Unusual Operatic Pairings

Neither of them is in the finest of voice but this particular pairing has to be listened to – it’s probably the only time that Diva Tebaldi displayed true emotion! Franco Corelli is simply, well, Franco, to be frank.

 Enjoy!
 
But this one and this one beat poor old Luciano's version into a cocked hat! Pavarotti’s voice is finer than Corelli’s but Corelli’s rendition is more powerful and accurate – it has more emotion and meaning.
 
However, enjoy them all!
