To listen to this performance it seems completely perplexing to think that Franco Corelli would elect to retire from the operatic stage just two years later.  He sings like a god.  His bellows like a trombone.  He is joined by the very fine mezzo Viorica Cortez who delivers an alluring Carmen.  The sound is fair.
