Suite[edit]

The mention of the suite is useful, but I am not clear what is the significance or notability of mentioning this particular performance by these particular artists - with a reference to an advert at a commercial site – on the Jolie fille de Perth page. It might have relevance on the conductor’s page or his discography but it isn’t mentioned there at all. The same thing has happened at The Spider's Feast.

Totally agree. One isolated performance out of thousands is not the way to go, unless it was the premiere performance of the suite, which I rather doubt was the case here -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 23:04, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree this information certainly does not belong in the lead of the article, though it might have a place in the Recordings section if properly referenced.--Francesco Malipiero (talk) 00:45, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have assembled a short paragraph to replace the present material for the suite; for the record my sources were the IMSLP site (full score), the notes to the Cluytens suite recording on Testament and the booklet from the complete EMI recording. I hope this helps. Cg2p0B0u8m (talk) 17:20, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Without unduly wishing to intrude, the discussion of the question of the Suite is still tripped up by the article's listings. What we currently have suggests that Toscanini performed the whole opera in a 1943 broadcast. Clearly what he actually performed ( a recording exists) was the Suite - quite possibly for the only time in his career, and it's doubtful whether he ever performed anything else from the opera. It might be noted by Wikipedia editors concerned with classical music that it is not obligatory to mention Toscanini at the drop of a hatDelahays (talk) 10:26, 28 August 2016 (UTC).[reply]
