Mirella Freni was one of Herbert von Karajan’s favourite singers; indeed, he is known to have commented that if he could have any voice in the world, it would be hers. Combining a stunning voice with heartfelt acting, Freni is equally at home in the lighter roles, such as Mozart’s Susanna and Zerlina, as in the weightier roles of Puccini’s Manon Lescaut and Tosca. This collection brings together arias from throughout Freni’s illustrious career. |

and traditional Portugese songs sung by Bidù Sayão
Manon was Sayão's debut at the Met and introduces us to the exquisite, already accomplished art of this marvellously beautiful and gifted soprano. Sayãos New York debut with Toscanini and the New York Philharmonic in 1936 is the only other work which captures Sayão in all the dazzling beauty of her early voice. Recorded on 13th February, 1937 | |
