French soprano sings what is perhaps the highest note ever sung on video, or audio, for that matter. It is a real high Bb OVER high C!! You won't be able to watch it only once!!
For someone to say that they can "hit" that note is one thing, but to SING it is another. Mado SINGS this Bflat so effortlessly, and so clear, without the pitch warbling.
First time I saw someone hit Bb6 without whistle register. It's really mind-blowing
She’s so controlled, makes singing with that amount of resonance and accuracy look easy. She’s a revolutionary singer
Actually the technique is not revolutionary at all. She followed the old Italian school teachings (known also as Bel canto), she worked hard and she's incredibly talented. There are people with that range still today that work as hard, but guess what's the difference: they don't follow the teachings of the old Italian school. Human anatomy hasn't changed, it's just that people teach some garbage "brrr" and "ng" and dog panting exercises, that have basically 0 efficacy. They don't even teach the basic 3 things: 1) proper deep natural breathing (not the belly moving abs workout stupidity that is teached nowadays) 2) proper body stance support (relaxing/hovering over your lower back while your chest is open) 3) proper mouth opening vertically using the entire jaw feeling it open under your ears, like in the video when Mado sings the high note (again not the forced smiling and shaping idiocy that's teached these days).
You can check these 3 things in videos of Pavarotti, Luigi Alva, Bonaldo Giaotti, Callas etc. You'll see they all have this technique. It's sad that nowadays there are fewer and fewer people taught the proper way. And their talent is usually wasted, since they can't reach their full potential, both in terms of range and voice brilliance.
Juan Diego Florez is one more recent singer I can think of, that has a proper technique, and you can hear the difference to his contemporaries! Especially on lighter voices it's much more apparent.
@@apostolis.diamantopoulos true, she’s bad
@@NikoPorter yeah cause that's what I said. Since you're clearly illiterate and can't read...
I don't care whether she 'whistles' or not. What I hear is an extremely agile voice with an incredible upper register. What strikes me about her is the extremely rapid vibrato she has/uses - I think it is typical of the period she was singing in. Others with much more knowledge than I are welcome to comment. I always like to learn more.
+Ole Nielson No whistle, it is a legitimate tone at its (so very high) place. If interested, listen to Erna Sach or Yma Sumac, too, only those could go up there (Erna Sach to C, Yma Sumac to #C). You seem to have common sense, some others commenting seem to have no clue of what they are talking about.
You seem to have no clue what you are talking about because the sharp sign goes after the note. So Yma Sumac sang a high C#7 in "Chuncho." I'd say when criticizing others, don't be wrong yourself.

@Lacey Franklin No, she is not whistling, nor is Erna Sack whistling while hitting C7. They reach it with their head voices. Whistle is a rare technique not really used in opera, it comes from black singers in contemporary music and ofc popularized by Mariah Carey. The sound while whistling is very different, thinner, weaker but at the same time more piercing. Whistle can carry a vibrato (not produced in the same way as the vibrato in your full voice, though), Mariah Carey is testimony of this. It really is a beautiful sound if you have the proper skill and the musicality to blend it in the melody.
@Lacey Franklin Natalie is not whistling. You are mistaking flageolet by whistle. Flageolet is simply an opera term given for anything a soprano sings over E6 that has a bright sound. That is not a whistle, whistle is produced in a entirely different way and sounds different, not necesarily worse, it can sound clear btw (not breathy) and it will always sound smaller than head voice but that doesn't mean the sound is small by itself. You say "suck it Mariah" but, even if I'm but no means putting Mariah at the level of an opera singer, Mariah has crazy control of the whistle register and she is incredibly musical with it. Some vocal teachers say whistle is an "air trick" and they are kind of right but it doesn't mean you don't need an immense amount of skill to be able to actualy sing in whistle, since the usual is that you will be pitchy or your voice will entirely disappear. Whistle can give you access to notes you can't even dream of singing. For example I'm a baritone and I can reach G6 in whistle. If I were to try with my head voice, I would barely touch G5. That's how different the technique used is.
