Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/Le trompeur trompé

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A thoroughly professional recording of a fine, if obscure opera. Lyrics are provided. They translate pretty easily, I'll do that tomorrow.

    • Question How do we know this is a 'fine' opera? Has it been performed in the last 100 years? Is there a recording? Has any music survived other than this aria? I've been looking and I can't find anything. --Kleinzach 04:48, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • You're the one who owns Grove and is the head of the Opera project. I'd have thought you had more resources to hand on 17th century (the 18th centuryt starts in 1801) French opera than I did - almost all my sources are on Victorian English opera. I suspect the music does survive - why would one aria alone survive? but suspect it would be far easier to find information in France. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 16:15, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose. Notability not established. --Kleinzach 05:36, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support If it is notable for the encyclopedia and improves the artilces it is in it is notable enough to be featured. Zginder 2008-09-16T13:03Z (UTC)
  • Oppose. So thus far, there's one functional support, isnt' there. Can we work out how the policy of notability applies to sound files, please? I'm confused. This is a good performance, although it's a pity the clarinet is so closely miked—the chalumeau isn't flattering, and there are a few breathy phrases; odd, since the tone elsewhere is beautiful. If this work was an opera (again, no link), surely this is some strange kind of reduction of the orchestral parts for piano and clarinet; the info page says nothing. Again, we all need to read WP:DASH to get it right for year ranges. Spaced or unspaced? Hyphen or en dash? You tell me. Surely Levine should be linked; and doesn't the composer have a dedicated article? Tony (talk) 06:45, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Good recording, has potential to be used well inside other parts of the project. Xavexgoem (talk) 23:37, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
