Do you know a source for obtaining Haitinck's Mahler No 3 with
the Berlin Philharmonic, and Jard van Nes? I have had difficulty
obtaining a copy.
Thanks, Peter
Sorry Peter,
More than the Philips number, I can't give
you: Philips 432162-2
I even don't now of this release is still available.
Success, Joop

Sehr geehrter Herr Lindeijer,
mit großem Vergnügen lese und höre ich seit geraumer
Zeit in Ihren "Dutch Divas". Ich besitze drei CDs des
Hamburger Archivs für Gesanagskunst mit ausschließlich
holländischen Sängern/innen. Auf einer ist eine Aufname
aus Mendelssohns Elias "So ihr mich von ganzem Herzen suchet"
mit Evert Midema von 1927. Bei Ihnen ist ein Tenor Evert Miedema
aufgeführt. Ich nehme an, dass es
sich um den gleichen Sänger handelt. Können Sie dies
bestätigen oder gibt es tatsächlich beide?
Herzlichen Dank und mit freundlichen Grüßen
Egon Kaibel
Sehr geehrter Herr Kaibel,
Ich versuche es mall im deutsch zu antworden,
lesen und sprächen ist einfacher. Aber mein deutsch ist
vielleicht besser als Ihr holländisch!
Vielen Dank für die Komplimenten. Es handelt sich um den
gleichen Sänger Evert Miedema, nicht Midema. Ich weiss von
die genannte CDs. Der Webmaster hat mir/ mich schon gemailed
und ich hab mich die Listen angesehen von holländische Aufnahmen.
Auf meiner Website komm ich darauf zurück. Und Evert Miedema
wird in die Zukunft ausfühlicher behandelt, mehr Text und
Bilder.
freundlichen Grüßen,

Hi - you mention that the lowest note written for basses is a
B (two lines below the bass clef). This is not the case - in
Mahler's eighth symphony, there is a bottom B flat for the second
basses, a semitone lower. It's a few minutes from the end of
the second movement; at the "Chorus Mysticus" section,
"Alles Vergangliche, ist nur ein Gleichnis; das Unzulangliche,
hier wird's Ereignis", the bottom basses have low B flats
on the words "hier wird's Er".

I was very interested in the clips on the "High C"
page but I felt some was lacking on the low end of things. The
clip of Matti Salminen was very impressive, probably the best
low D I've heard out of an opera singer, but I'm also a big fan
of russian choral works. I have recordings of the contrabasses
going to a double low F, the F an octave below Sarastro's F.
The lowest notes, like the F I mentioned may not be of much musical
value, but I think you will find this soloist takes a low C with
ease. He also ventures to a double low G at the end, but it is
hard to hear as another bass is doubling it in the normal octave.

And here is another from the same performer as above, Yuri
Wichniakov of the Orthodox Singers Choir, with a foghorn of a
B flat lol.

Basso profondo soloist of the St. Petersburg Choir, Vladmir
Pasuikov, chanting down to a low G#.
http://www.angelfire.com/ct2/metaltabs/low_G1complete.mp3
You will also hear most of the basses going down to a low
B before he starts the chant.
Well I hope the clips were of some interest to you. The russian's
seem to be on the deeper side of the gene pool as far as voices
go :).

Hey I just write to correct some wrong information that seems
to have leaked you know? like the G#7 by Mariah Carey is actually
G#6...just one and a 2 notes above the F in "Queen of the
night aria" (counting F#, G and G#) however she has sang
G#7 in two live performances of her song "Emotions"
one live @ the MTV video music awards of 1992 and in the tv show
Arsenio Hall in 1993. Also Mariah has sang several C's above
soprano high C in different songs "Emotions", "Vision
of love", "Vanishing", "Bringin' on the heartbreak",
"Can't let go", etc...
Here I'm sending you some of her recordings or performances of
C's above high C...note the last one is C above soprano high
C and then she slips to E an octave above soprano high C all
very connected.
I'm also sending her recording of her G#7...if you've ever
seen the video online you can see the mic is at least 10 cm's
away from her mouth so it's not just a little squeak.

