[MrGer2295]

ADA SARI (29 June 1886 - 12 July 1968) was a Polish opera singer, actress, and educator. One of the leading coloratura sopranos of her generation, she possessed a large, resonant voice with a clear timbre.

BEAUTIFUL VOICE!!! Thank you for sharing this video.

The voice is beautifully integrated from top to bottom. Her middle range is beautiful. The top notes do not sound as if they were separated from the rest of the voice. I think that she is a wonderful singer. I've never heard of her until I watched this video. Thanks for posting.

[jurek46pink]

@altanotte

Thank you.

There are two more Sari's records from my collection, here on my channel.

Greetings !

[apnixlover900]

Details in the video - at 0:13 !

Title both in Polish and original - in German.

[gmmix]

What a gorgeous voice which Sari exercises with great finesse, charm, and intelligence. How on earth did I miss hearing this treasure before today! Thank you for this great recording.

[jaychristy01]

all i can say is WOW awsome simply awsome

[gordiam]

during the first years of '900 women were so nice! beautiful and perfect sweet faces with no makeup, long hair to the ground and angelic voice.. what do we have now?

[GhostofaSiren]

Exquisite! Her voice just floats with ease! <3

[saltburner2]

A name unfamiliar to me - but a voice quite similar to Miliza Korjus and Erna Sack.

Beautiful transfer, Jerzy! Thanks

[Angle7587]

see this a voice ppl back than took sining to heart now its all about image

[whizbang47]

What a splendid recording! What an ineffible example of what a soprano voice can do!

Thank you so much for the historical notes, too, Jurek. Never feel you are giving us too much detail. You give us glimpses of a world of art hidden from us outsiders by walls of commercial noise. You get a bravo for this, brother.

[calsie0]

@_@ this was so amazing..

I love it.

[796824]

This EXAMPLE of SINGING, is NON-EXISTENT TODAY where the SOPRANOS and MEZZOS DISTORT the tone with HOOTY, THROATY "GENERIC" BELLOWING

[Feodulova]

!!!!!! Очень технично!!! Точная фразировка! Bravo!!!

[CurzonRoad]

Exceptionally nice..... THANK YOU!

[martine0987]

Sooo talented

[MileyCyrus6171]

to mama mojej prababcia czyli moja praprababcia słyszałam że była bardzo zdolna

[CheshireLove]

What a gem! I've never heard a voice like hers before and sadly I'm afraid I never will.

[jurek46pink]

So pleased...-

[tkguy30]

NICE

[oemstation]

Bardzo dziękuję za umieszczenie tego materiału na Tubie. Słyszę to po raz pierwszy. Cudowne!!!!!

[jurek46pink]

Jeszcze się tu u mnie pojawi.

Tak śpiewała moja prababcia. Bo to moja prababcia była. Maciej Szayer Warszawa.

[chrizosthemis]

Mamy się zgłaszać do Pana po autografy?

[dodi132]

This is WONDERFUL!!!!!

[Sarayax8]

Wspaniala spiewaczka. Mam jej plyty

[796824]

THIS is what coloraturas SHOULD emulate but there is NO one who can do this because they are to taught to bellow rather than sing with spontaneous ease

[ronfast]

@796824 Kathleen battle...

[otazay]

What a rare gem! And a crystal clear recording, considering its age.

[Phaidra69]

if , in our days, we had more educators as Ada Sari ,surely we would also have more good trained singers and of course much more interesting productions of opera !!!

[AriaDivina]

Phaidra69, you're right, BUT we also need to throw out those foolish stage directors! They think everything needs to be "modernized" and they destroy beautiful operas with their stupid 'cutting-edge" vision of what THEY want to see, not caring that these librettos DON'T translate well to modern eras AND not caring who they offend-they forget sometimes there are children in the audience, some people ARE sensitive, many don't care to have their senses assaulted by these stupid stagings. Ah well...

[calsie0]

@Phaidra69

Agree. That was really rare to see our days ppl to sing like this.

[GosiaGemma]

Co za talent!

Już dawno nie słyszałam tak wspaniałego głosu.

Bravo!

[Kamiol89]

pani Ada jest nasza:) zadna tam Turczynka:)..100% Polki:-) ale cudowny glos:)..mozna sluchac godzinami

[ebriga]

she's beautiful!!!

[796824]

If only "ONE" SINGER could match the "spontaneous,"clear singing exemplified by Ada Sari instead of the hooty, throaty bellowing common to coloraturas heard today

[parlophonman]

Very, very, beautiful Jurek !

And the sound is really PERFECT !

[dalferr]

Brava!!!

[ipekavenk]

Yes her name sound turkish,May be half polish and half turkish???????????????

[horntail8]

I agree

[makkuna]

no - she's Polish - she has changed her name from Jadwiga Szayer, to Ada Sari.

