Soprano MIRELLA FRENI
Direttore MARCELLO VIOTTI
VENEZIA 19 Dicembre 2002

[@AHalfBaritone]

Yes. Her voice has always sounded fresh and natural. A good indication of singing the right roles and repertoire. All this gives her singing the effect of spontaneity. brilliant!

[@abbybambi578]

Knowing that Freni passed away three days ago, this aria makes it more sadder that she's no longer in this world. RIP Mirella Freni, The real Mimi ❤💔😭

[@zachUK]

She sang WELL for 53 years ... remarkable. One of the very very best. (As was Mariella Adni, much underrated).

......il canto di un 'artista che raccoglie tutto quello che sa ...e non mente dando alla preghiera una Verità assoluta...un canto del Cigno che la onora....

[@pilouetmissiou]

still to this period of the life such a voice..is wonderful.... she always sang respecting her voice and the result is here very clear.... you were really a Diva also in the soul...

[@user-py1jg6bb2r]

always fall in love with her voice, no matter at what age she was doing it, or which aria... pure as crystal, finest crafted instrument from Above! RIP, love you forever...

[@fishermann1102]

Wow, she still sound absolutely amazing!

[@melbapatti]

The great Freni was NEVER a wimp when it came to singing. I heard her as Juliette twice at the Met in '68. It was youthful and charming, yet of great house-filling sonority. She matched Corelli and Gedda note for note. When she returned, after a 15 year absence, in '83 for Elisabetta in Don Carlo we couldn't believe our ears. More youthful sounding than ever (48 at the time), she literally SAILED through the very difficult role, totally full-throated, with almost arrogant ease. Tu che le vanità stopped the show and her long final high B peeled the gold leaf off the back wall. We cheered ourselves hoarse during curtain calls. Fast forward to this performance, almost 30 years later (this is from 2002) and she sounds as beautiful and steady and full-throated as ever. The musical selection is a piece loved by many. Not by me, alas. The great Freni, however, is another matter. She is simply one of the most lovable sopranos in history.

AGREE

[@edwardbeckwith]

i know too peeled walls off

[@SamsonCheung]

Still my Diva, after all these years from LP to CD........Blessings to your health.

[@yww7938]

She was around 70 singing this. Just incredible!

[@jeffreymiller4814]

She was 67 and still singing Fedora and Tchaikovsky’s Maid of Orleans very successfully in fully staged performances.

[@theodorebiele5201]

Always, always the beautiful voice. I've listened to her for many years and I'm glad she's still here.

[@callastoujours]

She was 67 here, WOW! Brava!

[@wljmrbill]

One of the all time greats IMHO.

[@tanamaltcheva4718]

La Prima Donna!

[@fabriziomariagarzi5534]

Le Prime Donne sono un'altra cosa...qua' siamo a un livello comportamentale quasi rionale..la Callas, la Sutherland, la Caballe', la Bumbry..quelle sono le Prime Donne.

[@captebbtide]

OK, this is the magnificence we can expect from seasoned opera veterans like Freni, who can bring out the true glory of works like Mascagani. Younger singers I've heard heard on KZbin are good, but they just really haven't "arrived" yet.

[@dramaturge231]

This is freaking amazing.

[@rubensmiguelez9084]

Mirella Freni ha representado y representa para mí, cuando expresa su arte canoro, la máxima de la belleza platónica en su sentido literal.. Bellísima Mirella...

[@RobertoMartinez-kv5tp]

She was good in her day, but she is tight, holding and constricting.

[@PLANOWESTWOLF]

Much prefer Joyce, this woman’s voice is just too old and too much vibrato for me . Joyce’s rendition is far better .

[@celibidache1000]

Lee Croman When Joyce is 70 years old, she won’t be able to sing at all. And to refer to Mirella Freni as “this woman” shows you have a lot to learn.

[@dennisdeemii]

@@celibidache1000 I think the same thing as you. That dude above needs to learn some respect. I can't stand Joyce.
