Domingo you like better the great F: Corelia is a matter of taste, on what he saw and heard in Verona on "Turandott" and sang lousy, do not deny that I did not see, I would doubt that he always was much sought after by the big stage of the lyrics in the world, even after retirement continued to seek voluntary, since it debuted at the Met. until his retirement was permanent success clerk barely knew were sold out.

[joxnephilly]

This is the best Mimi I've watched tonight. Ms. Freni is the perfect Mimi.

[TheMarranella]

una sola parola: Grazie!

[Ubris2010]

Adoro Mirella Freni in Mimi, è assolutamente meravigliosa!

[PlacidoDomingo4EVER]

Domingo mi piace tantissimo, ma la Freni è semplicemente FANTASTICA!!

[FurioTerzappi]

@ABK2687 condivido

Mirella Freni è veramente impressionante per la sua grandezza! Ma devo dire che Domingo, nei panni di Rodolfo, è una vera sorpresa... se la tessitura non è nelle sue corde (e si sente) lui riesce comunque a entrare talmente nell'opera da "diventare" Rodolfo. Domingo è veramente uno dei più grandi animali da palcoscenico dei nostri tempi!

[solo19971]

@spampi79 ...Domingo ' e' ' Rodolfo, e Pinkerton, e Alfredo e Cavaradossi...: lui i personaggi LI VIVE, LI SOFFRE...!!! Nessuno come lui!!!

[greeneyesmexico]

Timeless. I was fortunate to see her in Rome when I was a little girl. It was my first Opera and I cried for hours. Even now, decades later this makes me cry every time. She, together with Renata Tebaldi, is my favorite Mimi.

[carlogic1953]

può sembrare puerile o presuntuoso fare certe affermazioni, eppure non posso evitarlo: la freni in questo duetto è la perfezione assoluta, il massimo che un orecchio (educato o no non fa differenza) può desiderare, la totale partecipazione empatica con lo spirito del personaggio mimì. e non basta: è la fusione perfetta anche con i colori dell'orchestra. la sua voce va oltre la resa timbrica, l'intonazione o la coincidenza tra note ed enunciati, è quintessenziale di tutta l'arte di puccini.

[pieritlyon]

!!!GRANDE MIRELLA FRENI, MAGNIFICA "Mimi".LO MEJOR. .Domingo no está mal; es que cuando se ha escuchado al Gran Maestro F:Corelli es muy dificil encontrar magnifico a otro tenor, puede que éste interprete bién, sea melodioso pero la voz, generalmente, no me gusta mucho. Reconosco que, por empeño no se queda y tiene otra cualidades Cordialmente.

[solo19971]

@pieritlyon ...I heard both many times..and the last one of Corelli Turandot Arena di Verona : disaster!!!!

No one like Domingo!!!

[operachicky1]

anyone know where i can purchase this opera I cant find it anywhere

[Barbapippo]

Damn, why the video stops just before the heartbreaking finale??? Mirella Freni is an angel, that's what she is...

[Linuspuntoit]

Domingo ha una bellissima voce....ma la Freni, la Freni.... è meravigliosa, sempre !

[Caredhel]

I actually *like* the more syrupy timbre her voice has in this later performance--I don't think the fullness and softer edges take away from the performance, rather they add to her range of vocal colors and the depth she can bring to the role. Proof that Mimi doesn't have to be totally insipid... she can be a soulful character with some dimension.

In the era of pre-packaged, flavor-of-the-week recording stars, I wish more people would go back and listen to the artistry of REAL soprani.

[mividaesmilicia]

Just lovely!!! post same more of this please!!!I would love O soave Fanciulla, by Domingo and Freni!=)

[PinkBs52]

Quello che è straordinario nel canto di Mirella Freni, oltre al fraseggio spontaneo e misurato, è la perfetta centratura di ogni nota, la costante vibrazione del suono.

[Nanni1947]

grande Giacomo Puccini! Io nn mi sento Italiano ma per fortuna (Italiano come Puccini) o purtoppo (italiano come Silvio Berlusconi) lo sono...grandissimo Giorgio Gaber!

[Vielflieger01]

Why it is so difficult to accept the truth??

Domingo`s narrow vocal range and his undifferenciated interpretation can never honor this oper. Please listen Freni and Pavarotti and learn!

[highflyer0509]

i am learning this song and it is tough, if you can sing it, you have a great range.... get over yourself

[cstrum]

You have obviously lost your mind.

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

Callas-We're talking about the meaning of words and not their origin. The origin is fixed in time past. But meanings do evolve and loose their connection with their origin as seen in the very word on which you have been opining. As such, you're reference to the origin of that word does take the accepted meaning of context!

[callastoujours]

You have the right nickname man, though, I think "Torquemada" suits you better.

Besides, you forgot to say "in my opinion"

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

Callas-Thanks for showing your stupidity! You seem to be too dumb to know the difference between being "inquisitive" and being an "inquisitionist". I'd suggest you find a dictionary and first learn the meanings of those words. Then take the book and hit yourself on the head (not too hard though) to remind you that you should not comment on things you do not comprehend. Now get lost you dimwit!

[callastoujours]

My dear, may be you don't know anything about words and its etymology, or may be you don't understand ironic phrases...

Never mind. Go on with that anger, you're gonna get gastric ulcer, ha, ha, ha.

