Corelli forever

What has not been accused of anything! He had no piano, no Mezzavoce and was a kind of tenor Rambo, the powerful voice mow down anything that stands him in the way. Well, Chacun à son gout, as they say. Apparently this criticism always comes from people who a) form an opinion only on the basis of a particular recording and / or b) have heard so many vocally limited singer that they do not realize what you can do with certain games, and this even with such a loose height from which most tenors can not even dream of. Corelli sings relaxed, free, heroic and without any inhibitions. In the height, where it comes to an end at the other flowers on his voice only. (Like it is only found in Helge Rosvaenge.) His lack of piano and "brutal shout down" his partner to insinuate just shows insufficient expertise, and it is advisable to listen to some of his live recordings, to be convinced of the opposite. Rodolfo Celletti, one of the most notorious Italian critic, praised the way just Corelli Mezzavoce, and Giuseppe Pugliese, who was present in Spoleto even with Corelli's first public appearance in the role of Don José in 1951, was - as he himself writes - "deeply impressed ". The judgments of these real music critic are always more important than the one Mr. Kesting, known as the "voices Pope" ratings presumes that represent only his personal, often very unobjective opinion with regard to many singers anyway.
One can not accuse its partners niederzuschreien just because these are vocally simply no match for him Corelli, because that is particularly evident in many studio recordings, such as Cavalleria Rusticana by EMI.Es is no wonder that Victoria de Los Angeles, as more lyrical singer certainly an excellent Mimi or Juliette, but certainly not Santuzza is, is almost impossible to hear in addition to such a strong and metallic voice. The compilation of the singer on many labels can already often be desired, but you'd never could chalk up the singers, but at best those responsible.
In this respect: you convince yourself and see exuberant vocal power with a jammed, kastratigem Gesinge as it is so often celebrated and promoted today.
