stunning

Nice memories. I saw them together many times (what a handsome stage couple & what great voices) in TOSCA, ADRIANA, BOHEME & GIOCONDA.
-
Many singers have to find their way by themself, so did Corelli. Tebaldi instead found a great teacher like Carmen Melis, one of Puccini's favourite sopranos. Tebaldi said all she knew about Opera was from her teacher Carmen Melis.

@goldie0800 They were the best looking couple - Both tall and good looking with powerful voices.
Italian bite in their singing - they sand with passion.
-
@tebaldicallas - Perhaps for some Corelli's voice might not seem precise or impeccable but his gifts as a tenor were abundantly obvious, exuberant and overflowing with a wealth of emotion. What more can one ask for in grand opera than such a grand voice as Corelli's! His singing touches the heart, so my cup is filled.
- from an obvious fan of Corelli.

you can.t get much better than this!!!

@johngotwalt I dont think that is entirely true. He did work with Lauri-Volpi and possibly briefly with Melocchi. At the end of the day, arent all singers self taught, though? They say the stage is the best teacher. Cheers.

Stratas was no slouch either. The 1982 Carreras Stratas Boheme directed by Zef at the met is my absolute favorite.

I love Corelli but Tebaldi was a more refined singer.
Beautiful recording,
Thanks to share it.

Tebaldi was the greatest interpreter of Mimi at any age.
