"Corena - more a bass-baritone than a bass - wasn't a great singer, but he wasn't a dull one either and he is caught here in good form"
(MusicWeb April 2006)
The great swiss bass - outstanding in Rossini's comic buffo roles. Includes many well loved italian and french arias as well as some fascinating rarities.
Swiss bass Fernando Corena was born in Geneva on 22 December 1916 and died at Lugano on 26 November 1984. After studying in Milan he made his debut in 1937 and during World War 2 he remained in Zurich. After the war he made his debut as Varlaam at Trieste. After a series of appearances in Italy he made his Metropolitan Opera debut in 1954 as Leporello in Mozart's Don Giovanni. Appearances in England followed and Covent Garden saw him as Dr Bartolo (in Rossini's Barbiere di Siviglia) in 1960 & 1969. It was the buffo repertory that Corena came to specialise in and he made numerous appearances in many important houses throughout Europe and further afield.
