Title: Mirella Freni in the raw
Review: If you're a fan of Mirella Freni (and face it, who isn't?) than you'll adore hearing some of her earliest work from before she became a star (comparatively). Her voice is as usual - sweetly dark yet still lithe in the upper registers. The recording quality is certainly not the best - this is her recitals, not a digitally mastered CD from the huge recording house. Nevertheless, any Freni fan must listen - even in a less than ideal setting, the beauty of her instrument shines through. Freni can make you cry with her voice--here it is in the raw and just as powerful as ever. A must-have.