No whistle on this woman. That was beyond incredible. I'm just floored. Range is an understatement. She could sing to the moon!
AGREED 💯
Holy mother of Truck!Hearing this through earbuds is so thrilling, I'm trying to imagine the live sound. I bet I would have just frozen in my seat listening to this live.
She could easily shatter crystal glasses with a such high note.
MESMERIZED!
You don't need go to extreme high notes to break a crystal. You need the right note (i'm not sure, but i think is Eb6), with the right volume and right potence. :)
+Manoli S. There's a UA-cam video of a kid breaking a wine glass with his voice 😂
When she stepped back, I did fear for a moment for those glass chandeliers.
Victória Leopoldino Reminds me of Bianca Castafiore from Tintin shattering glass.
Good lord, I just tested the pitch and the vibrato actually brings the note out to B natural!
Wow
Actually, she could sing up to D7...
Operatic style vibrato tends to ossilate up and down around a half step, even close to a whole step if its really being belted. Your ear still perceives it as a Bb though, even if you start it at the peak of the sine wave. I tried to cheat that way when making a soundfont once, poor Pavarotti would have been greatly offended at how out of tune it made him sound, even though on the spectrogram/tuner it looked fine lol
no it definitely is a B natural. just straight up B natural @@andrewbloom7694
the applause at the end was pathetic. she deserved more than that!
I agree. The audience should have EXPLODED with appreciation of that performance. We don't hear this every day of our lives. Where is the appreciation?
This was in the 1900's people act very formal in operas.
and in the 2010's we go "WHOOOOOOOO!" compared to boring 1900's
Marc Jethro Lucero This clip is from the mid 1950s.
There were probably like 20 people in the audience. This was made for TV in the 1950s, it's not a concert in a large theatre.
She's the real life Snow White! Stratospheric notes without using whistle register!
That's because she is the REAL THING! Not to downgrade people with "The Whistle Register" but the whistle is an extra flap of skin tissue in the larynx that takes a people that aren't real sopranos, as well as a few that actually are/were (acknowledging some of the dearly departed, into a sound somewhat like what we just heard sung in one's natural soprano vocal range. It's (the whiste) is something you are born with and is not a form of falsetto.
sorry but not the whistle register can be used by anybody, it's just difficult because you need to have complete control and relaxation over the chords in order for them to be almost closed while producing sound.. hence the high pitch
@Forest Plum Like what? The whistle register use or those like me that call a real soprano a soprano
@Lacey Franklin You need to listen to more real music (Classical) and then afterwards, listen to some of this pop divas; perhaps then, you will be able to tell the difference. Listen to her volume; none of those whistle singers can sing with as much volume as they do with their regular singing voice. Mde. Robin's voice is just as high if note higher. If you can't, well there are those people... I also find it hard to believe you listen to Classical music and can't understand this.
@Lacey Franklin That's what I find so odd about you. I see what you have posted and can only say clueless.
She's like a real like Snow White! 😆 brilliant!
I expected birds to come flying toward her and all the animals of the forest to greet her.
@@thethrashpanda exactly! She's very Snow White like!
Oh my goodness that’s the perfect description!!!!!!!!
The woman who voiced Snow White was a trained opera singer
@@justwaiting5744 As was the voice of Aurora in Sleeping Beauty - Mary Costa. 💜
Notice how she steps back from the mic before the note..... total pro....
thats what you should always do when you know your going to be loud and its a high note...
* Moves away from the mic to breathe in
The great voice of MADO ROBIN ,I have in my collection most of here recordings and CDS that enjoy playing
great
Abraham Mihalovich what’s the title to this piece. I love it
@Josue Oliver
Trust me, a B above the soprano top C, sung with operatic quality and volume, is special, maybe even unique. This is something totally different to the tiny whistle sounds we hear people like Mariah doing, and if you can't see that you don't know much about singing. Most people if they can get that high, and only do so in whistle voice and with a microphone. There's a reason why Mado Robin is remembered as having had one of the most extraordinary high voices of all time. And the note had perfectly good vibrato and power, which is what is so incredible. If you have heard better notes at that pitch or higher sung classical style without a microphone please post us the links so we can be suitably amazed.
