Notes & Reviews:

"It is not unknown for the most charismatic singers to be a prey to stage nerves... The more established he became, the harder Corelli found it... Following his retirement in 1976 he stated "the singer's life cost me a great deal. I was full of apprehension and mad at everyone... a bundle of nerves"... For the audience however his performances were electric, as I can personally attest" -James Murray