Dear Joop
I love your web-site!! :-) But I'm missing some other Dutch
singers: Some Info's about Truus Bording (soprano) and her son
Peter Bording (baritone). Her husband and his father was Jan
Handerson (on your website too)! And I'm missing Matthijs Coppens
.. Ok ok I'm not very objective - I love their voices - , but
this is the sense of an opera fanatic!
and ... I don't agree with you when you are writing about
Miranda van Kralingen. I've heard her in Berlin ad the Komsche
Oper. Gré Brouwenstijn is (was) better!
Best wishes from Berlin (Germany)
Christian
Dear Cristian,
Thanks for your compliments.
About Miranda: I never wrote that she sings better than Gré
Brouwenstijn! As I said, I heard Miranda several times live -
not in opera - and was impressed by her performances. Unfortunately
I was not in the possibility to hear Mirand singing Tosca, so
I can't compare the two sopranos in this role. Not comparing
in vocal quality in terms as, who is the best, the greatest,
but more in interpretation, presentation. But I agree completely
your point, Gré Brouwenstijn is one of the greatest Dutch
sopranos I ever heard - therefore 4 pages in Dutch as well as
in English [ ..... ] Truus Bording is new for me. Matthijs Coppens
I only know from some minor roles with the Nederlandse Opera.
So not on the list of top priority for me.
kind regards,

Hi, i'm a great fan of Mariah Carey, i can totally confirm the
fact that she DOESN' T USE computer effects for her voice, she
has a nearly five octave REAL range, during the Star Spangled
Banner she reached a B6, her highest note remains the famous
G7 in Emotions sung live at MTV Video Music Awards in 1992. The
register she uses is called whistle register and with it she
can reach stratospheric high notes. The attached file is from
a LIVE interview she did some time ago in which she shows a little
bit of her amazing range. Please correct the wrong information
on your site, she still has the record for the highest note produced
by a human being.
thanks

Thank you so much for the informational article on Christina
Deutekom. I remember her most fondly in "Lucia di Lammermoor"
at the Lyric Opera of Chicago in 1970 and "Norma" at
the Connecticut Opera Association in 1978. I just have been listening
to her recording of "I Lombardi" on Philips, and once
again am astounded at her vocal beauty and technical prowess.
I wondered what she was doing now. I wish that Philips would
release on CD those two aria albums. I can truly say, she has
one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard.
Thank you once more. Robert Bandelier (USA)

Joop,
I received this message today. Look who sent it! Ineke Schelland!
My tape had become so bad that I could not iron the wrinkles
out and I thought it to be hopeless. I kept trying to find information
to share with you about the recording. I cannot believe this.
I will get you a copy of this recording. Thanks for all your
help. I will keep in touch.

Hello,
I found your website in an attempt to gain information about
three singers, who I believe are Dutch, the Schelland sisters,
Ineke, Ria, and Ciska. Do you know of them? They perform on the
most wonderful recording of Mozart's Requiem that I have owned
for sometime. I'm hoping to locate the recording on CD, for my
tape will not last forever.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

Hallo Joop,
Enjoyed reading very much about the high-note sopranos. My favorite
has always been Mado Robin. In addition to her high register,
her voice also had an unusual "color", which made it
instantly recognizable. I do not think Mariah Carey deserves
to be mentioned in the same breath as these other fine coloraturas.
In fact, it is being reported that Mariah's high notes were artificially
produced by a vocal processor.
Tnx,
Johanus

I am very happy that a reference list of Aafje Heynis performances
does exist. However , let me mention that it is , by far , quite
partial:
What about Schubert , D 920 Standschen , accompanied by Felix
de Nobel ?
About Songs by Caplet and other french songs?
About Sea Slumber Song by Elgar ?
And others that Philips would be right to put on MP3 or CD!
Sincerely

I visited your wonderful website, www.dutchdivas.net today. I
read your excerpt on Mariah Carey in the section of the website
titled High C's. I have read on www.divalegacy.com that Mariah
Carey, in the song "All in your mind" on her début
album, hits an F above high F in a very high passage of staccati
near the song's end. Is this true?
28-07-2003,
Hi, your site is really clear and the way you explain the concept
of the vocal range is great. I loved the fact that you mentioned
Mariah, since so many people take her voice for granted. I´ve
read once in a fan's site that she had a 7-octave vocal range,
but all the other homepages and critics/reviewers say she has
a 5-octave range. I thought it was possible since she hits lower
notes then the sopranos, wich
makes her range larger... Maybe it's only about different notations
that may confuse people. Anyway, the site is really good. Thanks.
Caio
25-07-2003,
Hey Joop!
Incredible site, thanks! Hearing such acuto sfogatos sopranos
is a pleasure for me but that note in the Mariah clip you puted
in this site is (in my opinion) a C as Erna Sack ones, but Mariah
really reached a G in alt altissimo,( or the last G in the piano,
or double G, or G above high G etc)in a
live performance of her song Emotions in the MTV Music Awards
in 1991...isnt so hard to find...and in the studio she recorded
an F one octave above of that of the Queen of the Night in her
music All in your Mind wich is in her first cd and is very easy
to find(put it into your site)
I heard that , believe me!!!