***** Minnie R's voice like dying dog ~no way~
Mariah's whistles can be powerful too. Plus if you have a natural whistle register like Mariah, it's healthier to hit the note in whistle than to try to extend your head voice to do it.
Go to Georgia Brown and see her 13 octave whistle note,she holds Guinness World records literally!But yes this operatic singer in this video is damn lucky to sing that high!😉
orlando098 why do you have to descredit Mariah in your arrogant argument, Mariah is powerful too !
Cesar Joel i don’t think they’re berating Mariah by saying whistle is “tiny” cuz generally, whistle is less powerful than head voice but can go higher. Just saying
To even get that vibrato at such high notes is amazing!!! 🙌🏼
Gorgeous control and musicality. The final high note steals the show-- of course-- but her accuracy and articulation in the whole rest of the aria is wonderful as well.
And then she goes down to rest comfortably on a Eb. Insane!
INCREDIBLE. Anyone on here who pooh-poohs this or says it isn't beautifully sung doesn't know a thing they're talking about.
Not so impressive. I hit that same note just recently. Of course it took getting my fingers caught between the end of a conveyor belt and a metal roller to do it.
Thought this was going to be a rude bragging comment and I snorted at the end of it.
oh shit i cracked hahaha! i imagined the scene in my head jeez XD
This is hilarious
sehr gut!
LOL... cute..
Mado Robin is the best!!! her 5th and 6th octave sounds majestic magnificent
its awe inspiring and mind blowing...listen to her recordings and live performances
Mado Robin vocal range
I love the confidence in her face. Like she knows she can hit the note with ease.
High notes gave me goosebumps. Damn that's good.
This makes me smile.
sopraltenass13 This is a normal reaction in most people. ;)
Well, my perfect pitch tells me she jumped from high C to one octave above, super high C...and effortlessly. I don't know her age here but in my forties, my top sustained note was a b flat above high C. This voice is amazing. No
"whistle" tone here. A perfect, full voice super high C. Glorious!
The way Mado Robin sings that note is INCREDIBLE!
she has so much control! and when she does the high notes she makes it look like she doesnt put that much effort! that one note is crazy! :)
Thanks Mado, I played this and my long lost dog came running home at last! Unbelievable. Well, actually, quite believable, I saw and heard it but truly amazing.
that's obviously fake
What's fake?
Mickey, It is not fake. Mado Robin was celebrated as the most perfect "soprano coloratura" of the 20th century. Her highest note is mentioned in the Guiness Book of Records.
Research then comment.
guiness record !!
I like her voice very much! Incredible high note.
The most beautiful aria of a live performance I’ve ever heard. 🖤 The Great Mado Robin!
we like to keep it on a high note
best rapper alive and i left this video on a good note. I'm in _high_ spirits
Rap isn't on pitch.
Ba dum tss
Gente! O que é isso!
😯😯😯😯
Que talento vocal é esse?!
Meu Deus!
Mado Robin, Maravilhosa!
Uma verdadeira LENDA!

She skys like nothing I've heard in my 50+ years of collecting records back to 1897. She makes Joseph Schmidt sound like a basso profundo. I've never heard a full voice note that high until now. And, she HOLDS it for how many seconds??? Fascinating!!!
2:45 when i am just peacefully playing games in my phone and a cockroach flies on my face
Purely incredible
And just think - that note was made with no microphone or editing...
If she didn't use a microphone, how do you think it was recorded?
+Sir Regan A wizard
+Sir Regan Perhaps I should elaborate, a microphone connected to a stereo system that amplifies sound, not a recording one.
You should just be able to make that assumption.
A microphone can't make a note higher, it's just a gadget that transforms sound-waves into electricity which is then amplified by...yes, an amplifier.
