I remember I performed the voices of spring at the conservatory Easter concert exactly with the notes Erna Sack uses, and the same cadenzas and staccati, when I was about 13 years old. I could sing up to the highest E of the piano keyboard. Now I'm 18 and my highest note is 2 notes lower, it's the C that is 3,5 tones higher than the Queen of the Night Fs in the aria "der Hoelle Rache":)
Yma Sumac had as is known a bigger range of voice than Erna Sack and Miliza Korjus, so I doubt, that that are the "highest notes", although I think it's even so a amazing performance...
She's an opera singer.... and they usually rely on vocal gymnastics..the higher the vocals its more dramatic...as everybody knows opera's are usually story's that has a tragic endings...this recording is so old that its quite impressive as it sound....and I don't think there is anybody out there that sing the way she does....at least not that I know of.....Maria Callas probably comes close because she has that clarity when she sings but otherwise she is unbelievable ....Thanks for uploading!!!!
These high notes are very impressive. However, the quality and the actual timbre of these voices is not that great. I don't know if it's the recording but these voices sound weak, shrill and hollow to me. I think the whole voice suffers when pushed to such extremes. No one should sing above a high G#. It's just not healthy. I wish more emphasis was put a virtuosity and less on vocal pyrotechnics. It should be less "how high" and more "how well" you sing.
@MissMiasWorld This singer was a different place in time. I Think 1920's Berlin mindset when I am listening to this, not les Mis in 1990's Toronto. Seneca the younger said something to the effect of all art being a replication of something found in nature, this piece brings that. But art is art, if not your cuppa, ah well denn, jah?
si tienen bien impostada la voz no tendrian que lastimarse ,pero tampoco puede sonar muy fuerte y gordo la voz en notas tan finas, obvio suena asi ligerito y mas o menos fragil
@MissMiasWorld With poor recording techniques of that time, they were heard: you must imagine any of them by your side at this very moment shooting the highest notes of them ...! I presume that would blow the glass from which you're drinking ... cheers...Just as there are virtuosos on the piano or violin, or other instruments, the voice is also a tool to express feelings ... A person can take their skills to the fullest, if he /she want to do ...
@MissMiasWorld this recording is awful. Erna singing Fruhlingsstimmen is amazing and there is no stress in the voice at all this recording though sounds like she does.
@MissMiasWorld actually, in nature, the higher the tone, the weaker, shriller and hollower it becomes. That's not a question of talent, it is a question of physics. I think you're just jealous, calling it not healthy. Oh well.
@MissMiasWorld well i think if u can sing high and u have a nice voice why not,LOL i have 5 octaves g2-d8 and my voice is soft and light. i just go signed to columbia so u will hear from me soon on tv etc.... but yea its the aduio thats messing up this supreme vocalist amazing voice!!!
This is one of my life goals: to sing as high as Erna Sack. Could anyone tell me the highest note she sang? my highest note is the C that is an octave below the piano's highest C. It's actually really easy to sing after a couple or maybe three years of singing. Of course, i've been singing for like, ten years. Before that I was an infant and I cried. Duh. Did anybody know that babies use the same muscle for crying that opera singers use for singing? Haha.
@LIttleColonialDolly Yes, I CAN believe that babies use the same muscles to cry as opera singers use to sing: there's a baby next door who hasn't stopped practising for weeks now
I don't know what her highest note she ever sang was, but I read in a biography of her that she was able to sing the G above High C with virtually no effort. So to sing like Erna Sack, you not only need the ability to sing very high notes rangewise but also need to have a very high tessitura as well.
Bueno bueno Mado Robin, Erna Sack e Ima.c Sumac has tenido sobre agudos increibles, la unica diferencia es que Imac Sumac tenia 6 octavas de voz, podia cantar como un baritono pasando por todos los otros registros hasta una soprano ligera de extrema agudeza. Una anecdota interesante, la potencia de la voz era tal que en Rusia, le buscaron el microfono supuestamente escondido cerca de los senos, y no lo encontraron... ella se molesto y los castigo, no fue 10 años a Rusia.
