4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating - but not Corelli at his very best, 14 Jun 2007
By Ralph Moore (Bishop's Stortford, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
There is always a special thrill in the inimitable tones of Franco Corelli, and I would sooner hear him at not quite his best than many another tenor at his peak, but there's no denying that the items from 1972, four years before his retirement, present him in slightly clumsy voice, with a slight beat intruding in his top notes, more sense of effort than we are used to hearing in his best recordings and the incipient lisp more apparent. Tebaldi, too, in her pre-retirement mezzo phase following her vocal crisis, is well past her best and often rather acid but still capable of providing heft and ample tone. The "Manon Lescaut" in particular is especially dramatic, sung, as it is here, by two real stage animals and it is a double pleasure to hear Corelli tackle at least a part of that elusive "Otello" he never sang when partnered by the lovely, under-rated, Teresa Zylis-Gara. The mid-1960's items capture Corelli at his most convincing and more familiar best, fairly execrable French in the "Faust" notwithstanding.

I particularly loved the "Francesca da Rimini" excerpt as this is an opera I would cite as inexplicably neglected - perhaps because we don't have singers capable of doing justice to its visceral verismo melodies. (If you want this wonderful opera complete, try the late Olivero/Del Monaco version -two more great singers in the twilight of their careers, singing their hearts out. Tebaldi, in any case, gives Olivero a run for her money in terms of tender expressiveness.) I withold a star only because this is not the disc to present either Corelli or Tebaldi at their greatest - but it's still essential for their legion fans.
