[Shrunk]

Item #2 two on this list claims to be the highest recorded sung note, by French soprano Mado Robin:

That's Mado Robin all right, and I have this recording (it's available commerically) but I don't think it's a high D over high C. I think it's a B or B flat. AFAIK Robin didn't go over C.

Anyone with perfect pitch to comment? I'm curious...

It's a high Ab. 

tem #2 two on this list claims to be the highest recorded sung note

Doesn't it just say that it is one of the highest notes, and that the highest recorded singer is Georgia Brown who is reported (by the Guiness Book of Records) to have reached G10?

OUCH! I refer not to that high note but to the absolutely hideous massacre of Mozart by Florence Foster Jenkins. (Scroll down on that page.)

For those interested in such things, there was the curious Yma Sumac with a 5-octave range (or at least 4).

Very curious, indeed, with more than the hint of a charlatan. She may have had a Mado Robin range but made it into a kind of cult.
Mozart, did however, record the highest notes of Lucrezia Agujari as reaching an octave above high C.

The highest recorded sung note I've heard is a Bb6 (nearly an octave above "high C").  I cannot now remember the soprano's name, but as I recall (this was in my college days! ) it was done by a French soprano, recorded in about the 1930s, and inhumanly perfect in pitch and quality.
