Wow! Thanks for sharing your experience!

a great story. thanks for sharing it.

That's amazing! What a beautiful story! Worth it to see Maestro Corelli twice though!

liar, your not old enough to have seen them live

@@anandy9292 I'm 77. I saw them when I was 19.

Non esageri...ne sono esistiti una decina come Corelli ed alcuni anche meglio...saluti

+PCAGMaj7 I am listening to it now...it's beautiful...and I will upload it. Thank you for the suggestion!

+racheleleeba I hate to ask, but could you also post Corelli's aria from the end of the 3rd act, when he's before the tribunal? It begins Si, fui soldato. It's one of my faves, and seldom recorded.

PCAGMaj7 If it's in good recorded condition, I will!

You have to compare the greatest Franco..with another big in this Opera...Mario Del Monaco...

@@guidogreco341 Del Monaco and Corelli are Gods!

@John Oregan Take a break . Opera singers aren't stuck all over their bodies with mics for amplification for the simple reason mics aren't of any use if the house itself isn't wired for amplification .You can't wire a house without major overhaul costing many millions .How about providing proof for your allegation most opera houses are wired for amplification? I bet you can't .The mics you see sometimes are for recording ,not for amplification . Big open air venues are in all likelihood wired because they are used primarily for pop concerts . And take a break from this comparison nonsense .Nobody but diehard fans are indulging in this compulsive behavior ,with their fav invariably at the top of the list . Normal people couldn't care less

As was Del Monaco.

@@xxsaruman82xx87 Never felt the same way about del Monaco-rather one dimensional as impressive as that was..After all Chenier is a poet, not a warrior

@@labienus9968 I think Del Monaco was more expressive than Corelli. Del Monaco, for me, is the better actor. But, opinions are what make this world interesting.

@@xxsaruman82xx87 Yes, as long as one has that attitude it's fine to differ. So in that spirit MDM never did it for me-great voice but, as he himself admitted in the obsession with a loud sound he lost the abiltiy to modulate the voice. More expressive than Corelli-I'll restrain myself-except when he was young-how could he be? the voice wouldn't allow it. Acting? unless the eye rolling school is your preference-Iaugh here..But we certainly can agree MDM never was in the same universe for notes b and above.

@@labienus9968 Del Monaco lived his characters. He WAS Otello. He was a better than Corelli IMHO. And he did have great pianissimi and dimminuendo. Same universe for notes b and above? You’ve got to be joking. Del Monaco’s highs were as good as Corelli’s. And Del Monaco had even more squillo. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p8Wceqte0cnHqYE.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otKDppl0urmZgmg.html

I agree. His voice doesn't have the Italian ring I feel is needed. It was a beautiful traditional production, which I appreciated, but it didn't seem the singers had voices that carried over the orchestra.

+racheleleeba Does anyone nowadays...unless it is The School of Shouting, which mainly includes sopranos.

Kaufmann is overrated. No squillo. Voce ingolata. Diction is bad. Acting is good, but with those vocal deficiencies, that counts for nothing.

@@oldoperafan_in_London to be fair if you're looking for The School of Shouting you find enough here . --Let's tear down the Bastille-- too bad there's no Bastille in this scene

@@Nangis123 Are you trying to say something? You seem to have it confused with del Monaco

I know you do, and it's on my to-do list. My current health status has kept me from creating new videos. If you get tired of waiting, I recommend the premiereopera.com website for inexpensive CDs of Franco Corelli performances. The founder of the company, the late Ed Rosen, bless him, was one of those intrepid persons who secretly taped performances at the Met in the sixties and onward.

racheleleeba my friend, i hope you soon get well and I'm so sorry for my impatience.

Not at all. Thanks for your encouragement, and for enjoying my videos.

Roberta Huebner I could find nothing on this website. It seemed to be for sale. Do you have any other ideas where to buy live performances? Thank you so much.

@@racheleleeba I know this is a delay about your Health my friend. I hope you're doing better please take care of yourself we need you. Agape for now my friend Arnold and Linda Amaral i

I will try to upload it.

For me the arias are quite good as is the final duet. The score otherwise is unremarkable in my opinion. Great artists like Tebaldi and Corelli, however, can elevate even mediocre material such as this. A fine performance!

@@UMVELINQANGI I'm agree. With such interprets, of course, everything is transfigured.

It's an opinion, nothing more. Had no value being your intimate friends. And only if they ask👺

Non parlo bene l’inglese ,ma certamente vorrei dirle che si sbaglia di grosso,certamente questo non en Bach o Mozart ,ma ha il suo merito ,che non ha melodie rilevanti,io trovo che li ha e tante ,è molto più spontanea che alcuni lavori pucciniani sempre a far leva su cose melodrammatiche piene di zucchero,ansi qui ci vogliono super cantanti ...sa io amo quest’opera