What a happy thing to find your website. I am Cornelie Meysenheim's
grandaughter. I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA. Everything
you have said about my grandmother is factual. And, yes, William
III did provide the means for her study with Pauline Viardot-Garcia
on Paris. Apparently there was a bit of a misunderstanding between
my grandmother and William III of which I have proof. I would
very much like to know where the photos of my grandmother's portrait
as well as the other photos came from. I know for a fact that
they are authentic but would like to keep that to myself for
now. Perhaps I might have some information that would interest
you regarding my grandmother. I would be very happy to hear from
you.

If the recording of Mariah Carey is in correct pitch - and it
sounds correct to me - then she does not sing a G at all! She
sings a b''' (or h''' in german/scandinavian) and the pitch is
about 1980 hz - a tritonus above Mozart's f''', so it is high,
but still well "within the piano". And if 16 hz is
C0, then it is a B7.
Singers who reach extremely low notes most often cheat by using
a special technique known as "multiphonics" or "stroh-bass",
which makes the voice jump down an octave. But it is difficult,
and it doesn't sound well, so it is easy to hear when a singer
does this. (it can sometimes work a good effect in a choir, though).
Yma Sumac certainly used this trick! But since even using this
technique nobody can go lower than their lowest natural note
plus an octave, I find it highly unlikely that any woman could
possibly go as low as the piano! The american avant-garde singer
Joan la Barbara can make her voice jump down an octave plus a
fifth, but that is extremely difficult and not something that
can be used for any practical purposes. Personally I can only
sometimes do it and this way touch the lowest A on a normal piano.
The lowest note I have ever heard anyone sing without cheating
was my father who one morning hit a E1 - the deepest note of
a doublebass (about 41 hz), and with a pleasant sound too! But
the ability to hit an A1 (55 hz) or even a G1 (48 hz) is not
uncommon for older bass singers even though the sound is usually
not powerful enough for soloist purposes. A bass who can sing
a D well enough to perform as Osmin, will normally have lower
notes that he only sings in his bathroom.

Hello Joop,

Dear Joop!
I read your website DUTCH DIVAS with great enthusiasm and interest!
It must have taken weeks of work to prepare something in such
loving detail! Congratulations! I wanted to add something to
the info you already have there...
... you write on the page "The High C" about the extreme
ranges of human voices. Everything you write is excellent, but
you have slightly underestimated the cruelty with which certain
composers have treated the BASS voice! :-)
I can think of at least three written (I mean written by the
composer, not an optional note, cadenza etc) bottom D's for the
bass voice. Two are both by Monteverdi. The first is at the death
of Seneca in L'Incoronazione di Poppea. The second - well, I
forget where it is, but it's in the fragmentary opera Il Ritorno
di Ulisse in Patria. The third example - and maybe there are
others? - is Mozart. In Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail, Osmin's
final aria "Ha! So will ich triumphieren!" has written
bottom D's, which the singer is obliged to hold for long notes!
Kurt Moll recorded the whole opera and he hits his D very well
- although in the Recording Studio, which makes life a little
easier! However, I have heard Richard Van Allen and Stafford
Dean both sing it live :-))
By the way, in the Russian Kantechion (Mass of the Dead) setting
by Rachmaninov, the composer writes an optional bottom B. I've
heard it sung by extraordinary Russian basses in choirs here.
Best Regards from Moscow