OH MY GOSH!!! I was just plastered against the wall as soon as this started playing. How can any human do that!? I have honestly never heard ANYTHING so incredible.
mado robin wonderful singer with impeccable technique, sack is just scratchy and screechy. also i have only heard her sing Bb over high C so im not sure about how easily they could hit C over high C altho mado could do it with beauty if anyone could.
the first time i hear her voice im totally amazed... im from the philippines and there's no filipino or filipina cant sing like mado robin... mado robin is my favorite coloratura soprano singer...
and my favorite singer in the world is regine velasquez because of her effortless belting power in live music i like her lung power she can belt highnotes effortless...
Not true. Lily Pons was diminutive and possesed a voice richer than Sack´s. I keep on saying that she used flagiolet register. Change of quality in super high notes is clear. Robin´s register changes are much better. Top notes sound real to me.
pues si, hay muchos testimonios que en sus conciertos, yma sumac alcanzo agudos muy elevados. lo asomboroso de estas sopranos es que no usaron el falsete para llegar a estas notas, como hacen muchas cantantes de hoy.
Muchas veces he escuchado CHUNCHO, y tambien he ecuchado el ardon glinsenci, y el spargui d'amaro pianto con Mado Robin, y aunque lo que hace Yma es admirable, pues nadie ha hecho el sonido de dos pajaros a la vez, NO llega al tono final que da Mado, aunque muchos digan que si, se necesita estar sordo o ser muy desafinado para no darse cuenta, me explico, cuestion de oido.
Bueno seria como ponerse con Sanson a las patadas de mi parte, Yo solo soy integrande de un coro clasico donde cantamos a 4 voces y se un poco de solfeo, no soy profesional, mi voz es de tenor y seria aventurado decir que soy ligero o dramatico, no lo se, no me he metido de lleno en eso, pero si puedo escuchar y decir, que, por mas que escucho Chuncho, no encuentro en Yma el Agudo de Mado, y no se eso de Bdb, C, y esas cosas americanas de musica.
Que Dios te bendiga donde quiera que estes Mado Robin, fuiste, eres y seras el eterno ruiseñor, desde Stockholm un cubano que te admira eternamente, aun despues de tu muerte.
It's not that she sang head voice, it's just that her voice was light. Voice has its own texture like some people have big bones and others very small ones. Just look at what they looked like. A violin has a thiner sound than a cello.
Someone commented about Mado Robin's technique saying she doesn't have a pleasing vocal tone. A few things we should remember is the Robin died well before her prime which is sad. And although her voice doesn't have the aesthetic that people have grown accustomed to, her voice functioned in a very healthy manner and had a flexibility superior to many. Try listening to her recordings of Heinrich Proch's music. Most singers only dream of doing what she can with her voice in those pieces.
A friend view, we see, the two sing beautiful, I in particular what I like most Mado Robi, so you can tell, there was something I would like to see the Mexican Angel Peralta, who was regarded in the world as "The Ruiseñor Mexican, "his visit biobrafía, you will note that perhaps was much higher than these singers.
Heres how i feel about these two women, they were relatively good singers, but the only reason they had careers is because of their inhuman ranges. Mado Robin in particular does not have a particularly pleasing vocal tone, and the rest of her range has no body and core to the sound at all, but she does have a high Bb. Erna Sack is a bit better in terms of sounds and core, but if you listen to some of her recordings, shes notoriously very inconsistent with pitch, the high Ab in this start flat.
The only reason ANY singer has a career is becuase of something about their voice. All coloraturas who have great high notes have that same distinction. Robin also has a huge voice and it gets bigger the higher she goes - unlike any other double-C singer. That is why she is famous. Her voice was so big that she talks about not being able to really do a trill and needs to sing slower than most. I find her voice pleasing - so remember - your comment is only your opinion - NOT FACT - except to you.
