stupenda, un miracolo di bel canto, purezza di emissione, legato impeccabile, fraseggio da manuale, in una parola la musicalità belliniana per eccellenza, Mirella Freni era tutto ciò!
Andrei, you are famous for sharing exciting singing! I guess the exception confirms the rule... she managed to put me off to sleep with one of my favourite cavatinas.
Well....I think Freni is exciting only when she sleeps :)) This music is wonderful.....she sounds sooo bored lol, does she really understands it?. When I hear her florid passages I get annoyed....not just bored! so slow, mushy coloratura....ugh...
sevoflurane In all her high roles she slows down everything to stay safe.....but no highs, not a powerful bottom either, no coloratura? Legato has to suffer a lot....then what does she bring new to the role? Reminds me of dogs barking from time to time.
sevoflurane PS: The reason I posted this it's because this is a rare opera....great music but unfortunately very underrated. Having more references helps.....even if some of them are not that good....like this particular case.