Mr. Lindeijer;
Having recently discovered your website while looking for
information on the highest vocal ranges in music history, I felt
the necessity to express the gratification I had, in particular
from 'The high C' section. It was overwhelming to be able to
listen to extracts from Erna Sack's and Mado Robin's performances
in addition to the introductory descriptions and notes you have
supplied. But the point I would like to stress is the possible
vocal range of human beings in reference to an article I recently
have read about Mariah Carey and the Guinness Book of World Records.
The article reports;
In the latest edition of The Guinness Book of World Records,
set for a March 2003 release date, pop-diva MARIAH CAREY scores
still another title. According to Guinness officials, the siren's
ethereal pipes hold the record for having hit the highest note
in the history of recorded music. In a live rendition of "The
Star-Spangled Banner" last year, Mariah hit a G7#-note,
outdoing even the piano. Technically, the exertion of G7#-notes
is "dolphin speak," since, in theory, these are the
only mammals physiologically equipped with the proper lung-structure
to produce G7#-notes. So powerful are G7#-notes that these are
capable of countering water and electric currents, and have even
been known to outdistance space and range. In the world, Carey
is the only other living creature to have ever generated a G7#-note.
Clinically, Mariah's voice is termed a medical wonder. But the
"altisisima" Carey is no stranger to the Guinness Book,
as the songbird is titleholder to dozen other titles. Correlating
to Carey’s latest record, in a back edition of the Guinness
Book, Carey is credited with possessing a 7-octave range, meaning
she is able to go from an A2 (eight full-scaled keys below the
lowest possible note on a piano) to a G7#-note without deviating
from perfect pitch and all in the time-span of one breath. Behind
vocal wonder Carey, who still goes un-championed, are Yma Sumac,
ringing in at 5 octaves, and the late Minnie Riperton, with 4.5
octaves.
Source: BBC News.
Being a total amateur on the issue and commenting in the light
of the information I received from your website, the article
- in particular for claiming the exertion of a G7 note - appears
to be in fallacy. Because in my humble opinion no human being
may be capable of hearing a G7 note, (letting aside the exertion
of it) if what Erna Sack hits in Frühlingsstimmen Walzer
is a c4. I would be grateful to receive your comments on the
issue.
PS: I have a copy of Miss Carey's mentioned live retention
of The Star Spangled Banner and I must confess she exactly hits
some astonishing notes yet it sorrowfully is impossible for me
to compare notes accurately via hearing for I am uneducated.
Still I doubt that the note Miss Carey hits singing the word
'free' through the end of her performance might be higher than
the high c.

Dear Joop Lindeijer,
Thank you for your message. I enjoy your site very much and
have a keen interest in historical vocal methods. I have been
attempting to read Zanten's Bel Canto des Wortes in German, not
my strong point either! So, I completely understand your struggle
to translate. I hope to prepare an English translation of this
important book for voice teachers. I am the Editor of the Newsletter
for the New York Singing Teachers Association (NYSTA), a 100
year old organization for voice teachers her in New York City.
Best wishes with your work. And Bravo for such a stimulating
website!
All best wishes,

I hope to be able to read the full translation (into English)
regarding Van
Zanten! I am sorry that there isn't more. A wonderful site, none-the-less!
Many thanks,

Patience please Daniel, most parts written
in Dutch, will be translated in English. But English is not my
strongest point, I'm translating with the dictionary within reach.

Hi!
Very good site you have! Very much information on Dutch singers-hard
to find elsewhere. But couple corrections about those high(and
low) notes, if you please...
Callas's highest recorded note is indeed the high E-no F's have
been found (sadly). But as for the low end,apart from Amelia's
low a, there is g sharp in "Una voce poco fa" (Rossini/Barbiere),
g natural in "Amore dolce impero" (Rossini/Armida)
and low f sharp in "Arrigo, ah parli a un core" (Verdi/Vespri)
and somewhere in Kundry's part also (Wagner/Parsifal) (?). All
these has Callas recorded (in original keys). So: almost 3 octaves...
The highest note in "Popolo di Tessaglia" (twice) sure
sounds like high E (not G). But I'll look from the score... Lowest
note Mozart wrote is low D for Osmin in Seraglio (Ha, wie will
ich triumphieren).Sarastro's lowest is indeed F.
Other curiosities: for soprano high F sharp in "Grossmächtige
Prinzessin" (Strauss/Ariande auf Naxos). For mezzos several
high B naturals in Verdi (Amneris, Eboli) and actually a high
c sharp-but rarely sung-in Azucena's cadenza in act II. For alto
low e in II act of Verdi's Falstaff.
High F (!) for tenor in the second stanza of "Credeasi,
misera" (Bellini/Puritani). This has been recorded (at least)
3 times:
Pavarotti (falsetto/poorly supprted voix mixte), Gedda (attacked
piano, then cresc.) and my personal favourite William Matteuzzi,
live recording from Bellini Festival ("the real thing"
tm). I have heard that there WAS high G (for Rubini) somewhere
in "Favorita", but there is no trace of it in modern
vocal score. High a flat (optional) in Tonio's prologue in I
pagliacchi. (and high b natural marked falsetto in I act of Falstaff).
Low C for Baron Ochs in Rosenkavalier (I act, his exit). Also
for same singer, high g sharp later in act II (but ossia for
octave down).
And in modern operas, even more...
Yours,
Kari Vehmanen