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

What's a disaster is Domingo's transposed rendition of Rudolfo. With his hooted, throaty and pushed voice and his piss poor vocal range he cannot do justice to this role! Try Freni and Pavarotti -a much better duo for La Boheme.

[morena3110]

penso che Mirella Freni sia stata la MIMì per eccellenza...poi con un Rodolfo del genere!!!

stupendi tutti e due...

[ABK2687]

@morena3110 sono d'accordo con te, che poi la freni e domingo sono grandi in ogni ruolo che fanno..

[goldenthroat86]

I heard Freni  at the Met in 1989..She sang Puccini's Manon Lescaut... a SPINTO role. Her voice was large and NO problem riding over the orchestra.

[lyricfana2]

Je ne connaissais pas cette interprétation ! merci beaucoup ; je suis d'accord avec le commentaire précédent ; la meilleure Mimi que j'ai entendue pour ses variations tout à fait à propos

[Jmooreluv]

Absolutely PERFECT!!!!!!!! Brava Freni! What a doll! No one beats her!!

[thelouisfanclub]

And also, the best Rodolfos for me are those who sing the line "Ah, Mimi! Mia bella Mimi!" with such beauty

If they don't do that line well, it spoils it for me!

[isisclassic]

Those who said it is a disaster freni know nothing about music or vocal technique therefore, they have to say?

[queenspersephone]

I *heart* Mirella Freni!!!

[donthuis]

This one was always my favourite Boheme combi. Mirella Freni almost looks and sings if her consumption is real. Especially in the scene, when she waits outside in the snow (TV-film version). I've also got the record, still in mono. And finally the curtain is closed: finito!

[woytynowska]

Freni is good, even great... but... NOT in Boheme. I prefer her Desdemona, her Elisabetta, her Buterfly. She sounds too dark as Mimi, her Mimi is older, without such grace and innocence, without so big emotions... Teresa Stratas as Mimi is my favorite, or maybe also Cristina Gallardo-Domas.

[jmahlon]

so basically you like Mimi's that are vocal disasters?

[woytynowska]

Teresa Stratas - vocal disaster?! Well... your opinion. IMHO Mirella Freni didn't really understood Mimi, I don't mean she sings bad. Technically she is great. Anyway, de gustibus non est disputandum.

[jmahlon]

Why don't you stop trolling Freni Mimi clips. Your two Mimi's don't come close.

[xafnndapp]

I just watched the MET Boheme with Stratas.

I think there is NO comparison between the gorgeous italianate voice of Freni and the quite arid voice of Stratas.

Also, the use of words is of course a vantage for the native Freni.

I found also Stratas a bit too affected as an actress, even if with good moments.

Freni WAS Mimi.

And Domingo is SUCH an Artist!

[dachsieangelgirl]

I totally agree!!!! THEY WERE ABSOLUTE MAGIC TOGETHER!!

[Jmooreluv]

You must have a very conservative opinion on what dark sounds are then. Freni has a beautifully dramatic sound but it is far from being too dark for Mimi. However, if you really think it's too heavy, there are recordings of her singing it when she was about 28. Still, this is her most famous role of all time, and many stupid critics even criticized her for being too light at times. It's funny. I think the balance is amazing. She is by far the most famous Mimi of the last 50 years.

[streapsearch]

...bravissimi sia Placido Domingo che Mirella Freni, ma scusate...la Boheme Callas & Di Stefano è un'altra cosa...è LA Boheme...

[Orbazzano]

scusami ma la Callas non si avvicina neppure alla Mimì della Freni...La Callas canta Mimì, la Freni è Mimì, questa è la differenza!

[thelouisfanclub]

exactly!!!

[jmahlon]

I can't stop watching this video

[jmahlon]

OMG this is so freaking gorgeous the way she spins the phrases, I can't remember ever hearing this sung more true.

[Orbazzano]

Non c'è niente da fare, la Freni è Mimì, oltre al timbro di divina belleza, chi ha mai sentito una Mimì fraseggiata meglio di così? Questà è Mimì che grida al suo Rodolfo il suo straziato amore. Mi spiace ma qui non ci sono Callas che tengono, questa è la Mimì del secolo e probabilmente di sempre. Grazie Mirella!

[xafnndapp]

Mirella e' una favolosa Mimi', senza ombra di dubbio.

In generale sicuramente meglio della Callas.

Ma la frase "Sono andati etc etc " della Callas mi da piu' brividi che questa...

[gohar002]

grandissima Mirella... commovente davvero...

[Orbazzano]

Qui ci troviamo d'accordo! ;)

[mariamab30]

Vienna, 1983.

Thank you so much, Gabba!

[celesteaida]

Please, what is the date of the performance and the theatre?

[Orbazzano]

Grandiosi! Mi commuovono!

[celesteaida]

Grazie Gabba è bellissimo!

Per favore postane ancora qualche pezzo.

[pdefeoo]

I can't stop watching this! No wonder that they received the longest applause in history of opera - on hour, fifty minutes! (Guinness Book of Records).

[operagirl81]

WOW!!

[pugacci]

Domingo and Freni: Dreamteam for this opera! Best performed version of "sono andati"! Tender, emotionally but still very passionately sung. Complimenti, cara Mirella! Bravo!

Thanks God for this heavenly voices!

[egrosz]

Beautiful both video.Thanks to Puccini we can be a few minutes in heaven..And thanks You Gabba

[pugacci]

Exactly. This is what paradise must be like...

[Jolantabuk]

What a wonderful scene! Thank you very much for sharing this video!