Edit: I believe the head is in use here, due the vibrato, which confers more power, 'ring'... Of course, we can not compare it with whistle (yes, it sounds like screams and the breath is also noticeable sometimes), because what really mattes is how much a note can be loud (in decibel), not the pitch (Hz). But I agree I was unhappy on my previous speech and also agree that use this register is very difficult and singers can "mold" the sound to create various possibilities (staccato, mimic instruments, birds, et al).
While Opera singers are leagues ahead of Mariah, Mariah doesn't scream.. You've obviously never heard her harmonize using her whistle register, mimicking instruments, doing fioratura and staccato runs etc with her whistle register.
Snob
You should listen to Mariah Carey's """screaming" she does extremely virtuoso things in that register.
M N
Nah I see him in basketball shorts, red cap, hoodie with a monster can in his hand
Vinicius Soaris You Sound Dumb asf. Mariah is immensely talented and her whistles end up sounding almost identical to the opera counterparts, they are not as sonorous of course but she is impeccable. So excuse Yourself
... So jealous of her vibrato....
Don't be. vibrato can ruin your voice
+Anna Baker
Nonsense, sorry. Vibrato never ruins your voice, because vibrato is just a product of what you do with your vocal apparatus and just a sign of good or bad vocal technique. If you use your muscles correctly, you get a normal, healthy, even vibrato. If you do it incorrectly, you get a too wide, too fast or absolutely no vibrato (all these three things are not healthy). So what will ruin your voice is wrong muscle tension (overly tense or not tense enough) in wrong places of your body (diaphragm, tongue, jaw etc). Vibrato itself doesn't ruin anything.
Think what you want to. My vocal coach and my choir directors all said that it can. Are you professional because I'm listening to professionals.
+Anna Baker Sometimes choir directors will tell you not to use vibrato to help with blending, but straight tone is actually more likely to hurt your voice than vibrato. Natural, relaxed vibrato is the maximally healthy thing for your voice. I just graduated with a music degree and actually lost my vocal performance emphasis my junior year because I was using too much straight tone. I figured out correct vibrato and earned my vocal performance emphasis back my senior year. The point is that lacking vibrato is considered a huge technique flaw among professionals to the point where they will crush your dreams over it.
+Anna Baker vibrato is a natural effect of open-throated, strain-free singing. Pop singers often use vibrato as a vocal effect, which may lead to bad habits. I often see famous r&b singers using their jaw to create vibrato. Also, being in a choir in the past I can tell you that teachers do tell their students to sing in a straight tone and even I have experienced how this can lead to bad habits. But going as far as to say that being in a choir will ruin your voice or that vibrato, a sign of free and relaxed singing, will ruin your voice isnt exactly true in my opinion.
amazing high note, utterly impressive.
I SING THIS SONG EVERY MORNING AT 6AM WHEN I GET UP TO START MY DAY THEN WAKE MY HUSBAND UP WITH THE LAST NOTE
My cat did a double take at the end
LOL!!!
Impressionante a leveza, a agilidade e a extensão dessa voz!!
ceci est une partie d'une émission de télé de l'époque présentée par J Joubert. Il n'empêche que cette voix est magnifique et que son étendue vocale n'a pas été égalée
Warning: Objects made of glass should be kept at least 20 feet away from speakers when playing this recording.
2:45...I couldn't breathe. I was literally GLUED to my chair, unable to move or speak. That was stunning.
Very very well done.
This deserves much more recognition.
Absolutely historically stunning!!!
Her face seems so cristalised, like a statue, when she reachs it, really impressive ... !
Absolutely amazing control
this opera singer mixed the head voice with the whistle register the technique is a different another thing .
the sound is a much fuller sound than just the whistle register & must be carried with a orchestra without a microphone.
My whistle is louder than my strong singing voice so I don't think you understand.
You can’t mix whistle with anything. It’s an entire register in itself. She, here, was using super head voice as they call it.
@@kyalucero7977 it's super head voice
What the fuck is this talk about whistle, this is no idle trickery.
