I got an email from Adam Cuerden (talk · contribs) that this must be marked {{PD-US}}, but that it can not be on commons. I do not understand why. I thought PD-US was sufficient for commons.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 19:37, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- No, all files on Commons must be public domain both in the U.S. and in their source country (in this case Hungary). The file is not in the public domain in Hungary because works do not fall into the public domain in the European Union until 70 years after the author's death. Hungary is in the European Union and Kodaly died in 1966, so this file will not be in the public domain in the EU until 2037 (the start of the year after the composer has been dead for 70 years).

Support - Wow, I never knew a cello could sound like that! There are a couple of intonation problems here and there in the higher registers, but these are to be expected. However the files must be renamed to "File:20091104 Alisa Weilerstein - Kodály's Sonata for Solo Cello, Op. 8 - 3. Allegro molto vivace.ogv" and its equivalent for the audio-only version. The same is true of other similar files that you've uploaded. Graham87 07:09, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Thanks, I've marked the original files for speedy deletion on Commons. Graham87 03:29, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
NOTICE I have just saved the audio portion of the video file over the audio nomination to eliminate some clicking sounds.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:41, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Sounded and looked great - while I could not make head nor tail of the music it has a high EV. Well done. There are some digital artifacts on the video, especially where she cellist moves her hands fast, but I can forgive that given the technical limitations of video on WP.

Support audio only. could not get video to play. Decent recording and lots of EV. Can't say I'm crazy for this kind of music, but that is just preference.TCO (reviews needed) 02:12, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Promoted Both It appears the concensus is in favour of promoting both with some prejudice against the video due to playback issues/ compression artifacts. --Guerillero | My Talk 00:57, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
