I have this arrangement of Ave Maria in my countertenor rep. Isn't it just lovely.

@nddlj Generally speaking, a soprano will be able to hit higher notes than a contralto. There are different types of sopranos, ranging from coloratura (really-really high pitched voice: very light and flute-like) to mezzo-soprano, which is lower and fuller. This type of voice is more suited to Wagnerian-type music: full of power. Now, we have Eula Beale. Her voice is a true contralto. It is lower still: almost like a male tenor's voice. Powerful, low and strong, but perfect pitch and beautiful!

No. Look for her version of "None but the Lonely Heart." It should be in the list of recommended videos. She's a contralto.

Can someone please explain to me the difference between contralto and soprano?
(Not trying to say that I don't hear a difference. I just know that soprano is a high-pitch singer, but when I googled contralto, the singers also sing high notes so..?)
I'm really interested get a reply from a person who truly grasps the understanding of this type of singing... I don't want to just 'google' this answer.

A very fine contralto! Wonderful expression!

She really is the best contralto I have ever heard!

It's really telling that singers from the last century were on the whole better trained. It certainly shows in this woman's poise, power, phrasing, beauty of sound and breath control. She is an extraordinary contralto. It's a pity she did not go on in her career, but she made a choice that ultimately suited her, and that we have to accept.

Easily the best version of this Ave Maria that I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. Eula ranks up there favourably with the finest contraltos ever.
