Franco Corelli, one of the greatest tenors of all time.

[leonardcohen]

Слушать его прекрасный голос никогда не устаю. Франко здесь почти 47 лет, до дня рождения около двух месяцев.

[mariapopova]

Franco Corelli is magnetic and magnificent. I'm like hypnotized whenever he's singing
What a great tenor!

[ВалентинаМельникова-уъ]

Я не разбираюсь в тонкостях голоса. Просто к прекрасному исполнению и красоте голоса Франко Корелли возвращаешься снова и снова. И наверное это и есть высший, замечательный класс, когда обычный человек слушает, ценит, любит!

[lubicatabakovicova]

Can there be anything more beautiful?Franco Corelli-the best of all the tenors of all

[Arishenka_A]

Ну вот невозможно его не любить.. 😊❤️‍🔥
Какой голос! Какой тенор!! ⚡️💫💥

[TheVisualMusicShow]

I well recall this in 1968 on black-and-white television. Good to be reunited with it. Heard him in Forza and Werther in Minneapolis with the MET. Unmatched, unforgettable, very moving experiences.

[stevehinnenkamp]

To think we could once tune in on our television and watch a performance like this! That was democracy!

[DavidFuller-kg]

One of the finest tenors to ever live!

[manolis.]

Ah the unparalleled Corelli. What a treat.

[coshy]

I'm lost for words. Franco "is" a great tenor.

[jonathanmortimer]

Truly phenomenal. Super voice. Magic and hard to describe. Just incredible. In a different class.

[SpiritintheSky.]

The clarity of voice is exceptional, as I've discovered tens of years too late.

[ruggeronorge]

I know we could argue forever over this, but I'm going to go out and say that he is the best of all times

[galinakorotkova]

My God!!! Such a beautiful voice! Such a perfect... perfect performance!

[emitch]

Every tenors challenge when they hear Maestro Franco Corelli. Dramatica & Spinto tenor.

[michaelmiller]

This is why no current opera singers approach this level- the time-honored and proven Italian vocal instruction and techniques aren’t being taught!

[dr.keithheimann]

As a friend used to say, "When Corelli sang, there wasn't a dry seat in the house."

[natalinatollari]

Invece che fare paragoni dovreste inchinarvi davanti a tanta serieta, maestria studi e Corelli ha fatto del bel canto la sua ragione di vita fino a che ha scelto di farlo perche del pubblico ha sempre avuto il massimo rispetto evoleva donare tutte le emozioni possibili.

This performance, and how Corelli prepared for it, were written up in an article by Robert Kotlowitz called "The Fragile Ego: A Tenor Named Corelli" for _Harpers_ magazine, June 1968. Ed was usually "appointment tv" in my house but for some reason we hadn't seen it that weekend and I am _just now_ seeing the performance Kotlowitz was writing about.
