(Franco once told me, "I copied my interpretation of 'Ah sì! ben mio' and the fourth act of Carmen from Pertile." Listening to this program you get to share Franco's perceptions of Pertile's white-hot, pathos-scented and painterly art. Every singer goes out of tune from time to time unintentionally. But it's difficult to do so on purpose. In this except, to demonstrate Pertile's tendency to sharp, Corelli sings the climax of the "Flower Song" an octave down and causes the highest note to drift upward slightly--a minor feat of virtuosity. (At this point in time Corelli still could sing beautifully, but that was not his intention here. Instead it was to excuse Pertile's sharping because it resulted from passion.) Although this example is in Italian with me translating, Franco speaks more English on this program than usual. The noises heard intermittently during the March 30, 1991 interview leaked into WKCR's studio from an adjacent auditorium and were picked up by the mikes. There is no way of both eliminating these noises and preserving our discussion. --Stefan Zucker Articles: The Fluctuating Fortunes of Vibrato & Pertile on Vowels Press coverage of Corelli's appearances on "Opera Fanatic."
