who is Franco Corelli?? where to buy his LPs??

HELL of a tenor. More complete recordings are: I Pagliacci, Cavalleria Rusticana, Manon Lescaut, Andrea Chenier, and numerous pirated recordings. LPs? That's a tough one.

Of course, you are "politically correct", but, and it's a BIG butt, who else are you going to hear with that much voice doing the roles you mentioned? It certainly isn't Gedda or (really!) Alagna. I'm sorry about Alagna. I tried one of his aria CDs and IMO this is an unfinished techique that is going to cut the good part of his career short. Yeah, he's a jillionaire and all that but it's too bad he hasn't gotten it all together.

You want thrills, chills, and spills, you go with Corelli.

P.S. I LOVE Gedda.
