Erna Sack sings "Estrellita" by Manuel Ponce

The legendary German coloratura soprano, Erna Sack sings "Estrellita", a beautiful song by Manuel Ponce. (London)
At the end of the song, Erna went up gently to the high A, finishing the song with a lovely high F. (You know, the infamous note in the aria of The Queen of the Night.;) ) Before anybody would ask, yes, it can be considered "l'art pour l'art", or "see what I can do", if somebody wants to bitch, BUT this song is an invocation to a star, and it's obvious to go high if you want to reach a star, now isn't it? ;-)
___________________________________
Erna Sack (1898, Spandau - 1972, Mainz) was a German coloratura soprano, famous for her extreme vocal range, especially the extreme, ethereal high notes up to C4, above the "regular" soprano high C. Due to her ethereal (Have I used this phrase?) coloratura, she was referred to as "Die deutsche Nachtigall", or "The German Nightingale" in English. She was born as Erna Weber, but she took her husband's (Hermann Sack) surname, whom she married in 1921. She joined Berlin State Opera in 1928, but her real career started after 1930, when Erna started to sing in other opera houses throughout Germany. Her international career started in 1935, including performaces in London (Covent Garden), Austria, the Netherlands and in Italy, where she sang The Magic Flute with Tito Schipa. In 1937 she sang at Carnegie Hall with Joseph Schmidt and Tauber. Erna's two most famous movies are Blumen aus Nizza (1936) and Nanon (1938). She retired from stage in 1957.
