Erna Sack Vocal Range (B♭3 - C7)

Erna Sack
Vocal Type: Soprano Ultraleggero Coloratura.
Vocal range: Bb3 - C7 (3 octaves and 1 tone)
Erna Sack was a great german singer, and as a child her voice attracted attention both at school and in the church choir in which she sang.
She received her first break aged 30, when the wife of conductor Bruno Walter happened to hear her at one of her lessons and persuaded her husband, who was then the musical director at the Berlin State Opera, to audition her.
I'm sorry!!! At the end I wrote "Coloraura" and the right is "Coloratura".
Sorry for this!!!

[@arriek.1375]

Erna and Mado are queens

[@felixinacio]

Arrie's petty plus Yma

[@luisantoniocorzoramos5646]

Félix Inácio But Yma Sumac isn't singer opera. She's a singer folkloric peruvian. 😊

[@theosah2428]

And Ingeborg Hallstein

[@kaylamactavish8492]

Reminds me of snow white almost.

[@thebigeststarinsacto]

for coloratura sopranos its actually super head voice.

[@pekenjos]

Absolutely amazing! What a gift!

[@tarkanacar6342]

This type of voice can only come out of an electronic device today.

[@jorgemanuelcuelloastoquilc3298]

Erna Sack fue una Soprano Ligera de Tiple y Coloratura. Es realmente increíble escuchar notas tan sobreagudas desde C#6 hasta C7 con registro de silbido de grabaciones tan antiguas.

[@Emanuel9991000]

Awesome Erna Sack with his phenomenal voice. She, Edda Moser, Edita Gruberova and Mado Robin are unforgettable!

[@garymazzeo3490]

It' doesn't take a rocket science professor to see albert Maracheski is hooked on high notes.

[@amihalov]

A great voice to be enjoyed

[@JoanSutherlandFan]

A melhor naquilo que faz!!! Suas notas mesmo sendo baixas parecem ser muito altas!! Essa mulher tem esse poder.

[@sopranosfogatoacuto]

The interesting thing is that she started as a contralto. :)

[@Hhjhfu247]

Contraldo able to hit c7 in head voice

[@ladymichelle227]

She was a Ultraliggero soprano.

[@KajiVocals]

Emotions C7 They meant she started off singing AS a contralto. And that C7 is whistle actually.

[@robertemannuel]

O video está realmente muito bom, você não poderia ter feito escolha melhor. Erna foi uma das grandes cantoras que o mundo já teve e, sua atuação no musica classica, permitiu-a se tornar um dos maiores icones desse meio. Alem do mais, ela foi uma das primeiras cantoras a utilizar nas notas acima do C6 em algumas canções que interpretou. E você explorou muito bem isso, escolhendo arquivos que demonstrassem de maneira plena os talentos desse rouxinol :) Parabêns! :Jin Rain

[@joaovitorschuina7221]

desde quando ela começa usar voz de cabeça pq as notas agudas de um ultraleggero soa doce com um som de flauta na voz natural.

[@pablopinto1873]

Do G5 em diante ela segue com voz de cabeça, em outras notas anteriores ela usa voz mix, mas com prevalência da voz de cabeça.

[@FranciscoFerrerGaliana1930]

MAGNIFICA VOZ

[@emanx222]

That run from 3:43 was CLEAN!!!!

[@jeanetterockstroh3003]

she was beautiful

[@dilarahassanova8423]

Very Goddess.

[@JohnSmith-td7hd]

It would have been great if she was available at the time of the filming of The Fifth Element, so that she could have played a very suped-up version of the blue alien singer.

[@gloomysunday8242]

She would not have the low notes

[@WilConquer]

And to think she started off as a Contralto.

[@duochannel256]

+Will 2 she started as an alto not contralto lol

[@duochannel256]

+Will 2 she started as an alto not contralto lol

[@duochannel256]

+Will 2 she started as an alto not contralto lol

[@marcmclemore871]

+Trio Channel contralto is the correct term. alto is on used in chorales and ensembles which mezzo soprano and contralto sing in alto but alto is not a term to describe someone's voice just a part sung in a group or choir.

[@rowantucker7010]

Wait what?

[@MayraKunie]

Awesome :')

[@maracheski]

Yes, she doesn't have a good resonance in low notes, only at the highest range. A true soprano, right? :)

[@fabriciogarcia7352]

What's the name of the song at 3:17?

[@KajiVocals]

True Music That’s false.

[@partenongriego]

Desculpe, mas eu ouço gama mais vocal Erna Sack, acho que a ponta afiada de Mado Robin, eu faço Erna atingiu um C7, ou ser surdo, mas eu não, eu comparar os dois vídeos e acho que Mado aguda em Erna.