Miss Erna Sack is better as Mado robin Erna has better Coloratura She is the best Coloratura Soprano she is Lyric Coloratura Soprano and i believe her Higherst Note is C7.
I remember hearing Erna Sack when I was a child. My father had the record. He collected opera LP's. He kept them in a hard see through cover. When he passed on, he left his collection and all his opera knowledge to me. I still have this record and is in mint condition. Her story is a great one. Believe it or not she started out as a mezzo!
oh wow... my god...mariah is so not da best at whistling who ever says dat will look lyk a fool mariah tries 2 impress us wit how high she can go but she forgets 2 show her whole range...lyk these ladies yu noe how they sound like from G5 to C7 but miss mariah you only hear her belt her head off from C5 to A5 and then she whistles between G6 to C7
no mariah can belt till a G#5 and Whisle Until G#5 and why everyone always talks about mariah? jus leave her alone damn that Gurl is an phenomenon whether u like it or not.
I don't agree with you. i think mariah is not phenomenal because she is not doing anything unique. She has just been popular throughout parts of her career.
Her voice is a phenomenal gift.. that is not arguable im not only refering to having 5 octave range (which is extremly rare) but to be able to shift the different octaves of her voice so effortlessly (i know that doesnt happen that way anymore). She is a unique talent, even tho she did not go for opera.
@iceroby72 Mariah Carey is a pop singer, she made concerts all over the world for over 10 years.. getting awards and world record for the high note in "the star spangled banner. Sack and Robin are Opera singers, I mean.. a different career doesnt make a woman voice better than an other. We're here supposed to enjoy, not to criticize someone who's not even showed in this video. This is opera.
@gordiam thank you! Exactly! I go to these opera videos every now and then and run into disturbed opera enthusiasts who criticize and dismiss the entire music industry outside of opera and basically say that opera is the only meaningful genre and the others are trash which is beyond nonsense. Sometimes, people should just enjoy the music and stop going crazy
Now that's how whistling ought to be done strong and clear and not clouded with air like the Mariah and Chante of today. Thankfully at least Shanice is doing it correctly.
Sorry, but when I speak of whistle, I am not speaking of the method, I am speaking of the note above E6. I know that classically trained singers are trained to use head voice and Shanice mostly uses head voice to create her high notes too and that's why these notes are stronger and richer in texture than Mariah who uses what can be referred to as the false cord which is why her tone is airy. Any vocal coach doesn not consider a breathy tone healthy.
Superb.TY for sharing.

She is a unique talent, even tho she did not go for opera.

@iceroby72 Mariah Carey is a pop singer, she made concerts all over the world for over 10 years.. getting awards and world record for the high note in "the star spangled banner. Sack and Robin are Opera singers, I mean.. a different career doesnt make a woman voice better than an other. We're here supposed to enjoy, not to criticize someone who's not even showed in this video. This is opera.

@gordiam thank you! Exactly! I go to these opera videos every now and then and run into disturbed opera enthusiasts who criticize and dismiss the entire music industry outside of opera and basically say that opera is the only meaningful genre and the others are trash which is beyond nonsense. Sometimes, people should just enjoy the music and stop going crazy

Now that's how whistling ought to be done strong and clear and not clouded with air like the Mariah and Chante of today. Thankfully at least Shanice is doing it correctly.

This is not whistle though, is head voice extension, whistle is just a disconnected process.

this is not whislte..

Sorry, but when I speak of whistle, I am not speaking of the method, I am speaking of the note above E6. I know that classically trained singers are trained to use head voice and Shanice mostly uses head voice to create her high notes too and that's why these notes are stronger and richer in texture than Mariah who uses what can be referred to as the false cord which is why her tone is airy. Any vocal coach doesn not consider a breathy tone healthy.