Hello!
Compliments for the beautiful site! I would like to suggest a
correction in the text of “The high C”. The lowest
note ever written for a male voice is not Sarastro’s F in
“Zauberflöte”. The lowest vocal note in the classical
repertoire is in Osmin’s Aria in “Die Entführung
aus dem Serail” still by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It calls
for a low D (73.4 Hz). (source: “Guinness World Records
2000, Millennium Edition”). I have another correction. Well,
is not a true correction. I am talking about the sound file (wma
file) of Mozart’s “Popoli di Tessaglia!” KV316,
sung by Annemarie Kremer (Bayreuth, June 2002) The difficult
Aria, calls for a stratospheric G3, but the singer Annemarie
Kremer reaches “only” a E3 and than comes back (D3
C3). So first as second time.
In my opinion, it would be better if you will add a sound
clip containing the original G3. After all, that was the real
purpose of Mozart’s difficulties Concert Aria, wasn’t?
I know only about 3 records of this piece: Edita Gruberova, Rita
Streich and Natalie Dessay. Of course, they are only few women
able to sing that G3 …
Thank you very much!
Best regards, N.P.

Hello
I have found my grandfather on this site - Richard van Helvoirt
Pel (1873-1950). Sadly he died well before I was born (in NZ).
My mother Olga was his daughter and her only brother, Richard
van Helvoirt Pel (Jnr) was also of "fame" in Holland
during his career as a "Make Up Artist" for TV etc.
I study classical singing here in NZ myself. Can you advise me
whether my grandfather has mention on any other Opera sites.
I still have his recordings (78 size records) and some of his
concert programmes. He retired to Nice in the South of France
after completing his career. I was told that he had performed
at La Scala and also in Germany?

Hello. I very much admired your excellent website of Dutch Divas.
I found it while searching for information about Johannes Messchaert.
I wonder if you can help me trace any recordings that may exist
of Messchaert for a research project I'm doing with my students
at King's College on Lieder singing. If you know any of the original
catalogue numbers and the location of surviving copies that would
be wonderful.
Thank you so much, and sorry to bother you,
Best wishes,
Dan Leech-Wilkinson
Dear Mr. Leech-Wilinson,
Unfortunately I can't help you. Messchaert
never made any recordings. The reason was that he wasn't satisfied
with the quality of the recording technics those days. He obviously
made some try outs but in his opinion the
results doesn't show full advantage to his voice.

What a fantastic website you built. I especially enjoyed reading

the following quote from your site:
"He went into hiding, however was arrested and died in 1943
in the German concentration camp Sobibor. "
I don't know anyone who died in Sobibor. I believe everyone was
killed. I recommend you change the verb.

Dear Mr. Lindeijer,
I am researching the internet for information on Dutch oboist,
Haakon Stotijn in particular, and I discovered your interesting
website on Dutch singers. I saw a reference to a concert or recording
of Haakon Stotijn with either theConcertgebouw orchestra or the
Vienna Philharmonic. Would it be possible for you to share some
of your information with me? I am doing the research on Haakon
Stotijn for an article for the journal of the Double Reed Society
here in America. I would appreciate any information you could
send about Stotijn, and any other Dutch oboist for that matter.
Of all styles in the world I believe the Dutch style the most
beautiful and expressive.

Your website is wonderful and has alerted me to a great many
recordings by van Beinum and others, many of which I have ordered
through Dutch websites. Without your website, I, living in America,
would be totally unaware of these recordings, many of which as
you know, are only released in the Netherlands by Philips. You
will be interested to know, you may be aware of this already,
that Decca will release a box of van Beinum recordings in March
2003. I believe it is a 5-CD set.
Keep up the great work!

Greetings!
I am enjoying very much your site "Dutch Divas" and
have been collecting historical recordings for many years. I
am a great fan of the many Dutch singers and have just made the
discovery that a tenor in my collection, Julius Peters, was actually
Jules Moes. I might mention that he also recorded acoustically
for the "Favorite" label...I have in my possession
a 12" Favorite "sample" record # 2-15038 Lohengrin
"Graals-erzahlung" coupled with 2-15039 Zauberflote
"Bildnisarie." On the label, he is listed as "Julius
Peters, tenor am Deutschen Landestheater, Prag."

Dear Mr Lindeijer:
Many thanks for your informative reply about the programs
you use for your web site. I shall be considering all of your
suggestions carefully. And, I want to tell you, that I'll be
a continuing devotee of your site.
May I ask you, Can you give me the current address of Aafje Heynis?
As unlikely as it may seem, I am new to her singing. I recently
purchased a CD on Philips of her performances of two Bach cantatas
and Seven Sacred Songs. I should like to tell her how much her
singing has meant to me (in faraway New York, decades after it
was recorded). The number of times in my life I've regretted
that I did not communicate with someone while they were living
-- and have regretted not having done so for years afterward
-- is quite large!
Keep up your Good Work!
I remain, Cordially yours,
