EU 10 CD box set celebrating the life and works of tenor Franco Corelli (1921-2003). Spiegel Magazine called him a 'singer in Cinemascope', a 'bel canto gladiator', whose voice boasted 'vibrant strength and steely brilliance'. These qualities, coupled with his stunning good looks, helped Corelli become an audience favorite in New York, Milan, Vienna and London. Corelli frequently threw himself into his roles with such a vengeance that he not only swept away his audiences but got so carried away that he took himself to his artistic limits. Not even his extreme and continuing stage fright could stop the tenor from completely losing himself in his roles - and especially the live recordings of his major successful roles included in this box set provide ample proof of this fact. These important recordings are complemented with rarities taken from operas like I Lombardi, Lodoletta, Poliuto, Eracle and Simon Boccanegra. Documents.