[ipekavenk]

It is strange that she chose a name who's sound is Turkish.Because Ada means island and Sari means yellow.Yellow Island!!!

[AkmePoland]

she was a 100% polish :P !! look at wikipedia "Jadwiga Szayer" = Ada Sari

[Heraopera]

My grandmother has been a big fan of her .... I love her too. In this times this kind of sopranos have been able to sing with colors not to go to fast in bigger repertoires! They sung with timbre and elegance (the coloraturas have been correct in attack) and a feminine kindness to regard our ears! BRAAAAAVA! Thanks for posting

[geraldineamercuri]

Que agradable, me recuerda a mis clases de música de la secundaria, y esa foto a mis amigas

[nathaliedelane]

Ponadczasowy talent.

Mam całą płytę wraz z tym utworem. Bajka!

[7inga7]

How lovely!!!!

[littlextraordinare]

perfect

[fokoreet]

Jadwiga Schayer, she was Polish singer

[jurek46pink]

dziękuję; znacznie więcej jest w moim komentarzu - kliknąć po prawej stronie...;)

[LLehmannfan]

Great rendition of this difficult waltz by Johann Strauß II.

And the diction of her German is near to perfection...

[Qkmera]

Perfeita!

[paminaase]

Ada Sarı ?

That sounds so Turkish !

[strangerinthelight]

beautiful...

[parlophonman]

Beautiful voice,Beautiful Photo!

[kspm01]

Brilliantly fresh and sparkling performance, apparently flowing without any effort at all.

[meltzerboy]

Sari's voice exudes lightness, charm, and warmth.  She is indeed an ideal interpreter of Johann Strauss songs, comparable to singers such as Selma Kurz, Maria Ivogun, Frieda Hempel, and Rita Streich.

On a par with Tetrazzini's great recording of the song and more charming.

[genia106]

Wonderful! Here is the undeniable proof that Polish women are the most beautiful :) and have the most exquisite voices as is evidenced by this outstanding presentation. Dziekuje.

[jurek46pink]

I aggree, accept and confirm...;)

[julia59]

Kocham Jej głos! Mam tę płytę; na czym polegał ten obłąkańczy mastering lat 70?

[jurek46pink]

Na przykład, do nagrań dokonanych systemem akustycznym (tych bez mikrofonu, np. Carusa) dodawano...pogłos-echo.

Tak spaskudzone jest nagranie Sari z 'Lakme'.

Dzisiaj - per analogia - klimatyzację często stosuje się na full i wtedy jak w ogóle nie jest potrzebna...:)

[julia59]

No cóż, szaleńców nie brakuje :-) Dzięki za wytłumaczenie. I jeszcze raz za ten clip!

[gmmix]

This posting represents an invaluable contribution to the YouTube treasury of great voices of the past. Sari's rendition of Fruhlingsstimmen is, with a doubt, one of the finest I've EVER heard. There's a real sweetness in her voice. Thank you for this video. FIVE STARS....worth six if I could do it!

[rupepill]

A very charming performance. Thank you very much for posting this further example of Sari's voice. How puzzling it is that an artist of her calibre is not more generally heard. Perhaps the social and economic upheavals in Europe had something to do with that circumstance. The fine work that you and your posting colleagues do in bringing Sari and other artists again to general attention via YouTube is most admirable.

[jurek46pink]

"social and economic upheavals in Europe had something to do with that circumstance". Yes, I would add  - political, too: 40 years of frozen after-war relations had their impact, too. See the case of our great composer, Karol Szymanowski, generally unknown.

Thank you.

[Katamanteuomos]

Wielkie dzięki za to nagranie. Nareszcie słyszę wyraźnie, że w istocie była mistrzynią. Piękny, bardzo plastyczny, charakterystyczny w swojej czystości głos- gdyby dzisiaj były takie śpiewaczki... Adę Sari słuchałem przy okropnej jakości dźwięku. Ciekawe jak śpiewała te dwie arie z Czarodziejskiego fletu..

[jurek46pink]

Śpiewała czarownie; niestety obłąkańczy "mastering" lat 70. zepsuł co tylko się dało. Bardzo to mnie wstrzymuje przed prezentacją. A tu akurat nie mam oryginału. Oryginał pojawi się wkrótce i nie mniejszej krasy, choć inny...

[dereczynski]

Purity and warmth combined.My aunt Esther was said to have a promising voice.She perished without trace somewhere massgraves of Nazi-occupiedPoland

[jurek46pink]

Ashes, the memory of which we should treasure. I do.

[DonAnzalone]

Amazing interpretation of the Frühlingsstimmen-Waltzer.

The audio quality is remarkably good for a 20´s

recording. Thanks for posting.

[AZpugs]

That was so beautiful!
