Remember this is live in met, and Corelli, for me, shows the desperation of Werther. And yes, he lives in the danger sone here. Of course Gedda and Kraus sings it more perfect, more controlled, but they never had the sonority like Corelli. There must be a reason why Corelli was praised in this interpretation by metropolitan in 2007.

to each his own. I think it is an amazing interpretation, conveying pure emotions from the text. As a native french speaker, I strongly feel that he did this piece justice and the audience clearly agrees

@francocorelli02 I'm a Corelli fan as well. But F.C. was really a spinto tenor with dramatic impact where needed, as were some other great spinto tenors,like Martinelli,De Muro, Caruso,Merli,Pertile.I always enjoyed the warmness&pathos that F.C. always exuded,along with the excitement of his high notes & gentleness of his diminuendos. Enjoy

@LobsngDmchoi Could you just shut up and know that Franco Corelli is one of the greatest dramatic tenor ever

Gedda is great

but Franco is not just great

HE IS UNIQUE !!!!!!!!!!

@1948musicman You are lucky !!!!

I saw Corelli and Nilsson together in Turandot at the Met. in 1974 (I think) and although his voice has lost the youthful bloom of his earlier years he was magnificent and glorious. The high C in the enigma scene rang out loud, clear, and secure. At his best he was unbeatable. I wish I had that performance on tape it was a magical evening with both artists being in top form.

@LobsngDmchoi - Tell me, who is the best composer in the whole world? You can see that the subject is too vast to choose just one as bestest, and so it is with singers. Who cares if anyone is best? This is Franco Corelli, a unique singer and there will never be another one like him. To me he is a great tenor and that's all I need to know. My humble opinion.

[LobsngDmchoi]

Not Corelli's best, imho. The voice is colorless when loud or mf. The top note lackluster. Perhaps partly the fault of poor sound quality of the recording.

I know its live--but I heard Gedda sing it live at the end of a recital and late in his career. Was brilliant, powerful!!

@scopizzo i assure you, bjorling was as perfect a singer as is possible to be. Absolutely perfect technique the best of any singer ever, incredibly beautiful voice . superlative musicianship and extrordinary artistry. none come close. I was very fond of bergonzi, I saw him in a wonderful recital back in ill guess 78, but he really does not rank among the greates tenors I dont think

@baltoman24

THANK YOU FOR YOUR DETAILED COMMENTS, AGAIN I AM SORRY I COUILD NOT LISTEN TO HIM LIVE, HOWEVER I UNDERSTAND FROM YOUR ENTHUSIASM THAT THAT WAS REALLY AN UNIQUE EXPERIENCE, BEST REGARDS

[scopizzo]

@operalament

I AGREE, EXCEPT I AM NOT SURE BJORLING WAS SO PERFECT, HOWEVER A TENOR OF SIMILAR ATTITUDE AND THEREFORE FOR SURE ONE OF THE BEST IN THE SECOND HALF (OR MAYBE THE ENTIRE) '900, WE COULD SAY ONE THE FEW "GIANTS" (ALSO CARLO BERGONZI SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS LITTLE NUMBER, I GUESS)
