She has a real ease, but you know too, that she has put in the hard work and dedication. Knowing when to bow out is a sure sign you have been on top of your game. Great pieces too
Yes - she did the work! And I agree that bowing out is a big sign you’ve made it/top of your game, although I know people in other industries that are addicted to the prestige and power and they don’t leave when they should! :-)
I saw Freni onstage several times. It was amazing how her voice caressed every phrase. But there are some artists who have become great teachers. Take a look at some of Gwyneth Jones’s classes. She doesn’t speak about ephemeral nonsense; she talks about mouth position, tongue position, correct posture, the best way to sing consonants. Her pupils seem to get much better results after just one session.
Her voice is exquisite and she sings with such ease and comfort so her statement about her performance is so on point
"Such ease and comfort" so well said! 🙏

Freni knew her limits and valued her legacy...
