Music reviews of Franco Corelli: The Unknown Recordings
Music Review: Unknown Corelli That Should Be Known
Rating: 5 Stars
This CD includes several recordings made by Corelli for EMI which seem to have been kept by the recording company without being released for many years. That is probably why they are called "Unknown." EMI says in the booklet that Corelli was unhappy with them and wanted to do more work on them. Possible but questionable. Corelli was indeed a perfectionist who always worked to improve his singing -- only the greatest artists are like that.
But listeners will hear for themselves that these recordings were some of the major achievements in his career.
Track 1, of Luisa Miller, and track 10, of Un Ballo in Maschera, make one really sad that he never did these two roles in their entirety. But let us be grateful for what we have.
Tip: track 2, the aria of La Forza del Destino. Those who got the DVD or CD of his celebrated debut in that role in Napoli, 1958, may think they have heard it all. That version is, indeed, a definitive rendition, if there ever was one. But here, on this CD, you will discover his 1967 version to be a bit different. Enjoy the difference.