[@CH-tj2ru]

Is the C7 whistle register or super head voice?

[@Launcher-x9754]

C H whistle

[@KajiVocals]

Whistle.

[@CH-tj2ru]

ohhh hhh bruh im so embarrassed I even asked that 7 years ago now that I know more about the voice and opera ahahhaha whistle def doesn’t exist in opera

[@tongsuan6746]

Soprano

[@aduhaduh4426]

Yes

[@nickreply8360]

Bb3 as lowest note ?

[@yolanijimmy5689]

A3 is her lowest

[@zazuka]

That was a Bb4, not 3.

[@latinfreestylesoulvinyl7151]

+zazuka it's a Bb3 depending on which notation is used. In another notation, it could be a Bb4 if you're counting octaves starting at A, but for the most part, mostly everyone uses the one that starts at C.

[@Rudipolt]

Aloha

[@ste.b.7400]

the higher the louder! best whistler ever, my favorite one! then on my list I put Yma Sumac and Mado Robin, then Mariah Carey

[@Marcusrafaelfet]

The only user of whistle register there is Mariah Carey. Yma, Mado and Erna are either using Head voice or Super Head Voice

[@felixinacio]

Marcus Rafael Ferracin wtf are u talking about? Adam Lopez, Georgia Brown, Ariana Grande and many other singers use whistle! Lol

[@ri260]

@@Marcusrafaelfet they use head voice and flageolet Mariah use HV too but rarely and not that developed she mostly uses her whistle

[@silvawittfeld9763]

nobody ever or anywhere explains, why she left germany before the war....nobody speaks about the reasons...her relationsship to the nazis a.s.o....would be so interesting to know. what a pitty, that probably all contempory-witnesses are dead...i also didnt find any! scientific-work about e. sack....not even a doctoral-study, dissertation or sth. like it. but must admit, i am not sure about how to search really systematically. thankful for any help!

[@maracheski]

Head voice.

[@anivardanyan]

Ingeborg Hallstein is still the best! ^_^

[@luananderson4256]

yes

[@adrianneji1234]

why u say that

[@adrianneji1234]

nvm

[@duochannel256]

Why can't we just appreciate the two ? Both of them are THE BOMB !!!!!!!!!!

[@nocturnal.visions]

no...mado robin is the best in my opinion

[@unclelouie3828]

What are you trying to do here? Choppy. Choppy. Choppy. Impossible to listen to.

[@Adarlambion]

Nice singing and very high pitched voice, but weak volume and lack of sustained SINGING in the very high notes, unlike Mado Robin. Robin had her own defects, but her high notes were totally unapproachable.

[@theimaginarynumber]

There was no C7. Fraud.

[@nakiarobinson23]

your comment made my day! lol!

[@gustavotbf]

theimaginarynumber yes stacatti in the end you can hear C7-Bb6-C7-Bb6-C7-Bb6

[@yolanijimmy5689]

Besides this video she has many other C7's

[@MrEnklave]

Jesus fucking christ...8 minutes of screaming. People are listening this voluntarily?

[@felixinacio]

MrEnklave stop comment things you don't have any idea that you are talking about! Btw, wtf are u doing here? Lmal

[@robertmonthe9750]

Weak low notes

[@ethana.8653]

Quite a weak voice, and lacking in the precision I would generally expect of an operatic singer who was considered a coloratura. Also, the whistle register break is lacking in seamlessness that I would again expect (that first F#6 clip makes it really obvious with the register switch). Honestly, I would expect much better from a name that's this renowned.

[@Fbalino]

I think her vocal ability is magnificent. Her ability to sustain high notes softly is unlike anything I've seen. Perhaps it sounds weak to you because of the older recordings? Erna would masterfully hit notes without even slightly deviating from pitch. Something I sometimes don't see in modern opera singers (not that they lack ANY talent whatsoever!). Also, her Voices of Spring introduction is unmatched.

[@AtlanticGiantPumpkin]

The reason her whistle tone sounds soft is because that's the thing about whistle tone. To be able to have one and sing very loud and supported (or to even have one at all) is extremely rare. The point of the whistle tone in general is that it is so high that people can sing it, but it's in a part of the voice that can only make this sound like a chipmunk or whistle sound.

[@peace-now]

+Ethan A. Better than Adele!

[@MartyMusic777]

+SugarTomAppleRoger haha. Funny, but obviously true.

[@michaelcaliplip8908]

Erna sack have a wide range.....if your operatic singer you'll that