@Imani Alexander Will some of you stop and think; Whistle Register is called just that because of a reason. Did you hear her last notes go down in volume? No...because she is an extremely high singing soprano with no "Whistle Register". Those with that sound are regular recording artist whether they trained in classical or not.
Very smooth and ease with my ears
Mariah highest notes are "whistle notes", not sung-completety different way of projection. I think her highest head notes were something around D6, so it is still a long way up to Bb6. There is also no way they could be heard over an orchestra without a microphone. It is said, that Mado sung also a D7 in concert in Vichy, unfortunatelly we don't have a recording.
Lmao!
Mariah Carey’s head voice AND falsetto range goes up to A#6 and there’s videos on here to prove it.
Mariah is no stranger to a healthy technique, because she was raised by an opera singer.
Mariah is unparalleled in resonance in every register when compared to who’s young and famous today.
@@mrbigbigtoe Falsetto for a lady in Classical... Stop while your ahead. Oh, wait. A few people that love classical singing have read what you type. Too late!
@@mrbigbigtoe Wrong, she said that she was not interested in the opera, she did not give much importance to the opera and the head voice, she managed to reach an F # 6 for a few seconds, besides that today she is a mezzo-soprano not a soprano, already That is why his head voice sounds heavy and slow. There is no evidence of an Ab6 in the lead voice, the highest note from her was an F#6.
@@Pachinanonim Mariah is a Soprano not a mezzo-soprano , what are you talking about Mariah has no resonance in the 6th octave , even though she doesn't have resonance in the 6th octave she's still a Soprano
@@majahandlovu8115 No, you did not understand my comment, in her best days she was a soprano, since she could sing her songs live without worries, nowadays she is a mezzo-soprano and she no longer arrives as before, her voice changed due to age and problems with her Voice that she had, indisputably and audibly, she is a mezzo, before she was a soprano, and I mean that her head voice is little worked since she does not sing opera, and is not interested in that, besides that she can go down to an F2 In a chest voice, before it only went up to a B2, she is a mezzo, people will never say that she is a mezzo (now a days).
Astounding! I have several cds by Robin but have never SEEN her until now. Quite a handsome woman and the high note seem so easy!
I love how most are bringing up *Mariah Carey;* some are doing it to applaud her and others are bringing her up to discredit her in some way. Either way it shows how influential she is and the legacy she has left behind in music 👏👏👏
¿Y eso que tiene que ver con el vídeo..?
the big ending aside, she has such a lovely color to her voice! it's so unique, i don't think i've ever heard another voice like that. it has this really simple, sweet charm to it, makes me think of snow white or any one of many golden age actresses' speaking voice
Mado Robin was definitely a Queen of the high register! Erna Sack was another...
wow i just recently discovered this great opera singer! i cant get enough of her!
that last note was crazy. madam mado robin's range was sensational!
Mitica Mado I do love any of your interpretation, an angel fallen from the heaven!!!
You're the experts...has anyone been able to do that since HER? It's utterly incomprehensible....
Soren Aleksander Not anyone yet has been able to
of course people have lol and not just classical singers.
of course people have silly, both in pop and classical music. Mariah Carey goes a lot higher and Marie-Sol Chevalier did a C7 for 5 seconds in her rendition of Ave Maria.
@Duo Channel : you're comparing the uncomparable : Mariah Carey uses the whistle register, while Mrs Robin sings in chest voice. First, whistle register is UNlawful in lyrical singing, and second the loud volume of Robin's high notes totally disqualifies whistle singing. Robin's loudest notes are exactly her highest notes, which is NEVER true for anyone using whistle singing. Mado Robin is precisely famous for that particular reason : being able to sing this high WITHOUT the whistle register.
I meant 'head voice', not 'chest voice'.
Oh my, she is so powerful and can reach and sing those notes with no apparent effort.
Brava. Nothing this exciting happens on the New York opera stage anymore. Where are the artists who take risks on stage for more applause. Instead big name singers cover or transpose notes down. Was it French spring water that made Mado so great? Check out Mady Mesple, another underappreciated French soprano.
I have to agree with you there. But seems they struggle with notes already written much less try to improvise beyond them.
