Mirella Freni: «Tu che la vanità», de Don Carlos, de G. Verdi.

[@canticumcordis7538]

La linea di canto, il fraseggio, l’interpretazione sono veramente belle in questa performance di Mirella Freni. ❤🎵

[@gastonencarletto8869]

Superba interpretazione...di MIRELLA FRENI..dove il suo canto...scorre sulle note in maniera cristallina...dove nelle asperità che questa grande aria presenta...questa somma cantante le affronta...e le cavalca dando l'impressione di una facilità tale ..che il suono è magnifico ed unico...l'interpretazione che dà..MIRELLA FRENI..con la sua arte in DON CARLO...è il top di tutta la storia sopranile di questa Opera...👑👏👏👏💖

If ever there was a masterclass in singing and opera... this is it...brava mirella!

[@peterchun1521]

Un. believable. A complete and ultimate SLAYING of the music, and the audience. Wow...

[@LazarNewDeal]

A heavier soprano will always be missed in this aria, but Freni's line of singing and vocal wisdom here is amazing.

[@rossmerchant8435]

E godi nell'avel il riposo profondo, Mirella Freni. RIP Another true artist lost this year. This was the first aria I thought to listen to when I heard the news. One of her great roles, to which she brought so much sorrow, maturity, and warmth

[@fredojoaquim4764]

Freni is lovely and a wonderful Elisabetta. A very heavy role for a soprano. Mirella Freni's performance is majestically sublime.😍☀️🤩

Uno dei pezzi più verdi che abbia mai scritto Verdi. Interpretato benissimo dalla Freni, con fraseggio eccellente. Anche Levine (che non mi è mai piaciuto molto in Verdi) ha levigato certe sue asperità e saputo giocare coi fiati in modo eccezionale.

Freni did an outstanding job here. She was always considered more lyrical soprano, but she sure pulled out some chest voice here and kept her vocal line impeccable. And she looks very cute in that costume.

Tú, que la vanidad del mundo conociste y gozas, en tu sepulcro, del reposo profundo, si aún se llora en el cielo, llora por mi dolor, y lleva mi llanto al trono del Señor. ¡Sí! ¡Carlos vendrá! ¡Que se vaya y me olvide para siempre! A Posa, que velaría por su futuro, le juré, que siga, pues, su destino. La gloria alcanzará; para mí, la vida ya se ha terminado... ¡Francia, noble tierra, tan querida en mi infancia! ¡Fontainebleau! Hacia ti vuelan mis pensamientos. Allí escuchó Dios de mí, eterno juramento de amor, y esa eternidad sólo duró un día. Entre vosotros, dulces jardines de esta tierra ibera, si Carlos aún detiene sus pasos al anochecer, que los prados y los arroyos, las fuentes, los bosques y las flores, con su armonía, le canten nuestro amor. ¡Adiós, bellos sueños de oro, ilusión perdida! ¡El lazo se rompió; la luz se apagó! ¡Adiós, juventud que cedes a este cruel dolor! El corazón sólo tiene un deseo: ¡la paz de la tumba! Tú, que la vanidad conociste del mundo y gozas, en tu sepulcro, del reposo profundo, si aún se llora en el cielo, llora por mi dolor, y el tuyo, con el llanto mío, ofrece a los pies del Señor.

[@pabloperdomo5174]

Who cares if the voice was not heavy enough for this role. Listen to the nuances of her interpretation, the character portrayed through one of the most beautiful soprano voices ever, supreme musicality. Tebaldi NEVER sang the role on stage only recorded it for the London/DECCA label near the end of her glorious career. Callas sang this with Corelli on stage at La Scala and there are rumors that the tenor's wife recorded the whole opera but never released it because "il divo" was not in perfect voice that night. Caballé, which I admired a lot, sang Elisabetta many times perhaps with a more appropriate voice and colors but never close to Freni's refined and dramatic expressiveness.

[@golden-63]

A bit, but intelligently sung.

[@draganvidic2039]

Role is for a dramatic soprano or a spinto, nevertheless even lyrics sing it nowadays. Freni is one great lyric who started this habit since she was asked to do it. She also did Manon Lescaut and Aida...

[@wilsonwatt9283]

Karajan started this trend. He did not like the big sopranos who often overpowered his orchestra. He hated Nilsson for example even though he worked with her because he had to given her standing in Wagner. He wanted all singers to be secondary to his orchestra, as though opera was some sort of concert rather than a dramatic performance where the singers are more important. The only vocal artist he ever really respected was Callas.

[@draganvidic2039]

Wilson Watt Yes, she was asked to do it I guess.

[@thomasmerkelbach2755]

Wilson Watt I love Callas. That doesn‘t mean I don‘t have to miss others. And Freni was a great Elisabetta.

[@rossmerchant8435]

@@wilsonwatt9283 Nilsson's riotous sense of humor was the perfect foil to the ego of Karajan, or Herbie, as she called him. Per Nilsson, he wrote her with a list of roles he demanded to conduct her in. To which she laconicly replied "Busy. Birgit." There's also the famous story where she wore a miners hat to rehearsal to protest his dimly-lit staging

[@draganvidic2039]

Wilson Watt I read yesterday he wanted her to sing Turandot which she wisely refused, and that was the end of them working together. They never spoke again.

[@orion8835]

R.I.P. Freni -Mirella did very well with the lirico-spinto roles and is near perfection in this role as her voice which was always plump really expanded a bit larger by the 1980’s. However : “Il pianto mio , o porto altrono del Signor” was only half effective as she became inaudible on the second of low part before leap. It’s a notorious interval that only a few recorded sopranos seem to manage and even live it can get fudged. Freni seems more preoccupied with gunning to the Bb quickly in an outer hinge technique versus an inner glottal space. The latter would have made room for both the lower proceeding chest note and the top note. Callas certainly made the most of this tortured system of text in this arias composition [1958 live perf -NOT the studio where it’s lightened) and it’s completely a highlight of the entire aria in many ways. Others like : Zeani 1971 Bucharest, Tebaldi earlier recording nail it .....However it’s often run over.

It says soprano lirico here (about Freni) which is true. Role is for a dramatic soprano. It still sounded reasonably good though she pushed her voice beyond its natural limitations...

[@szilvia2080]

Le vanità, no „la vanità”. Tu che le vanità conoscesti del mondo E godi nell'avel il riposo profondo, Se ancor si piange in cielo, piangi sul mio dolor, E porta il pianto mio al trono del Signor.

[@leonoradelagardie]

The great Freni is probably more at home with Mimi than with Elisabetta.

[@draganvidic2039]

Leonora de la Gardie Of course since she was a lyric... She nevertheless managed to push it into the spinto roles. Listen to her live Nanetta from 1963 where she still sang naturally.
