Franco Corelli's most virile and masculine top notes ever!

Virility and masculinity, a quality thats so elusive in many tenor voices and yet is so abundant in the voice of the legendary Franco Corelli. These clips show his most "manly" top notes ever. There is such a heroic quality, a sence of courage and Impetuosity!

I´d like to hear a C# and a D by corelli. Dod he lose power above the high C, he was not a high tenor but a very powerful mid tenor.

[MusashiTzu]

No he did not loose power at all in that region. Check out his Granada.

[LordMoe9]

definitely not a fan of Questo o quella (the song is for a lyric tenor for a good reason), but the rest is great

[MusashiTzu]

Yeah, I think even he knew Questo o quella wasnt supposed to be that way, but I actually found it really enjoyable, because a dramatic voice just shouldnt have that kind of flexibility, but Franco's somehow did.

[lokjeff]

Well done, MusashiTzu. But I'm missing the aria 'O tu che in seno agli angeli' from La forza del destino.

[MusashiTzu]

Certainly another one I could have included! But if I put in all I wanted the video would have went for hours:) So I just went with a few of my favorites.

[Gerardeus]

The best voice ever...

[DonPaolissimo]

And, just think - there are certain people who are actually "allergic" to these notes. That only shows that those people do not like, or understand, or have no conception or appreciation of what truly magnificent spinto Italian tenor singing is all about! Bravi Mario e Franco!!!

I don't know much about opera. Can you tell me the name of the last 3 pieces?

[feurzauber]

A greek God, an incomparable voice !

[hazelssister]

I am the number one fan of Franco Corelli !!!!!

[mnunezper]

@LordMoe9 that questo quella is from a live performance in his latest years, anyway as you said, that song is not for his voice

[CuteMcBeauty]

I am totally and absolutely in love with this man.....

[EduardoBrasil10000]

Now I understand a comment of yours in an Andreas Scholl video.

[sargoth37]

I didn't like any of the songs in this video. The best ones I've heard are "Celeste Aida" "Nessun Dorma" and "Desserto Sulla Terra"

[topmeat69]

@jowox its called a spinto

[bloydaage]

@OHuckleberry hahaha...funny coment!

[baritoneortenor]

I like how the picture is of him tasting soup with a poodle, in contrast to the epic masculinity of his voice.
