Editing Franco Corelli (section)

==Selected recordings==
Corelli made many recordings of solo arias and complete operas. These reveal the splendour of Corelli's voice in its prime during the late 1950s and 1960s. Many admirers prefer recordings of his live performances, finding Corelli's singing in front of an audience more exciting than his studio performances.  Many of these are available.
