I can only hope my voice not only holds up but improves the way hers has. The voice may no longer have the youthful gleam, but it more than compensates in dramatic impulse and communication of the text. Freni may have been somewhat of the "park and bark" physical acting school, but her voice has more pure acting in it than any younger diva around can muster. Bravo, Mirella. May you thrill us forever!

Absolutely mesmerizing, the condition of the voice as well as the gripping interpretation.Has anyone noticed that Tchaikovsky, where the French text goes "au champ d'honneur", quotes Chopin's well known "Military Polonaise"? I am sure this is no coincidence, it is no plagiarism, only a beautiful piece of inspiration from a great predecessor.

Brilliant, an inspiration to us all!
What she does at 68, singers in today's world not only can't do, but couldn't do at 28. This is the result of solid technique, specifically avoiding certain roles, and not letting anyone tell her otherwise. She's a model of artistry for all of us.

Amazing! Her voice sounds heavier and more aged, but that's only because we know she had that perfectly pristine and bright lyric voice. With such technique and wonderful voice, with a more dramatic sound, she sings just as well as the best younger singers. Brava!
