[Oneguin65]

Tenía el Re bemól, lo puesde escuchar en vivo en Los Hugonotes y el Trovador

The singing is wonderful, but the video looked lip-synched... Am I right? (I don't doubt that it's Corelli's voice that we hear, but I'm not convinced that he was actually singing when the filming was done.)

[Oneguin65]

I agree lip-synched. The soundtrack from complete recording with Nilsson 1965

I saw both Corelli and Pavarotti sing this role live. Both were very great tenors. But their voices were very, very different.  Corelli owned this role and Pavarotti owned Rodolfo, but I won't transpose them in those roles.

[theophano]

The first time I heard Corelli was on a live broadcast (Turandot) from the Met in the early 60's. I was absolutely stunned by the beauty and power of his voice; I had never heard anything like it nor have I yet to this day.

dificilmente habrá ptro calaf que le iguale tanto en voz como en presencia

[jgraif]

@kynnjo i love corelli, but it was "ok" for him to lip-synch on television, but not mario lanza. why?

[jgraif]

@pmuzio lanza owned both. please listen.

Voce potentissima e con un registro acuto meravigliosamente potenziato e squillante, in questo tipo di repertorio credo che abbia ben pochi rivali. SPLENDIDO.

[brunobrandy]

raige...LOL...so true.

[raigekimaru]

personally I'd rather listen to a "listen to my powerful, sexy voice" rendition of this song anyway, the plot is corny as hell. tenors may have more emotional repertoire, but there characters don't tend to be as bad ass as baritone roles (with the exception of Manrico).

Calaf: marry me

Turandot: hmm no, well maybe if I can't guess your name but I'll think about it, but if I guess it then I get to kill you.

Calaf: okay

Don G: what up ho. I'm gonna seduce you

Zerlina: okay bu

[brunobrandy]

raige...you're right on...Corelli had great

vocal control. Pavarotti of course was

a lyric tenor with a smaller voice and

not the same incredible projection.

For a guy to say he didn't regulate his

power smartly is just ignorant.

[ilvaiani]

I find Pavarotti's voice is stunning. But Corelli's makes me cry every time...

[raigekimaru]

buddy, their no hidden power in this piece whatsoever. it's all right there and you either got it or you don't. Corelli had it.
