Franco Corelli unfortunately never sang this opera (Rigoletto) but he did record this aria a few times! This was his youngest of the recordings (in 1958) LIKE & ENJOY
@John Oregan No problem... I don’t think you have to thank me for just giving him the number 1 spot he undoubtedly deserves... I did change my mind on a few of them since I made that list... I would put Pavarotti at 3rd after Lauri Volpi... Luciano has outstanding technique and technically he has achieved technical heights that even Corelli never had... Corelli’s voice, a lot of it, is a natural gift... a lot of the time you can easily tell that he forces a big note and it comes out loud and great but if other tenors like Pavarotti per say would do the same thing, their voice might get damaged because it naturally isn’t strong or big enough to handle such vocal pressure... it doesn’t mean that Corelli shouldn’t have sung those notes that way.. he did and that’s one of the the multiple reasons why he’s number 1... but just “tecnica vocale” wise, Luciano has no match... he simply artificially made his voice... Lauri Volpi has the 2nd spot because his voice was ringing with a lot of silver in it and which is most important - it was effortless... nothing like Corelli’s stance when he was singing high notes or like Pavarotti who would take a huge breath with his diaphragm... lauri Volpi is a big reason Corelli is number 1... before Lauri Volpi, Corelli didn’t have the technique he ultimately became number 1 with... P.S. I know what I’m talking about... I train everyday (except weekends)... I’m going to be an Opera tenor soon (just 24yr old). One day... I’ll be on that list of top 10 tenors... mark my words...

Corelli's sound is always unusually masculine for a tenor - and it gives him an always powerful presence. This is a quality than can not be reduced to merely speaking in terms of loud or soft, light or heavy, lyrical or heroic, but rather something that is intrinsic to the man, Corelli, himself, and it sets him apart from most other male vocalists in such a way that after only a note or two, you always know it is he...the great Corelli...
Tenía "tanta" voz, era tan grande y tan potente su caudal, que resulta milagroso que pudiese controlarla de ese modo. Una maravilla de la naturaleza. Su voz no era adecuada para cantar todos los roles, al igual que ocurre con los demás tenores, pero todos los que cantó fueron y son referencia absoluta en la historia de la ópera

@@denisotello6474 hola buen día , veo que tienes muy buen gusto je je je porque estos dos mounstros también son mis favoritos aunque me inclino un poco más a Corelli , y si claro que sí en este año Corelli sigue vigente como el gigante que fue y será , que opinas?
@@isaiasgaminosanchez8616 Mario tuvo una carrera que duro del 40 hasta los 75, o sea 35 anos, se retiró con 60 anos, ya Franco tuvo una carrera de los 50 hasta los 75 o sea 25 anos, y se retiró con 55 anos, mi opinion es que del monaco fue mejor que franco hasta 1961, y que despues de esto vino la gran fase de Franco hasta 1975, Franco tuvo una gran mejora en su tecnica vocal al largo de su carrera, muy reconocido por sus papeles en, Gli Ugonotti(Raul), Turandot(calaf), La Forza Del Destino( Alvaro), Il Poliuto, Andre Chenier, Don Carlo, Il trovatore (manrico) dentre otras ya Del Monaco con, Otello, Cavalleria rusticana, tambien como Andrea Chenier, Como Sanson, La Fanciulla del west dentre otras, corelli era un tenor spinto- dramatico y del monaco un tenor-dramatico, sucessores de los grandes tenores, Pertile y Merli, tenian una gran amistad, y Franco fue al entierro de Mario, creo que nunca surgiram otros como ellos, perdon por mi malo español es que soy de Brasil.

