Hempel sings Mimi's aria from 'La Boheme,' recorded in Berlin on 18 September 1913. This side is a little more 'well-loved' than those I have previously uploaded, but still quite acceptable. From Wikipedia: Frieda Hempel (26 June 1885 – 7 October 1955) was a German soprano singer in operatic and concert work who had an international career in Europe and the United States. Hempel was born in Leipzig and studied first at the Leipzig Conservatory and afterwards at the Stern Conservatory, Berlin, where she was a pupil of Selma Nicklass-Kempner. Her earliest appearances were in Breslau, singing Violetta, the Queen of the Night and Rosina. She made a debut in Schwerin in 1905, and was engaged there for the next two years, singing also Gilda, Leonora (Il Trovatore) and Woglinde. She made such a success that the Kaiser Wilhelm II requested the Schwerin authorities to release her to sing also in Berlin. She made a debut there in 1905 as Frau Fluth (in Nicolai's Die Lustigen Weiber von Windsor). She sang at the Royal Court Opera, Berlin, from 1907 to 1912, where she was also admired as Lucia, Marguerite de Valois and Marie. She appeared at the Covent Garden, London in 1907 as Bastienne, as Humperdinck's Hänsel und Gretel, as Eva and Elsa and again as Frau Fluth: Melba and Selma Kurz were taking centre stage in the more popular roles. In 1912 she made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera, in New York City as Marguerite de Valois in Les Huguenots. She sang regularly in New York thereafter into the 1920s. She was the first to sing the Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier in New York (for Gatti-Casazza, December 9, 1913) and in Berlin, and she also sang the role in London in 1913. She was in the Met 1913 Un Ballo in Maschera as Oscar, with Caruso, Emmy Destinn, Margarete Matzenauer and Pasquale Amato; also the 1916 Marriage of Figaro with Matzenauer, Geraldine Farrar and Antonio Scotti. Her La Fille du Régiment was presented there in 1917. Hempel had a very wide dramatic range, from Rosina or Queen of the Night to Wagner's Eva and Weber's Euryanthe (Metropolitan, 1914 revival). After 1919 she devoted herself to concert recitals, and left the Metropolitan Opera House somewhat abruptly, making way for the career of Amelita Galli-Curci. However she then made a second career on the concert platform, excelling in the performance of lieder of Mozart, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms and Wolf, in Mozart concert arias, and the like. She became famous for recitals in which she appeared in costume as the famous nineteenth-century soprano Jenny Lind. She died in Berlin in 1955 at the age of 70.

~The "Glass Shatterers!" series focuses on sopranos who sustain High F, or sing higher. THE SONGBIRD: Elizabeth Harwood +••.••(...)) was raised in Yorkshire by musical parents / her mother was a professional soprano, Constance Read, and gave Harwood voice lessons. Harwood studied at the Royal Manchester College of Music and at the age of 21, she won the Kathleen Ferrier Memorial Scholarship and spent a year in Milan studying with Lina Pagliughi. Her professional debut came as Second Boy in "The Magic Flute" at Glyndebourne in 1960. She became a member of the Sadler's Wells company in 1961 where she sang Manon, Gilda, Rossini's Adele, Konstanze, Countess Rosina, Fiakermilli, and Zerbinetta. After a tour of Australia with Joan Sutherland's company in 1967, Harwood's regular appearances at the Scottish Opera began with Fiordiligi and continued with Sophie, Lucia, Rosalinde, and Eva (her only Wagner role). At Covent Garden in the 1960s and 1970s she sang Fiakermilli, Gilda, Oscar, Donna Elvira, Norina, Arabella, and Manon. For Glyndebourne, she was Fiordiligi, Countess Rosina, and, in 1982, the Marschallin. Appearances abroad included Aix-en-Provence (Donna Elvira in 1967, Galatea in 1969); Salzburg (Konstanze and Fiordiligi in 1970, Countess Rosina in 1972); The Met (Fiordiligi in 1975); and La Scala (Konstanze in 1971). Harwood died of cancer at age 52. This recording of the original 1912 version of Zerbinetta's aria from the BBC, with Norman Del Mar conducting, only exists in poor audio. I have long searched for a better quality file, and even had a contact who works in the audio archives of the BBC search for it there, but to no avail / so for now, this is the best we have. THE MUSIC: Richard Strauss's opera "Ariadne auf Naxos" premiered twice. The first was in 1912 in Stuttgart where it was conceived as a short opera to accompany a new adaption of Moliere's play, "Le Bourgeois gentilhomme." This version was performed in other cities over the next year (Zurich, Munich, Prague, and London), but the play/opera hybrid concept proved ineffective (and way too long at over six hours). Working with his librettist/partner Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Strauss refashioned the opera as a stand-alone work with a newly added prologue, which premiered in this new form to success in Vienna in 1916. This version of the opera was quickly embraced by critics, artists, and the public / it has since been recorded commercially many times and is performed regularly around the world. Only rarely have there been staged or even concert productions of the earlier 1912 version of the opera and there is only one commercial recording. One of the changes Strauss made for the 1916 score was to lower the key and cut or alter about four minutes of music from Zerbinetta's grand aria "Grossmächtige Prinzessin." (In this video, I have roughly marked the three sections of deleted or altered music). Both versions are insane, but this original version is incomprehensibly difficult at nearly 15 minutes in length and with a gruelingly high tessitura, including two High F-sharps. In either version, the scene demands a level of virtuosic musicianship and theatrical flair that is simply unmatched. Zerbinetta is a coloratura soubrette on steroids! In this scene and role, Strauss invented an entirely new musical language to exploit the unique glories of the coloratura soprano voice. He revisited this proprietary mode of highly gymnastic vocalism a few other times afterwards: in the art song "Amor" (1918), with Fiakermilli in "Arabella" (1933), and for Aminta in "Die schweigsame Frau" (1935).
