"Franco Corelli was by me the best tenor ever. Take my advice. BUY IT, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Great Voice- but not Caruso

"I heard Corelli in his prime and these selections reflect the beautiful spinning tones with clarion high notes.
One negative -despite what some might say- he was not Caruso- in La Donna Mobile, Caruso sings the cadenza with amazing ease amd brightness. Corelli sings about 1/2 the notes and his voice moves like lead- IT IS BAD and I am a Corelli fan.
Corelli did have an easier high C than Caruso - but Caruso is in a league of his own. I just purchased on Amazon the complete Caruso most of which I have on vinyl. He is simply the greatest tenor in the standard Italian repetoire."
