenors are capable of delivering comfortably.

    And the Strata in "Trovatore" brings me to tears.

    Bellismio!

  • I love Corelli, one of my favorites ever, but... high C? Where? And when Verdi intended it? In which opera?

  • FRANCO CORELLI: The more Heroic Radames, the more Expressive the fairest level of vocal and acting, without a doubt the most beautiful tenor voice and appropriate for this grand opera of eternal Master G. Verdi.

    * Thanks *Onegin65* by Permanent Remember this!

  • I agree with Cavaradossi10, Onegin has shown wonderful dedication in posting these wonderful gems from the past for all of us to enjoy. The total contribution from ultiple operas is priceless and has given me hours of enjoyment.

  • Corelli is still one of the best if not the best Radames. Not many after him were able to sing the high c out like Verdi intended. Powerful but still with emotion.
