Christine Schäfer, Simon Keenlyside and Marcelo Àlvarez excelled in famous arias and scenes from Mozart, Verdi and Tchaikovsky, and were joined by Primadonna assoluta Mirella Freni.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• The singers impressed not only through vocal splendour, but also by their dramatic versatility. Christine Schäfer perfectly conveyed the subtle differences between the genuine desire of Gilda in Verdi’s Rigoletto and the doubting affection of Zerlina in Don Giovanni. Marcelo Àlvarez as the Duke in Rigoletto pursues his conquests with a gentle, but no less insidious seductiveness. Simon Keenlyside portrays a Don Giovanni who constantly changes between charm and lasciviousness.\u003cbr\u003e• A highlight of this evening was the appearance of Mirella Freni, whose connection with the Berliner Philharmoniker goes back to 1972. She performed the letter scene from Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin as a miniature drama in which doubt, determination and unconditional love struggle for supremacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBerliner Philharmoniker ∙ Claudio Abbado conductor\u003cbr\u003eMirella Freni soprano ∙ Christine Schäfer soprano\u003cbr\u003eMarcelo Alvarez tenor ∙ Simon Keenlyside baritone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew Year's Eve Concert 1998 - Songs of Love and Desire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWolfgang Amadeus Mozart\u003cbr\u003eLe nozze di Figaro\u003cbr\u003eOverture 4:45\u003cbr\u003e\"Deh vieni, non tardar, o gioia bella\" 4:25\u003cbr\u003eDon Giovanni\u003cbr\u003e\"Deh, vieni alla finestra\" 2:27\u003cbr\u003eDie Zauberflöte\u003cbr\u003e\"Bei Männern welche Liebe fühlen\" 3:14\u003cbr\u003eDon Giovanni\u003cbr\u003e\"Fin ch'han dal vino\" 1:36\u003cbr\u003e\"La ci darem la mano\" 3:38\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeorges Bizet\u003cbr\u003eL'Arlésienne\u003cbr\u003eCarillon 4:23\u003cbr\u003eFarandole 4:00\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGioachino Rossini\u003cbr\u003eLa gazza ladra: Overture 9:42\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiuseppe Verdi\u003cbr\u003eRigoletto\u003cbr\u003e\"È il soldell'anima - Addio sperenza ed anima\" 5:05\u003cbr\u003eCaro nome che il mio cor\" 2:05\u003cbr\u003e\"La donna è mobile\" 2:20\u003cbr\u003eUn ballo in maschera\u003cbr\u003e\"Eri tu che macchiavi quell'anima\" 4:54\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHector Berlioz\u003cbr\u003eLe Carnaval Romain 8:46\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePyotr.
