Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/Sergei Rachmaninoff

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One of Rachmaninoff's most popular works, performed by a notable interpreter of his works.

One thing I must ask, though: File:Prelude_3_2_Rach_playing.ogg is the original. Can you be hard on the restoration, particularly the timing of the first three chords, which had some extra damage, and which I think I fixed successfully. If there's problems, I want to know and fix them, not coast by, so please, double-check my work and don't let me get away with anything.

  • Oppose per Jujutacular. I noticed the clipping and then listened to the original and did not hear it. It could be a compression artifact as 66 kbps is small for so many notes are being played simultaneously in that stretch. Zginder 2010-03-16T16:12Z (UTC)
  • Support. Is there much difference in the "clipping"? I find it hard to detect. This is a valuable recording. Tony (talk) 17:29, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Conditional support: I agree that this is a valuable recording, and very much worthy of featured status on that basis. I was picking up some distortion myself a bit. I'll let better ears weigh in on that, but I'm inclined to support otherwise should the others come to a consensus on that point. Imzadi 1979  23:38, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Sadly, perhaps, the mountain this file has to climb to reach a super-majority is too great at this time. Participation at F.S. being what it is, I doubt this will see another three supports in any reasonable amount of time.
