When Freni is at her best like here, for me, there is no more beautiful lyric sound. I know this is personal taste, but the balance and color in her voice is just glorious. And she performs this with direct simplicity, the essence of Mimi.
I was present (in standing room) at the Od Met when Mirella Freni made her debut in Boheme--indelible memory! I heard all of her NY performances. An astounding artist.
Beautiful - both Mirella Freni and von Karajan. How lucky we are that these performances were recorded and preserved for future generations. Thanks to whoever has posted this video.
Qué bella voz, impecable interpretación. Mirella Frenni, una de la últimas voces legendarias. Técnica netamente italiana, voz cubierta y a la vez de máscara. Un sonido redondo, fluido y bello. La voz sull fiato, resuena, suspendida. Después de la Callas, una de mis sopranos favoritas. Bravo, maestra Mirella 👏👏👏
A native New Yorker, I have lived in Milan for the past thirty-eight years; and Mirella Freni had a lot to do with my decision to come here. Her performances, back in the Sixties, at the Met (and in Philadelphia, and in Cleveland, and in Salzburg, and in Paris, and in all the places I went to in order to see and hear her) played a role (although they were not, of course, the only factor) in my determination that Italy was a land of marvels, where I absolutely needed to live. I remember reading somewhere the adage that "people had better be careful about what they wish for in their youth, because they are likely to get it." Well, I'm seventy years old now, and I have gotten out of life much of what I yearned for in my youth. And guess what: "Je ne regrette rien."
David, I didn't understand all your comment but I understand that you are a special person. In italian, that You surely undersand very well, sei una persona speciale.
David was the love of opera that made you to live in Italy? I am older than you and as a very young men I lived in Genova and I can understand your feeling.I used to go to the Carlo Felice in Genova and of course at the Scala. The first time that I went to the opera, I was so much impressed that I had to hide my tears. Un'opera non è solamente musica ;le parole ne fanno una poesia che rispecchia la sublimità. No rien de rien no, moi aussi je ne regrette rien.
Inégalable dans la Bohème ,une voix d'or et de miel ,légende du Met et de la Scala .Admirable dans Butterfly et Adriana Lecouvreur .Étonnante dans Tatiana d'Eugène Onéguine' en russe ! Et inattendue dans la Marguerite du Faust de Gounod .Une très belle artiste ,très émouvante ,une grande musicienne ,une très grande Dame .Merci Mirella
Если бы мне сказали лет 35 назад что Я буду смотреть мастер классы,,,Я бы сказал ему что он сумасшедший,,Но сейчас Я в свои 53 года смотрю все это и просто поражаюсь что опера это Царица,Королева Вселенской музыки!!! Брависимо,великолепно...Видимо это приходит с возрастом!!!! Я очень люблю итальянскую музыку...80х диско,,,но ОПЕРА,,,ЭТО КОСМОС!!!!
The wonderfulness and beauty of her singing voice are out of this world, and unrivaled, and indescribable, and off the charts. I feel like I am in the Heaven
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!
Ho il ricordo bellissimo di una Boheme al teatro Carlo Felice a Genova!!! Talmente dolce e commovente che mi sono trovata a piangere senza nemmeno accorgermi. Una recita meravigliosa come solo lei sapeva rendere Mimi. Grazie infinite per quanto ci ha dato questa grande interprete!!!
Descanse en Paz, Mirella Freni. Tuve el privilegio de escucharte y disfrutar en vivo tus presentaciones en el Palacio Nacional de Bellas Artes (México). Que tengas un buen viaje.
This is the first aria I heared in the voice of Mirella Freni around 25 years ago. It caught me instantly and she became one of my favorites. ♥ For my ears, Mirella Freni and Renata Tebaldi, the best Mimis.

