"I just couldn't stop playing this disc which is not surprising given that Freni has one of the finest soprano voices I have ever heard."
(MusicWeb July 2011)

With her Mimì, she conquered the world. Mirella Freni's extraordinary career lasted for over 30 years, and she never lost the enchanting youthfulness of her voice. She said farewell to the operatic stage in 2005 as a celebrated soprano in full possession of her vocal skills. Recordings from three Sunday concerts by the Münchner Rundfunkorchester document Mme. Freni in arias that reveal the many different facets of her artistry. The program ranges from her key role, Mimì, all the way to Tatyana in Tchaikovsky's Evgeny Onegin.
