[joaopedro12]

[BeatHaven]

Parlaaa,Parlaaaa,Il nome,il nome :-) Amazing dramatic climaxes.Just in love with this Opera...

[hhyten]

@BeatHaven Yes, absolutely, but in the hands of the right conductor. ;-)

[saverioorlando]

Great Mirella,what a young voice!

[mrluistena]

with Corelli I believe. What a wonderful pair Oh my God.

[legatofancier]

For many years Mirrella Freni was my favorite soprano, of all the artists that I heard in live performance. Speaking personally, there is no one today that compares to her. The warmth, humanity, and immediacy of her sings consistently impresses me. i was lucky enogh to hear four of her recitals and roughly two dozen opera performances over the years. Now i really miss her!

[Mixtupabit]

Puccini would have loved Freni..Perfect Butterfly,Mimi ,Liu

[laCiotta]

Incredibile! :')

Troppo bello..

[gcatnine]

immortale!

You can tell Freni was on her way to a legendary career at the Met... Listen to the audience at 8.01?? They gave Freni an impressive ovation before Liu even got the chance to die!!!

It's a great recording. I have never imagined Freni singing Liu. But she does it very well. Thanks for the video.

this certainly was near the end of the "golden age" but there are still several great singers around- renee fleming, natalie dessay, juan diego florez, and many great singers to come- don't fret

[Operalover77]

Yes, I do agree with you, but still the golden age is over... Sorry... :-(

[Operalover77]

You might think, but I am sure - unfortunately... At least I was lucky enough to see Freni several times in 1990´s. Even when she was 60 and more she always gave a great performance. There are a few very good singers now, but I am really missing all those real stars like Nilsson, Corelli, Horne, Dimitrova, Caballe. Millo seems me to be the last one, but she has minimum engagements now. What a pity...!

[Operalover77]

It must have been a great performance! Don´t you miss singers like them...?

[grandivoce]

Of course!I think we will never see such great cast like this.

[jesusjuanpablo]

I don't think this. We don't know the next generation. Of course it was a great generation.

[Funghiallapanna]

I saw 2 of these performances of TURANDOT with Nilsson, Corelli and Freni. Sir Rudolf also gave us the luxury casting of Bonaldo Giaiotti as Timur. I have been going to the opera for over 4 decades and this was certainly a candidate for possibly the best performance of an Italian opera I ever saw. There is nobody today like Nilsson or Corelli. Nobody! Today there are some very good and intelligent singers. I think, for example, Florez, in his particular repertoire, is excellent.

@Operalover77

There are singers like this,

but they are not wanted

[tschuermann1]

@Operalover77 Yes, singers like them shoul be missed!

There are singers like them , but they are regarded as an object of ridicule today.

A lower quality is prefered today.