ciao Mirella non ho parole sei e sarai sempre grandissima ti ho seguito fin dal tuo inizio canteraI Iin paradiso sicuramente ti mando un bacio da firenze Rolando
The rapport and sense of mutual respect between Freni and Karajan is palpable. It does not get any better than this and the result of this partnership is obvious for everyone to see and hear. Simply wonderful.
as soon as Mirella began to cry, the impact began. This is the true talent given by God. The architectonics of sound, the tonal richness of the highest professionalism
amherd jean 15/02/2020 Quel plaisir renouvelé, et ému d'entendre cette voix, quia contribué aussi à faire connaître le grand Pavarotti. Souvenir d'un temps irrémédiablement passé. mais qui a marqué cette époque des années 1980. Merci.
Merci merci madame Freni......... je n'ai jamais oublie notre rencontre ! et ce que vous m'aviez dit : que vous auriez aime chanter beaucoup plus en Francais..........!!!!!!! peut-etre dans une prochaine vie ? en tous cas, MERCI, MERCI pour l'artiste que vous etes, la grande MIMI de tous les temps (entre autres), et une admirable artiste........
Mirella Freni was magnificent but equally noteworthy is the orchestra, which accompanied her perfectly, with just the perfect level of dynamics, which caressed Mirella Freni's singing - allowing her to express the vulnerability and innocence of Mimi's character. Brava!
I completely agree. This is why Karajan was known as a "singer's conductor". Some conductors treat the singers like instruments, either too fast, too slow, making the orchestra too loud and overpowering the singers, etc. Not Karajan, he always knew how to elicit great vocals.
Meu DEUS como pode um ser humano cantar desse grito? Quemaravilha. Obrigado Mirella você é abençoada por Deus linda e perfeita soprano. Belíssima mulher ❤
The role would require a younger soprano. In some passages the voice is too dark, but it is still a good interpretation. There is no comparison with the version registered with Karajan when she was young
When Freni is at her best like here, for me, there is no more beautiful lyric sound. I know this is personal taste, but the balance and color in her voice is just glorious. And she performs this with direct simplicity, the essence of Mimi.
Always perfect! I love singing Mimì thanks to Mirella Freni. Her interpretation of this role is still the best!
E' tuo il primo sole ...
bravissima, elegante, educata e dolcissima Regina del Bel Canto italiano RIP
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cara Mirella eri, sei, sarai sempre la n. 1. ❤ Ci manchi tantissimo con questa soave voce e con il tuo simpaticissimo volto.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
mi piace molto questo soprano vice dolce e dammatica che regalo del nostro Dio Geova gli ha fatto!
Allah ...God...elohim. Deus. ....God is for all.
Best ever
I was present (in standing room) at the Od Met when Mirella Freni made her debut in Boheme--indelible memory! I heard all of her NY performances. An astounding artist.
What's in the water in Modena, Italy? Freni and Pavarotti were childhood friends. Beautiful. Love how long she holds notes
The world lost one of its most beautiful and passionate voices 😢
Beautiful - both Mirella Freni and von Karajan. How lucky we are that these performances were recorded and preserved for future generations. Thanks to whoever has posted this video.
Mirella nel cuore, sempre ♥️
Addio, cara Maestra MF, ultimo soprano legendario... Feb 9, 2020.
😢
Mirella , you were my time....
Voce,. Magnifica, riposa, in, pace,
No, MF no sono ultimo soprano legendario. Virginia Zeani e ultimo soprano legendario.

No grande ma grandissima Freni. Mai una primadonna, sempre la vera artista ! Sublime !

One of the voices that fueled my love of Opera.
Jay Hartbarger Same here....
Obviously !😃
Mine too. She has this low tone and a mezzo-soprano it just sounds so full and she sings with so much passion.

Intramontabile. Voce di velluto. Indimenticabile. Riposa tra gli Angeli
Che il suo ricordo gli sopravviva per sempre!
@@Stefanox101 Un meritato augurio. davvero. Una grande interprete, una voce particolarmente adatta a Puccini...
The best Mimi.

Che classe, che eleganza! E l'orchestra respira con lei in ogni momento! Poesia.
Ti adoro meraviglia del mondo voce D'Angelo

Freni is best soprano ever! I heard her at the Met in Adriana. Her voice is much larger live. HUGE! Then I met her. So tiny and kind.
grandissimo soprano. una delicatezza assurda.R.I.P. cara mirella
Cara Mirella ci manchi un casino 😭. La tua soave voce è ancora nelle nostre orecchie. Sarai sempre con noi😥🥰🔥💕♥️

Where did she start to cry? I never noticed...
Chloe Easterling Perhaps in her role as Mimi....
Chloe Easterling I think it means the day of her birth ?
Rest in Peace, sing with the angels now.

She brings tears to your eyes combination of a beautiful powerful voice
I love opera because of voices like hers! Stunning!
Meravigliosa!

Meravigliosa, sublime. R.I.P.
Gran Mirella Freni. una de les millors.Gràcies per la teva veu.RIP
Grande donna e grande soprano. Che la terra ti sia lieve, cara Mirella.
True, powerful, rich with rock-solid pitch. That's Freni.
But not the written rythms.
DIVINA MIRELLA! The best Mimì of all times!

Grande Mirella Freni una voce stupenda anch'io come ha scritto un Signore la colloco nell' olimpo dei grandi immensa
It's just musical poetry, art, and just human beauty, outstanding xx
Meu DEUS como pode um ser humano cantar desse grito? Quemaravilha. Obrigado Mirella você é abençoada por Deus linda e perfeita soprano. Belíssima mulher ❤

Bellísimo....inigualable!!!
And so young! And so sweet. As she still is today.
The role would require a younger soprano. In some passages the voice is too dark, but it is still a good interpretation. There is no comparison with the version registered with Karajan when she was young
Beautiful woman, beautiful voice.
