Other Famous Corelli's

Other famous Corellis
  • This exposition will be about famous people whose
    surname was also Corelli, like Captain Corelli
  • It will briefly outline their lives and major
    achievements and will explore their links to the
    book or its characters, if any

3
The Corellis
  • The exposition will analyse the following people
  • Arcangelo Corelli - composer
  • Franco Corelli - tenor

4
Arcangelo Corelli(1653-1713)
  • Born in Fusignano, Italy
  • Italian composer and violinist
  • His style of playing became the basis for the
    violin technique of the 18th and 19th centuries

5
Arcangelo Corelli(1653-1713)
  • He was the most widely published and reprinted
    composer before the Austrian Joseph Haydn
  • He was the first composer to gain an
    international reputation solely on the basis of
    his instrumental music

6
Corelli to Corelli
  • The obvious link between this Corelli and the
    book is that he developed and played instruments
    very much like the mandolin, string instruments.
  • He was a composer, just like Captain Corelli is
    in the book and they both had talent composing

7
Franco Corelli
  • Franco Corelli was born in Ancona, Italy, on 8
    April
  • Well known Italian tenor
  • Franco Corelli has sung in major houses
    throughout the world and recital halls as well

Franco Corelli
  • In 1951 he won the Maggio Musicale competition in
    Florence
  • He made his debut at Spoleto in 1951 singing Don
    Jose in "Carmen"
  • Giulietta e Romeo,"La vestale, "Tosca, "Il
    Trovatore" are some of his performances until 1976

9
Corelli to Corelli
  • There is not much in common between Franco
    Corelli and Captain Corelli
  • The link between them is that they both perform
    music, either vocal or instrumental
  • With respect to their characters, Franco Corelli
    was a very reserved person so no comparison is
    possible
