FRANCO CORELLI "Passione"

Franco Corelli " Passione " Canzone classica napoletana.
Musica di Enrico Tagliaferri.-

Letra:

Cchiù luntano me staje,
Cchiù vicino te sento...

Chi sa a chistu mumento
Tu a che pienze... che ffaie!...
Tu m'hé miso 'int 'e vvene
Nu veleno ch' è ddoce...
Num me pesa sta croce
Ca trascino pe' te...

Te voglio... te penso... te chiammo...
Te veco... te sento... te sonno...
E n'anno
'Nce pienze ca è n'anno
Ca st'uocchie nun ponno
Cchiù pace truvàl...

E cammino... e cammino...
Ma nun saccio addò vaco...
I'sto sempre 'mbriaco
E nun bevo mai vino
Aggio fatto nu vuto
A' Madonna d' 'a Neve
Si me passa 'sta freve
Oro e perle lle dò...

To continue, Corelli's rendition of "Passione" is head and shoulders above all others.

Anyone skeptical of my claim need only listen to the other renditions posted on YT. They include flaccid, indolent renditions by third rate lounge singers.

Ironically, they serve a useful purpose. They provide a dramatic contrast to Corelli's magnificent rendition.

By showing us how badly a song such as "Passione" can be sung, they help us to appreciate just how well Corelli sang it.

Wise and Beautiful commentary*

Thank you very much!!!

Elba :-))

He was a great singer no doubt but Mario Lanza owns this song. The last note in Lanza's rendition is about 8 seconds, about 4 sec. longer than this one, that for me is the second best. Also the orchestra sound in Lanza's is superior, better recorded I would say. But to each his own.

Merely the truth as I see it, spoken from the heart.

Thank YOU and others for posting this magnificent rendition.

As I said, I praise individual performances, not pre-designated performers.

I am not a fan of any one singer. I am a fan of great performances, by any singer who can pull off a great performance.

Corelli did just that with "Passione."

[thechinadesk]

Unlike some of my fellow opera buffs, I refuse to say that a rendition of a particular aria or song is the "best" merely because it was sung by a favored singer.

No great singer is going to be the very best at every aria or song he takes on. If he didn't record the "best" rendition of a particular work, I will not insist that he did.

But Corelli's rendition of "Passione" is the best I have come across in my lifetime.

Absolutely outstanding. Some people have stated that Franco was king of the "scoops". I'm buggered if I know what that means but I can only think it's a derogatory (sp) comment against his voice. For me, he has the most thrilling tenor along with Lanza. Thanks for posting

Wonderful singing as always with Corelli.

TY for posting.
