Most professional singers can span between two to three octaves. Pavarotti’s scaled around two-and-a-half, from C3 to F5.
But get a load of this German bass, stage name, Ivan Rebroff, who defied all records with his four-octave-plus range which scaled comfortably from low bass to soprano registers – from liquid thunder, up to a shimmering bell.
Such was the span of his expressive voice, he was featured in the Guinness Book of Records for his vocal range which extended “easily over four octaves from a low F to a high F, one-and-a-quarter octaves above C”.