È uno dei più grandi tenori di sempre, era considerato tra i più grandi al mondo in un'epoca in cui anche i tenori più scarsi in scena erano nettamente superiori ai nostri vari Kauffman, Cura e compagnia urlacciante.
I would love to hear Corelli on a complete Rigoletto recording, if only in the studio. He would be a perfect Duca, despite the role being very lyrical, because he had a voice that transitioned very well between romantic and jovial; and the dark and hard. It was very versatile, that's why he sang both La Bohème and Il Trovatore well.
If you want to hear the Perfect Lyrical Duke, look no further than Ferrucio Tagliavini on the old Cetra Label. Corelli would have to lose a lot of Baggage to come remotely close to him in this Role. Del Monaco was a complete failure on the old Decca label.
@@waynewilliams4706 Corelli had a big, voice. You cannot just make a big voice smaller, it is bad for a big voice to try and sing smaller and lighter constantly. They can do it occasionally but not on a permanent basis. Corelli cannot just lose some "baggage", his voice simply had a lot of weight. It is similar to a lyric tenor who tries sings too much heavy repertoire, it degrades the voice to sing outside of your fach. Of course the Duke wasn't really meant for Corelli and he knew it, which why he never tried the role.
Corelli, sin gustarme mucho (siempre buscando la nota), no deja de tener la mejor voz de tenor de la historia grabada. Aquí, además, le agradezco que no horterice el _se mi punge_ con tontás.
@chris Gaffney . You must understand that Franco sang in almost all the most important great operas .It would take at least two lifetimes to sing them all.Nevertheless I have never heard this aria sung better than by the great Corelli even though it was more suited to a lyric tenor.Thanks anyway for Your appreciation of Franco.
+Sardus Orpheus When listening to a video of an artist You would expect any comment to be directed at that artist however You chose to comment on a lyric tenor such as the sublime Tito Schipa instead of the great spinto/dramatic tenor Corelli with respect I will just say this Franco's voice should be the reference for the complete opera tenor.
+Sardus Orpheus He did perform theOTELLO duet and arias on tour with the Met and in several concerts also;You can see Him perform the duet in a wonderful performance with Zylis-Zara 1972 at Mr Bings farewell concert at the Met.on Utube.Franco had a huge amount of engagements to fulfill and I guess time ran out for Him.Unlike a lot of other tenor's Franco knew when to stop with that glorious instrument intact.
For a spinto tenor who frequently performed dramatic roles, Il Duca di Mantova in Rigoletto, which is sometimes sung by leggero tenor such as Juan Diego Florez, was not the role that Corelli would choose. But the way he sang this aria is also satisfied to hear. There are two other recordings of "Questa o Quella" from Corelli's concerts in München with Deutsches Museum (December 13th 1970) and in Tokyo (November 8th 1971).
As great as Corelli was I do not believe the role of the Duke was written for such a powerful spinto such as himself However I would have loved to hear him sing this role anyway. Among all the great gifts Corelli possessed as a singer especially in the early days of his career he could surprise you by singing something real lyric with a lot of conviction and beauty; for example perhaps "A TE O CARA from Ipuritani by Bellini. Just listen to it WOW!
Corelli never sang Rigoletto, Ballo, Traviata Manon Lescaut and Butterfly. Manon Lescaut to me is a mystery, as I think He was well suited for the role in every way
@@sugarbist there is a lovely clip of him singing the love duet from Ballo. He would have been a marvellous Ricardo and same goes for Des Grieux! Perhaps the opportunity just never came about. It’s a shame
@@joshuafurtado-mendes9327 Of course you are entitled to your opinion. Corelli is one of my favorites, and I don't like to critique why I think he would not be suited for any role, because then I would have to mention some flaws in his musicality as well as habits. But all in all, a great tenor.
Un grande franco. Como mexicano Me parece escuchar mucho parecido su color de voz a nuestro gran Jorge Negrete. A quien franco corelli comentan biógrafos también admiraba
What a powerful voice he had! The tempo seems a little too slow for my taste. I like to hear this with the words crisp and bitten out. Nevertheless, he sings well!
Pavarotti said he must have had iron vocal chords. The very greatest tenor - thrilling as every artist needs to be. Sadly too young to have ever seen him. My generation have to put up with woofy, woofy artifical noise.
you can't compare with Pavarotti...totally different timbre - totally different ways to approach the piece. I love them both - but pavarotti has a much more playful sound and attitude. i adore Corelli's brooding sound...but not for Rigoletto..but I'll sure take his Manrico and Calaph!
chris gaffney unfortunately... There are a few other operas that he never sang such as Othello, L'elisir D'amore and La Traviata!! But for the most part Rigoletto and Othello are the ones that everyone wanted to hear from Franco Corelli...
+Super OperaTenor Corelli also never sang Butterfly, Ballo, Traviata , Rigoletto and Manon Lescaut.Perhaps it was because he started a little late with his career, around age 30.The real mystery for me is Manon Lescaut. I know he had mentioned that it was a very difficult role, but I think his voice was perfect for the opera. He was really relieved when he retired, as he suffered from terrible stage fright. Imo, he should of at least recorded Otello, but he didn't. There was talk that MDM was encouraging FC to do the role, but I don't know how accurate it is.
@Super Opera Tenor.I am in broad agreement with Your list.I would not put Bocelli or Domingo on this list .I would replace Domingo with Pertile and Mc Cormick with Bocelli
Not many with his power maybe kauffman.Great voice heard him at Shrine or that might have been Delmonico both had huge voices I did hear him at the Pasadena CIvic Auditorium He had a huge voice.
Kauffman??? He is a vocal midget compared to Corelli.If they performed side by side you would never hear Kauffman at all, just an opening and closing mouth.They don't even belong in the same sentence, much less on the same stage.
@@marcgiardina4043 Kaufman’s sound is deceptive. He sounds like he has a big voice because it is dark, but there is no real power or weight behind it. The voices that are really the biggest on stage have a lot of squillo, Corelli and Del Monaco had loads of squillo. Kaufman has no squillo. You would actually struggle to hear him without a microphone. Kaufman is one of the better tenors these days, but his technique is not that good against the earlier generation. Corelli and Del Monaco would sing right over him.
@Super Opera Tenor. I am so glad You put the greatest opera tenor Franco Corelli in at number 1.Thank You.
@John Oregan No problem... I don’t think you have to thank me for just giving him the number 1 spot he undoubtedly deserves... I did change my mind on a few of them since I made that list...

