No, no: the best Dulcamaras were Sesto Bruscantini and Enzo Dara.

Corena aveva una gran voce e un gusto pessimo, gusto affinato da tanti anni al Met. Detto questo, non è possibile nessun paragone nemmeno lontano coi grandi Dulcamara del XX° secolo, in primis Bruscantini, poi Taddei e Dara

Enzo Dara? With that ugly voice and unfunny shtick? I saw Bruscantini and, much as I admire him, he was dull. Corena was superb! Corena sang and was requested by MANY theatres, and by many great conductors. Italians have a tendency to like their boring, unfunny Mariottis and Daras, simply because they sang a lot in Italy a lot. Provincialism!

That is undoubtedly why he was chosen to sing in theatre performances and major recordings by conductors such as Erich Kleiber, Dimitri Mitropoulos, Karl Bohm, Sir Thomas Beecham, Erich Leinsdorf, Georg Solti, Herbert Von Karajan, and many others.

Senza dimenticare il Dulcamara di Alfredo Mariotti, il migliore di sempre per Pavarotti!

Ah332, I totally agree. I saw him at the old Met every time I could. He was the best.
I used to sit in the Family Circle and was amazed at how tall he was. I could hear every note. What a voice.
Corelli was the only other one I could hear so distinctly.

I saw Corena at the old Met on Broadway in the early '60s. His stage presence was magnificant as he descended on stage in a wonderful ballon. It seems like he is the quintessential Dulcamara. I believe Bergonzi was Nemorino and Scotto his lost love.
I'd like to have that night over again.
grazie :-)
