Corelli makes everyone else sound ordinary.

Seeing all these comments I'm interrogating myself.

"Are you a normal person?!!!!"

I do think that this version is the greatest ever performed. Is there anyone who thinks the same?

why do poverotti fans hate him, he has the most powerful high notes.

@Chanteuredelopera I think Bergonzi&Domingo are Lyric spinto tenors at best.The fact that a tenor sings a dramatic role like Otello or Forza does not qualify him as a Dramatic tenor as the previous3tenors you mention.There are tenors in the spinto category that qualify more so than Domingo&Bergonzi to sing the dramatic roles,whom are Martinelli Merli Pertile Piccaluga De Muro Tucker Caruso,Penno,Masini.Gigli was a lyric tenor,that sang Aida Chenier& the dramatic Forza, He still remained a lyric

InfernoDaBaka yes i do .

@dandefikon Corelli does a D- flat in the terzetto in Trovatore.The Poliuto aria can be found here on YT. FC also has the Hugonotti aria and I Puritani but those hi- notes may be C sharps and not D flats.Volpi has many D flats since he sang everything in original key, like William Tell, Puritani Hugonotti. Volpi had a phenominal voice, especially in the upper register. Enjoy

@Chanteuredelopera Domingo&Bergonzi were really lyric spinto tenors. Many tenors do make the transition to more spinto& dramatic roles,possibly to test themseleves or perhaps for the love of the art.Gigli was a lyric tenor, but also had the ability to sing some spinto and dramatic roles like Chenier Forza and Aida. The fact that a tenor sings a dramatic role, does not classify him as a dramatic tenor as a Melchoir or Vinay were dramatic. Enjoy

Mon Calaf préféré. Son "cheveu sur la langue" est sexy en diable..... Franco ever the best.

Franco Corelli è un interprete magnifico, possiede una vocalità impressionante, una sensibilità unica e poi gli acuti assolutamente ineguagliabili...per lui adopero il presente perchè è difficile pensare che ci ha abbandonati così presto

When you hear Kiepura (one of the original Calafs' ) you hear what great

singing is all about and the Vienna Calaf leaves Corelli in the dust .