Tenor spinto, verdiano para algo de su repertorio; no precisamente para Rigoletto que requiere voz mucho más ágil y menos densa.
El mejor tenor heroico de todos los tiempos, pero esta opera no era para sus características vocales.
I don't believe Corelli ever sang the Duke in a live performance and did not record the opera as well.
CSODA EZ A CORELLI!
Non era nel suo repertorio però bene lo stesso
Rimane un icona della lirica...
Fantastico, anche senza cadenza?
Molto meglio senza

Krauss o corelli
Both baries
Not many with his power maybe kauffman.Great voice heard him at Shrine or that might have been Delmonico both had huge voices I did hear him at the Pasadena CIvic Auditorium He had a huge voice.
Kauffman??? He is a vocal midget compared to Corelli.If they performed side by side you would never hear Kauffman at all, just an opening and closing mouth.They don't even belong in the same sentence, much less on the same stage.
No way
Well you could certainly be right I never heard Kaufman live I'm just going by what I hear on CZcams but I have are Corelli and He had a huge voice
@@marcgiardina4043 Kaufman’s sound is deceptive. He sounds like he has a big voice because it is dark, but there is no real power or weight behind it. The voices that are really the biggest on stage have a lot of squillo, Corelli and Del Monaco had loads of squillo. Kaufman has no squillo. You would actually struggle to hear him without a microphone. Kaufman is one of the better tenors these days, but his technique is not that good against the earlier generation. Corelli and Del Monaco would sing right over him.
So corretto, is anyone feel sick?
