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

Corelli was the leading tenor of his generation and then just stopped singing a year before he was to appear in Otello. He made a lot of complete opera recordings for Decca and EMI, which shouldn't be hard to find from the used dealers--Aida, Turandot, Carmen, Trovatore, Tosca, Turandot,and Norma are the ones which come immediately to mind. He had an astounding, huge, beautiful voice, but wasn't the most sensitive interpreter--even for an Italian tenor.

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.
