Mi dispiace molto... stiamo perdendo tutti i grandi. Spero che i giovani facciano tesoro dei loro insegnamenti. I am so sorry for this loss... I hope that young singers will treasure all that masters have taught.
Personally, her continuous hard work to perfect everything she did (and still does)should surely be the first of the Worlds Great Wonders. Beautiful voice, beautiful mastery too. Thank the Lord for youtube and our ability to access such wonders.
For somebody who has only recently in the last year truly discovered this kind of music and these kind of female voices it's such a pleasure to hear such singing. Long may it last.
She was a soloist on my first Carmen recordings. I never saw her in performance until now. I am thrilled beyond words. People who devote themselves to the expression of this form of art are to be respected and even adored. Robert
sono modenese; e sono orgoglioso , fiero e grato di avere come concittadina una grandissima artista come la signora freni. una delle pochissime grandi cantanti che tanto hanno dato alla musica. sacrificio, dedizione, talento, buon gusto, arte e ......sopratutto la sua splendida ineguagliabile voce. un dono di dio offerto a tutti coloro che hanno voluto ,vogliono e vorranno elevare la propria anima. un immenso grazie x tutto ciò che ha fatto.......x noi.
Buon gusto...non sempre. Qua' per esempio e' piuttosto greve..tutte le "a" gravi aperte...seguito a preferire la Callas, la De Los Angeles, la Sayao...
DIVINE VOICE !!! ENDLESS BRAVO FOR Your FANTASTIC TALENT !!! THANK You FOR THE BIG PLEASURE !!! ALWAYS WITH A LOT OF LOVE AND LIGHT N.Mirkova and friends from Sofia - Bulgaria
Its wonderful to observe a conductor who is willing to follow the singers tempo and lead the orchestra to "jump" to the right place when the tempo is too slow like Freni purposfully marked here. She was was wonderful in technique and expression with a good connection to her chest voice. A rare voice indeed !
The city of Modena deserves its own chapter in Italian history with Freni, Pavarotti, Enzo Ferrari, parmigiano reggiano, balsamico di Modena, Duomo di Modena, Torre della Ghirlandina, Piazza Grande, Massimo Bottura and not least Università degli Studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia founded in 1175 + many others I've ignorantly omitted!
