Book Reviews of Franco Corelli: Prince of Tenors
Book Review: A wonderful work of love!
Summary: 5 Stars
Thanks to René Seghers we know more about Franco Corelli the artist and above all the man! This is a true work of love! Now let's hope the next promised titles, including a photobook, will be released soon!Book Review: A Correction
Summary: 3 Stars
On page 424, M.Seghers lists Tito Capobianco as the director of Corelli's film of "Andrea Chenier." That is incorrect; the director was Vaclav Kaslik.Book Review: a shallow book
Summary: 1 Stars
Rather than an in-depth biography, this text reads like a cut-and-paste job of previously published articles padded with recipies, libretto translations, and performance annals. The singer's greatness is noted--but we already have the recordings to reveal this. The man himself remains unrevealed. There is, for example, some gossip about an affair with an unidentified female singer but no mention of the rumors of an intimate relationshio with the baritone Ettore Bastianini. Repeatedly the author tries to mitigate the disasterous effect of Corelli's wife on his life to the point that he "protests too much". Franco Corelli comes across primarily as a vain, neurotic, and shallow individual. Hopefully this was not the case.
