Vissi d'arte - Mirella Freni, Tosca

17.05.1985 Lugano in der Schweiz

[@terryhenson3350]

I can't believe all this beautiful power coming out of this tiny woman. Absolutely one of the best renditions of this I've ever heard!!!

[@edwardbeckwith]

I heard and met her at the Met in 1993. I was stunned at how much larger her voice was in person and sooooo powerful yet beautiful and then I met her in her dressing room and thought how does that voice come out of such a tiny woman? Performance of my life!

[@edwardbeckwith]

power? more powerful live omg

[@jessicazeller8060]

Flawless. The world is a bit dimmer without this sublime voice.

[@carlfigueiredo2095]

I saddens me to listen to this beautiful, heartfelt performance, and realise that this golden voice has been silenced! Rest in Peace, Mirella Freni! You are now singing with the angels!

[@juancarlosbelletti6335]

Yo no se ingles pero si entiendo Algo de voces y les puedo asegurar que hubo pocas voces como ella. HACE HONOR A LOS ITALIANOS CON SU VOZ.❤❤❤❤

[@giuseppebeppe_tv8257]

Ella esta cantando en italiano no en ingles

[@Starz723]

I am so lucky to have been able to see Mirella Freni at the Metropolitan Opera several times and to go backstage and talk with her many times. One of the greatest sopranos to grace the stage. RIP. I was so sad to hear of her passing.

[@fredojoaquim4764]

One of my favorite sopranos ever. The lovely Freni from Modena, Emilia- Romagna.

[@orlandoguerreroromero4085]

I have heard other sopranos singing this area. But I was in shock when I listened to her. I love her voice.

[@plmacleod]

I was holding my breath halfway through the aria without realising I was tearing up.

[@deedee3904]

RIP Mirella Freni. Another great voice now belongs to the ages.

[@БельгибаеваАлия]

Потрясающий, неповторимый голос. От этого голоса вокруг становится солнечно и красиво. Спасибо и низкий поклон великому таланту.

[@sharonazar1]

made me cry..her voice is so profound and full of longing...

[@gaddovarzi6980]

La Freni aveva totale rispetto e devozione per musica che eseguiva, lo si avverte in ogni nota. In questo era ben diversa da molti suoi colleghi narcisi da strapazzo.

[@j.markbaker2172]

Requiescat in pace, dear Mirella... one of the most beautiful lyric soprano voices God ever placed in a human throat...

[@marisarossi6692]

Brava Mirella Freni, sei un vanto per la nostra regione.

[@eugeniogentili1048]

Mirella Freni 1935 -2020 Rip.🙏

[@bregalantiantonio3913]

Smettila con questi campanilismi, tra l'altro non avete tanto da vantarvi nel confronto con altre regioni italiane

[@mioumioutoolate]

Wauw isn’t this one the best renditions of this aria. So moving

[@adeeo]

I have just heard the news... R.I.P Mirella...

[@fidulario]

What can I say? Superb? Superb is a dot in the distance... My soul did get out of my body when I heard this.

[@wotan10950]

Although she never sang the role of Tosca on the stage, Freni certainly knows how to spin a beautiful Puccini line. It's a relief to hear her after listening to other famous sopranos.

[@martijnthomas6017]

But she made recordings of it.

[@beachfanatic2010]

This is a great interpretation of this aria, one of the best for me.

[@continentalintercontinenta483]

MARIA CALLAS THE BEST FOREVER.

[@stillstanding6031]

Arguably, THE best. I find it hard to fault her in anything she sings. Just amazing.

[@beachfanatic2010]

@@stillstanding6031 The problem with this interpretation is the VOCAL DEPTH itself. No matter how perfect she is or tries to sing this note by note - Freni simply does NOT have the depth as she is a light lyric soprano and this requires a true dramatic voice such as Callas, or Nilsson, or Dame Eva Turner. Tosca requires vocal DEPTH!

[@stillstanding6031]

@@beachfanatic2010 To each his own.

[@beachfanatic2010]

@@stillstanding6031 This isn’t a debate but a fact! The minimum size of voice this role requires is Tebaldi and Tebaldi’s voice already is trillions of times heavier than Freni.