GENIALISSIME !!!
she sounds like snow white
Wow this most be one of the hardest opera Songs too sing i know because i tried 😱🤗 she is truly amazing sad no one Alive today Songs like that
D’amor al dolce impero is ,maybe, the hardest for soprano.
THIS IS AMAZING!
That last note was out of the stratosphere It’s like if you don’t hit that note, the world will come to an end. That’s how I look at it. I’m all choked up right now 😢
Everyone else: wow she’s so amazing
:it’s so high
No one:
Absolutely no one:
No one ever:
Me: that’s not in English 👁👄👁
Her vibrato is insane
Rip headphone users.
Rachel Ní Fhearaigh it's okay :')
She was just fantastique and wonderfull artiste Edward Arckless ex Royal Oper Ballet Covent Garden London and conservatoire de Ville de Paris France
I've not listened to opera before but this is a really nice voice. Pure. I'm a Mariah fan but I was brought up on her. Not brought up on this. Stunning stuff to listen to.
She is so talent
Bb6 without whistle register
Damn that was an amazing Bb6🖤
Julie Andrews has hit F6 before... I wonder if she ever went higher
Since listening to this song I have just came to love Mado robin and this song. The high notes at the end, I tried and tried just guess practice doesn't perfect anything. If I had such God given talent Id throw it in to people's faces! Id be singing everywhere just throwing around my extraordinary range.........
Que perfeição! 😍 Alguém conseguiu superar essa mulher?
essa nota não sei, mas creio q pouquíssimas sopranos já alcançaram/alcançam.
Brilliant.
im not even joking but my speakers gave out. rip to them :(
You are right. It's impossible to only watch this once
The piece is Spargi D'amaro Pianto
Ok...that applause at the end was not loud enough. Her performance was mind blowing. Standing O!!!
2:44 ------------very amazing
It is a high B over high C with vibrato, not a high Bb.
So great!!
This aria is in E flat, thus a B flat. High sopranos use a third register above high C or D, here is a fourth register. The "passaggio" is around high G.
Absolutely fantastic! I'm just starting college and am seriously thinking about majoring in vocal performance. I would love to to be HALF as great as that! :D
With her voice and a large number of amplifiers the whole world supply of glass would shatter.
what's the name of this aria?

I think this was Spargi D'amaro Pianto from a Opera Lucia de Lamermoor?
She deserves more than 880k views!
Yes mariah can hit this note. What you all are not seeming to understand is that this is HEAD VOICE! Mado technically surpasses Mariah because she hits all the notes Mariah has done in HEAD VOICE. Whistle notes are not allowed in opera. So it's safe to say I'm scared of what notes Mado could hit if she ever tried to do whistle notes 0_0. Not hard to believe she could hit a D7 though.
motoko241 I had never thought of it :-o
Just phenomenal! It would've been awfully warm for Sopranos listening to that!
go gurl omg..
I adore the works by those with such ability. How one can sing this high is granted to those who know they will use it correctly. And she displays as one of those people.
Flute register😁🤗
unbelievable... remarkable woman.
Mado reaches this note using her modal register. So it means she's just using her head voice to reach this high. It's what you call super head voice.
Oh my goodness.
amazing voice ever!
If i have Edo Tensei,I will edo tensei her :v
thank you! these youtube ppl think they know so much when they only show how little they truely know about music and vocal's
2:44 Wow!
Thank you
Ur the goat
Yes, I know the whistle register is different. I sing in whistle register and am trained in operatic style. I just didn't understand his point is all. Mariah is an exceptionally gifted natural singer. Her mother was an opera singer, so I'm sure Mariah has nothing but respect for the genre. She is of course no opera singer. So, comparing the two is just odd to me. I dislike when people try and discredit her or take away from her talents.
I wish there was a recording of Mado hitting D7. :)
Wait why does my brain specifically knows how she smells

What ???
@@fan2jnrc I know how she smells, I can't describe it. Kinda like an old Russian grandma mixed with a red perfume
