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! Thanks for this wonderful memory.
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.
Thank you for sharing this! I ADORE Mado Robin and her out of this world voice! I watch everything I can on her :) Today is April 20, 2020 and I found your video :)
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.
What impresses me most about Erna Sack, and I consider her unparalleled in this respect, is her naturalness in emitting extremely high notes for a long time.
I read about mado robin and says she is the only soprano that no other has been able to imitate since their highs are amazing and impossible to imitate(wikipedia)
@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
Grandiosa Mado Robín!!! pero... y su agudo en Lucía Di Lammermoor???... se dice que su rango llegaba al Re7 incluso al Mi7, pero no existen registros, en esos años el libro de Records le dio el título de "La Voz Más Aguda Del Mundo"
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.
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":)
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
hahahahaahah what the voice is this?,,is this really exist (i guess) lol,they are phenomenal,legend,amazing,unbelievable,singers the have a rare vocal cords of human ever!!!they really sounds a dolphin and birds,,,AMAZING !!!!
I guess @tib1389 is a Mariah fan. And, by the way, so am I. He possibly thinks that Mariah should be a part of this comparison. Give him a break. Indeed, Mariah must not be compared to opera singers as she isn't one. Although, she has held loads of records throughout the years due to her wide vocal range and incredible tecnique and ability in singing in the whistle register. Well, I'm sure you already know that.
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.
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.
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.
En Chuncho Yma no canta solo un C7. Yma canta 6 notas, desde un C7 hasta un F6 gracias a su triple coloratura. Ella no se andaba o se conformaba con cantar una sola nota en la sétima octava. Te preguntarás cómo lo hacía, pues su vibra to lo extendía tanto que a través de su vibrato que por lo general varía una semanita, ella lo variaba a lo largo de 6 notas. Un prodigio.
+John Doe No it is not whistle tones, these tones sung here are much stronger than whistle tones. Opera singers have to sing with full tones and head tones supported with chest tones otherwise they will be out sounded of 100 piece orchestra and 80 piece choir.
@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!!!
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.
Listen to Ingeborg Hallstein...there's plenty of sfogati that have incredible tone and long careers. Mado sang high and joyous...but not the prettiest high notes.
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.
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.
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.
