You see some Corelli fan gives me a minus-- oh well sorry for my opinion and domingo's

[Michaelbos]

This is what a tenor should be.

[crevoska]

Both Corelli and Tucker are great singers.

I think comparing the 6 seconds' Vittoria from Tucker with the 11 seconds' Vittoria from Corelli is not fair.

Everyone would lose his breath after holding a B flat for such a long time. Your opinion looks a bit like a provocation.

[1stJJ]

Can't fault Tucker on this.

[GermanOperaSinger]

The greatest spinto tenor ever.

[pearlmuth3]

"the biggest high B of any tenor in his time and even Domingo said in two interviews, Tucker had the "biggest high B I ever heard" CORELLI SANG IT IN LONDON ON ANOTHER POST HERE AND AFTER A LONG B HE HAS AN ODD SOUNDING COUPLE OF LOW NOTES AND MISSES A COUPLE OF WORDS, TUCKER'S B WAS LARGER AND HE HAD STRONGER LOW NOTES THEN CORELLI, NOT THAT CORELLI DID NOT HAVE A TERRIFIC VOICE, HE DID ESPECIALLY FOR TURANDOT LIVE, TERRIFIC.
