The luminosity of her voice is perfection itself on this one. It blooms like the sweetest rose. Perhaps my favorite recording of any aria.............and that's saying a lot.
If you don't know what she's singing about, please I beg you...read the lyrics. Not only will you cry from her beautifully sung notes but you'll understand the full depths of her joy found in the lyrics
This is one of my most favorite opera recordings of all time...it truly touches the heart and makes me want to cry every time I hear it. Pure magic and a gift for all humanity.
Yes, but I prefer -- a hundred times over -- glorious singing with Italian-inflected French, rather than perfect French with mediocre singing. Et quoiqu'elle ait un fort accent italien, son français n'est pas si mauvais que ça.... C'est parfaitement compréhensible.
In my youth, back in the Sixties, when I still lived in New York, I made the pilgrimage to Modena, just to see the place where Mirella had grown up. And it was worth going there, because the town is lovely, and the Duomo (cathedral) is an unforgettable gem of Romanesque architecture.

Yes, YES. Blooms is the word.
Beautiful color...steady sound, fine control, exquisite musicality, it just doesn't get better than this !
Her legato is incomparable.

In short, it is about a young woman singing of her First Kiss, from her First Love. Truly Beautiful.
crystal clean clear, transparent voice, from Heaven!!! highest class of class!

Not only is Freni's singing exquisite here but she is completely emotionaly true - something one doesn't get from every great soprano.
sempre pirma
Absolutely true. She had a gorgeous voice
Wonderful singing, masterful use of head tones, such musicianship. Beloved Mirella Freni, thank you.
Yes that's the term I was looking for. Emotionally true. Above most others one of the finest voices exquisitely executed
Mirella is simply fantastic, her French is absolutely faultly. Thank you for posting

Who cares about her accent ?
NOT Faultly at all, rather non native speaking, All knows she is Italian, purest voice, highest level of technique and artistry in operatic world.
what an incredible voice and performance !
Va direttamente al cuore ❤Fantastica Mirella Freni.
INFATTI! :-)
amore mirella te ne sei andata a cantare fra gli angeli, ma la tua voce e le carezze che essa diffondeva e' rimasta qua e nessuno ce la puo' togliere
Bella voz y emotiva interpretación.
Bellísima Aria gran interpretación de Mirella Freni.
Che meraviglia
Per me una delle interpretazioni più belle di questo pezzo.
Absolutely beautiful!
Now how about that... One of the greatest things I've ever heard.
Beautiful as I'm listening to it.
me too, and continue to rerun,
My comment 4 years ago was very wrong, my mistake I meant faultless and not faultly
Fabulous! Freni's singing and emotion is perfect!
Потрясающая вокалиста. Очень красивый голос.👏👏👏
If you like Freni, search for the Mireille Delunsch Live version with Paris Opera. Stunningly emotional singing, she bares Louise & her young love.
Assolutamente divina!
La Divina! Rest in peace.
...and let's remember her always.
Magnífica., después de Caballé
Interpretazione astrale di una classe e magia commovente!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rest In Peace.
MAGNILOQUENTE !
Keep Maria Callas, here is a singer with a superb voice through all ranges. Very underrated by some, but Mirella Freni has "the voice of an angel".
Pure fire!
100%, crystal clear and clean, no one else but her!
прекрасная ,очень умная певица и актриса!
Perfection in sound.💖👏💐
Remarkable, that the two world, great singers,Mirella and Luciano, originally came from the same area of Modena, Italy.
In my youth, back in the Sixties, when I still lived in New York, I made the pilgrimage to Modena, just to see the place where Mirella had grown up. And it was worth going there, because the town is lovely, and the Duomo (cathedral) is an unforgettable gem of Romanesque architecture.
Definitely, something in the water.
Hermoso😊
Absolument unique!!!
Magistral
Freni, Fantastic Freni. 🌹
hermoso despues de la version de Caballe lo mas perfercto que e escuchado
Clean, pure.
BRAVA!
Exquisite
How old is Mirella in the album picture? So pretty in the next picture. Super soprano
👼💜🙏
Iridescence.........
Bravoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
wonderful- price's version is even more amazing
Leontyne Price "Depuis le jour" from Louise Live 1968
adoro! mas continuo a preferir a interpretação da Monserrat Caballé
They are very close!
The conductor it is Not Franco Ferrara !
Harsh in places.
Эжжжжж?
Hermosa versión, lastima su dicción
Bellisima, pero lejos de LUCIA POPP
BRAVA!
