Her real name was Elisabeth Hoffmann. After her parentsÆ divorce she and her mother moved to Wiesbaden/Germany. Although her talent for singing was evident at an early age she had to work as a secretary to support her mother. When she heard the famous Mme Charles Cahier at the theatre singing Carmen she decided to audition for Eugen Robert Weiss. She soon became the prize pupil at the Spangenberg Conservatory, where she met Baron Eugen Borisowitsch Lhwoff OnTgin (his mother had studied singing with Garcfa). He soon became her advisor and accompanist and eventually her first husband. Max von Schillings invited her to the Stuttgart Hofoper where she made her dTbut as Carmen in 1912. Only some weeks later she was the partner opposite Enrico CarusoÆs Don JosT. He was so impressed by her that he immediately wanted to take her to the United States! But because of the wise opposition of her husband she prevented such a venture. She continued her studies in Stuttgart with Cavaliere de Ranieri. By 1914 she was on her way to start a world career. But at the outbreak of Worldwar I, her Russian husband had to go into hiding and she succeeded in keeping him secluded for two years. The war had also terminated her studies with de Ranieri. She made further studies with Margarete Siems, the first Chrysothemis, Marschallin and Zerbinetta. In 1919 her husband died. Her repertory included more than 500 songs, performing them in 13 languages... It was in Munich where she met her second husband, the physician Dr. Fritz Pentzoldt. At this time she gave countless recitals in all German cities (apart from her operatic activities). In 1922 she left for the United States where she made her dTbut in Carnegie Hall in a concert conducted by Leopold Stokowski. Her success was tremendous, but it was not until November 1922 she made her first appearance at the MET as Amneris. Her partners were Elisabeth Rethberg and Giovanni Martinelli. She also sang BrangSne and Fricka. She toured America as a recitalist and continued to appear in USA regularly until 1938. From 1920 - 1931 she was a member of the ensemble of the StSdtische Oper Berlin and from 1931 - 1935 she had also a guest contract with the Stadttheater Znrich. She appeared in Salzburg, at the Bayreuth Festival, the Paris OpTra, the Vienna Staatsoper and at Covent Garden. After 1931 until her death she lived in Switzerland.

Frequently you can read that OnTgin did not approach Schumann-HeinkÆs fire and communicative power and commitment. I admit, listening to her the first time I had the impression of a ômarmorealö voice. But over the years I have managed to love the ôtrue OnTgin sound.ö How describing her voice? It is a sumptous voice of velvety and metallic color at the same time. There is an extraordinary flexibility which is so characteristic for her. The most famous examples are the vocalise of ChopinÆs Impromptu in A flat which was especially arranged for her. Even more thrilling is ArditiÆs Leggiero invisibile. Two of her most superb recordings are O prOtres de Baal from MeyerbeerÆs Le ProphFte and the Brindisi from DonizettiÆs Lucrezia Borgia (cadenzas!). She could move from note to note like a string instrument, her range was of almost three octaves (!). Her trill was a phenomen. Her Lieder recordings (1920 - 1930) are true treasures. Her version of SchubertÆs Erlk÷nig, Du bist die RuhÆ, Freiwilliges Versinken, the Mozart songs, MendelssohnÆs Die Liebende schreibt belong to the most outstanding contralto lieder recordings. O prOtres de Baal (FidFs in Le ProphFte / Meyerbeer / Victor 1929) ôTon muss Ausdruck und Ausdruck muss Ton werden.ö Sigrid OnTgin More Great Records on sale right now: CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE MORE GREAT RECORDS CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE ALL ITEMS - VINTAGE BOOKS, VICTROLA and TURNTABLE ITEMS, CDs, Books and DVDs http://shop.ebay.com/carsten_sf/m.html ==== A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING: As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.
