Please cut and paste new entries to the bottom of this page, creating a new monthly archive (by closing date) when necessary.

  • For promoted entries, add '''Promoted Example.ogg''' --~~~~ to the bottom of the entry, replacing Example.ogg with the file that was promoted.
  • For entries not promoted, add '''Not promoted''' --~~~~ to the bottom of the entry.
  • For entries demoted, add '''Demoted Example.ogg''' --~~~~ to the bottom of the entry.

Use variants as appropriate, e.g. with a large set of files, all of which pass, '''Promoted all''' is fine, but if one of them didn't pass for some reason, make sure that's clear.

A fine, dramatic duet.

That's original, I'm afraid, though I can't say whether it's from the cylinder or the transfer. In any case, neither is fixable. Unfortunately - as I'm sure you'll understand - We don't have the resources to commission transfers of dozens of cylinders and intercut them in order to make one commercial recording. I'm one person, and do this from my house, with the few free-to-use transfers I can find. =) Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 00:29, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Caruso would have been on a 78 disc, not a cylinder, right? And I do not hear that artifact on my Caruso 78'S. (Nor my cylinders, for that matter). Edison (talk) 05:26, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Of course you're right: It was Caruso and other big stars' presence on 78s that was in a big proportion responsible for killing cylinders, and I knew that. *shakes head* It's probably an issue of transfer, then - sudden loudness overwhatsiting the mike - but unless someone's able to get me a new transfer of this recording, I don't think anything can be done. Forgive me, I've come down a little ill and am not thinking entirely straight, not helped that it's been at least a quarter of a year since I did this cleanup =) Sadly, cleanups are, to my knowledge, copyrightable, so we can't just tae someone else's .Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 05:40, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Promoted - Enrico Caruso, Giuseppe de Luca, Giuseppe Verdi, Nè gustare m'è dato un'ora (La forza del destino).ogg  GARDEN  18:49, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]



A fine recording, excellent quality, and caught my eye (well, ear) while I was poking around.

Promoted: Sarasate - Navarra Op. 33.ogg  GARDEN  14:13, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Three brilliant parts of a brilliant piece of classical music here, composed by Chopin and performed by John Michel. My first FSC so bear with me ;) These appear in Cello Sonata (Chopin) (naturlich) and have great encyclopediac value.