[@Hachiyoka-TV]

The voice is wonderful and the pitch is comfortable. The Italian pronunciation is great, so it will be a great learning experience for me as a Japanese. Thank you for uploading a great video.

[@ciociosan]

Requiescat in pace, Mirella.

[@fabianacavallaro6928]

È sempre una gioia sentire la sua voce.

[@joannegallagher8501]

OMG..MIRELLA IS THE ANGEL VOICE OF OPERA, A PURE GOD GIVEN TALENT AND LIKE PAVAROTTI, THERE WILL BE NO OTHER SHE IS GLORIOUS..

[@dzzedge]

Questa canzone e la performance sono così belle. Celeste! Mi ha toccato profondamente il cuore e mi ha fatto piangere. Sospiro.

[@otfried]

A generation of an Italian school of bel canto has come to an end. R.I.P. Sig.ra Freni.

[@AlexOrozco-Social-Pariah]

:'( rest in peace Prima Donna, we'll all be missing you

[@AlphonsodeBarbo]

That was gorgeous!

[@jeanamherd6178]

Jean Amherd 15/02/2020 merveilleux de faire revivre Mirella, la modeste, avec Pavarotti c'était un couple mytique dans bien des interprétations, On n'en a jamais assez parlé. Merci. merci.

[@robynlynnellebaker3378]

And that’s how it’s done! Brava!

[@operaloversabater3690]

Never portrayed this role on stage, but wow, does she deliver. She did make the Pavarotti, Milnes recording. :-))

[@andreaprandi9960]

Quanto ci manca Mirella.Troppo!!!

[@cosechadorjunior]

I'm going to sing this song in honor of Mirella. R.I.P.

[@iond5344]

Vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore, non feci mai male ad anima viva! Con man furtiva quante miserie conobbi aiutai. Sempre con fè sincera la mia preghiera ai santi tabernacoli salì. Sempre con fè sincera diedi fiori agl'altar. Nell'ora del dolore perchè, perchè, Signore, perchè me ne rimuneri così? Diedi gioielli della Madonna al manto, e diedi il canto agli astri, al ciel, che ne ridean più belli. Nell'ora del dolor perchè, perchè, Signor, ah, perchè me ne rimuneri così?

[@feleramos923]

Feliz cumpleaños. Mirella. Acuario.

[@ritanuzzo9629]

Da brividi ..voce sovrumana Grazie per la tua vita terrena qui.riposa in pace.

[@xuleizhao]

Just perfect

[@TheVaughan5]

A true lyrico-spinto soprano, virtually extinct now. I’m full of sadness and nostalgia with the news of her departing this World. Fortunately Mirella left us a wonderful recorded legacy. For example, IMO her Mimi in the Karajan recording of La Boheme is the most musical and beautifully executed performance on record.

[@marcmitchel25]

The height of great Italian musicianship.

[@romankotov9914]

I so agree. And a personality to boot

[@BillYovino]

Two notes in and I'm crying.

E' mancata oggi la "nostra" Mirella! Un giorno triste per gli appassionati di musica lirica. Con estrema commozione sto scrivendo queste poche righe su questa grande cantante modenese,proprio come il suo caro amico Pavarotti che l'ha preceduta da ormai molti anni,nell'Olimpo dei grandi!

[@eugeniogentili1048]

Si è morta poco fa un trafiletto di 10 secondi sul Tg3, meriterebbe ben altro spazio x la carriera che ha fatto.

Puccini was her composer .She sang his music with such beauty and emotion and purity, she embodied all the femininity and vulnerability and inner strength that the Puccini Heroines demand! God that voice was ethereal !

Очень и очень красиво.

[@GeoStrum3]

Heart breaking aria!

[@lindsaydenman1835]

I saw her do Butterfly at The Met. She was a great artist. Her repertoire was vast. Tchaikovsky, Handel, all the Italians of course. She was a soubrette but also complex heroines, like Tosca, here. She was a musician, not a celebrity.

[@mugrad25]

A soubrette?

[@matiasmoreno2279]

En paz descanse

[@daniel_5606]

Bravooooo freni.. Maestra.. 👏👏👏

[@gerardoruiz5908]

Maravillosamente bien

[@mugrad25]

that tone at 2:45...so powerful...never even heard that tone come from larger voices which i would expect...its so rounded and heavy despite being an Ab i believe.
