Audio-only bonus interview Opera Fanatic March 3, 1990
performed by Franco Corelli, 1921-2003, in Corelli in Concert (New York: Bel Canto Society, 2013), 2 hours 55 mins
On this DVD Franco is very much himself. He sings to the audience as he sang to me in his living room--with the same gestures and mannerisms. And they love it! He flings himself into the encores with wild abandon. Gives spinal chills. The most personality of any Corelli DVD. Corelli's Rubato: Listen to Corelli pla...

On this DVD Franco is very much himself. He sings to the audience as he sang to me in his living room--with the same gestures and mannerisms. And they love it! He flings himself into the encores with wild abandon. Gives spinal chills. The most personality of any Corelli DVD. Corelli's Rubato: Listen to Corelli play with the tempo in Ernesto De Curtis's "Tu ca nun chiagne." He introduces ritards and accelerations. Or listen to F. Paolo Tosti's "A Vucchella," where Corelli twice eases back into tempo after (unduly) long fermatas. Yet he told me, "I didn't do rubato for fear of being squadrato [not with the conductor's beat]." In this concert he is squadrato in "O paradiso," on the word "paradiso." The reality may have been that he was willing to sing with flexibility of tempo when with piano accompaniment, as in the De Curtis and Tosti songs, in which he sings with piano after the orchestra has left the stage. His Bobbing Larynx and Dropped Jaw: Voice teacher Giovanni Battista Lamperti maintained, in Vocal Wisdom: The Maxims of Giovanni Battista Lamperti by William Earl Brown, "Though the larynx need not be held muscularly fixed in one position, for either upper or lower register, it should remain quiescent throughout a song," also that a singer should open his mouth "as wide as finger thickness." Corelli adopted an unrelated approach. In accordance with his modification of Melocchi's method, in soft passages his larynx "floated" up, in loud passages down. More, by 1971, Corelli had come to sing with his mouth wide open and jaw dropped to the maximum, on high notes, in particular--as is apparent in this concert. His Scatto: At the end of "Un dì all'azzurro spazio" and the end of "Tu ca nun chiagne" Franco sings with scatto (punch), which is a reason he is so exciting.--Stefan Zucker. DVD Bonuses: Corelli in two radio interviews with Stefan Zucker, 5 hrs., 8 mins., total. The first also includes Jerome Hines and Dodi Protero.

Frederic Franklin, a former premier danseur of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, works in the studio with Nikolaj Hübbe, a principal dancer of New York City Ballet, on the male variation from the Pas Classique Hongrois from Raymonda, Act III. The variation was choreographed by George Balanchine for Franklin, although an injury prevented him from performing in the ballet's premiere. Hübbe first marks the variation, then dances it full-out in its entirety or in sections as he and Franklin discuss and refine its components. In the ensuing interview with Nancy Reynolds, Franklin reminisces about Balanchine's creation of Raymonda for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo in 1946, with a cast headed by Alexandra Danilova as Raymonda, himself (alternating with Nicholas Magallanes) as Jean de Brienne, and Nikita Talin as the Emir Abd-er-Raham. He also recalls other works staged by Balanchine for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, notably Jeu de cartes, La sonnambula, Danses concertantes, Concerto barocco, and the musical Song of Norway.

She coaches Maria Terezia Balogh and Todd Edson in the pas de deux of Terpsichore and Apollo, then works with Balogh on Terpsichore's variation. Following this session, Tallchief discusses some of the fine points of technique emphasized by Balanchine; these are demonstrated by Balogh. She then fine-tunes some details of the Apollo pas de deux with Balogh and Edson. In the second part of the video, Tallchief works with Balogh and Michael Clark on the White swan pas de deux, danced by Odette and Prince Siegfried, from Swan lake. In an interview, she and Paul Mejia discuss partnering in Balanchine's ballets, Balanchine's version of Swan lake, and Tallchief's interpretation of his choreography.

Melissa Hayden, who created the ballerina role in Donizetti variations in its premiere in 1960, coaches Peter Boal and Gillian Murphy in the choreography performed by the two principal dancers, including their first entrance, their pas de deux (adagio, ballerina variation, and coda), and the ballerina variation danced with three men (who do not appear on this recording). The male variation in the pas de deux and a second male variation (intended to be danced with six women) are performed without coaching from Hayden. To illustrate her point that Donizetti's music provides less support for the dancing than is usual in Balanchine's ballets, Hayden has the dancers perform their entrance first to the Donizetti score, then to Tchaikovsky's music for the Black swan pas de deux from Swan lake. In an interview she discusses various aspects of the ballet: its change of costumes, which altered its character; the influence of August Bournonville's choreography; the interpretation she developed with her partner Jacques d'Amboise; and the ballet's technical challenges. She also discusses Balanchine's use of off-balance movement and his concept of the plié, and remembers him as partner and performer.
