Amazing Corelli Rarities!, Déc 14 2002
The real of joy of this recording, and what makes it different than most other Corelli recordings, is that it is largely material that he never performed live on stage. So while it's a joy to listen to it, one can't help but be sad by the fact that he never chose to perform these roles live.
On this disc, only Tosca and La Gioconda were in Corelli's repetoire, and they are well represented here. The disc opens with the famous love duet from Otello in which Corelli is partnered with the excellent Teresa Zylis-Gara. The audience goes wild- and no wonder why! All the elements are there- the romance, the passion, the heroism. Without a doubt, Corelli would have been an incredible Otello!
He is partnered with Renata Tebaldi, past her prime, in two duets. The first, from Manon Lescaut, finds Tebaldi trying to keep up with Corelli. There is, however, magic when the two of them sing together. The second is the challenging, but beautiful duet from Zandonai's Francesca da Rimini. Listen to Corelli's diminuendo when he sings "Francesca" at the end! You will have goosebumps.
He is heard also in Faust. Though his French was less than ideal, he still creates an excellent Faust and is well partnered by Nicolai Ghiarouv.
All in all, this disc is a must for any Corelli fan, or any opera fan.

Another masterpiece from Franco CORELLI, Jui 24 2002
It is always a great pleasure hearing Franco Corelli singing, specially because he will never record again. Whatever we can find out recorded by him, studio or live performances, is wellcome. Once Franco Corelli stated that his live performances recording were far better than studio recording, which I absolutely agree with him. On live performances one can feel and hear how Franco Corelli set himself FREE when singing. In my modest opinion, there is no other opera singer like him. His voice, the way he performed when singing is absolutely outstanding. The beautiful pianissimos he introduced on his singing will assure to him and to everybody that he will never be forgotten for that achievement. No comparison with anyone else. He is unique. He changed the way Opera use to be sang and performed. Although no one is perfect, Franco Corelli did his best and made all the efforts possible to be almost perfect in what he was great: singing for us, all those who enjoy Bel Canto, Canto Lirico. Highly recommended.
