Donde lieta (Mimis Farewell) - From La Bohème
Indeed, the CD as a whole features Nash's individual art and minstrel-like timbre.

He is also heard in a couple of scenes from the Columbia Faust set under Beecham. Included here are the Prologue in Faust's study, where his longing for a return to youth is keenly portrayed, and the opera's finale. Odd not to have added the garden scene with Licette's lovely Marguerite.
The CD is completed by some of Nash's most attractive Columbia issues, not least his mellifluous singing of Des Grieux's dream song from Manon.

Saturday's first performance of the season marked a nostalgic milestone in the Lyric tenure of Mirella Freni, the evening's Mimi. The fragile seamstress was the Italian soprano's debut role here in and few roles she would later undertake in her transition from lyric to heavier dramatic parts better suited her voice and temperament.
Now that she is in the winter of her fruitful career, Freni found the Puccini heroine a still-congenial means of rounding her career circle.

That's how Chicago became the latest stop on a "farewell tour" that began last year in Turin with the centennial production of "La Boheme. More so than several of her famous contemporaries, Freni's long career is a tribute to her musical intelligence, tenacity and professionalism. You could observe all three qualities in her performance Saturday.
Mimi brings out the innate generosity of feeling that has long been among the secrets of Freni's success. This was a more self-assured, less demure, less vulnerable heroine than most. Surrounded by an international cast, most of whom are considerably younger, Freni reminded us that old-fashioned star-presence is what keeps audiences coming back to old standbys like "La Boheme.
Still, there is no use pretending Freni at 62 is as vocally fresh or persuasive as before.
From La Bohème: Donde Lieta Usci (Mimi's Farewell)
The tone has hardened and turns unsteady under pressure and there is an want of bloom to the sound. Overall, she lavished her most touching singing on Acts 3 and 4, where her expressive intensity found the pathos in the dying Mimi's music, especially "Donde lieta usci" and the farewell duet with Vincenzo La Scola's Rodolfo.
She was generously applauded at every turn, which is entirely her due at this coda to a distinguished career.
