This time around, I explore some her performances of operas and works which she performed only rarely, or to which she turned later in her career. Featured works include excerpts from Handel\u2019s <em>Serse<\/em>, Bellini\u2019s <em>Beatrice di Tenda<\/em>, Mozart\u2019s <em>Le nozze di Figaro<\/em> (in which Freni sings the Countess rather than her usual Susanna), the title role in Gounod\u2019s <em>Mireille<\/em>, Tatyana in <em>Yevgeny Onegin<\/em>, and Richard Strauss\u2019s <em>Vier letzte Lieder<\/em>. The Finnish baritone Jorma Hynninen, one of my favorite singers, is heard as Onegin. Conductors include Claudio Abbado, Bruno Bartoletti, Michel Plasson, and V\u00e1clav Smet\u00e1\u010dek. The episode concludes with a relatively obscure 1977 studio recording of Freni singing \u201cSignore, ascolta\u201d from <em>Turandot<\/em> which represents the absolute pinnacle of her vocal art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:30px\" class=\"has-custom-size\"><strong> RECORDINGS HEARD IN THIS EPISODE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"755\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Freni-in-Serse.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Freni-in-Serse.jpg 768w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Freni-in-Serse-300x295.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Mirella Freni as Romilda in <em>Serse<\/em>, La Scala 1962<br><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>George Frideric Handel: Va godendo (<em>Serse<\/em>).
